The Awaken

My new home.

The next morning the security guard of the police station said, she would be taking me to fetch my brother. We got in the car, it was silent besides the radio playing some 80's jams.

We got arrived by my aunts house I rang the bell and as soon as the door open I saw my brother, Tate, run up to me shuved his head in my cheast and started crying. I hugged him as tight as a could but I didn't cry. I didn't want him to see me in that state.

I told him that we have to leave or we will miss our flight, I started to think that was his intentions. We said our good byes and left .

The airport was empty, we got assigned to our plane and the flight attentent showed our seats. Moving all the way from South Africa to America , what a big adjustment. A 14 hour flight its going to be a long flight.

*14 hours later*

We landed and we got out luggage and waited in the waiting room. I felt something on my shoulder. I turned to see a tall,blonde, fair skinned lady resting her hand on my shoulder. She smelt like raspberries. She asked if we are the Parker children, I nodded .

She introduced herself as Mrs Lockwood and her daughter Kelly. I think Kelly was round about my age (16) , and her son Ryan he was a year older than Tate I think he was 8 years old.

They helped carry our bags to the car. I thanked them for being so generous for taking us in.

They seemed happy, just like my family was before the muder. Kelly was singing along to One Direction and Ryan was showing Tate some of his toys in the car.

We arrived at their house or should I say my house, it was stunning and the neighborhood was beautiful. One thing caught my attention though, a boy in the house next door sitting in the garden reading a book.

I got out the car standing with my bags in my hand just looking around, I thought to myself even the air smells different but I'm sure that was just in my head. I walked to the front door and Mr Lockwood opened and hugged me, he welcomed me and showed me my room were I'd be sleeping.

They brought my bags in and told me dinner is at 6:30. I went into my brother new room , his sharing a room with Ryan. I helped him pack his things away and told him everything is going to alright as long as I'm with him.

I walked back to my room and started packing my clothes in the wardrobe. Singing along to the music on my new phone the program gave me. I walked up to the window to open it, only to see that boy again. This time he caught me looking and smiled at me, I smiled back.

Kelly came into my room and saw me looking at that boy outside the window and said that dinner is ready and gave me a really nasty look.

I walked downstairs to see the dinning room table was neatly set and the food smelt good. Mrs Lockwood told me I could take a seat, I sat the the nearest chair. Kelly tapped me on my shoulder and said that's my seat , I said I was sorry and got up but Mr Lockwood demanded I stay seated and Kelly to sit on another seat.

After dinner I thanked them for everything and I got in the shower a few minutes after dinner. I got out the shower and walked to my room , I done my night routine and went to go say goodnight to Tate.

I walked back to my room got in bed and thought about that boy. I didn't even know his name. I was reading through my new identity file. I'd have to introduce myself as Ashley to the people at my school. But thank God it was only Saturday Night.
