Uniting Kingdoms

Chapter 1

I woke up in a puddle of sweat again. Ever since my dad and me moved to Whiting Hill, Georgia.I've been having the same dream of this dark figure lurking in the shadows just waiting for me to be alone and unaware that it is there.

I laid in bed starring at the clock there was still three hours until I had to get up and start at my new school Whiting Hill High.

It's not like I'm worried about it. Thanks to dad's job I never stay in one school too long. In fact I can't even remember the last time I had any real friends. Every time I would start making any dad would get moved to a different location.

After lying in bed thinking for what seemed like I hours I finally decided to get up and go take a shower. No use in trying to go back to sleep I knew the nightmare would just happen again.

I went into the bathroom. I still wasn't used to how small it was compared to the one I had in the house before this. In fact this entire house could fit in the living room of the old one I bet.

Dad said we wouldn't be in this house for long but to get used to the town and school because he doesn't plan on moving us again. Of course I laughed and said sure. He always said that every single time we've moved. The only difference this time was he said that he meant it and felt bad about making us move around so much. It mad me feel bad too. Ever since mom died it's been hard on both of us but somehow we managed to make it OKAY on our own.

I turned the water to the shower on and fixed the temperature until it was just right. I took the shirt dad let me borrow to sleep in since all my clothes weren't out of boxes yet and set it on the sink counter along with everything else I had on.

The water felt nice cleaning all the sweat of my skin. I grabbed the shampoo and conditioner washed my hair and got out. I forgot a towel. I hope dad isn't up yet.

I peeked out of the bathroom door. Good he was still asleep. Grabbing his shirt I wrapped it around me the best I could and then bolted to my room and slammed the door behind me.

" Caroline, baby, it's time to get up and get ready for your first day at school" dad yelled from the kitchen.

I had already been up and ready so I just grabbed my bag and ran into the kitchen.

" Morning daddy, did you have a good nights sleep?" I asked.

"I wouldn't say it was a goods nights sleep Care, but it was OKAY. How did you sleep last night?" dad replied.

Should I lie and say I sleep like I was floating in the clouds or do I tell him about my nightmares. Then again maybe he already knows
but just doesn't want me to know.

" I had a perfects night sleep" I lied.

" If that's true then why were you up so early?" he questioned.

" Oh, you know I was just so excited about school today I couldn't sleep any longer!" I said sarcastically.

Dad laughed and said " I knew it!"

"You always do" I said,"now how am I get to school. I have to be there in 20 minutes!"

"Care have you ever not had a way to school?" dad asked.

"No" I replied.Dad could be so annoying sometimes.

"Exactly, now then let's go that way your not late on your first day." Dad laughed.
