Chapter twenty two

It's been a hand full of weeks since my father died, in fact it was now April twenty second. I returned to school a week after the funeral, and it seemed I had gotten the attention of all of my "friends" who didn't come to the funeral and certainly didn't even know my dad's name. The only one who actually shown up, and was a friend of mine since about three years old, Garret Thomason, the "unbelievingly hot," as the other girls put it, football quarterback. I never even saw him as cute, me and him where more like a brother sister relationship.

I was at my locker putting my books into their usual spot. I looked over as Garret appeared next to me, opening his locker himself. "Hey Clara." He said looking over to me with that smile on his face that reminded me of our childhood. "You doing okay?" He asked as he slid his books into his own locker.

"Ya, just a little difficult." I said as I pulled different books and pencils from my locker. "I don't mind the change in living aramgements, but the fact that my dad isn't here-" I stopped talking and fought off the tears.

"I understand." He said, then looking over, he saw my mom's necklace around my neck. "Hey, haven't seen that in a while." He said, trying to change the conversation. I was greatful, he knew I wasn't as sad about my mom going missing any more. "Haven't seen that thing in like what, seven or eight years!" He laughed and shut his locker at the same time I shut mine.

"Ya, it was in a letter from my dad." I said shrugging and twiddling with the ruby and silver heart that rested just below my collar bone. "I can't believe he had it, I thought my mom wore it that night." I said before shrugging, then Garret got pulled away by all of his football friends, which I had known since about kindergarten.

I started walking down the hallway, winding up alone after everyone filtered into their classes. I stood there with my books in one hand, and my fingers playing with the necklace in the other. Sighing, I held it in my hand and something flashed in front of my eyes, a series of images I couldn't comprehend. Aro, my mom, and me. My mom faded and Aro grabbed my shoulders. His menacing blood red eyes where no longer that crimson color that I had grown to find terror in, it was the more terrifying and hungry black eyes.

I let go of the necklace as fast as I could and ran out of the school to the picnic tables where no windows in the entire school could see, threw my books down, and took the necklace off. After I had successfully taken the necklace off and set it down, I did one of the dumbest and most insane things I ever done. I yelled at a necklace.

After probably ten minutes of yelling at the necklace, I sat down and took a ration approach. "Aro said my mom had powers. This could have been part of her powers and she left a warning for me." I said as I tried and piece it together. "Or that could just be stress about my upcoming exams and all of this on my shoulders, junior year is suppose to be make it or break it." I said, trying to not sound insane. "Stress, ya... stress." I took a few deep breaths and stood back up, put my necklace back on, and just as I turned around...
