Immortal

Chapter 1 ( Tragety strikes)

My life. My life is so messed up right now. By the way, my name is Crimson Rose. I'm seventeen, my parents are dead and I have a stepmom. She tries her hardest to get close to me and she is the kindest person to me right now, but I keep pushing her away.

When my parents died, they owned a mall, so when they pasted it went down to the next in line, which happens to be me. Lucky me.Anyway, I wake to sun shining through my bedroom window.

I look around and see a tray of pancakes with syrup and butter sitting on my nightstand. A note was laid beside it. It read "Dear Crimson, I hope you enjoy your breakfast, Love Katie." I sigh, she always does this , I don't understand, she treats me like her own daughter.

I sit up and walk to my closet. I grab a blue t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers. I go into the bathroom and change. I comb my blue hair and brush my teeth.You wouldn't believe this but, my blue hair is my natural color.

I am the only one in my family that has blue hair and violet eyes. I walk out of the bathroom and sit down and start to eat. When I'm finished, I grabbed the plate and headed downstairs. As soon as I get downstairs, I walk into the kitchen.

I put my plate into the sink and start to wash the dishes. I feel someone behind me, I turn around and see Katie. "Good morning sweaty." She says. "Hello Kate, thanks for breakfast, you didn't have too." Of course I did, I'm your stepmom."

I sigh and finish the dishes. I then go back upstairs and as soon as I do, my phone rings. I pick it up and say "Hello?" Hey we're having a party later, do you want to come?" Who are you?" I reply. "Never mind that, just come to 1916 West Point main." The he hangs up. I turn off my phone confused.

The only other person who knows my number is Katie. And if anyone else did, they wouldn't call me anyway. I sigh and think to myself "We'll looks like I'm going later." Then I get a text message. It says come to the party at seven o'clock.

I groan and turn my phone completely off. If you don' t know me, I'm not a very social person. I look through my closet and find my aqua blue dress. I hang it on my door hanger and search for my silver heels.

I find them and set them under the dress. I look at the clock and see that it's four-thirty. "Crimson, can you go to the store for me?" I roll my eyes and say "Sure." I slip on my black flip-flops and walk downstairs.

When I get down there, she hands me a list and kisses me on the forehead. I pull away and grab the car keys. I then walk out to the garage and get into the car. I start it and drive off. Once I get to walmart, I park and walk inside. I grab a buggy and look at the list.

2 bags of chips

A gallon of milk

Chocolate chip cookie mix

Frozen Pizza

French fries

After I'm done reading the list, I start off toward the frozen isle. I find the pizza' sand grab one combo with pepperoni and sausage and one with cheese. Then I go down the isle and grab some orleda French fries. I then check them off the list. I exit the isle and go over to the cookie mix.

When I find the mix, it is on the top shelf where I can't reach. I sigh and jump up to get it. "Do you need some help?" Someone asked from behind me.I turn around to see a very muscular and tall man.

He had jet black hair, emerald eyes,and it looked like he had a tan. When his eyes met mine, I turned away and muttered "yes." I hear him chuckle and when I turn back around he has it in his hands. I reach for it but he pulls away and grabs my arm.

He stares deeply into my eyes. I see a flash of terror and anger in the and then he hands me the box and walks off. A shiver goes through my body, I put it in the cart and walk off.

*****************

I arrive at home and load all the groceries in. Once all of them is in the house and put up, I go upstairs. As soon as I get into my room, I notice the clock. It is six fifteen. I groan and grab my dress and change.

When I'm done, I put on my heels and go into the bathroom. I put on eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow. After I'm done with my make- up, I curl my hair. I finally finish and grab my silver purse. I glance at the clock and it's six forty-five.

I sigh and walk downstairs. Before I leave I shout " I'm going out!" Then, I walk out to the car and drive off. I arrive at the address seven minutes early. I get out and lock the car. I then walk up the steps and into the house. Once I'm inside music blares and lights flash.

I make my way to the drink table and pour me some wine. As I drink, I look around. I noticed that most the people here go to school. That would mean Rebecca Simons would be here. Rebecca is like the queen bee of the school.

We used to be friends until she starts hanging out with the popular girls. I take another sip of my wine and set it down. "Hey, I see you made it!" I hear someone say. I turn around and see the quarterback of the football team, Chris.

"Your the one that called me? How did you get my number?" Yes I called you and Katie gave me your number because I came over and asked. I look at him confused."Why did you call me?" He smiles and says " I figured you wanted to at least go to one party in highschool."

I smile and say "Well, thank you." He nods and walks off. As soon as I turn around, I feel a stinging sensation on my right cheek. It takes me two seconds to know I just got slapped by Rebecca. "What are you doing here nerd?"

I glare at her and say "Chris invited me." She laughs in her high pitched voices and says " Why would he invite a nerd like you?"For one, I am not a nerd,two, you have five seconds to back off before I punch you in the face."

I reply looking her straight in the eye. She rolls her eyes and walks off. I glare a hole in the back of her head and mutter "That's right you better back off." I turn back to the table and to my drink. I take another sip and decide its time to leave.

I grab my purse and exit the house. I get into the car and look in the mirror.There is a red mark but luckily no hand print. I shake my head and let out a huge sigh. I then start the car and drive home. I arrive at home, park, and walk inside.

I gasp as I get inside. Everything was upside down. The tables were flipped over, papers were everywhere, and drawers were pulled out. "Katie!" I scream. I run through the house and find her in her room. She had been stabbed in the stomach.

I hear her groan and immediately get my cellphone out and call 911. "Hello, 911 operator here, how may I help you?" My stepmom has been stabbed, please help me!" I shout. "Address?" She replies. " 2913 east point avenue."

"Help is on the way, but until it gets there, apply pressure on the wound." I hang up the phone and grab a rag. I run back into a Ron and apply it on the wound. I hear her groan again and say "Don't worry Katie, you'll be alright."

I start to cry and I don't know why. She's not my mother but I do still care. A few minutes later hear voices. I yell "in here!" The people in the ambulance bring a stretcher. One of them tells me to back up and I do.

How could someone do this, we have no enemies that I can think of. They take her out and load her into the ambulance. They ask me if I want to go but I'm to shaken up and shocked I shake my head no. They nod and quickly drive off.

I stand in the middle of our driveway. To shocked to speak or move. Questions just keep buzzing in my head. Who done this? How could someone do this to such a nice person? After a few minutes, I finally take a step.

I walk inside the house. I quickly clean up everything. When I think everything is clean, I run out to my car and drive to the hospital. Tears stream down my face as I arrive at the hospital.I run inside and right up to the lady at the front desk.

"May I help you?" She asks. "Yes, I'm looking for a patient named Katie Woods." She types something on the computer and says "How are you related to Miss Woods?" I'm her adopted daughter."I reply. "Ah yes, she is in surgery right now, you will have to wait in the waiting room."

I nod and walk into the waiting room. I sit out there for hours never eating or sleeping, just staring off into space. My eyes start to shut but I try to keep them open. I move over and lay down on the couch. I'm so exhausted that a few minutes later, I fall fast asleep.
