Black as Coal

Prologue

I wake up in a stone cold building with chains holding me down.
How did I get here? Where am I? What happened? I question myself.

I pull on the chains on my wrists.

"Dammit!" They won't budge.

I look around the room and spot an outline of someone sitting in the corner; Covered by a shadow so I can't see their face.

"Who are you and what am I doing here? Let me out!" I yell out in a feverishly fast pace.

They move into the light.....

Hey! I should maybe introduce myself before you get reading more about my story.

My name is Evalina. Evalina Barker. I am 19 years old and I have bright ginger hair with ambery eyes, so I'm told. (I think their hazel) and I work at Summerhill Primary school as a teacher for P4's which is right next to were I live in 13 Morte Park. Haha funny how my house number is the dreaded unlucky number 13 and that Morte means death in Italian! What I love about living here is that just down the road there is my favourite pizza place and a small park for children and their parents to play in.

Oh well, not much luck living on 13 "Death" Park is there? But anyway I love it here, it is nice and peaceful and you don't have to worry about making it home safe at night *winks*

I live on my own, if you don't count my bird and dog; Erik and Harvey. (Erik is actually a girl but I didn't know that when I got her). Harvey is a long haired Chihuahua with white and brown fur, the brown parts are on his face around his eyes and goes down the back of his head and splits in the middle he also has to patches on either side of his body. Erik is an African Grey. She has different shades of grey all over, a black beak and a bright red tail.

Well there is a little bit about me. Now back to what I wanted to tell you about. This is about when my little piece of heaven all came crashing down.

Hello, personally I don't really like reading these notes as I rather just get to the next chapter, so I will only write one if I have to.

This is my first book on Wattpad so I am open to suggestions for anything you want me to include or write in another book. I will try my hardest to upload a chapter every fortnight or at least every month or two. If you are waiting for a new chapter I know it sucks as I hate it too but these next couple years of my life are very important but if I don't start writing this now I never will. I will upload more in the summer once everything has calmed down but until then this will have to do.

Also sorry about the way that I might write and that it is not proper 'English'. I live in Northern Ireland so I am going to make a few characters talk in the way I do at home. If many of you do not like it, find the humor or sayings strange and don't really get what the characters mean then I will change the book to proper English without the Norn' Irish twist to it.

So I hope you enjoy and I will talk to you later.
