                                                        Chapter 1: Insane

My hearts pounding, each step I make, knowing that if  I stop for even a second I will die. I can hear the footsteps from a distance. "There getting closer" I think to myself as I run faster....but where am I? What is this place? Walls tainted wth glass surrounding mostly everything. Blood smeared on the floors, like an asylum or rundown hospital. In the distance I hear a mans voice yell " come here hun, no ones gonna hurt you."  I stoped and noticed that I ran to a dead end. "I'm gonna die." I thought to myself, then suddenly a loud sound of metal hits the wall behind me, I jump in fright, Thinking if I trun around i'm oing to die. I took the risk... nothing was there...am I going insane? "There you are!." I turn around fast t see no one standing there "Who are you?! Where are you?" I yell. I feel a sharp pain through my chest as if someone just struck me, Nothings there.... I hear a loud alarm, My eyes open...I sat up quickly.. "It was just a dream." I said stroking my hair with fear. "Hurry up your going to be late." My mom screamed from downstairs. "IM COMING!." I screamed back. It's Friday May 10th...I quickly got up and got dressed for my first day at a new school. Yep I said new, I have moved 10 times in the last 3 months, I never really have friends nor boyfrinds but im hoping that will change, My names Amber Johnson, Im 17, I have long black hair with blonde highlights and green eyes, kinda skinny, people call me weird at my old school because I don't dress like them, I wear mostly black, but change it up accasionaly. I put on my converse and get my ackpack to go. "Bye hun, Love you." my mom said in a saddened tone, "I love you to mom." I said. My mom has always been sad ever since my step dad left when I was 8, I learned to live with it but she still hasn't. As I walk up to the doors of the school, people are staring at me as if I just killed someone, girls gave me dirty looks, and the boys just staired. A pretty young girl with short red hair and blueish gren eyes walked up to me. "Do you need any help?" She said in a cherful tone. "Yes actually, wheres the office?" I said.... "Oh come with me! I'll show you!" She said in an excited voice,as we walk through the halls she said "Oh and my names Cassidy."... "Thank you, and my names Amber."  she giggles "No problem, here it is, I gotta get to class so see you later." "Ok bye." I said in a strange tone.... I walk in the office and these two pople just stair at me.. "Hi." I said in an atrtitude. "Are you Amber Johnson?." The asked in a questionable tone. "Yes, are you my guide?".. "No, i'm the princible and this is my attendent."...'Nice to meet you?" I said. "Well heres your stuff now go!." They both said. "Umm? your not going to show me around??" They both laughed and said "NO why would we do that?..Ouukayy I said and walked out the door.. as I was walking out I was looking own at my paper and I ran into a guy, "Oh ghosh im sorry." I said. "Its ok, I wasnt looking." he said.He smiled at me and said I'm Cole Harmon, you? I'm Amber,I'm new..could you possibly show me to my class? I said in giggles. Yeah no problem, let me see your Schedule... You have first period with me, He smiled and said come with me. I walked with him and he told the teacher who I was, this one girl was giving me a dirty look ever since I walked in with Cole. "Maybe it's his girlfriend." I thought. The teacher told me to take a set and COle told me to sit next to him. I smiled at him and sat down. The girl was still giving me a dirty look, when class ended Cole walked me to all my classes and at lunch he offerd to sit ith me, but Cassidy also offerd so I sat with her. When I go home my mom was aslep on the couch, so I went up stairs and did work then took a shower. I layed down in bed, I picked up a book and started to read it, I slowly fell asleep, Again I was running, this time I was in my own house... I turned around on my stairs and there he was..the boy ive been hearing in my dreams.. He has short blonde hair and bright blue eyes, he was tall, skinny and he was just standing there. "Who are you?"... "I'm Damon."..."Why are you in my house?" "I can't leave.".. "Why?"... 'I have to go hes coming.."..."wait what!? ".. He diapered... I wake up and see a dark shadow standing over me, I scream and turn on the light.. Nothings there, I left on the light and fell back asleep. In the morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I walk down stairs, my mom had breakfast out and left a note that said "Getting food, Be home later, EAT THE FOOD!" Isit down and pick at my food.. I go to my room blast music and lay on my bed........I herd a knock on the door, so I turned off my music and went to see who was there. I opened the door to see Cole just standing there looking at me. "Hi." He said with a big grin on his face. "Umm, how do you know where I live?" I said with a creeped tone. "OH GOSH, this looks creepy dosnt it! I live across the street." He pointed to his house. "Oh, h, so what do you need?" I said with a scarcastic voice. "I was wondering if  you would like to come hang out with me and my friends?"... I paused for a min... and thought "Naw im good I dont think its my place.." "Come on, It will be fun, and I can show you around town." He said still smiling..."Fine,lets go." I said... We walk out the door to his house so he could get his stuff. "Well this is my house." He said in excitement, "It's nice."... "wanna come in?" "No thanks I'll wait."

Ten Min later......

Cole walks out with a backpack full of stuff. What is that stuff? I said in confusion. "I can't tell you its a secret." He smerked, and wallked off. "Ok then, i'm gonna get murderd." I thought. we were walking through woods,then he just stoped, he turned around and kissed me. I pushd him away "What the hell are you doing!? Don't you have a girlfriend?." I yelled. He smiled "No, why would you think that?" "Ummm becasue that one girl gave me dirty looks whenever im with with you." "You mean,Alyssa? Shes not my girlfrind, she wishes." "Why are we in the woods?"....."Because I wanted to show you this"...He took my had and wlked me to this tree house like thing, "Look" he pointed to a bored behind the house, it was spray painted art. "What is that?"..."It's my gulity pleasure, Just idding, I love art and I heard you did too...so I wanted to show you what we have in common"..."What is it supposed to be?" I asked. "Here stand right here and tilt your  head to the left."...I could see a girls face in tears." Thats amazing".."Thanks" He said with a smerk. "I should get home" He said in a sad tone. "I'll walk you" I said eagerly. When I was walking home I felt as if I was being watched, or ever stalked. I hurryed home, as soon as I got home my mom aksed where I was, I semply said "I was out to see the town" (She doesnt need to know the details) "Well dinner is ready" She said in a pissy tone. "I'm not hungry, im just gonna go up stairs and study"....."Fine, but if you get hungry theres food." "Ok mom".

1:45am

I still can't help to think that if I sleep I will see the shadow, maybe I could just rest my eyes, or even actually study. I put my head on my pillow and just passed out. I wake up and see Damon laying next to me, I scream and jump up. "Why the hell are you here?" I screamed. "I'm not here to hurt you, I need to help you.. He's coming."He said in a sad tone. "Help me what? and who? Tell me now." I demanded him to speak.... "His name is Adam, Adam Johnson, Hes going to try to kill you." "Is this a joke or something? Thats my dad, He died before I was born.".....He looked me in the eye and said."Hes coming back just for you, Did your mom ever tell you how he died?" "No she didn't tell me!".."I have to go"...He wispered but I'll be back. "NO wait..." Before I could get it all the way out of my mouth he was gone.

3:00am.

I still could not sleep, after what Damon siad I haven't even been close to sleepy. I wanted to go ask my mom why dad died, but then I thought it would break her..So I just layed in my bed until morning.

 I could hear little voices from downstairs..but they wernt my mothers, I slowly creeped down the stairs to see if anyone was there, no one was in sight. I went to go walk back upstairs until I heard "Dude she went back up stairs" "Ok lets go up." I stood there quietly and they ran up the stars until they notcied I was right there.. "What are you doing in my house?"
