Sweet Fiendish Avenge-Chapter 1 (Not Edited)

1

I was lying on the roof of my house, my dark brown hair slowly waving around me. I looked at all the stars in the sky. When you're little you have that hope, and that if you wish upon a star, you always think it will come true. Sooner or later, you just forget all about it, because you're having so much fun and don't have to worry or stress about everything. It just seems as you get older, everything changes to the extreme. Wishing upon a star just leaves you to know that nothing will ever come true. You get to know a star as a simple, tiny dot in the sky; that wishing upon a star will leave you more hopeless.2

I just simply wish that one thing could enter my life, and make it better. Life is something we will never understand, completely. It's this huge conflict that we have to find a resolution to. But what do we do until we get away from a conflict? Just sit here and cry about? Most of us do that, matter of fact.3

I felt a raindrop hit my forehead, and I closed my eyes. The rain started coming down, and I just laid there letting the rain soak me. My tears started to blend in with the rain. Tomorrow was another day, another day of surprises. Same routine, but always comes out different. If anything got worse, I just felt like being five again and wish upon a star, and know that it will come true.4

My eyes started to get heavy, and slowly closed to the last glimpse of the city lights and stars surrounding me. The rain still pouring on my pale, fragile self and each drop felt cleansing and pure. My thoughts slowly went away turning to dreams; dreams that either were complete nightmares or ones that seemed unrealistically possible. 5

I kept tossing and turning, messing up the thin blanket I was laying on. I could hear things whisper to me, as if another presence was right beside me. I could feel the tense sensation flowing through my veins, my heart beating faster every second. I was running everywhere, and felt as if I were trapped. No air to breathe, and no light to guide me. A pitch black suffocating trap. My dreams were a sign, or how I felt in my life. A light slowly came through the trap, the light got bigger and bigger blinding my eyes. 6

I was on my back, my eyes opened with shock and I gasped for air. Above me was the blue sky, clouds roaming free throughout. The sun was brightening the sky, and I felt the morning air caress me. I propped myself on my elbows and looked at the clock on my cell phone, seven in the morning. I had to get ready in thirty minutes, and get myself off to school. I slowly arose from the ground, and stretched my body and sighed. 7

I silently crept through my window to my room and landed on my bed gently. The walls of my room were red with black stripes, I did everything myself. On one side was a book shelf filled with books of my interest, books I paid for. Along with my bookshelf was my wooden desk piled with notebooks with locks on them. Across, on the other side was my dresser. It was a basic, simple bedroom. Something about my room was unique, it was unique because it expressed me.8

I got off my bed, making my black comforter messy to make it look like I slept here in my bed all night. I grabbed my black Zoo York shirt, mint acid wash skinny jeans, and my purple racer sweater vest and quietly opened my door. I tried walking like a ghost to the bathroom to take a quick shower. 9

“Clarity Blue Reign!” My mom called from her room. I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut. I walked quickly to her room so she wouldn’t yell. 10

“Yes, mom?” I raised an eyebrow. 11

“I need you to pick up my laundry, and I need you to cash these checks. Also, I have a grocery list for you,” She said coldly handing me the list and checks.12

“Mom, you know I have school. I can’t be late,” I said nervously, my arms shaking a bit.13

“Do I look like I care? It’s not like you’re going to get anywhere,” She rolled those harsh cold bright blue eyes. 14

I silently sighed, so she couldn’t hear me supposedly complain. “Yes ma’am,” I said and went out the room and headed to the bathroom.15

That woman didn’t stop me from my dreams, she couldn’t. If she only knew how smart I actually was, or maybe she did, and didn’t want to admit it. Either way, I am strong enough to get to my passion. 16

I turned on the shower, and turned it on hot. I took off my damp clothes that got soaked in rain, and walked into the hot, relaxing shower. The hot water felt great running down my body. I loved taking showers, they took everything off my mind and cleansed my thoughts. Every thought seemed to trickle out of my brain and run down into the drain. I wish it literally would, but then again, wishes never came true. I used to wish a lot when I was really little, not anymore. I realized none of my wishes ever came true. I just strive to reach my passions, so I can live the life I want to live. 17

I turned off the shower and grabbed my yellow towel and put it around me. I got out and dried off, and put my hair up in a high bun. I put my clothes on, and looked in the mirror. I took my hair out of the high bun, and dried it. I straightened my hair, and added my sequined blue beanie. I applied some black eyeliner on my big eyes. I put on some purple eye shadow to my eyelids, bringing out my gray blue eye color. I applied some blush to my cheeks, giving some color to my pale face. Last but not least I spread some lemon custard lip shine to my pale pink lips to make them shine. I smiled at myself in the mirror, “Clarity Blue Reign is going to achieve her dreams. Nothing will stop her.” I put on my purple racer sweater vest and quickly, but gently walked back to my room. 18

I slipped on my purple, double tongue Chuck Taylor converse. I added my black and grey striped scarf, my leather blue fingerless gloves, and purple and black checkered belt. I picked up notebook by notebook, and carefully stuffed them in my black and white striped handbag. 19

I grabbed my chain of keys, and headed out of my room. 20

“Love you, darling!” My mom shouted from her room.21

“Love you too, mom,” I said with not much affection.22

I opened the red door to my apartment, and walked out locking the door behind me. I skip-hopped down the stairs until I was interrupted by my nice next door neighbor.23

“Good day, Clarity,” Mr. Gorner waved and smiled to me walking out his apartment.24

“Hello, Mr. Gorner,” I smiled back with my pearly whites.25

“How’s life been treating you?” He asked raising one of his thick, black eyebrows.26

“Fairly well, yourself?” I kindly asked back.27

“Oh, great! Yes, indeed. It’s been marvelous,” He said rubbing his hand through his thick, black wavy hair. 28

His black square, framed glasses sat on the bridge of his nose, and he had the most amazing hazel eyes. His skin complexion wasn’t tan, but not pale either. He was fairly tall and slim. He was a professor at the college that was about twenty minutes away. 29

“Well, I must be on my way, Mr. Gorner. Nice chatting,” I said walking down the steps quickly.30

“Nice chatting with you, too,” He said going back in his apartment.31

I walked out of the apartment complex to the fresh morning air here in Asheville, North Carolina. The roads were semi-busy as usual, and I could smell coffee from our near by coffee shop. I walked to my car, yes I had a car. It was a black, 65 Mustang and it was my dads. My dad said I could have his car if anything ever happened, and something did. I sometimes cold smell his scent, and I felt as if his presence was right beside me. The car comforted me and made me feel safe.32

I opened the door and slid in, and put the key in and the car roared to life. I put on my pair of vintage blue aviators, and zoomed on down the street. I turned on the radio and started humming to “Lighthouse” by The Hush Sound. I stopped at the red light ahead of me, and tapped my purple coated, sharp fingernails on the steering wheel. 33

“Her love was a sailor, she went and she waited there. The door locked from the outside, lover never arrived so she sings there. Soft as a siren luring the ships off their course, how alarming,” I sang along to the song. I rested my head on the back of my seat and the light finally turned green.34

I turned off to a 7 Eleven and parked my car into a parking spot, and took the keys out and grabbed my bag. I went inside, the smell of coffee erupting my nose. I waved to the cashier, and she smiled back. I poured some coffee into a cup and added what I liked in it, and closed a top on it. I took a sip and went up to the cashier. 35

“Hey, Clarity,” Elaine Miller, the cash register lady, said.36

“Hey, Elaine. Good to see you,” I smiled giving her money for my coffee.37

“How’s school?” She asked putting the exact amount of money in the cash register.38

“It’s good. Getting excellent grades,” I said taking another hot sip of coffee. “Well, I best be off. If I don’t see you later on, I’ll see you tomorrow,” I smiled and walked out.39

I got back in my car, and started it back up and then heard a knock on my window. It was, of course, Jake. I ignored him and drove off hearing him yell, “Come on, baby! I need a ride!” 40

Jake Lawson, a pathetic asshole he is. He tried to make my heart colder than it already is. Thinking I’m like every cheerleader slut in our school, totally the opposite. Try more like modest and respectful. Jacob Lawson tries to lure every girl with his shaggy blond hair, those brown eyes, and cliché catch lines. That basically explains him. Girl hungry. Too bad I’m not his human to feed on. I actually have a brain, unlike most people in my school. Common sense is what most people don’t have these days. We are now mostly surrounded by morons. 41

I took a sip from my coffee, and looked at the clock. It was exactly eight fifteen in the morning. Won’t be early for school today, my twelfth tardy since school started in September. I’ll probably won’t get to school until around nine thirty, ten at the latest. 42

I parked my mustang on the curb, and walked into the dry cleaners. I walked swiftly to the counter, “Reign,” I said to the lady, who was obviously new here. 43

“Okay hold on a minute,” she said going to the back room. A few minutes later she came out with my mom’s laundry.44

“Thank you,” I said smiling and gave her the money-that I had earned- for the bill.45

“Have a nice day,” she said as I walked out.46

I placed my mom’s laundry in the back and started up my car, and put my seat belt on. I zoomed to the bank, everything flying by me. Flying by me like my life. It just seemed like I was five, then eight, and twelve. Now here I am at seventeen. Being controlled by what seems like a dictator. As soon as I turn eighteen, I’m out. Or at least I can’t be told what to do, but if I don’t do as I am supposed to be I’ll be kicked out. I have a little sister who needs to be taken care of. 47

My little sister is six years old, and has the most gorgeous brown, almost golden, eyes. She has auburn colored hair, and the most beautiful smile. I sometimes felt like as if she was my own. I mean I always made sure she got bathed, fed, got to school everyday, and got attention. It wouldn’t be a surprise if she thought I was her mom. I wondered if I could become her legal guardian when I turn eighteen and get my own apartment. It’s not like our mom would care, she might not even notice. 48

I arrived at the bank and gave the checks to the lady working there. I smiled as she smiled back at me, and I leaned against the back of my seat.49

“Ma’am,” the lady spoke through the intercom, “Here,” she said giving me the money. “Three -hundred fifty exactly.”50

“Thank you,” I said and grabbed the money and zoomed off to the grocery store.51

I drank the last of my coffee and turned my radio back on. I was listening to, “Dreamer” by Ozzy Osbourne. A personal favorite of mine. I put down the window and let the wind run through my hair, giving me a relaxing sensation. I kept calm and let the music sooth my mind. I just listened to the music and let all thoughts escape from my mind.52

I pulled into the parking lot of our local market, and put my aviators on the passengers seat. I parked the car and got out and walked quickly into the market. I looked at my cell phone clock, eight forty-five. I looked at the grocery list, only a few things. It should take about fifteen minutes, twenty at the latest. 53

I wasn’t too thrilled with this grocery list. Really unhealthy and unappetizing. I picked up the food my mom wanted, she gave me money for that, and I got food with my money that was healthier for my sister and I. I luckily didn’t run into anyone I know. Luke was on his shift, he didn’t really even talk to me when he worked his shift. 54

I got to the counter and put the groceries on the counter, one by one. 55

“Good morning, why you are here early,” Luke smiled, his teeth a bit yellow. He had exactly green eyes, and chin length dirty blond hair. He was semi-tall and he always smelled very good, I couldn’t really tell what it was, but it was always delicious. 56

“Er, yeah,” I said looking back at his green eyes.57

“Aren’t you supposed to be in school?” He asked concerned. I bit my lip, this is the question I hate coming to. 58

“Well…yeah..” I said and folded my arms across my chest as he scanned the items and put them into grocery bags.59

“Then why are you here getting groceries, when you should be in school?” He asked getting way too curious.60

“Why do you ask so many questions?” I said raising my eyebrow.61

“Not a morning person, are we?” He said putting the groceries in my cart.62

“Why actually I am…I just don’t like so many questions. I don’t get in your personal life, now do I?” I said clicking my tongue.63

“True,” he said with a sigh. “That will be eighty-five ninety-eight” he gave me the price of the bill.64

I pulled out my wallet, and gave him four twenties and seven dollar bills.65

“Have a nice day, Clarity,” he smiled and waved as I walked out the store with the cart. Wait? How does he know my name? Was he my personal stalker? Did he follow me everywhere? Or did I just think he didn’t know me?66

I opened the door to my Mustang and put the groceries in there as quick as I could. I slammed the door and put the cart with the other carts that were outside. I ran back to my car and started up, and put my seat belt back on and zoomed on to my apartment.67

I stopped at the same stoplight and took a breath. I could now smell the presence of my dad. The way he would smile at me when I was in the passengers side. He had the best smile in the world. He was the best dad in the world. I never really know what happened to him. My mom said he drowned when he went on that fishing trip with his friend, Paul. I don’t really believe it, there is not even real proof. I think he ran away, well in his case, just left. I don’t know why he would leave, leave without my sister and I. 68

I turned the corner and parked on the curb. I got my mom’s laundry and walked swiftly up the steps, and fit the key in the door but it wouldn’t seem to unlock. I started to panic as I felt a finger touch my shoulder, I gasped.69

“Clarity,” it was just Mr. Gorner, “aren’t you supposed to be at school?” What was he doing home, wasn’t he supposed to be giving a lecture right now.70

“I had to run some errands,” I said my back still turned to him.71

“You better not skip school,” I could hear the disappointment in his voice.72

“I’m not…I had to get my mom some things,” I said biting my lip hoping he would leave me alone.73

“Oh, alright. If you ever need my help just give me a call,” he said and I heard him walk off in the distance. I turned the key in again, and my apartment open. I ran to my mom’s room and sat the laundry on her bed. Thank god she never made me put it in her closet. 74

“Clarity!” I heard a guys voice from the doorway. The sweet voice of Kyler Krenshall. 75

I walked out of my mom’s room into the den, “Hey, Kyler. Good morning,” I said smiling my pearly whites.76

“You need help? Groceries?” Kyler was always helpful and really kind. He had extremely black hair, it was long, and he always wore it in spikes. He had a snakebite piercing, and he always wore guy liner. He really looked good in a pair of skinny jeans, and he loved wearing those red converse. He was really thin and not at all muscular. He has a very excellent personality, and I loved him as a best friend.77

“If you don’t mind,” I said politely.78

“Of course I’ll help,” He said skipping down the stairs to get the groceries from my Mustang. I went behind him, leaving a crack in the door. 79

“ So did you get up late this morning?” I asked because he usually comes around seven forty-five, it must have slipped my mind today.80

“Yeah, my brother kept me up all night blasting his video games,” He rolled his gorgeous brown eyes.81

He lived with his twin, Nathan. Nathan was just as tall as Kyler, but he had brown hair and brown eyes. He also had way different interest than Kyler. There parents just abandoned them when they were fifteen, and they kept the apartment. They quickly got jobs at a local restaurant to pay for food and the apartment.82

“Well that sucks,” I said grabbing four of the grocery bags. 83

“Majorly,” he said grabbing the same amount of grocery bags I did. I walked back up the stairs making sure I didn’t drop any of the grocery bags, and opened the door with my side. I laid the groceries on the kitchen table, as Kyler did so too.84

“Is that all?” He asked.85

“Yes,” I said looking at the clock on the stove, exactly nine forty-five. “You ready?” I said looping my arm through his. 86

“Pretty sure,” He said smiling. I closed the door behind me and locked it shut.87

“I always have loved your car,” he said opening the passenger side and got in gently.88

“Thanks. I always have too,” I said giggling. I put my seat belt on for what seems the millionth time, and started the engine to life and zoomed off to school.89

“Is Coral meeting us there?” He asked as he pulled out his sidekick.90

“Yep, she called me last night,” I said paying attention to the road.91

“Ah. How’s Kara?” Kyler asked looking at me with those innocent blue eyes.92

“She’s at school…I am assuming my granny picked her up,” I said reassuring my own self about it.93

“If you ever need any help with her, just call me up,” He said offering.94

“I know, thank you,” I said smiling.95

I turned into the student parking lot, and slid into my spot, number twenty-two. I took my seat belt off, and laid my aviators on the dashboard. I turned the engine off and put my necklace of keys in my bag. Kyler and I got out and walked to the entrance. It was turning into fall, the leaves around our school falling around us and there was a cool breeze. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I opened that red door and walked in, and the smell of my school erupted in my nose. I wasn’t a fan of the school smell, but I just dealt with it.96

“Did you write that paper for English class?” I asked Kyler as we headed up the second floor, using the elevator as the quick way.97

“Of course, you know I always do,” He said taking out his English, neon green folder from his black messenger back. He took out the paper, it was stapled and had not one cress. I read exactly all of it, approximately four pages, it was supposed to be only two. Kyler always went overboard on his papers, as so did I. 98

“It’s amazing, Kyler!” I exclaimed handing the folder back to him.99

“Why thank you,” He said putting the folder back in his bag.100

“You’re-” I was interrupted by a thud. My day just not only had begun horrible, but now extremely unlucky. The elevator broke down, this day couldn’t get any better.101

“Um, Clarity,” He said scratching his forehead.102

“Kyler…” Spots blurred into my vision, colors of all sorts, shapes of all kinds. Then I blacked out, and I fell down on the elevator floor. Kyler pushed the emergency button on the elevator, and sat beside me and held my hand. I wasn’t there, I wasn’t anywhere, I was numb.103
