Beyond Great Darkness

Chapter 1

Elena's p.o.v

Walking home isn't my favorite thing to do. There's creepy people and animals not on leashes just roaming around. Brock says everything's bad. And everything will hurt me, except him. I believe him.

Brocks 3 years older than me. I'm 16 he's 19. We started dating when I was a freshman and we've been in love ever since. Well, at least I think what Brock and I have is love.

To my left I can see the park where Brock plays tennis. I would walk over there, but sometimes he hates it when I'm there unannounced. In the distance I can see my house. Most people say my house is big, but I've never really thought about it. I guess it is. There's 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a living area, kitchen, patio, dinning area, and a huge backyard.

I started speed walking, which turned into jogging, and now I'm running.

I'm not a very fast runner but I did get to my house in less than 5 minutes. Which is good, I guess.

I walked up the sidewalk to my front porch.

"Mom, I'm home," I said as I opened the door.

"Im the kitchen," I walked to my left to be greeted by my lovely mother.

Unlike me with my blonde hair, my mom has a dark brown almost black hair color. Though we both have blue eyes, I don't think we have that much in common. She's uptight, and caring which isn't a very good combination. Yet I'm very different, I'm curious but mature at the same time.

"How was school hunny bun?"

"Uh, same old same old." She nodded. "Oh, I got my report card today."

"Let me see it," I gave it to her.

My reports cards aren't the best, but since I tell my mom everything, I showed it to her.

"2 B's, and 4 A's. Ok, well I guess thats better than your last report card." She smiled and handed it back to me.

I turned to leave but stopped when I forgot to ask her something.

"Is Alexis here?" She shook her head. "Christy?" Another head shake. "Emma, Peyton, Jimmy, anyone?" More head shakes. "Then where are they?"

"Jim went to pick Peyton up from daycare. Your cousin and sisters went to the mall, told me to tell you to meet them there."

"Ok which?" She stared at me for a second.

"Which do you think?" She sounded a bit thoughtless. That's weird.

But I know they're at Saint Andrews Mall, but just wanted to make sure.

I turned to leave, but stopped once again.

"Can I use your car?" She nodded.

Now I went to go change.

Walking to my room on the second floor I passed my cousins room. It's big than mine but that's because she picked it out first.

But I went to my room and to my closet to pick out my grey sweatshirt that says 'Make Love.' My black skinny jeans, black vans, and grey beanie. Flashy? Maybe. No, I normally always dress like that whenever I go out.

I got my purse with my money, walked down the stairs, grabbed my moms keys, and took off in her silver Mercedes AMG.

*******

I arrived in about 10 minutes and got out the car.

To my right I see 3 cute looking guys, all with brown hair. Two are around 6'2 and one is about an inch taller, I think.
