Chapter 1

This story is not a very bright story, most people hate sad endings. Which this story definitely does not have a end, at least not yet. It starts with a girl named Dotty Woods, I think you will find her story very interesting. It all started in a house when she was six years old she was a sickly child and missed a lot of school. So Dotty's parents decided to home school her, she was very good at learning things. Kept A's and B's but what do you expect from a child who has been homeschooled. I previously said she is sickly, which is true but not the kind of sick you think. What I mean is she sees things, not normal things. She sees things that will give you nightmares during the day and night. She is 16 now and her parents have no choice but to send her to a normal school. Oh, and I'm not going to be telling this story you will read this story looking into her point of view. You will know everything she feels and what she sees, so let's get started.

I stumble from my room and into the dark hallway, clutching the wall and grabbing my pill bottle. I take a pill and quietly go to bed and try to sleep the pain away. Hours later I sit up in my bed feeling those eyes on me. A voice says "good you're awake I've been waiting, how dare you keep me waiting like that Dottie." I look down and say, "I'm sorry Esther." He comes closer rapping his long tail around me and squeezing, I cry out in pain pleading him to stop. His tail recoils and he stalks back into the darkness his monstrous eyes, looking at me like I'm a meal that he is longing to taste. I didn't sleep that night, instead I stayed in my bed until my parents came in to get me. "Dottie we have some unsettling news." I peeked up from my covers and asked "What?" They frowned "We are being forced to send you to normal school." I smiled and said, "Finally. When do I start?" They looked at each other and answered, "Today," I jumped out of bed "What!? I need to get dressed!" My mom pulled a uniform out of her purse and handed it to me, I looked at her and the uniform and said "The public school doesn't do uniforms." "No but the private school called Sunset Academy does." I took the clothes from her hands and they walked away leaving me alone to get dressed. I took my clothes off and slipped my bra and underwear on, then I heard a noise behind me. A tail wrapped very gently around me and pulled me up against what was behind me. I pulled free looking at Esther and yelled, "Stop!" Esther laughed then said, "Oh I love it when you get mad, it's adorable." And as he said it his tail caressed my face, causing me to yank away. I finished getting dressed and went downstairs to go to school, but my parents sent me back up and said, "Sweetie, you need to pack everything you need, you will be staying in the dorms there." I walked up to my room and grabbed my suitcases packing everything except for my bed and dresser. I walked back downstairs, got in the car, and left to my new school and what will be a new life. I got out of the car and waved goodbye to my parents, and gazed at the school it was amazing.
