Lovely Treasures

~Chapter 1~

--Riley's p.o.v.--

I hate this new town. It's so different from my old town in New York! New York was normally cool and cloudy; where as Texas is hot and sunny. Conner my dad said that he had important business to attend to here and that this "place" would permanently be our home. Ugh.!!

The house is fine, it's just I had to move all the way out here for something I know nothing about, and now I have to start all over. A new school, new friends (if I make any), a new everything!

When I start unpacking my last box I feel like someone's watching me. Gah.!! I wish whoever's watching me would leave me alone.! I've yelled and bickered with whoever's there to leave me alone, but the results are always the same. Call me paranoid but I swear... When I feel their eyes watching me the hairs on he back of my neck stand on end and I get goose bumps on my arms and chest. I can't tell Connor or Lexi because they'd probably think I was crazy or just asking for attention.

Once the last of my clothes I put the sheets and cover on my bed.

Where are my pillows.?

"Ma!! Have you seen my pillows.?" I yell.

"Um, have you checked the truck.?" She yells back.

"Nah, but I will."

"Ok but Ry can you come here for a second.? We need to talk to you about something important," Lexi says in a calm voice.

"Ok," I reply suspiciously.

When I walk into the living room where the couch and tv is I notice Lexi and Connor sitting calmly o the couch looking at me with piercing eyes.

"Honey, we need you to keep an open Ming when we tell you this, ok.?" Conner says.

"Uhhhhh. Ok, what's up?" I say with a racing heart.

" We meant to tell you earlier but we didn't think it was the right time, and since your turning 18 in three days we thought you should know... You adopted and you blood parents want to met you." Lexi says.

Have you ever felt like a little price of you shattered and all you wanted to do was curl up into a ball and cry but you didn't.?

"Uhh wow... I think I just need a little space. I'm going to get my pillows."

"Ok Hun. Were here, we'll always be here." Conner says.

On my way to the truck I here crunch like twigs snapping coming from the woods to my left. I quicken my pace and as soon and I reach the truck handle a large hand covers my mouth and a different hand wraps around my trough.

"Hello, oh I've been waiting for this moment for years. Finally

The princess is back." the man says.

I bring up my foot and slam it into the huge mans shin. he grunts but his grip doesn't loosen.

He squeezes my neck harder black spots start to cloud my vision and my airways are blocked off.

All of the sudden the big man is swung off of the and now laid on the ground in a crumpled hep with a tall man standing over him.

"He's coming for you princess." the man says before passing out.

Uh oh....

The tall man turns around and looks me in the eyes. I gasp as I get a good look at him.

"Y-y-your the man from my dreams. The man with the shiny white wings...." I say as I faid into oblivion the last thing I here is "I'll be watching you."
