Chapter 1

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! Dumb alarm clock, I’m the only one in the house with one. Everyone else is up with the sun. There always inviting me to join them. It must be a lycan thing to get up at unholy hours and run, that’s what my family, well adoptive family is lycans. As for me no one knows what I am. Velvela my sister, or Vee as I call her, found me in an abandoned warehouse impaled on some rebar, wood, glass and other nasty stuff. She brought home and pleaded with her family for my life. Her father rushed me to the immortal hospital. They told him I was the strangest thing they’d ever seen my DNA wasn’t human, vampire, lycan or witch there was nothing in any was familiar about it to them. I was a complete mystery to them. When I was realest Dad offered I a place to stay till I fully recuperated and I’ve just never left. I don’t think that they would let me if I try to now. My brother keeps telling me “you know that thing that no one knows what it is they just know its missing well that’s you” maybe he’s right. So far the only cool thing I can do is when I’m really pissed is my eyes change. The white turn’s blood red the blue in my iris goes dark purple with a gold ring around the pupil. Freaky as hell but no real cool powers to speak of, I’m just a plain freak. Loud Banging on my door dragged me from my memories. “Get up lazy freak we’re going to be late for school”. “Matt seriously 10 more minutes its only” I looked over at the clock “7:45 shit I have to be there in 15 minutes.” His booming laugh echoes through the door. I hate Mondays, I jump out of bed smacking my thigh on the night stand cussing under my breath I put on some jeans a t-shirt and sneakers. The way I dress would make me look boring and mundane if it weren’t for my hair. He is laughing again only louder now cuz of all the smashing and banging that is associated with me getting dressed in a rush. I open the door hopping on one foot putting my other shoe on. Mat was standing there in dark jeans and an overly fitted Harley shirt. He always looked ready for the cover of Vogue not a day at high school. He was just over six foot tall and as wide as a house but all muscle. “Well Little One 6 ½ minutes left you know what that means” I know what he’s thinking and no “demerit” I sneered hoping he wouldn’t. “For you never! We’re running” he then effortlessly tossed me over his shoulder and ran out the back door to the woods. “I hate you” I whined “ha-ha sure you do, you’re not throwing up on me this time got it Little One” Little One that’s what my family called me. When I was recovering in the hospital no one know my name not even me. I had no memory of my life before Vee found me. The doctors were going to call me Jane Doe 34, so my Matt started to ask the doctor how is the Little One doing and it just stuck. And to everyone’s surprise father said to use the family last name Verr, so now I am Jane Verr. Ok I’m feeling sick now this always happens when he is goes fast I have a pathetically weak stomach. The woods that divided our property from the school’s sports field which are across the street from the school is only 6 miles. But it’s only about a 3 minute run for Matt he’s the fastest in the family. I love Matt he’s always looking out for me to the dismay of boys at school. Well no that’s not true boys avoid me I’m a freak remember! I’m only 5 foot tall on a good day. My hair is red, yes red not chestnut or copper but blood red.

We hit the fields and he put me down and we begin a human pace. “Great I feel sick lets hit the nurses office so I can bounce back home” he laughed “Not a chance you have a math test today remember, Oh wait I guess you do. You’ll do fine you studied all day yesterday in your room” I sighed “ya about that” he rolled his eyes and snorted. “Then what were you doing all day”. “Exploring the dungeon labyrinth in level 87 of immortal death3 rise of the lycan king” he smacked the back of my head “Well you’re screwed” he said as we entered the class room. “2 minutes late Miss Verr, detention and I have a hundred new problems for you to fill that hour.” Mr. Walken is the biggest ass of a teacher I have ever met. I sulked to the back of the room and sat in the chair be the window this is going to be a long day I can feel it. The tests were passed out face down and when Mr. Walken said begin I turned it over and groaned. The first was define “sin⁡α±sin⁡β=2sin⁡〖1/2 (α±β)〗 cos⁡〖1/2 (α∓β)〗” Oh my god I hate trig. So I put down the best answer I had “42” the answer to life the universe and everything. Ya I’m so failing this. Math went by slowly.

English wasn’t much better. For our semester project Mrs. Woo said since we were reading Romeo and Juliet this semester we would be also working with the theater department to present a play of Romeo and Juliet. Pukey I hated love stories. There for little bottle blonds with fake boobs that don’t live in the real world. Boy sees girl, girl sees boy. POW eternal love, just ridicules it doesn’t happen that way in the real world. Mrs. Woo said tomorrow there will be handing out the different parts; I’m so going to be sick tomorrow.

After English I had science with Vee, I told her about the play she laughed “you have the suckyest luck of anyone I’ve met.” So I smacked her arm. She was wearing a gray sleeveless shirt with forest camouflage BDU pants and WWII style combat boots. She always looked ready for the end of the world. “What where you dreaming about last night Little One?” I looked at her curiously “why?” she looked sad “you were screaming out someone’s name, seriously Little One it was scary, are you ok?” I looked at the floor I didn’t know I had been screaming out loud the last couple of months I have been reliving the death that Vee found me in at night. I still can’t see the face of the person who threw me; they must have been immortal cuz I want like 100yrd when they tossed me. Nor could I see the face of the person fighting this evil creature trying to rescue me. So I lied “I…. don’t remember...” she eyed me suspiciously so I quickly added “exactly what it was about, but I remember it was scary and weird”. She knows I am lying to her “look you know you can talk to me or anyone else in the family we want to help you and maybe remembering won’t be as horrible was you think” I got angry I felt my eyes change so I closed them and clenched my jaw. “No just getting murdered and left for dead in an abandoned building like a piece of trash… nothing horrible” I hissed through clenched teeth. ‘I’m sure there was more o your life then that a family friend, maybe a lover, you never will know if you run form it” Vee was saddened by my disregard for my passed I could see it in her eyes hear it in her tone feel it in her touch. I don’t want to hurt her but I didn’t want to remember ether. “Lover, so where are they now? Why haven’t they looked for me?” I scoffed, ok not helping so I took a few deep breathes. And opened my eyes “Look I’ll tell you about it when we get home ok” a soft hesitant smile crept across her face. I know she was thinking I was going to try to get out of telling her and I would, but I can’t deal with it here. Just what I need to get my crazy eyes out in front of like 40 humans, ya not a good idea. Closing my eyes again. After my breathing and heart rate steadied I opened my eyes just in time for the bell.

I grabbed my bag and hurried out the door to my free hour I love using it to read in the library. Oh wait, shit I have detention with teacher ass hat. So I turned and went to the math room. Mr. Walken smiled when I walked in he looked at the clock “you’re on time there’s a first for you miss Verr” ok total ass. I sat in the only open seat for this hour in the front row ugg. “Class this is Miss Verr she is joining us in this class today because she did not see fit to arrive at her own class on time.” I seriously hate this ass. I can’t wait for this hour to be over so I can go to lunch with my siblings. Matt is going to be excited about the stupid play and be on my case cuz I think it’s stupid he is such a girl, he’s totally into that whole love at first sight bull shit. Vee thinks it’s possible just not common, don’t know what Josh thinks never came up around him before. Josh is Vee’s best he’s a cool guy. He isn’t lycan though he’s a witch Father seems kind of mad about that mom just is glad Vee is happy again. The clock is defiantly broken it says its only 20 past I’m going to lose my mind sitting here. I haven’t even looked at the page of problems I was given when I sat down and I don’t care I want to get out of here I hate school. Eventually the bell rang and I ran out of that room and headed for the cafeteria.

The cafeteria was almost full my eyes quickly scanned for my family. I found them up against the back corner. I started towards them. Someone stepped in front of me and I bumped into them “Look were your going freak of nature” they snapped at me I wanted to say something to him but I didn’t I was not in the mood for this. If I looked at the stupid boy id loose it I know I would so I to just kept going like he didn’t exist. So I walked away I had made it half way to my siblings before it happened. Whoever I bumped into grabbed my arm and spun me around to glair at me. “I think you owe me an apology for stepping on my foot midget freak” oh my god this stupid boy is starting a fight over that. “I think you need to grow a brain, OH wait I her there giving them out in Oz I can sent you there if you like” I balled up my fists at my side “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!?” he yelled “WOW you need a hearing aid as well”. That did it his fist slammed into my jaw. I want sprawling backward and landed on my butt. Matt was over me before my mind had processed what happened. “You want to fight pick on someone you own side, only coward pick on little girls and weak people”. I stood up and pushed Matt out of the way “I’m not little or week he wants to fight lets go” I spit my mouth full of blood at him. He pulled his fist back but before he could throw the punch he was pushed up against a table, knife at his crotch, he pulled his fist back a little more to put more strength in his punch “do you really want to do that” I eyed the knife. Were the hell did it come from oh well I’ll figure it out later just glad I have it. He fallowed my glance “Nnnn...Ooo.” I raised my eye bow” N...n...no miss Verr” I let him go and spun around and went to the table were Josh and Vee were watching.

I practically threw myself into the chair and began inspecting the knife. It was about a 5 inch blade, the blade was back with a strange red line going from the tip down the middle of the blade to the hilt. Which had a jade hand guard, but the handle was the same strange black rock, mettle not sure which that the blade was. I looked at the blade strangely there was something familiar about the knife. “Were did you get that” Matt and Vee asked in unison. I shrugged “I didn’t know really it just kind of appeared in my hand” “weird” Josh said I just nodded and kept staring at the knife “what’s wrong?” Vee asked “there’s something familiar about the knife I can't place it and I’m not sure what it is just a feeling like I should know about it” all three of them were staring at me now. I just kept looking at the knife. “Put that away now” Josh hissed under his breath I complied but was confused. No sooner did I have the knife tucked in my pocket I was tapped on the shoulder by the schools rent a cop. “Miss Verr come with me please” oh shit this can’t be good. I looked at other people at the table for help. They looked at me concerned and Matt was secretly telling me not to lose my temper. So I got up and slung my bag over my shoulder and asked “Is there a problem Sir?”He glared and me and said “Yes we take fighting at school very seriously now please come with me” I nodded and fallowed him to the principal’s office.

I walked in and the rent a cop motioned for me to sit. The boy who hit me was there with the school psychologist she looked pissed and then I noticed behind them a real cop. Oh shit, “Miss Verr is it true this man assaulted you in the cafeteria not 20 minutes ago?” I looked at the child he looked like he wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh but that won’t help I looked at the cop for a moment and finally said “No, I stepped on his foot and he yelled I owed him an apologue, was he a jerk? Yes” “guilty” he chimed in rude little thing “but did he assault me No, if you have no further questions I would like for finish my lunch” I turned to walk away the cop cleared his though to get my attention then said “if he didn’t hit you what happed to your face then, it looks bruised and is still bleeding a bit?”shit think fast the last thing Father wants is inquisitive humans poking around our family “I fell tripping over a chair after he yelled at me I was upset and didn’t look where I was going” the stupid boy snorted I shot him a say anything and I’ll cut you look. So when the cop looked at him he looked at the floor. “I see, very well you may return to you meal if we have any more questions we will contact you at home” NO I don’t need Father finding out about this he’ll be pissed “No my mother is a lawyer and you will get no were contacting me at home, and I have told you all I know so there is no reason to further contact me, good day”. “Well we have not finished our investigation” great can today get worse “there is still the Matter of reviewing the security tapes from the cafeteria” the cop answered back. YES it can get worse I nodded and I practically ran back to the cafeteria.
Matt was waiting outside the cafeteria for me, “ so what happened” I groaned “ the school called the cop cuz that stupid boy hit me so I lied and said he only yelled at me and I was upset and tripped on a chair that’s why I have a fat lip” he looked socked “ why?? He deserved to get in trouble he had no right to hit you, what will mom say when she finds out you laid to police” Mom was a lawyer for the royal family. I smacked him “She won’t find out, and what would Father say if I had the cops snooping around? It’s for the better besides seeing him practically piss himself from fear twice today was cool.” Matt grinned “You’re probably right Father would be pissed so how are we going to explain the knife appearing if you don’t know you got hit?” I looked up at him with pleading eyes “Oh another doesn’t tell huh, how you are going to explain the fat lip”. “The same way I did to the cop...Oh shit there going to look at the security tapes” I groaned and stomped my feet like a child while waiving my fist. Matt was laughing again. “Don’t worry” he pulled out his phone and started texting someone. I smiled and we walked to history class. I didn’t know who he was texting but I knew it would solve the tape problem. We got to class a few minutes after the bell had rung. Luckily I shared this one class with Matt, “Your late but I will let you slid this time because of the commotion in the cafeteria at lunch” I smiled at the short lady behind the desk “ Thank you Miss O’Donnell”. I liked Miss O’Donnell she was sweet and seemed to truly enjoy teaching, I couldn’t say the same for Mr. Walken the only thing he enjoyed was making me miserable .History went by faster them any of my other classes today.

The bell rang and I met Josh outside history class we shared our last class together. Art was by far my favorite class. We had sketching this semester and it was a wonderful out let for my feeling especially about my weird dreams of late so the piece I had been working on was the warehouse I was found in and the two people battling over my lifeless body. One to kill me and one to save me but I had no faces for ether. When Mr. Stanly asked about the people not having faces I told him it was depicting good and evil which are faceless power of fate he fell for it. If he only knew the truth. I’m sure the school psychologist would be in here analyzing and labeling me so fast your head would spin. Josh was working on a picture of Vee. She was walking on a beach with the wind blowing around her and the sea had dampened her cloth, it was beautiful. Art ended much too quickly and the bell rang, Time to head home so I walked to the car to meet up with Vee and Matt.

Vee had driven my car not a shocker it had rained last night and was to wet for her Ferrari. I climbed into the Jeep. I loved my Jeep wrangler sierra limited it had the off road tires towing package five point harness metal reinforced seats the whole nine yards. It was useful and practical unlike a red Ferrari which only is good for impressing rich snobby I’m better then you boys. I started to wonder were my siblings were it wasn’t like them to be late. Just then Josh rapped on the window startling me. I hit the button opening it “Why is Matt seducing the office secretary?” huh what? Oh wait I get it “So she won’t notice Vee messing with the tapes in the security office behind her” we both laughed “ah leaving no physical evidence of your crimes?” I looked at him shocked. “My crimes!! He hit me remember?” he laughed again “Yes but you brandished a weapon at school, whatever happened to the knife?” I thought for a moment “My hand was on it in my pocket when the rent a cop got me but by the time I stood up it was gone. It vanished just as strangely as it appeared.” He was staring at the sky. “I’m gonna ask some of my friends form the different guilds about summoning weapons, maybe you’re a witch or a mix of something and a witch. That would explain the summoning thing.” Josh was set on figuring out what I was for some reason. I just accepted that I was different and would never know. Just then Vee showed up. “Where is Matt I thought you were together?” I asked when she reached the Jeep. “He’s coming I got done deleting the tapes before he hit first base.” She was suddenly hit in the back of the head, and Matt snarled at her. Everyone laughed, they climbed in and we said goodbye to Josh and headed home.

We arrived home, and I went straight for the stairs, I still had to finish level 87. But Vee beat me to the stairs. She looked at me and I knew exactly what she wanted. “I’m not really in the mood to talk about it after what happened’ Wrong thing to say. Dad was looking at me now. “What happened to your lip Little One?” he sounded upset so I tried to bull shit him, “I stepped on a guy’s foot and he got mad and yelled at me, so I was upset and tripped on a chair and busted my face.” I crossed my fingers and hoped he believed me. I don’t think he did he was looking at me funny. He looked at Vee and I shot her a pleading look. “Josh thinks she may have some latten magic abilities, because of what she’s not telling you.” Dad looked back to me. ‘When I got pissed at him yelling at me, I pushed him up against the table and a knife just appeared in my hand. I don’t know where it came form or were it went after. It was really weird.” I gave Vee a, I so hate you look. Now dad was looking at me in shock, “Can you summon this knife again so I can see it?” “I don’t know but I’ll try.” Not sure how this whole summoning thing worked I closed my eye and thought about the knife for a moment. When I opened them my hands were still empty. “Sorry I don’t really know how I did it the first time.” He seemed to understand. “Why don’t you two go upstairs you’ve have a long day, don’t worry Little One we’ll figure it out. Maybe you’re gifted after all” He smiled at me. I took the out and pushed past Vee and ran to my room. I booted up my computer and loaded my game. I loved to play it helped me relax and distress for the day.

I had been playing for about 2 hours or so when Velvela walked in. “We’re at home” she stated, and starred at me expectantly. Seriously she threw me under the bus with dad for not telling her and she’s at it again. How bad was I screaming? “I was dreaming about the night you found me ok” I blurted out to make her go away. “So who is Logan?” I looked at her and blinked like a dumb blond “who? Wait? What?” she walked over and sat on the arm of the chair. “I said earlier you were yelling someone’s name and that’s the name you were yelling so who is he?” I tried to remember that night she found me, my dream, or anything before Velvela but there was nothing. “I don’t know I can’t remember, I don’t even recognize the name?” I felt sad like I was betraying this person, I’m horrible he tries to save me and I can’t remember him. She gave me a sad look and left. I threw myself on the bed and silently cried. This is exactly why I don’t try to remember or want to remember. I’ve lost people I cared about; hurt them, and forgot them like they never existed. I’m so going to hell.
