Shadows in the risen

Chapter One: you never know who you're going to meet

 My name is Violetta DeLeon. I am sixteen years old with one week until my birthday. My birthday is on July first (which marks half of the year). I have really light, brown eyes and blonde hair. It's not straight but not curly either, like an awkward stage in the middle. With no friends to hang out with, I'm almost always home. It's summertime, so I don't do much. I read a lot, I love reading.

 I woke up with this big headache. I don't know where it came from, it wasn't like I had anything like it before. The nightmare must have triggered it. I wasn't able to go back to sleep, I have gotten ready to go to the library, as I do every Saturday. I brought with me my favorite series, Angelfire, by Courtney Allison Moulton. I was re-reading it for the hundredth time. When I had arrived at the library, I went into the teen room. I got there early so no one was in there. When I was halfway through the book. I heard a sound in the room. I had looked up moments before not seeing anyone but there in front of me was Will, a character from the series. I screamed.

 I guess a boy had heard me because he ran into the room he was about 6'8. He stared at me for a couple minutes. I looked over to where will was standing but he had vanished... or was it just my imagination? 

 The boy asked, "What happened?" he looked so confused.
 "N... nothing, um.. it was just my imagination," I replied.
 "Okay...?" He said, walking out of the room but before he left he turned around and said "Your strength in heart and hand will fall to a Reaper's bane. You will lose everything you love until you finally lose your soul."
 Even though that quote is not from the first book I know the quote by heart. I had dropped my book on the table in front of me and ran out of the room...
 The boy was sitting down. he had light brown hair and violet-blue eyes. They were so pretty. I saw that he was reading the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.
 I stared at him and then eventually said, "To love is to destroy" We then both said "And to be loved is to be the one destroyed," I smiled at him.
 He looked at me for a couple seconds. He chuckled and then said "....Are you going to stand there or sit down and let me read the book to you?"
 I stared, shocked and blushed then sat down and smiled.
 "Hi.." He said.
 "Hi" I replied.
 "My name is Aiden." He said, staring at me.
 I was silent. I liked his name a lot. I have never heard it before but I liked it.
 "Aren't you going to tell me your name?" He said with a light chuckle after a couple minutes.
 "Oh.. um.. my name is Violetta uh.. sorry" I finally said.
 He laughed "You're adorable... I love your name, it's cute."
 I looked away blushing.
 "You okay?" He said.
 "Uh.. yeah.." I said in a slightly awkward tone.
 "All right.." He said, turning to the beginning of the book and starting to read. "'You've got to be kidding me,' The bouncer said, folding his arms.....'"
 after a while, to me it had seemed like a half hour, The librarian said that the library was going  to close for the day. I jumped.
 "You okay?" He asked.
 I just looked at him "Y-yeah just surprised, it seemed like I just got here."
 He smiled "So ..you like me reading to you"
 "Uhh.. Yeah I guess.."
 "Do you wanna see me again?" He asked.
 "Yeah, ...I mean yes. Uhh sorry.. yes I would like to see you again..." I was staring at him "I.. I mean you need to finish reading the book to me."
 He smiled at that then said "You're right, I do need to finish reading the book to you. Give me your number so I can call you?"
 "Uh.. yeah" I wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
 "I'll call you later then." He said, smiling.
 "Okay" I said, my face red with a blush.
 "Till we meet again." He said
 "'Till we meet again.'" I replied as he walked off.
  I stood there for a couple minutes then went into the room were all my things are, picked them up then left. As I was walking home, I kept thinking about Aiden. Something about him is off, but I don't really talk to anyone so it might just be me being socially awkward
