Prologue

In the back seat of my parents' car unaware of where we are going isn't the best thing really. I mean you would've thought they'd tell me where we are going considering I have to live there to. Ugh they can be so frustrating sometimes.

So there I am staring out of the car window on my side watching as cities, towns, villages and fields go by. I don't even know which country I'm in because I fell asleep in the airplane and for most of this car ride. You know that saying 'ignorance is bliss'? Well I'm not feeling it right now.

The only thing I know is that we have just left our house in Canada, well at least I won't be freezing my butt off each time I leave the house which is a good few points to wherever this place will be.

About 3 hours later we pass a sign saying 'Welcome to South Carolina'. I tried not to gasp as I realised we were in America. I haven't been to America since we were in Utah about 10 years ago; though I don't really remember much cause I was 6 at the time. As if they were reading my mind my parents chuckled and my dad said;

"Yes we are in America. Have you been alright Beth you've been sleeping a hell-of-a lot since we started out this morning?" he said with a mischievous smile plastered on his face. "Anyway it's been a good thing though we have wanted to surprise you with where we are going to be staying and well its worked hasn't it?" I turned my gaze from the scene outside the window to my dad's eyes in the rear view mirror. I was positive I was gaping at him as I nodded my head in agreement.

My mom just kept giggling and smirking at me as if she knew something I didn't. This should be fun. I decided to go to sleep so that I couldn't hear my mom giggling like a 5 year old; I mean it was seriously getting annoying.

It felt like we were on the road for hours but it probably wasn't. Anyway, I got nudged back into reality as the car stopped dead; I think I nearly flew out of my chair. Thank God for seat belts.

"We're here!" my mom practically sang with an excited look on her face.

It was dark by now so I couldn't really see much; all I could see was a big exterior and the double garage we were parked in front of.

"Uh where are we?" I half heartedly asked not really interested but thought I should show a bit of interest

"This, my dear, is our new home." My dad said proudly.
