How It All Began: Chapter 11

 Adrienne began stuffing the bandages, peroxide and other medical supplies in her bag. She purposely kept her eyes downcast so Jinx couldn't see her bright pink cheeks. What's this weird feeling? she thought. Jinx glanced away, his tail fluffing up
 "Um Adrienne...." he began. Right then the bell rang. Yelping, Adrienne got to her feet.
 "GOTTA GO JINX I PROMISED LOLA I'D MEET HER BEFORE LAST PERIOD!"
 Jinx's ears drooped slightly "Oh um yeah see ya later." he mumbled softly. Adrienne tore through the halls her black hair flying, as she rounded the corner she smashed in to someone. A groaning Adrienne fell to the ground.
 "Hey!" she spat.  A boy stood there rubbing his forehead, his electric blue eyes flashing. It was Ryan Barbotti. The dark haired boy started to say something, but then shook his head realizing it wasn't every day cute girls ran into him. Deciding to make the best of situation, he gave Adrienne his most winning smile.

How It All Began: Chapter 10

 "Hey, Addy!" Ria yelled across the hall. She started running towards her when she saw her at the lockers. She was excited to tell her about the new clothes she purchased at the store with Lilly, but she stopped short when she saw Adrienne already talking to someone. She switched from running, to walking.
 A girl with long blonde hair and cat ears with a tail wagging furiously was talking nonstop to her,"And so I was like NO WAY! And he was all like YES! And I was just like BEEP BEEP BEEP- YOU'RE CRAZY!!!" And they both started laughing. Adrienne was laughing? Wow. Ria had managed to smuggle out a laugh every once in a while from her, but she was surprised that someone else could get one from her.
 "OH MY GOSH, SERIOUSLY?!" then she burst into laughter.
 "YES! I couldn't believe it! And when I went to band rehearsal that night and told them, they all freaked! So we had a HUGE blowout! It was the craziest party EVER!"
 "Wow! I wish I could've been there!"
 "Too bad you weren't! We totally could have pigged out on Pizza!"
 "I know, right?"
 Then Ria decided she would try coming into the conversation."Hi, Adrienne! Who's your friend?" she said, eyeing her suspiciously.
 "Oh, hey Ria! This is Lola."

How It All Began: Chapter 9

 Carter Rochon walked into school. She smiled and walked through the halls to her locker. Her skirt bounced as she walked, and so did her hair. She smiled to all who walked past her. she opened her locker and got out her books. As she started to go to her magic history class, she noticed a dark, menacing girl.

 She seemed... Scary. Or maybe she was just having a bad day and looked mean. Although she saw a few bandages on her arms as if she had just gotten out of a fight. She seemed much different than other people at the school. Well, she was determined to meet her anyhow.
                         

How It All Began: Chapter 8

 He was running through the forest as fast as he could. He knew that if he wasn't quick enough, she would die. He had this funny feeling. It was weird. It was warm, but it made his stomach do flips, and he felt as though he would puke. It wasn't fear, although he was afraid of her death, it wasn't anger, and it most definitely wasn't happiness... But that was what made it all the more crazy. He didn't think it was happiness, but when he got the feeling, although he felt sick, it made him smile. The feeling only happened when he was around the girl. He made himself stop thinking of his own silly whims and emotions, and focus on the matter at hand. His best friend was going to be killed, unless he found a way to save her. He ran and ran and finally made it to her house. By the sound of her scream, he ran so fast he thought he flew to the house. He barged the door open, and ran upstairs. He kicked the bedroom door open, and froze in terror at the sight he saw. She was pinned to the wall with a knife, and the man was about to kill her.

 He screamed,"ADRIENNE!"

How It All Began Chapter 7

 Blake's eyes fell to the floor "Mr. Millet"? he thought sadly. It hurt him deeply that Ria couldn't remember her own father. He knew it wasn't her fault, and he knew that she SHOULDN'T remember him, but the formal words stabbed him straight through the heart.
 Shaking his head his hair flew away from his eyes and looked into a pair of eyes so much like his own. "Ria eh? You must be one of Adrienne's friends from school right?"
 Ria was slightly taken aback his eyes looked just like hers large and dark. "Ummmm well something like that...." Ria murmured trailing off, staring into his eyes, mesmerized.

How It All Began: Chapter 6

 Blake opened his eyes. He saw two ceiling fans above him, wait, no, it was just one and he was seeing double. He focused a little better and saw that he was in a small room that had a bed, a side table with a pitcher of water on it and some bandages, and a chair. He sat up, well tried, but was forced to lay back down because of the jolting pain coursing through his body. Where am I? I thought I was dead... He then started to remember what happened last before he died. Well, he thought he died. He flew into an upright position even though the pain was immense and started frantically looking around as if Lucy would just appear if he thought hard enough. Lucy! Lucy!!! Lucy was the only thought in his mind when all of a sudden, a women opened the door and came in. She gasped when she saw him sitting upright in bed looking as if he was in a panic.
 She ran over to him and pushed him back into bed as gently as possible while still being firm,"No! You must stay in bed!"
 It wasn't much of a struggle because he was so weak, but he still gave every ounce of energy into getting up to find his wife. "Lucy! Lucy! Lucy! Lu-!"

How It All Began: Chapter 5

 The alarm clock was going off. Ria lightly pressed the button to hush it and slowly arose from her bed. She smiled as she pulled open her pink curtains and light fled into the room. She got dressed and skipped downstairs.
 "Good morning, Mother!" she sang as she took a seat at the table.
 "Good morning, sweetie! Did you sleep well?" her mother asked while setting a plate that had blueberry pancakes on it.
 "I did! Thank you for asking. May I have the orange juice, please?"
 "Sure thing." she passed it over to her,"I was wondering if you could help me paint the walls in the kitchen today. Are you up for it?"
 Ria swallowed,"Oh, Mom, I would love to, but I told Lily that we could go shopping after school."
 "Well, alright."
 "But I can come back and help afterwords!"
 Her mom smiled,"No, that's OK. You just go have fun."
 She smiled, kissed her mom on the cheek and grabbed her backpack,"Thanks, Mom!"

How It All Began: Chapter 4

 He heard the clip clop of guards walking up to his cell. Blake sat up and ran over to the steel metal bars of his cell, approaching the guards.
 "Where is Lucy?!"
 "You'll see her soon enough."
 "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"
 *silence*
 Then he regained his composure (from which he had lost a few moments in his panic) and replied ever so calmly,"If you hurt Lucy, or either of my daughters, I will kill you all."
 "Promise me."
 He was slightly taken aback from this odd response to a death threat,"What?"
 "Do it. I dare you. Only then will the council see just how terrible we all know you are."
 Blake couldn't help but lose it just slightly, he growled and shook the bars as if they would break if he tried hard enough. "WAIT!" he yelled at the retreating guard," I'll make you a deal."

How It All Began: Chapter 3

  Ria skipped towards class pulling Adrienne along by the arm, Adrienne who was getting even more agitated squirmed trying to jerk her arm free.
   "OMG ADRIENNE!!!!" Ria suddenly squealed snatching the raven haired girl's school schedule "WE HAVE HOMEROOM AND 4 OTHER CLASSES TOGETHER!!!!" her voice rose in pitch with delight. Adrienne, who had wrenched her arm free, raised her eyes to the heavens Oh why me she thought horrified. Ria grinned with delight, babbling on about how they'd be besties forever and just like sisters and blah blah blah. Then it happened, the volcano erupted or perhaps the storm rolled in is a better comparison. Adrienne's electric blue eyes flashed and her voice lowered three octaves as she howled, "SHUT UUUUUUP!!!!!" A bolt of lightning flashed responding to her anger. Ria stumbled back her voice cut off and she looked at Adrienne completely emotionless. She had never been exposed to that level of anger.
