Forbidden

Chapter 1

It's alive.

I can feel it.

I can feel it moving.

Twisting and turning.

I'd hoped it would stop.

I fell on my knees, begging God to stop this.

To stop all of this.

I can feel i-

Oh, God!

Pardon me, I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Brianna.

I'm fifteen -- soon to be sixteen -- and I love cake -- no pizza -- wait, never mind... cake. Yeah, I love cake.

Okay, back to the point.

So recently, I moved to Paris with my parents an-

You know what, let's just start from the beginning.

It all happened so fast. One second I'm at home watching youtube; the next the house is filled with boxes.

"Get in the car, honey." My mom said.

I nodded and sat patiently in the car while my parents were packing the rest of our stuff.

2 hours later, we arrived at our new house.

It was huge and kind of creepy.

I don't like big houses. They just give me the chills.

"Aren't you excited? Go pick your room." Mom said with a big smile on her face.

I nodded my head once again and went to explore.

The kitchen was big and had a lot of cabinets.

The bathroom wasn't actually that bad.

It was shiny and there was a really big golden bathtub.

Next to the bathroom were two rooms. One with a golden doorknob, and the other with a silver doorknob.

I grabbed the silver doorknob and opened the door. The room was big and fancy.

The walls were black and white, which are my favorite colors...

1 WEEK LATER...
----------------------

Beep...beep...beep...

I groaned into my pillow, just wishing for the sound to go away.

Beep...beep...beep...

What genius person came up with the idea of alarm clocks? I need to go and give that person a good smack in the face.

Beep...beep...beep...

Alright, alright, I'm coming! Geez.

I slowly turn over, lift my head up groggily, and poke an arm out and press the "snooze" button. I listened for a moment and then sighed in satisfaction. I dropped my head back onto my pillow, and before I could even process my next thought, I drifted back into La-La-Land.

-----------------------------------------------

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...

"Wha-" Is all I managed to say before I rolled over and - BAM - I was resting on the floor, rubbing my aching head, one leg still laying on the bed, and my blanket cascading around me.

I groaned for the second time that morning.

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...

"Shut your big mouth this instant or I'm am personally going to murder you!" I yelled up at the alarm clock as loud as I could.
