Raindrops hit my windshield as I drove down the busy street, the sound of the raindrops sounded peaceful apart from the bustling streets of Burgess. Not many cars passed me, many people walked to their destination, although they get angry if you accidentally bump into them. The sidewalks were filled with people going to and from malls and shops trying to get in some last minute gifts. It was always The busiest day of the year besides black Friday, December 20th. Christmas Eve was a day to spend with family. I wish I was with Anna... I came to a slow stop at the red light, letting people cross the road.
Street lamps flickered on as the sun set, leaving the sky a half orange half purple color. The rain started to slow as the sun set, revealing a dawn rainbow. The stop light turned green and I started driving, the shops lights cut out as I passed, signalling they were closed. As I neared the end of the town, the wooded area came quick, leaving branches from trees hanging over me. The road was paved, although it was not finished so it left behind holes and cracks.
Everything in my car jumped around as I drove over the holes and cracks. I honestly hate driving cars, I'd rather ride a motorcycle. I flicked on my lights as it got darker so I could see the road ahead of me. This road was actually my long driveway, my house lies at the end.
It was a simple wooden cabin, not to big, not to small. It was Perfect.
I lived by myself, but I have a certain special someone *Wiggles eyebrows*
Oh! I'm terribly sorry, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Elsa Edwards, weird name huh?
I am 17, about to be 18 in 5 days. Yes I was born on Christmas, but sadly, I don't get extra gifts.
My parents and Anna got lost at sea while on a boating trip, someone found their boat but.... nobody was on board. That happened 6 years ago.
So ever since, I've been living by myself. Nobody really noticed which was a good thing, I could do whatever I want without having to be told to. I cut my own firewood and build my own fires. I clean and cook, I can't stand a dirty house. I have a job at the local mall in the food court. I would say it's a decent paying job, I make about 300.00$ a month. If it's a busy week/day then I would make close to 1,000.00$ a month.
I parked my car and grabbed my keys and is jacket, it must be 13° outside! I opened my door feeling the cold wind hit my face, sending chills up my spine.
I stepped out and shut my door and locked the car, hearing it honk twice. I walked through the snow and towards my door. My house was layered with two layers of wood to help keep the winter breeze from getting in. I unlocked my dark wooden door and stepped in, smiling at the fact I kept the heat on throughout the day. Oh, don't worry, I don't have to pay for it. I made a deal with the company to give them free meals at the mall. The inside was roomy, the living room was large with two sofas in it, a kitchen with a bar and a large amount of cooking space, a dishwasher, a three door fridge and a long line of cabinets for dishes. My bedroom was the one upstairs, all I had to do was walk up the stairs and there it was, my bed was a queen size with pink covers, I had a bedside table and lamp beside it. My bathroom was just a toilet, but if you walk through the door in there, there will be a sink, shower, cabinet, and bathtub, I also have stuff in there I need like makeup, shampoo, conditioner, hair supplys and so on.
I also don't have to pay rent, since this is my house.
I flicked on the lights and walked into my living room and put my stuff on my couch and walked into the kitchen. The stove clock read 7:54 PM. I opened the fridge and picked up a cold coke. I closed it and grabbed an Apple from the bar and walked Into the living room and sat down on the white leather sofa.
I sighed and closed my eyes, feeling drained of energy. I'm going ice skating on my backyard pond tomorrow, so that is great. Tomorrow is also Saturday, so no work. I popped open the canned coke and drank it slowly, feeling the coke sizzling on my cheeks and tounge. Some people hate that feeling, but I love it. I slid my shoes off and put my legs and feet on the couch beside me as I leaned on the arm of the couch.
knock
My head darted up, looking around me. What was that?
knock
I stood up and ran to the door, locking it.
knock
I began to freak out. What is that!? I ran to my kitchen and grabbed a knife.
knock
Wait... it was just my fridge.
"I'm an idiot" I laughed at myself and put the knife away, returning to my sofa.
The next day....
I slowly opened my eyes, the light shined in from the glass door, making me squint and cover my eyes. Why do they have to be so sensitive D:
I fell asleep on my sofa again, I watched Once Upon a Time again, finally getting to the end of season 3. I let the small brown cover fall as I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I stretched and stood up, walking towards my bathroom to get a shower and put on my ice skating clothes.
Later on....
I strapped my light blue coat and dark blue jeans with leg warmers under it. I brushed out my long brown hair and left it down. I put on a light blue beanie and walked out of the bathroom and to the kitchen to make a light breakfast.
Later on... (I don't want to bore you guys)
I put on my ice skates and stepped onto the ice, getting excited. I swirled and spun on the ice, remembering my ice skating performance from when I was ten. I won first place :D
I stopped in the middle of the pond and smiled, forgetting how fun this was.
The wind was light against my cheeks, the sun shined in front of me, it had just come up. My breathing hitched as I heard a crack below me. I felt the blood drain from my face as I looked down and saw cracks below me. I slowly bleeped down and tried crawling away, but it cracked more and more as I tried. The trees seemed to pity me, as the wind blew them away from me. My heart was beating out of my chest as I started to panic, which led to me moving and cracking the ice more. Everything seemed to slow down as the ice broke and I fell in. It felt as if a thousand needles were puncturing my skin. Water filled my lungs as I got deeper and deeper into the water, losing consciousness.
I closed my eyes as darkness overcame me.
