The Devil's Children

Chapter One

It's a new day - Vanessa's POV

The familiar sound of repetitive beeping drilled into my head as i stretched across my bed to wake up, mumbling and groaning about getting up at 6am when i'm used to getting up at 1pm. My phone pinged so i reluctantly reached out and checked to see what psychopath would be awake in the early morning

Mom:Hey Hun, enjoy your first day at Richwood i love you so much 

How thoughtful of her to think of me and take 3 seconds out of her 'busy' day to text me some generic bullshit. I slid out of bed and trudged towards my bathroom and let the water trickle down my face as i shower all the tiredness away.I hop out the shower and brush my teeth. I then dry my hair, straighten it and apply some mascara, concealer and a clear lip-gloss to my tired face. Now what do you wear on your first day at school? Black...duh, i throw on a short black and white checkered skirt, black crop top and my dads leather jacket before stuffing as much as i could fit into my bag and jamming my feet into my worn out trainers. I took a moment to check myself out in the mirror and then headed for the door. It was only 7am and school didn't start till 8:30 so i had no idea what to do until i heard my stomach rumble, i knew exactly where to go.

It was 7:30 by the time i arrived at my second home 'Darla's Diner' it had been in Richwood for generations and i had been there my whole life, i had memories in every square inch of the diner from my first kiss to a rainy afternoon. As i pushed open the door the bell rang and Chuck plodded towards the counter
"Good Morning Vanessa, and how are you my dear?"

Chuck was like a father to me ever since my biological one disappeared, he had kind eyes and possibly the goofiest smile. I got to know him really well this summer after he offered me a part-time job, he said it's because he needed help but i know it's because he spoke to my mom.
"Morning Chuck, i'm doing good how's you and Darla?" I replied smiling at him.

He shook his head and gestured towards a seat which i pulled towards the counter and sat on waiting for his response. Chuck turned around and started cooking my favorite, Blueberry Waffles! I traced my finger along the counter waiting for something interesting, i looked up and stared at the clock, 7:43. Suddenly the door bell jingled and Darla, the owner of the Diner stormed in and stomped straight into the back room.

"Oh my i wonder what has her in such a tizzy" Chuck whispered to me before continuing the almost finished waffles.

I looked up at the clock 8:01, I threw my napkin on my now clean plate and pulled out my purse to pay but chuck looked at me and raised his eyebrow which was his way of telling me i don't have to pay this time
"Thanks Chuck" I exclaim
"Its ok chick, have a good first day at school!"

I smile and kiss him on the cheek before grabbing my bag and heading to school watching lights turn on around me as people wake up to start their days, this whole time i hadn't even thought about all the first day loneliness, no friends, new school, new teachers, new everything. I gulped and shook the thoughts out of my head as i arrived at Richwood High, more commonly known as Bitchwood by other students. Looks like i was one of the first ones here, I reluctantly venture inside and decide to look for my locker.

After receiving my locker key from the most passive aggressive school receptionist i have ever encountered, i scoured the corridors for number 022, I passed classrooms, toilets, the principals office until i finally found it and rushed towards it sighing in relief. I put my notebook and wallet in my locker before closing it and realizing the corridors were now filling with more and more students. I guess the social anxiety kicked in because i suddenly spun around to walk away but i instead crashed into another student i stood up to help them up and froze...

My new life- Kasumi's POV

I felt something lick my face.
"Scrappy.... get off... just 5 more minutes"
I reached for my phone it was 6:30. I waited a minute before I got out of bed. Thanks scrap. I gentle stroked my pup and went to my closet. What should I wear? It's my first day so I should look a bit classy. Not too fancy though. I shouldn't look like a slut though either. Ahhh I know just casual. Tight fitting jeans and a t-shirt of some kind. I pick up a purple one. This will do. Now shoes.. just trainers they will do. Should I wear a hat... I'll just borrow clementine's(my older sister's) hat. I got changed into the clothing items I picked out and 'borrowed' my sisters hat. I still got time to burn. So I took my little pupper for a walk looking around the apartment block. I know why me and Clem live here. It's all my fault. Mom.... I miss her... it's my fault she died. No time for reminiscing about that. I dropped scrap off at home and thought about what to eat for breakfast. I should also make food for Clem. How about pancakes just the way Clem likes them. I pulled out one of those ready made ones you can get at stores even though I spare no expense I'm lazy as fuck.

After I finished making the pancakes I started to eat my own. Mmmmm for being really cheap they still taste great "CLEM COME ON. WAKE UP. I MAKE BREAKFAST" I finished my plate and put it on the sink as Clem came out of her room.
"Morning sis. I'll be coming home late these next few nights. I got accepted into the police academy so don't get any wild ideas."
I nodded and walked to school. What will this new school be like. Will I make friends. Hopefully people are nice. I brushed my fingers through my dark brown hair. I reached the school at stared at the entrance. What should I do first? Am i gonna fit in?
