The Deception - A Secret Circle Fan Fiction

Chapter 1

So, I decided to completely rewrite the first chapter, so here it is :D

Hope you like it so far and let me know if you want me to continue.

Chapter 1

One would think my parents enjoyed ruining my life. They were making me move for the third time in five years. Different state, different town, different school... different everything... 

My life had been this way for as long as I could remember. We just moved and that was that. I got no say in it. No explanation. Just the same pointless response. This move is for the best. 

But how was repeatedly uprooting my life for the best? I just didn't understand how my parents could do this to me.  

After moving so many times in sixteen years you'd think I'd be used to people staring at me because I was the new kid in town. Or I'd be used to having no friends because I moved before I had time to make any. But who could ever get used to that? 

Yet, this was my life. Do what I was told, do what I was told and just do what I was told. I was sixteen, a straight-A student, I was taking several AP classes, I'd had several part-time jobs, I'd passed my driving test first time and my parents still controlled my life. I'd proven how trustworthy and grownup I was and still nothing.  

I wasn't conceited or vain but I knew I was pretty with my long auburn hair, my pale skin, and my bright blue eyes. I was petite at only five foot two and slender. I was outgoing, spontaneous, a little sarcastic and at times a bit insane. I sang in public and laughed when no one else did.  

I didn't follow trends, I didn't want to impress anyone, I was just me. With my heavy black makeup, multiple coloured streaks in my hair and my pierced nose. Not quite goth, not exactly emo, I was just Hadley.  

So, here I was again. Bedroom empty, car packed, sitting in my dad's old blue Chevy ready for another long journey.  

However this time, my parents weren't coming with me. I was moving back to Chance Harbor, Washington, the town I had been born in. The town my parents had been avoiding for sixteen years. And now they were sending me back there to live with my older brother Ethan Conant and my nephew Adam. 

But why did they suddenly want to send me to a town they had so determinedly kept me away from?  

I knew my parents were keeping secrets from me. I'd known for several months now... I knew my family came from a long line of witches, the book I'd found told me so.  

Then why had my parents never told me? I'd wanted to ask them more, to confront them, but a part of me was scared. They had successfully kept this secret for sixteen years. Why would they want me to know about it now?  

This is the right thing for you. You need to figure out who you are and what you're part of. That was the last thing they had said to me before I'd drove away. I guessed it had something to do with our lineage. And that made me wonder, did my parent's know I'd found the book?  

But if they did know, then why hadn't they said anything? What was I part of anyway? Were there more people like me? Did Adam know? I had so many questions and no one to answer them.  

I pulled up outside my brother's bar and sighed. The last time I'd been here was Christmas almost three years ago. It was a strange feeling being back, I almost felt like an intruder. I hadn't seen my family for three years and now I was expected to live with them.  

I wasn't exactly close to Adam or Ethan, and not surprising, I'd only spent a few weeks each summer and Christmas with them. This was going to be weird.
