Chapter 1
One year earlier
It had been five years since my parents had divorced, ever since then my life had been out of place.
I lived with my mother, whose lifestyle of choice was nothing cheap; which of course was paid for with my fathers child support. I hated it.
I had no-one, the only person who made my life even a little bit worth living past away from cancer one and a half years ago.
I stopped everything I had done that would make me normal; socially, physically and mentally.
Ever since then, my mind had become open to things unnatural; beyond normal. I couldn't control it.
On my best friends birthday I went to the cemetery to visit her grave.
It was a horrible day; a day that is so morbid it's a dangerous act to walk outside.
The weather was bleak and the silence in the cemetery seemed to follow me; with one exception...
I could feel the coldness brush past me, as I looked up I saw a strange but familiar silhouette. I stared in disbelief, in fear.
"I miss you, Kiera" she whispered in my ear, I closed my eyes before the tears could escape.
As I opened them, she was gone "I miss you too" I whispered, laying the pink lilies I held onto her grave.
After that happened, I began to question my sanity; was I hallucinating because of the loss?
After I left the cemetery, I tripped over on the way home; causing a deep cut in the palm of my left hand.
My mother insisted on taking me to the hospital, that was when it became clear.
As soon as I walked through the doors, I was smothered. Strange silhouettes wondered around aimlessly, there was about thirty of them crammed into the small emergency waiting room; some staring straight at me, others barely noticing.
It had been happening ever since.
"I can't stand it anymore, Kiera" my mother shouted, clearly in the mood to argue, "Can't you just act normal?"
"I don't need your fucking advice" I yelled, trying to stop the tears, "You think I like my life? The way I have no friends, the way I'm so disconnected to everything?"
"Don't you dare swear at me!" she yelled, her hand slapping the side of my cheek; it could have been a lot worse.
I trembled as I held my face "You don't understand anything" I muttered.
"Leave then!" she shouted, pointing towards the door.
I finally had enough of her abuse. So I packed my things and was out of the house within a day.
I called my dad; who I barely even spoke to, who I never saw.
He tried to get answers out of me, but failed. I was now on a plane to my new home; New Jersey.
It didn't even cross my mind that this was the beginning of the worst year of my life; something beyond a nightmare.
Next chapter....I promise, they will be there
