The birds chirp, the wind swaying against the trees. Sunshine reflecting a beam into my eyes, the light blinding me. Dawn was almost here.

The stairs creaked as I lightly climbed down the steps, one step at a time, once I reached the bottom I went into the kitchen and made one or two pieces for toast, once I finished my breakfast I packed my bag for my first day of high school, which to me is not very exciting. I decided to walk since the school wasn't to far away, as I walked I saw the school and it was quite amazing, five stories high and so many teens, of course I knew there were going to be people but there were to many to count!

As I walked home from school I decided to drop off at the shopping centre and grab some milk and eggs. I thought I should have a break and took the rest of the day off sleeping. As I woke up startled by the time "DINNER!" I shouted as I ran down stairs and I realised the front door was open, I then knew it was my mother but, I heard her talking to someone and realised that she didn't come home alone. "Mum, are you home?" I asked, mother simply answered "oh why are you home? Oh well can you please make dinner dear?" She asked, i replied "i was just getting to that but next time you should stop talking to people and do it yourself" I shouted in return "what was that!" She shouted back I replied"nothing, nothing at all" I just remembered about the door "hey mum who are you talking to?" I asked she replied" does it matter? DINNER!" She reminded me I rolled my eyes and said "fine, fine" I decided to get along with my mother and made us some flour chicken, I was to tired to make anything else.

When mum finally came down stairs she was just the person I wanted to see but be for I could say any thing mum said"Riley there's someone I want you to meet" she pointed at a boy with a baseball hat, i was about to speak but she continued "He used to be a friend of yours when you were younger, you remember Stephen, right?" I stared at his adorable face and said with my hand touching his right cheek " S-Stephen?, is it really you?" I hugged him and said "where the hell have you been asshole" I started to cry " Around, I guess you?" He asked, the smile disappeared and I replied with a hint of anger " where do you think? where you left me all those years ago. You lost my love then, where you left me to die" mothers' eyes saddened "Riley you will go with him, to hell " I stared at them both. She looked at Stephen "take care if my daughter"she whimpered, I replied with annoyance that I had no say in this"You are not my mother!" looking to one then the other trying to look like I understood where there point of view lead but stayed still in silence. Stephen was the first to say "Riley you have a gift you should use it wis-" I cut him off with a hatred glare, I would of rather of had dad here he would understand how it felt to be left as he was the one I tried to protect from the demons and I wouldn't of seceded if he hadn't fought beside me, I questioned him"I trusted you and is this how you treat me? I will never go back there I DONT LISTEN TO YOU HEAR ME!!" I turned to my mother and shouted "now you see why I don't trust anyone, because they always disobey my trust and last time I trusted someone they left me to die" i stared at Stephen. Mother said nothing but stared down at her feet. "AND YOU, WHY SHOULD I EVEN TRUST YOU ANYMORE?" I stepped towards him as a reason to step back but stayed still, I turned my gaze to mother "Give me one reason in why I should trust the person who left me to die?" She looked at me and said with sadness, tears running down her face and her fingertips touching her lips "BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKED AFTER YOUR FATHER WHEN WE COULDN'T" I stared at him astonished "m-my father?" I stuttered. I looked at Stephen and then down "how is he?" I asked without looking at his face, he replied a bit taken back by my harsh words "h-he past away a couple of days ago now" I looked really shocked and stretched my head forward then the shock past "stupid bastard" I smiled then continued "he always knew how to get in trouble, I guess he got in over his head" I whimpered. I asked "Stephen, tell me, what help would i be if i went with you? what would you make me do?" I demanded. He looked half shocked when he heard the sorrow and pain in my voice and said with a soothing voice "you would be put on special missions with me and help maintain order, Riley we need you, I-I need you" he said with a look that told me he was looking for an answer, probably wondering how I might take it and realised that he was saying more then i realised he was saying he was saying he loved me.
