Under The Shadows

Beginning of the mystery

He smiled, his sharp teeth flashed at me. Why did he have such sharp canines? And why are his eyes glowing? Am I imagining that or what? And I felt like as if he smelled me. Why would he do that? Overall, isn't that creepy? What the hell is wrong with him? Or is that me?

He then stares at me for a while, a stare that has some twisted story behind it. Oh look! Did it glow again? Shit! I think I am going mad! It was becoming hard to swallow. And my heart palpitation starts to exceed. Why am I feeling something different with this particular person? Oh dear god! What am I into? Or is this my brain malfunctioning?

"You better be a good girl and not speak a word about our short chit-chat, yeah?" he says. His iris going blue to dark blue in a very uncommon manner in a very fast pace. Now, that I did not imagine. Something is totally wrong. But what?

He smiles again. "See you around! " he says. I hesitantly nod my head.

What just happened? I could not breathe. He was gone and I shut the door immediately. I felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks. I try to stop them but my heart is racing very fast and his face keeps hovering in front of my eyes. I start to cry silently. I miss my dad.

"Kiara? Are you up?" I hear my mom's professionalised voice.

Should I be telling her about the incident? But what if she thinks I am lying? I bite my bottom lip. I get up and wipe my tears. I take a deep breath and try to control my flooding emotions. I then slowly open the door.

Standing in a coat with white fur and white pants with heels and jewellery I never would wear in my life, my mom is there with a professional smile on her lips. Everything about her is highlighted. Like she came out straight from a TV show! And as much I remember, she did not have those curves and perfect cheek bones last year, or did she? How come she become so attentive towards her body though? Is she a fitness freak? Wow! And she has that glow, as if she is shining, dazzling her surrounding. She looks perfect. A very beautiful creature I might never find. 

We have the same hazel eyes though, dad used to say often. I always thought he missed mom. Even then I look a lot like my dad. Then why did they separate? I don't know! Both of us have the same sharp kind of facial structure and straight teeth. I keep gazing her for too long and she gives me a questioning look with a tight smile. Oh god, is that the same type of canine I saw before? Stop thinking that Kiara!!

"It's cold outside, and since you do not have a car, Matthew will drop you to school. Okay?"

My eyes open wide. Matthew was the name of my step-dad. "It's okay. I can go on my own. How far is the school anyway?"

"You can't be going on your own Kiara! You are new here, what if you get yourself into trouble?"

"But mom..."

"I don't want any more discussion Kiara! Matthew will be dropping..."

"I will take her! I am going to the same school anyway! It will be easier if I take her." I hear Aiden Anderson, my half brother, shouting from far across the room.
