"Fire is particular." Your science teacher, Ms. Ober, said. "The ancient Greeks amazingly started fire with concentrated sunlight. A parabolic mirror that focuses solar rays is still used to ignite the Olympic torch..." 

Everything was simple in life. Well as simple as it could be. Everything happened the same way everyday. You woke up at your adopted dad's house. You left for school. You came back. You showered. Finished any homework you had. Went to sleep and had nightmares. And it repeated. 

It was all simple. Accept fire, according to Ms. Ober.

You started falling asleep. You gasped, sitting up. Everything was enveloped in darkness. There was nothing there. "Hello?" You called. 

"Y/N L/N" A female voice said. "You should be dead" the voice continued.

The darkness evolved into the dream- or nightmare, you normally had. 

"Mommy, where is y/n" The little boy cried.

"I'm sorry baby" The mother cried, holding the child. There was a flash of light and all of a sudden the boy with black hair and green eyes was sitting playing with toys. The mother was watching the boy with a guilty look in her eyes. 

"We will find you y/n." The mother silently vowed. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up with a gasp. "Y/n! Please see me in the hall" Ms. Ober glared hard at you. 

"I'm sorry Miss. I had a rough night last night." You recalled, your cheek stinging where the bottle cut you.

"Your parents giving you hard time?" She asked sarcastically. "Oh right they aren't your parents"  The sinister teacher laughed as you backed away with wide eyes. She was growing in size and was turning into a monstrosity. 

"MS. OBER!" You yelled. She looked at you and started running? Crawling? Flying? Towards you. So you did the only sensible thing, you ran. You ran down the hall towards the front door, which seemed much further than they had been before. You zigged-zagged, hoping to throw the demon off your trail.

You ran faster and looked back, which was a mistake. The demonic teacher was right behind you. You saw a random desk out in the hall. Thank god for the troublesome kids who thought it was funny. You tried sliding under it and as soon as you hit the shadows everything became dark. You closed your eyes in fear and opened them again. You were in a forest and could see a pine tree on the far side of the hill. 

You ran towards it hoping to get some signal on your phone and figure out how you traveled from school to here- where ever here  was.  As you came to the tree you heard growling. 

"Seriously?" you turned around and were confronted by two humongous dogs. They were totally black with red eyes. You wanted to scream, but it died in your throat. You kept running to the tree, but the dogs attacked you. You screamed as one bit into your ankle with excruciating pain. You heard shouts behind you, but you didn't care. 

Now you were just angry. Angry at your foster parents. Angry at your mom for abandoning you. For your brother, for forgetting. Your dad for leaving you. And most of all for these STUPID dogs! Ignoring the pain, you jumped on one of the dogs' back as they charged at you. 

You then saw the people who were yelling at you earlier. They seemed about your age- 16. You blushed self-consciously and went back to attacking the dogs. 

You grabbed a branch from the ground, almost falling off the dog's back. You yelped and stabbed the dog with it. Next thing you knew you were sitting in a bunch of dust. You just sat there in surprise. The other black dog must have been scared because it was gone. 

Limping to the people, you started to feel woozy, the adrenaline wearing off. You trailed a trail of blood from you ankle onto the grass. Your h/c (Hair color) hair was matted with blood. Your vision started to blur and you heard some kids yelling for someone. Then everything went dark.


A/N: Hi, this is my first x reader so it's going to be real cringy lol. This chapter was pretty short so I may get another chapter out today, but I don't know (I'll try!) Anyway thanks for reading!! I was wondering if you would like to see the pov how it is or should I do it as I.

Less confusing: Basically should I do it in 1st person (Me, myself, and I) or 2nd person (You, your)?
