A Battle Between Life and Death

New House, New Life

Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry this is a really short chapter, I'll post another after this one

As I get into our car I'm not sure whether or not I'll like that it's so warm here, even though it is winter. I sigh as my mom starts to drive and rolls the windows down, causing my hair the fly everywhere. I slightly shake my head and look out of the car, I notice some shirtless guys walking around, and smile lightly as I think that the view isn't bad. Maybe it won't be so terrible here. My mom looks over seeing a smile on my face. She likes to know that I'm happy here. A smile slowly forms on her face as she turns her eyes back to the road.

"How far out are we going mom?" I ask as the car ride starts to seem endless. She laughs and glances over at me and says, "Thought you liked living in small towns."

"Yeah, but I feel like your taking me somewhere so you can kill me and easily get rid of my body." I look over at her and sink down in my seat, my eyes widen as I question her, "That's not what you're planning is it?"

"Of course not, why would I kill my own daughter?" She asks, "I'm not that crazy."

"Normally teenagers would be thrilled to have a house this big." She says grabbing some bags from the trunk. 

"I mean, I am happy to have a bigger house. Because I'll have a bigger room and I might finally have enough room for my books." I grab my bags as I say this, and run up to the house. I turn waiting for my mom. She walks up the steps, pulls out her keys, and unlocks the door. I push the door open and see someone sitting in the dining room reading a newspaper. I open my mouth about to say something, but the person looks up and my jaw must have dropped to the floor I was so shocked. That couldn't be...
