New Dawn by Lisa McIntyre (red white and royal blue hardcover TXT) 📖

Chapter 1

It was a dark and stormy night.I am arora and I am 13.I have long brown hair wich I wear in pigtails and deep puple eyes. I was traviling to my Aunt Nicole's house to stay for awile. She lives in an old mantion and probly there were lots of murders there.(whitch would be realy cool :]) Well I guess I should explain why I have been sent to Aunt Nicole's house.

It was a normal school day and I was totaly ignoring my teacher. When the teacher left Dan walked over and slaped me for no reason.
I screamed at him "what did you do that for"
and he sniggered as he replied "because you are the weirdest and stupidest girl in this school" and he slaped me again.I was too quick for him and punched him right in the stomach. he winced and yelled "You asked for it arora". He ran at me and grabed me around the neck.I felt his grip tighten.I felt the air disapering from my lungs. Then a weird pulse flowed through me. I dont know what happend but when I awoke I was surowned by most of the girls in my class on the floor. Later the police came over and started asking me qustions it turned out after what ever had happend at school that day Dan had been attacked. My family thought that it would be best for me to stay with my Aunt.

Chapter 2

I arrived at Aunt Nicole's at five o'clock. To say the least she was not happy to see me.
"hmmph is this the girl" she said to the driver as she looked me up and down with a look of disaproval.I must say I did'nt think much of her either. Her gray hair was tied in a bun and her green eyes made the her look witchey.
"yes m'adam" the driver replied from the car and then he drove away.
"well get inside girl" Aunt Nicole comanded as she turned and walked through the door. I folowed her.
"well girl I have a few rules and have writen them down." she said as she lead me to the living room " now sit there and read them". I sat down and began reading.

1.Dont go in the librery
2.Dont go down the vilage by yourself
3.Dont talk to anyone who looks strange
4.Dont disturb me when I am working
5.Do not go near the third floor

I had thought thay were all boring, but the fith intreged me. What did the old lady mean. How bad could the third floor be.
"hello m..miss" I heard someone stutter. I looked up. A girl abought my age was standing there. She had short blound hair with brown highlites and safron yellow eyes.
"Hello my name is arora,what's your name" I asked. "I am safron miss not that it matters" Safron said fearfully.
"well nice to meet you Safron" I said as I put my hand out to shake her's but she looked at me like I was a murderer.
"I'm sorry miss but lady Nicole said..." Saferon said but I butted in quickly "Lady....my aunt.....hahahahahaha" and burst into laughter.

Chapter 3

I was sent to my room on the second floor. It had white wall's with a pink floral pattern.It was round abought midnight when I awoke. I heard a loud noise. I stood up and walked out of the room. I kept walking along the landing when I reached the stairs. So I started walking up them aunt Nicole's warning fresh in my mind. On the third floor there was only one door. I walked over and opend it. I walked in and the door slamed shut behined me.
There was no light in the room. I felt the fear grip me. I tried desperatly to open the door but it was no use. I started to cry. I had always had a fear of being locked in a dark room all alown. Then there was an ominous glow almost willing me to come closer. I weakly walked over to the glow. I looked at it closely, it was a creepy looking chest with a golden key sticking out. I reached out to take the key and just as it came out a voice called "no what have you done". I did not understand and was abought to put the key back when the chest burst open and......I blacked out.

Chapter 4

I awoke in my room with Safron staring at me.
"Are you alright miss arora" she asked me worridly.
"yes I'm fine Safron" I said "Does aunt Nicole know that I was up on the third floor".
"Yes I do" I heard Aunty's voice say "Safron go I need to talk to my niece in privet".
"yes madam" Safron replied nervously as she walked out of the room. For the first time my aunt had nothing to say.
"Arora what happend in there" Aunty asked. I did't think she would belive me so I lied.
"I don't remember aunty" I said. I am really good lier, it's not like I like lying but sometimes it's much easer. "Don't tell me lies arora." my aunt replied angrly "tell me how you got in the door".
"What do you mean" I said curiosly.
"The door was locked" aunt nicole told me.
"no it was not, it was open" I replied.
"hmm....I wounder....no she can't be...." aunt nicole said to her self.
"umm hello your kinda of creeping me out now" I said to her.
