Hope Winchester

Chapter 1

        "Forgive me, my beautiful girl...I'm so sorry Hope...S-so sorry.."

My eyes snapped open and I quickly sat up. That was weird..I thought before checking the time on my alarm clock next to me. 7:55 AM

I yawned and tossed the blanket off of me, I stood up and made my way down the stairs. I was greeted by my adoptive family, my father was putting salt in his duffle bag and my mother was busy making breakfast.

"Good morning.." I quickly say before sitting at the island.

"Finally awake I see." my 'father' said in a cold tone.

Being raised in a family of hunters wasn't easy, sure I knew..well everything about fighting, fending off ghosts, monsters, and such. But it's no real way of living. I never felt welcomed at my adoptive home, my care givers care more about the job then there 'child'. But that's how a lot of hunters are, cold.

"..mhm.." I glance at my father for a second before looking away from him and talking to my mother.

"How'd you sleep?" she asks, focusing on a pancake she's flipping.

"Fine" I normally keep conversations short, I've never been much of a talker. That's why I don't have friends, but regardless I don't care. I've learned not to trust anyone easily.

"I caught a case." my father chimes in.  We stay silent and he eventually tells us what it is.

"A shapeshifter it seems, should be pretty easy, Hope you'll stay here. Your mother and I will take care of it."  I nod, it'll be nice to finally have a break.

Ever since I turned 10 all I've been doing is hunting. I'm now 16.

"We'll leave tonight, it should only take 3 days tops." He quickly says after. I nod again. His fave goes serious "if we're not back in a week, you know what to do."

"..yes.." I take a minute to respond.

"Good, Now get ready for school." he responds looking at the clock.

I make my way upstairs, after eating a pancake and get ready. I dress in a flowery blue see through over coat, with short sleeves. A tight black long sleeved shirt under, and leggings. I brush out my naturally wavy light auburn hair and with that, I'm ready to go.

I don't do much with my appearance because I don't feel the need to, I'm not trying to impress anyone. Yet I still get guys hitting on me. I don't see what they see, but I do get acquaintances telling me how beautiful I am. I still, don't see it. But whatever, it didn't really matter to me.

I grab my bag and slip my flipphone and ear buds into it. I hop down the stairs and nod at my parents before walking out. I take out my small music player and plug in my ear buds playing my playlist of classic rock. It normally calms me down, and gets me in a better mood. But I'm naturally pretty chill.

Carry on wayward son comes on and I can't help but hum the words on my way to..hell. When I approach I am immediately greeted by a cheery girl named Savannah.

"HOPE!" she yells while jumping in front of me, this takes me by suprise and I naturally grip the straps of my bag. I take out my ear buds.

"..yes Savannah?.." I reply, still taken by suprise. We begin to walk into the school.

"Jennifer broke up with Jacob for the 6th time!" she starts talking about the latest drama, which is honestly just annoying.

"Why should I care?" my hazel green eyes snapping coldly twords Savannah. She didn't deserve this, but it's in my nature.

She seems taken back by my reaction, but she sheepishly apologizes and speed walks away. I sigh and make my way to my locker. I grab the books I need for class and make my way there.

On the way I stop in my tracts to see..wow Jacob of all people pushing a random kid down and yelling at him. I'm fast to react quickly restraining Jacob.

"HEY- AUH, Let go of me you freak!" I roll my eyes at his response.

"Stop picking on people that are weaker then you. Its a turn off." I say sarcastically.

He struggles to get out of my grip which just makes me tighten it causing him to wince in pain.

"Woah there tiger, getting feisty are we?" I say mockingly, this just makes him angrier. By this time the kid has already run away.

Jacob attempts to kick me in the stomach, but fails as I loosen my grip and drop him on the floor. I start to walk away, but, just my luck. He throws a book at my head. At this point I'm done. I turn around and knee him in the gut, causing him to lose his breath.

"Stop trying to act tough, we both know that isn't true." I say while waving.

I finally arrive at class almost ten minutes late, my teacher scolds me, but that's about it. I go through the 6 other periods with ease. Finally the bells rings and I'm on my way out. I take out my music player and ear buds and play classic rock. I start to walk home but I find myself being surrounded by Jacob and his goons.

"..what is it?" I say already done with this shit.

"We're tired of you acting like your the boss around here, it's time we put you in your place." Jacob says while cracking his knuckles.

"...."

"I'm not really in the mood." I push a few of the guys out of the way and continue my walk home. I plug back in my ear buds shutting out Jacobs yells.

-------------------------------------------------------

As I approach my house door I notice the visible signs of a break in. I quickly run inside and I can barely comprehend the sight before my eyes.

The house is a mess, everything is torn up, and there's blood...a lot of blood...panic radiates off of me while I frantically look for my 'parents'. They might not be blood, but they're all I have. As I step into the living room I drop to my knees, on the floor I can see my mother and father torn to shreds.

Tears fall down my cheeks as I approach what's left of them. I suddenly see my moms eyes flutter open and I hold her in my arms.

"..i-i'm...so...s-sorry...h-hope.." her voice is raspy and I can tell, she can't hold on much longer.

"M-mom..your all I have left..p-please..." I hold her tightly in my arms, I find myself sobbing.

"Shhh.." she quietly says "there's a box, hidden the the closet of the safe room..it has information on your real parents..." she coughs up blood. "F-find th-......" my face goes white, all movement stopped in my mom, all the light in her eyes gave out..she was gone. I put my head down on her chest and sob.
