Chapter 1- Oh how I love my life

Hey! My name's Sage Payton. Just a year ago I was a normal meaningless girl with a normal boring life living in a small city in England. noticed the pass tense? Yeah me too. Well sit back and prepare your brain for a weird, exciting and funny ride because let me tell you my life couldn't get any weirder..... I probably just jinxed myself but um here we go!

A year ago

I woke up to my alarm screaming at me "uhg another day in hell... oh how I love my life". Practically dragging myself out of my bed I got up almost falling over making my way to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and pressed play on my music. Man I feel sorry for my neighbours. They must be able to hear me screaming words to songs. I mean how could you not?

Anyway, I have a job in a local coffee shop and when I say it was hell I wasn't kidding. My boss was a dick who couldn't give a rats ass about anyone but himself. That dude, let's just say doesn't have much respect for women and just sees them as objects. Yup we have one of these douches. So I could guess you know some of the things he's said towards me and my coworkers. Why don't I just quit you ask? well I'm to broke and it's unlikely that I will be able to get another job. So here I am stuck working for a douche of a boss. My life's great. But at least I'm getting paid right?

Once I got out of the shower I put on my uniform which was a white polo shirt and a pair black trousers. I put a pair of black shoes on and let my long silver hair stay down. I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to put a little make up on because I looked like a damn living walking potato. I put on concealer and some mascara to make my ice blue eyes stand out more. I looked at the time while grabbing my headphones and walking out the door. "Holy oh my- I'M LATE". Now, I don't have a car because I DO NOT trust myself on the road with a load of people driving because trust me I would be a hazard to the world. The coffee shop is a 15 minute walk from here so, if I ran maybe just maybe I would get there on time? Who am I kidding the universe hates me. I put my music on shuffle and started sprinting down the hill.

I must have looked like a idiot because the looks I had of people where so funny. Just as I got to the coffee shop door I tripped and wacked my head on the door creating a huge bang.
"Ow" I said annoyed and rubbing my forehead. I swear my brains still shaking from the impact. I'm surprised the door didn't break. Walking into the coffee shop a feminine voice shouted
"YOU'RE LATE".
"I know, I'm sorry" I replied as I walked up to her. She stared at me with her deep hazel eyes for a moment before pulling me into a tight hug.
"Can't- breathe" I said while she let go of me.
"Do you know what kind of crappy excuses I had to make up for you? You're god damn lucky I'm your friend!" She said annoyed but happy to see me. This is my only friend Justice Collins I call her jay for short. She was the opposite of me. Girly, loves fashion and always has her nails done. She has platinum blonde hair that's always curled at the ends and she's ridiculously pretty and you could tell she was unaware of it.

I'm not one to make a load of friends, I like to keep my distance because everyone I've loved always end up leaving me. That ranges from dying or just simply leaving. She was the only one I could trust, open up to. She was the only one who cared for me when I moved here 2 years ago. So I owed it to her to trust her.

"Hey Sage you feeling alright?" Justice asked in a concerned tone.
"I'm fine what do I seem grumpyer today?" I said jokingly. I like to cover up my feelings with humor.
"You just seem a little off today" she says still concerned.
"I guess it's just one of those days" I replied. Man was I wrong. Growing up I've always been a believer in ghosts and the supernatural because I've always been a little psychic. It started with weird feelings and weird coincidences. But lately I've been having dreams and visions that felt way to real to be my mind playing tricks on me. My family are very religious so when they found out I had was having visions they kicked me out because they thought it was the 'devil's work.' What a load of crap I say. As you can tell I'm not a big believer of the big guy.

It started off with vivid scary dreams that would cause me not to sleep for days. Then I started having visions at random times during the day and honestly I'm not sure what they mean. I have dreams and visions of someone or something murdering and torturing people. And it scares me I mean wouldn't you be a little creeped out if you had dreams of someone murdering people? But then I also have different ones of a man killing these things.. creates. I can't really tell if he's good or not.

Anyway enough of that weird stuff. As much as I hate my job I also love it. Because let me tell you the story's I have are ones that if you weren't there you wouldn't believe. People just seem to spill there guts to me it's kida funny but can be annoying at times. After a long frustrating shift at work. I decided to go home get changed. I said goodbye to Jay hugging her.
"please don't be late tomorrow" she pleaded.
"I'm not making any promises" I shouted opening the door and walking out of the coffee shop. There's one thing that I do everyday and that's listen to music while going for a walk. It's normally at night because it's empty, calm and cool. I like having time alone to think. Without anybody bothering me. Except little did I know that this walk would change my life forever. Maybe it was for the best? Oh god knows. If he's even real or she you never know.
