2: Jaymn Hutton

I wasn't always this way. I used to be normal noticed. It was years ago, but even now as I watch my hand disappear and reappear I still think in awe and horror at how this happened to me.

~*~

Lennox and I were walking home from school after staying hours to finish a project. It was late, the sun just slipping past the horizon and in a matter of minutes it was practically pitch black. We headed off for the woods in hope of taking the short cut to get home faster, and slipped into the dense foirrest.

I felt my foot catch against a stump and much to my amazement, I fell. I could feel bruises forming on my knees, and I had tripped many times before this, and my hands hurt from all the falls.

A small chuckle escaped from Lennox as I felt him pull me back up. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . for the sixth time.

"You really should be more careful," he said a hint of playfulness in his voice.

"Well what do you expect from a 14 year old girl....... we get super crazy at this stage," I said as I attempted to walk again, tripping once more in the process.

We both laughed for a minute, making the dead forest seem alive. I lifted my head up off getting ready to push myself off the ground, but only to meet a pair of yellow hunter eyes. I withheld a scream in fear of waking up more.

"Lennox......" I whispered, slowly standing up, not daring to take my eyes of it.

"Huh," He said, as I could faintly see him look up before his face went blank.

"Jaymn," he said firmly, "Run,"

We took off running and more yellow eyes opened. Creaks and groans of metal screams followed after us as we were hunted. I tripped again and felt one grab my leg, its metal nails digging into my flesh. I let out a scream as Lennox pulled me up, kicking the freaks head back. He half ran half carried me off and we scrambled for our lives. When we broke free of the dense woods, we were breathing heavily and I couldn't help but wince in pain.

"Jaymn your leg," Lennox said as he kneeled down to examine my wound.

"No I'm okay. I'm fine," I said ans I bite my lip to keep from crying.

This might be too painful to walk on.

He smiled at me, almost knowing exactly what I was thinking, as he picked me up and carried me the rest of the way home.

It wasn't until the next morning when I went to school that I had realized I wasn't the same.

Janette Walings... . A low life jerk who never helped in makings my life easier. She was walking my way and knowing that she would say something to plummet myself esteem I ran and hid int eh bathroom praying that I would be invisible to her for once.

Please........

I ran into a stall, and hid behind the door.

Please.........

I Heard the door creak open and her heels click against the ground. She came into each stall one by one, looking for me.

Please.... I begged one more time.

She pooped her head into my stall and looked around, her eyes never settled on me.

"Hmm...... I guess she went the other way." She said to herself as she turned around and left without acknowledging me.

With furrowed brows I walked out of the stall and glanced in the mirror.

There was no one there.

I turned to keep walking until I realized there was no one there!

I ran back to the mirror and let out a shrill scream.

I'M INVISIBLE!?!
