Chapter 1: Stella

STELLA

While I walked carelessly down the deserted road towards my house, I had a feeling in my stomach as if I had butterflies in it. I don’t know why, because I had nothing planned. But I felt very nervous to walk through my front door. It was a warm day, so I was wearing my blue V-neck t-shirt and my black skinny jeans with my guitar on my back and my long red hair in a pony. My fringe was way too long to be classed as a full fringe anymore, so I swept it to the side which made it look acceptable.

I walked up to my door and shook my head. What was I worried about? Walking in, I was greeted by my baby, my Siberian husky, Meeko. I grinned at him and scratched his head, just in the right place. I placed my guitar down in the hall and walked into the kitchen where my mum was.

“Hey mum” I smiled, walking over to the fridge to get some flavoured water. She was looking at a piece of paper when I walked in.

“Hey sweetie” she smiled back, but I knew she was hiding something because she had that nervous lip-biting habit. I also inherited that, but unfortunately it also made it harder to lie when I have to.

“What you got there?” I asked, sitting opposite her at the table. She looked back down at the paper with black text on it and pushed it over to me. I looked down at and starting reading immediately.

Dear my dear daughter, Stella.

You may not remember me sweetie, but I want you to know I love you very much! By the time you read this, you are now old enough to handle things independently. I want you to move to the place I grew up when I was your age, and where I met your mother. She will explain what you need to know. It may have come on all of a sudden but your mother and I wanted to protect you from what lies ahead of you. We are very proud of you, Stella. Never forget that I love you and always will. I know you can handle what is about to come around the corner for you. Please don’t blame your mother for this, it isn’t her fault, it’s mine. I am very sorry sweetheart; you are doing us very proud. I love you.

With love, your daddy. Xx

I looked up at mum, noticing the tears in her eyes. I was so confused… re-reading the letter over again a couple of times, trying to let it sink in; I felt a head lean on my legs. Meeko. “Do I have to go?” I asked mum, stroking Meeko’s head. Mum sighed and stood up from the table, pacing the room.

“We would rather you go sweetie. It’s much safer. It will protect you” she replied, looking at me with pained eyes. I didn’t like that at all.

“Protect me from what exactly? You aren’t going to tell me you and dad were spies, and now an evil bad guy is after me are you?” I said light-heartedly, trying to make her smile. I smiled with success as she laughed and sat back down at the table again.

“No, not quite. We need you to move to this special place where your dad was raised.” She explained, trying to find the right words. “I can’t tell you too much because you need to learn it by yourself. But, you aren’t like other people. This place we want you to go, everyone is like you.”

“Who are you trying to protect me from? What am I? Where do I have to go?” I asked, so many questions running through my mind. My mum smiled weakly.

“I told you, you have to find this out for yourself. But I have something for you” Mum said, standing up. “Come with me” I followed her into the dining room and she went over to the cabinet that didn’t have any interest to me when I was growing up. My mum brought out a rectangular brown wooden box and placed it on the dining room table. It had a small key hole to open it, and I watched my mum unlatch her necklace that she had on around her neck and she placed the key charm into the hole. With a click, it opened and I looked in eagerly. My mum brought out a small velvet pouch and gave it to me. “Wear this around your neck when you are there, and people will know who you are. They’ll most probably answer your questions. I can’t because your dad wouldn’t tell me them, to protect me as well”
