Kaycee- through the eyes's Profile
CHAPTERS AND SUCH
Hello everyone, it is me, Kaycee, that author of this wonderful book, called "Through the eyes" here is Chapter One. I hope you like it! But be warned...i'm not the kind of girl who writes about rich girls getting the guys she's been wanting for her whole life. My, well, Jenna's story ends up happy, but takes a while to get there, a long while. She has to cross the entire earth almost to find her true love...did i say earth? i meant the entire land of the living...and the entire land of the dead. Or undead.
CHAPTER ONE
It was finally a new year. The date was September nineteenth, and I was feeling great. Well, almost great. I looked at the sky as I stepped outside. The air was warm and muggy, but I expected that much after all the rain yesterday. The sky was the only think out of place. It was a strange color. It was a milky gray color. It was basically the same color of my skin. It was a strange color for late summer. Usually the sky saved it for winter. Shrugging, I locked the door behind me, and skipped down the road to school
Fall Springs was always a quiet town. Not much happened around here, and we got over excited every time something happened, even the littlest thing. That’s why the whole town was on edge today. It was really a dumb reason, I thought dully as I hopped down the street. Just a new student. No reason to be excited, or on edge. I even guessed he wasn’t interesting, but then again hadn’t met him yet.
I met my two best friends, Charlotte and Elizabeth, outside River Falls, my high school. Old names, for sure, because this was on old town. Founded by Cedirc Springs in the late thirteenth hundreds. Cedric was a hero to our town, and every year on the sixteenth of November a celebration was held for him. Him and Nickolas Falls where rumored to have warded off all evils. All the vampires. I rolled my eyes at the thought of vampires. Our town was nuts over vampires. On the Springs and Fall’s feast day, people covered their doors with garlic and put stakes in the fire and candles all around. Rituals where held and everything in the old valedictorian houses. It was nuts.
As you can tell, I don’t believe in any of this mumbo jumbo. It was a load of baloney to me. My family, having descended from Cedric Springs, was huge on the load of baloney. We held the parade and the feast. And every year, my family chose the senior Incarnation of Spring, which was always a female, and her partner, The Spirit of Fall, which was a boy. I could try out for it this year.
“Hi guys” I greeted my friends as I neared them. They both flashed smiles at my.
“Hi, Jennifer” Charlotte smiled at me, giving me a quick hug. Charlotte was the risky one in our small group. She had flaming red hair, and bright green eyes. They where a beautiful color, almost a neon lime. They where the best aspect of her face, which was flawless in everyway. Elizabeth was more timid, and way more smart then all of us. She had hair as black as the night, and the darkest brown eyes, concealed behind her glasses at the moment. Her, as well as all of us, had skin flawless as every. But their was a difference between all of us. Charlotte had rich, tan skin. Elizabeth and a creamy chocolate skin color, and it glowed in a way I was envious of. My skin, on the other hand, was a pale color, translucent and flawless in everyway. But I never tanned.
“So, how where the waves in Cali?” Charlotte asked me, eyeing my skin warily.
“I see you…didn’t tan” She cracked up at her own joke. I rolled my eyes.
“Hi Liz. How was your summer in London?” Liz shrugged slightly.
“It was really great” She started in her small voice, as we walked towards the school. “The people, all the food, the scenery.” Her gaze had become dreamy, distant as she remember her trip. “And Robert. He was amazing to” She sighed, remembering her summer love. “He had such a dreamy accent…”And she drifted off, becoming quiet in her memories. I turned to Charlotte, and that was invitation enough. She started blabbing her head of about her trip to Roma, while I just daydreamed about Lance, my own summer love. I was dreamily pleasantly as we walked into the school when my concentration was broken by a pair of yellow eyes. I paused, and Charlotte and Liz stopped abruptly in the middle of their sentences.
“What?” they asked me. I stared at the strange eyes, feeling relief when the cat moved slightly. But those eyes where…different. Not your normal cat eyes. They where a bright gold. No, not a gold. Orange. A bright flaming orange color. I could see into them for miles. The cat stared back.
“Jen, what is it?” Liz asked, shaking me. I shook me head, and the cat ran away.
“Nothing, just a cat” I said, but I wasn’t so sure of myself. After I had stared walking again, Liz and Charlotte melted back as they where before, as if nothing happened. I wasn’t sure of that either.
As I walked in the halls, every eye was on me, as always. I was greeted by the usual “Hi Jen” or, “Have a nice summer Jenny?” I usually never answer to the name Jenny. But Jen or Jenna did just fine.
I had always been the center of attention, and that was that. I had never asked for it, or tried, but it had always been like that. There was never a girl who wasn’t envious of me, and there was never a boy who wanted me. I had accepted that. But I was very unhappy. I could get anyone I wanted with a snap of my fingers. Where was the challenge in that? All I ever asked out of life was a challenge. I was in every sport I was ever aloud in, which meant soccer, swimming, tennis, softball, track, archery, cross-county, volleyball, basket ball, lacrosse, ice skating, hockey, rollerblading, skateboarding, cheerleading, even football and rugby. I had even done horseback riding. But after a year or two of doing these sports, I found they bore me easily. I was often the one scoring the most posts, running the fastest, hitting the hardest, swimming the fastest and more. They held nothing for me. They where merely wasting my time. I had gone to California in the hopes that surfing would challenge me, but no. I found that to be easy for me after all. So I had come back with the high hopes of a new student, a boy actually, to test my wit. And here he was. I had no seen him yet, but something in my gut told me he would be quite a challenge.
Liz and I walked to our first class together when I felt the strange urge to write. Liz and I had all of our morning classes together, and Charlotte and I had all of our afternoon classes together. We all had lunch together. But the need to write was compelling, so as we took our seat in Trig, in took out a tiny book from my bag, opened it to the next clean page, and started to write. I always kept my diary with me, I had had it since I started high school. I wrote in it in school and after school. It had everything, all my hopes and dreams and wants and wishes.
Dear Diary, September Nineteenth, 7:45 A.M I’m writing this while in Trig. I had the strangest urge to write. I don’t know why. I feel funny today. I feel like something bad
Whoa! Short break, sorry. That didn’t sound right for some reason, and I had to start over. I do feel funny today, but
Sorry again. I just can’t seem to find the right words for trying to explain
This is not easy for me today, I wonder what is
Okay. This is not my day. I feel absolutely frightened, and I don’t know why. Maybe I am anticipating the new guys arrival. But that is silly, why would I be afraid of someone I don’t even
I’m scared. I feel awful. I can’t describe it, I can only try. I hope it will pass. Quickly. I can’t explain, I don’t know why. I feel like something bad is going to happen. That’s all. Bye.
I slammed my Trig book over my diary just as Mr. Welsh passed me. I breathed a sigh of relief as I dropped my diary in my bag. But I was unhappy with my entry. I hadn’t thought it was going to be so hard to express my feelings. I tried hard to concentrate, but all forms of focus had been lost. I didn’t know why my heart pounded hard in my chest, my palms where sweating, and my hard was reeling. Maybe it would pass, as I wrote. But something else I wrote stuck my in the mind like a knife in my back. I feel like something bad is going to happen…I stuffed my fist in my mouth to keep from shouting aloud.
chapter two tomorrow!
