The Art Of Imprinting

Chapter 4

Today's the first day of 6th grade! I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. "Auntie Alice! It's the first day of school!" I shouted excitedly. My face fell, "oh no, It's the first day of school." 

"Auntie? Where are you!" I shouted.  From the back of the house I heard someone enter. Where was everyone? "Lillian, good morning." I spun around to the deep voice. I glared at him because of his comment yesterday, and then smiled. "Morning!" 

I skipped over to him, in my pajamas. Mommy must have changed me in my sleep. I gave him a big hug and walked into the kitchen. "Where is everyone?" I couldn't help but to notice how he had a grin on his face. "Oh, there out back talking to the pack. Nervous  about school?" He asked. 

I nodded looking in the cabinet. When I didn't see anything appetizing I went to the fridge and grabbed the orange fruit. "So you like cantelope's huh?" I gave him an innocent look. "Me? Never." I laughed at his expression. "You want anything?" He shrugged and I moved over so he could get into the fridge. I jumped in the chair and ate my fruit. 

"So which werewolf are you?" The thought about him turning into a wolf was really cool! "I'm the silver one. You don't care that I'm not human, like you?" I was about to answer when a sick feeling came over me. I slumped into my chair, and leaned over the table looking down as I was pulled into a vision. 

If a ghost was nearby, I could be swept up in a vision of how they died and trust me, it's not funny. 

"Haley, Nicole,  let's go play!" There was four girls that looked to be the same age as me. Two of the girls were identical twins and had dark brown hair with highlighted blond strips in it. They both had huge, puppy dog, brown eyes and they were swinging on a tire swing, surrounded by Forest. 

"Guys, my daddy says i'm not allowed to go into the woods. If he found out I was here, I would be in big trouble." Nicole said, sitting on the ground. She had blond hair and blue eyes. Haley snickered. Haley however, had a combination of Jet black, shoulder length hair, and bright greyish blue, stormy eyes. 

"If anyone's gonna be in big trouble it's gonna be Cassandra and Alexandra. They are the chiefs daughter's after all. Even though Chief Swan is nice, I'm pretty sure he would lock us up if we get caught here." Haley joked. 

"Come on guys! Let's go home. I'm cold and it's starting to rain again!" Nicole said while starting to walk away. I got a weird feeling and felt the need to follow her. Cassandra, Alexandra, and Haley were still at the tire swing, not making any motion of following her. 

I think Nicole is the ghost here. I followed her for what seemed like a couple minutes when I heard laughter. It was a sharp, shrill kind of laugh that made your bones want to melt off. 

"Who's there? Guys this isn't funny." Nicole said, stopping next to a tree. The laugh came again and I got a cold chill down my spine. "Oh look, a snack." A woman with bright red hair and red eyes appeared. She was oddly pale and I immediately knew she was a vampire. "This will only hurt a bit." Within a flash she was in front of Nicole. I screamed.

"Lillian!" Paul yelled at me. I blinked my eyes and my throat felt raw. I looked around to see  everyone in the kitchen, including Sam and Jared. I didn't realize I had been crying until Paul came over and hugged me.
