A Fearful Nightmare

I am a pretty simple person and so was my life before everything changed. My name is Rayla Bones; I just turned sixteen years old. I have long black hair, and light brown skin, and a small, fragile body but with great curves like any other native Indian girl.

I was raised on a reservation until I was about five. Then I moved to a small town in Texas, which was no different at all. I was always living with my family in this small house all until my mother divorced my father and remarried a man that I never even got to meet. His name is John.

Sure, they met through work, and mom believes he’s the one for her, but I totally doubt it. I might just be in denial, but from what she tells me about him, he sounds like a joke, but he’s not important to me.

You should know my life is nothing without my family, so I might as well tell you who they are. I look just my father, Ray, except that he is built and has darker skin. My mother, Kristin, has my body and hair type, but she is taller, and her skin is very light. Nick and Chris are my twin brothers; they are both two chubby five year olds with light brown hair. Last, but certainly not least, is my thirteen year old sister, Nicky. She is an exact splitting image of my mother, except she is younger and also very tall for her age.

So that is my small and powered by love family, but I would have never known the boy I literally ran into would be the one to save my life from the person I was supposed to call father. .
