Snow Drown:Chapter 1

Felicia's POV

        That one  fell gracefully.......... Oh.... that one mmmm..... not so much.....

I looked closely at falling. snowflakes as the horizon quickly changed to crimson ,showing exactly how the sun was setting. Slowly and tenderly than I could realize ice melted on the surface right by the foot of the door. It turned into sparkling water, probably the only memory I would hold on to unless changes that I had wanted to happen didn't happen.

This could be the last snow for the the year and I would brace myself for the next. I pretty much had gotten used to every falling season, I would almost tell how each season would be flamboyantly spent.....well that's what I thought.

Some mornings were spent looking at the window as the rain fell, at times looking at the falling leaves hoping in some way it would soothe my boredom. Most of all it didn't matter anymore ,it's not like days would back down on passing by, I didn't have control over them but it felt like they just died away like leaves in autumn without my permission . It had been 6 years since Crystal,Liam and I shunned ourselves from the rest of the world.

I never really understood why we left the city to live in the woods .After we moved everything felt like time had stopped moving, I stopped going to school,leaving everything behind like forgotten scraps. I thought it was temporary ,for as long as the shortest time as possible until the tension died down. To my bursting of a bubble it wasn't. Crystal said if we went out there ,only goodness knows what danger we would bring upon ourselves and the others...... yes.. ...we were not the only ones in these woods.

Three families decided to live in these woods for reasons I never understood before. It had been after the incident that has haunted me my entire life.  The event which led to us almost losing our lives just put other families in as much danger as we would be in. Despite being by ourselves we tried our best to stay hidden, when that didn't feel like it was going well we grew even more frantic about it.

After my parents died,one thing I refused to accept. We began running without stopping. Each time I reckon about it the only thing that comes to mind is it's happening at this point all over again. Maybe because I haven't gotten over the shock of losing my parents .

How could I? . When it was on a day like that one. Grandfather had called us, he said we needed to see the secret project he had been working on. He was done with it as he never told us what it was before,he suggested it would be a surprise  for my parents' 17th anniversary  . He told his attorney to come and pick us up somewhere in Victoria. But surprisingly he took them to a restaurant as we remained in the car. Goodness knows  what they discussed, and  a while later they came in a hurry like someone had an eye them,like they escaped underneath the murder's nose but they did not succeed .

In my head I saw mom and dad  telling us to run before the person who had been hunting them came, a certain rage came over me I wanted to get back at whoever caused all this.

"Kids.... Listen to what your dad and I are about to tell you. "

"Mom, is something wrong?"asked Crystal.

"This is sudden and you probably won't understand but you have to listen to us.... because its for the best. "

"Dad? what's going on? " I had asked him.

"Run as far as you can!Get the van that is at home and go to Blue Gum forest where our vacation houses are. If anything happens to us have this credit card get all of your account's savings ...and... and don't ever tell people you don't know about your true names.... Go! don't worry about us......"
