TIME & DATE NOT SPECIFED

I felt something was wrong, I could feel it, sense it. The air seemed cooler than usual; cold even. It didn't seem right. Something was here. Something unwelcome. I closed my eyes trying to to block out the terrible thoughts that were slowly creeping into my mind.

TIME & DATE: NOW

Hi. I sort of skipped the introduction. It's good to have an introduction right? So, I'm Lila. I live in London, well I used to live in London. I live in Sydney now. But I lived in England for 11 years (I'm thirteen now). I was born in London, I still think of it as home. But my home is Australia now, nothing can change that. When Mum died everything changed. Dad said that moving would be a fresh start for all of us, but I know deep inside London is where we really belong. One day I'll go home. No one will remember me or recognise me but it will be good to go home one day. One day...

It all started 2 years ago on my 11th birthday. It was nice enough, my birthday, a nice chocolate cake, a nice card, a nice present. All nice. Very nice. It's what happened after that wasn't nice. Not nice at all. In fact it was probably the worst thing that ever happened to me.
