Chapter One

                                             Anastasia Belle C. was born into a rich family. She was raised to be intelligent; She was. She wanted to be witty; She was. She was in all ways exactly above average, and she was only 6. Sadly this didn't last. Exactly three months before her seventh birthday her parents died. Anastasia was sent to live with her uncle in america.  A day after arriving in america she celebrated her birthday by moving into her uncles home.  Her uncle's name was Uncle Alexander ,but, he isn't a very important character ; his son ,Johnathan , was a much more crucial character as he was three years older than Anastasia and was almost immediately her best friend in this new place she found herself in.  They became a practically inseparable duo of mischief within a year .They also became somewhat "star kids" in the community with their acting and musical talents.   Their early years were spent reading, preforming and causing a little  mayhem.  In all ways they considered each other siblings and best friends. They were. From all the stories of her childhood the most critical was when Johnathan and Anastasia stole from their grandfather who was visiting. You see Anastasia's mother had always worn a gold chain necklace with a small heart shaped pendant at the end;she was buried wearing it. Her grandfather had a similar one . She wanted it very much. So she told Johnathan.

                             "Anastasia, Grandfather doesn't take kindly to thievery; he's made that very clear to me" he responded.

"He's never worn it and it has no value to him as he has many more of the same kind.I'm only borrowing it to see how I look while wearing it. " 

"I will make you a plan but you're doing it alone" He gave in

                                                 That night Anastasia went through with the plan . Sneaking quietly up the stares, creaking open the door to the guest bedroom and slipping the necklace off the dresser onto her own neck. She rushed to the bathroom to see herself. She thought it looked rather nice. Anastasia's fatal mistake was falling asleep without returning the necklace to it rightful spot on the dresser.

                                              As the sun rose Anastasia woke seemingly before anyone else and sat contently in wait. After a good few moments she realized her mistake and in a frenzied hurry ran upstairs with necklace in hand only to be greeted by the bewildered face of her grandfather. His bewilderment quickly faded to anger as he notice the necklace. After a long time of yelling at her and then Uncle Alexander ,as he would not have his niece yelled at while in his care, he packed his things and left swearing he "won't return until the orphan is taught manners". Both Anastasia and Alexander learned a great deal of lessons from this. Not Johnathan though.

                                                                       ********************

                                             When Anastasia was fourteen things began to change; Johnathan became distant and paranoid.Alexander became fatally ill and she had found a boy she thought she was in love with. She wasn't . His name was Marcus .He had black hair that that curled slightly at the tips ,green eyes and freckles. He was in choir and became a sort of rock for Anastasia. He noticed how she'd doodle crowns on her math homework and she noticed how he tapped his fingers when he was bored.They were cute and great together. 

                                                It was two minutes after school. Anastasia and Marcus were riding their bikes to the library; Johnathan used to come with them but he had stopped almost a year ago.  It's important to note these two were good kids. They had a lot of love in their hearts and hope in their heads (for the most part) ,but, they are not a tragedy they are a story. I guess that's somewhat up to you though. 

                                                   "Is Johnathan OK?"  Marcus asked

"I don't know, really....we haven't talked much recently" she replied glumly

"Maybe he's just stressed with almost being an adult and such"He tried to reassure her

"I .....don't really think so" she mumbled

                                              They arrived at the library and began to separately look for books as they had different interests.Anastasia looked through the non fiction section because she wanted to get a book about astronomy. Marcus looked through the classics to see if anything caught his attention. They eventually each found something and sat down together to read it before they borrowed it. Anastasia was thinking the book was nice but didn't seem to have answered her question yet , she decided on borrowing it. Marcus wasn't quite decided so she went ahead planning to come back and wait on him.

                                            As she came up she "overheard" some people from her cousins grade talking about his grades contradicting his personality,but, all she caught clearly was great grades but he's so quiet; so she went on about her business and sat back down with Marcus.
