Clara Anderson stepped into her new apartment. She felt like a massive weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Clara threw her backpack into one of the boxes, sighed, and started painting the living room in dark red. She was utterly relieved to just get away from the past and start a new life.
*Flashback*
11 year old Clara's eyes shot open as she heard a scream come from downstairs. She tiptoed down as fast as she could, and peeked through a tiny crack in the door. She saw a man in baggy clothes, with tar black greasy hair, and looked like he had been in the streets for months, even years. "Pick up the knife and then follow me." He said in a stern voice to her 16 year old brother. She watched him grab the knife with a blank face. She closed her eyes, her whole body paralysed in fear. The screams made her ears ring and her whole brain go numb as she slid down the wall, crying for her mother and father, whilst hatred would grow inside for years for that man and her brother.
Once she had finished painting the living room, she looked out of the window and was about to look back when, she saw someone. She saw something. A flash of lightning passed her block in the blink of an eye. She carried on staring at that spot, as if to expect it to come back. The supernatural image played over and over in her head, like a film. She walked over to the couch and pulled her laptop out of the box, placed it on her knee, and began searching every corner of the web for this vigilante. She came across a web page made by a person called Iris West. She recognised the name as soon as her eyes set on it. The girl, Iris, used to be her best friend. Maybe she knew of this man..
The Flash.
Author's Note:
Hi guys! This chapter was just introducing Clara, but I'm not sure if I will change it or not because I am not so happy with it. From now on, anyway, I am going to be doing it in the characters point of view. I have been having massive writers block thinking of how to start it, but, I hope you will like the story!
