Walking off the small blue metal bus, Sophie looked up at the crimson building in front of her. Cracks were evident in the tattered red paint whilst the bookshop itself appeared to be abandoned. Taking a deep breath, Sophie walked up the smooth stone steps, advancing towards the red wooden door. With a slight push, the door creaked open and the sound of a small bell dinged above her.
"Sophie is that you?" Her aunt Bella chimed in a honey toned voice. Peering from behind the counter, aunt Bella looked Sophie from head to toe behind her thick rimmed glasses.
"Don't worry sweetie, we will get you into routine in no time"

The creature asked, but it didn't sound like a vicious question. He sounded... confused. When I didn't answer, he appeared in front of me, snatching my face in his hand once more and growling. ''What is that on your back?'' ''I don't know,'' I blindly answered, but corrected myself quickly when his grip tightened dangerously, ''It's a birth mark, the doctors called it a... a Lichtenberg figure. My mother said I was born with it, I swear it, even though it's usually what happens when you survive being struck-'' ''-by lightning.''
