Into the Shadows (Raura Fanfic) {Book one of the Shadow series}

The bedroom door came open with a creak, revealing Laura's hot pink, girly room. 

Occasionally, she had to admit she'd overdone it just a little. The walls were a glittery pink, and the bedspread, Hot pink with light pink polka dots. 

There were a furry pink pillows on top of the others on her neat bed. 

Her room was very organized, not a thing out of place, despite the typical girly look to it. 

Though, It didn't matter to her because of how sheltered she was from life. The only boy that had ever been in her room was her one and only friend, RIker Lutz. 

They were really close, The only boy-- Or anyone, Vanessa would let Laura be around. She trusted him and Laura never understood why, though she wasn't complaining. 

In a couple of days Laura would be 17, which she was pretty ecstatic about. One more yar and she'd be finally be free. 

Laura fell back in a comfortable position on her bed, in a daze about her future. She couldn't wait to go to college, meet someone perfect for her, have kids and everything would be just as she imagined. 

She didn't't have a specific dream guy. Whenever she'd fall asleep thinking about it, she'd have dreams where it was RIker, but would quickly dismiss them from her mind once she woke up.

RIker wasn't possibly even close the being the one. It'd be... weird. 

Laura closed her eyes for a few minutes before Vanessa appeared in the doorway, knocking on the door frame to catch her attention. 

Laura's eyes shot open and she looked dazedly at her sister. 

"Riker's waiting for you downstairs." She said, leaning against the door frame. Laura hopped out of bed, walking over to her closet. 

"Tell him I'll be down in a minute." Laura said, looking for her favorite faded black jean jacket. 

Vanessa vanished down the hallway, the click of her heels getting distant. 

Laura let out a sigh, as she found it, pulling it over her hot pink tank top- Yes, she did very much enjoy that color. 

Her jacket matched her jeans perfectly. 

She rushed down the stairs to find Riker, sitting on the living room couch in a blue plaid, button-up shirt and jeans. 

He looked up once he noticed Laura coming towards him, and gave one of his famous award-winning smiles that she just loved. 

"Ready to go?" He asked, holding out his hand. Laura blushed slightly and looked down to hide it. 

It would just give him the wrong idea. 

"Of course. "She replied, taking his hand as they exited the house. Vanessa shouted something about Laura's curfew on their way out, but Laura didn't bother listening.

The commercials seemed never ending as Laura and Riker sat comfortably in the back at of the theatre, waiting for Frozen to start.

They had been sitting there for quite a while, half of the snacks the bought already nearly gone. The screen went black for a couple of seconds and Laura got excited, thinking the movie was about to start. 

Then disappointment struck when it was just another comercial. She sighed and turned to RIker, who was already looking at her. 

"I-I'm going to go outside for a few minutes, It-It's kind of stuffy in here." She explained, coming up with an excuse to leave for a few minutes. 

"Come and get me if the movie's about to start." She finishes and gets up before he can even reply. 

The minute she made it outside, leaning against the wall, taking deep breaths, she felt herself start to feel calm. 

The way Riker looks at her lately, though she never mentions it, kind of scares her. He looks at her not in a sisterly way, but in a way that's like he's taking in every feature she has, like he's in love with her.

His hand occasionally brushed her during the commercials, making her nervous.

She's never been with a guy before. And she wants her first time for everything to give her that.. feeling, where there's always a..spark between them.

She didn't feel that with Riker. Sometimes she wishes she would. 

She closed her eyes, drifting off into other thoughts, when suddenly a low growling noise came from the alley right next to where she was standing and she tensed up, peeking into it. 

Then suddenly, something sprang on her.
