Burning with no choice but sadness
The scent calls me in
I listen to then calling
Chiming their symphony of hate

Dew wets the grass
I walk a deadly path

Slipping through the trees
I do it all with ease

There stood before me
Is the prey that I desire
Now I feel the hunters fire

I circle closer
Keeping him in sight

I circle closer
don’t want him to put up a fight

I take my fill
I leave him still

I am the hunter
And my job is done


I use to have an ordinary life until the accident , after that I started to see things it started when I got out the hospital bed since then I have never been alright .

I still remember some parts of what happened in the hospital , I was delirious and manic.
I mainly remember after , pratically all of the nurses refused to go near me . When I got back to school , people avoided me , apart from my best friends.
Turns out jennifer , the school evil barbie queen was visiting a relative and heard the commotion. So decided to investigate.
She saw me in my "crazy" state and decided it was the perfect opportunity to sabotage my popularity and reputation.
She videoed me on her brand new touch phone,haha, she made a bad mistake.
When I got back to school she was showing the video to everyone , so I walked up to her and punched her in the face .
Whilst she was fussing over her nose , I grabbed her phone and smashed it .
I was suspened for a week but my mum thought she deserved it.


People still like me but think I'm a bit dangerous , my friends still like me and the guys like me because I'm 'HOT'.

Still people try to stay away from me , it's good if me and my friends want cuts in the dinner line but I hate it when people talk and point at me .
It actually makes me really angry.
My temper ,sleeping habits and other things changed.
Like i use to be quite shy and sweet but now I have a
vicious streak and a horrible temper .
I also prefer to be alone , sometimes because I don't know why but people know my temper and leave me alone . My mum still want to move , she says it will be good for me but I doubt that Knowing me I will scare the people off not become friends with them .

But still my mum wants to move to the place I was born, Bear Creek. With this man called Kent, she said it will be good for me .Anyway it will be good to be away from all the bad memories. I think.

“SAFFIE, ARE YOU PACKING UP?”YELLED MY MUM. My mum’s a nice person , she has pale blonde hair like moonlight and green eyes like emeralds, she’s quite tall and skinny and has a glowing tan. I hardily look like her I have midnight black hair, eyes like dark moonstone and a china white glow .

I’m not tall or very strong , I’m small and delicate. Also I have tiny hands with pinkish nails. I sighed. I really do wish I was like my mum.
My mum calls me her little porcelain doll , because of the way I look and because I'm below the average height everyone I know is smaller than me.I'm not the really small type , I'm about five foot six I think .
My friends also think I'm like a doll because my face looks like one and also because of my eyes.
The white silver colour makes them look glassy , my eyes are my own.People say I have witch eyes...


My mum has a great personality but she’s quite bossy well she’s use to being in charge and having competition but at home it’s easy so she act too bossy

“SAFFIE ARE YOU PACKING UP?”

“Yes ,I heard you the first time as well ” I REPLIED UNTRUTHFULLY once again . I have never been good at lying , or telling the truth . I’m not good at much

“WELL I CAN’T HEAR PACKING!”
ops ,
I had forgotten about packing my last things away because I was too busy thinking about my mum and me .
we are so different , I think I look like my dad but that doesn't really happen in girls , girls usually look like their mum but in my case I’m DIFFERENT .
I always have to be different from everyone else
I just wish I would fit in. I might fit in my new school but I doubt it.
I have a wild temper and am devilish.

I grabbed the box and shook it .It was empty .
I sat on the floor and looked under my bed and dragged out my keep sake safe .The safe was blue and had a white wolf howling at the moon , It was a birthday gift.
I lifted the safe onto the bed and the bed groaned with excess weight.
Then I flopped on my bed and began to enter the code.I began pulling all my old things out such as old projects such as my wooden airoplane , I looked at it and remembered when I had started making it and when I made a new enemy ...

I was tweleve , we were making the wings , I had already done that bit and i was helping other people .
As I was looking round I saw that jennifer's wing was cut in the wrong shape and she was talking to her friends at the other side of the classroom .
So I walked up to her and asked if she wanted any help because she had done it wrong.
Her face changed into a bright red and she shrieked at me and yes , stomped her foot.

Jennifer hates to be proved wrong, so she cheats.

I carried on pulling more stuff out and looked at my perfect technology projects , I have always been good at making things .
I carried on to dig further into my safe I had pulled out lots of things already.
I pulled out my most precious medals such as my first gymnastic medal and most recent , my first beauty paegent and most recent , my.... and it goes on .

I pulled out my photos in the old ones I had a massive grin but in the new ones I smile halfheartedly .

I placed the photos the the edge of the bed near my foot and then I noticed there was a massive spider on my foot , I swayed my foot to the edge of the bed and began to shake my foot to get the spider off.

Then the only photo of dad fell on the floor , I stopped shaking my foot and looked down .I climbed off the bed and sat on the floor , I began to collect the photos and my stuff to put back in the safe. I looked agian at the photo ,my mum doesn't even know about the photo .
I grabbed it and slung it back in the safe.
The image of him stuck in my mind .

He has dark swirls of black hair , has a golden tan and eyes like a whirl pool .

Then I remembered my diary , I stuck my hand under the rug looking for it and whilst I was searching something caught my finger.

I froze----------and then lifted the rug up to see what it was, I sighed in relief , it was only a loose floorboard .
But protruding from under the floorboard was an envelope.

I crouched towards the floorboard and cautiously lifted it up.

There was a small parcel labelled to me, Saffron Rosalleena Halligan well almost I didn’t recognise the last name because my last name is Elliston and my mum never married. Well supposedly never married .
But I think she may have married because she wears a large opal diamond ring on her left hand.
I thought for a while , and then reached for the envelope ,should I open it?
I examined it from all the angles and noticed it said
open on february the 14 in 2012.

I shook it and heard a jingle , I wonder what is
inside ?

I looked arond my room and noticed how messy it was.
My room is decorated to the best abilaty I could decorate it .
The walls are blue and from the four points of the room are dark veils which meet in the centre of the ceiling .The curtains are made of the same fabaric but is layered with other colours so they become darker. The carpet is silver and everything in my room ranges from the colour dark purple ,silver,gray and blue .

I can still remember the horific room I had before , my mum decorated it .
The carpet was hot pink , the wallpaper was giant love hearts coloured hot , light and dark pink , the plain walls were cream , my curtains were veils which served no purpose because they didn't work!
The bed sheets were also pink , my furniture was pink and I forgot to mention I HATE PINK !

I had that terror of a room for two years.

I looked back at the floorboard and yelled

“MUM the floorboard has come loose,”

“Saffie don’t open the envelope I’m coming!”


I thought to myself why is that envelope there and why was it labelled to me and how does she know about it because I didn't metion it.

And why is my mum telling me to not open it, but most of all how does she know there is an envelope there .
My mum says I do too much thinking.

“because your not ready to open it !”
I jumped out of my seat , I really wish she didn't do things like that , I still remember an incident when I was twevle.

I was going to the cinema with a boy called jack , my mum didn't know but that night I was sleeping at my friend Garnet's house. I had told garnet I would be late because I was on a secret date and I asked her not to tell anyone .

So I left , I met jack at the cinema and we went to watch a comedy , everything was going well , I was slurping my drink when suddenly someone grabbed my shoulders causing me to spill the drink all over jack's pants , he looked furious and he stormed out of the cinema. Turns out my mum found out , I have no Idea how but still It freaked me out.

Things didn't go out well for him , well in a way it did but turns out the boys he had being trying to impress were outside and the jokes have never stopped . And how it turne out good , heard of the dork who always wins mathmatician or the year , that's him , he decided to give up football and try out for the maths team , eww.


My mum has always been good at creeping around and finding things out .

I didn't even hear her go up the stairs and when I go up the stairs it makes an awful racket even if I’m being careful .


“mum I really wish you didn't sneak up ,”
“Saffie it’s what I do I have to sneak up on people , especially people who are wanted , its not like I’m going to make a racket so they run off am I?, also I like to sneak around because you might be hidding something ”

“well I suppose your right , but just don’t do it to me , please don't , anyway I have nothing to hide,”


“I cant promise that , hahaha like you had nothing to hide when you were twelve ” her eyes shifted to my diary , and she smiled her dazzling smile then I knew she was up to something

“honey bun , what's that ?”her long delicate finger shifted and pointed at the book , she smiled again .

“none of your business, its private !”
I shifted my eyes back to my dairy and it was gone .
I turned around , she was holding it fussing at the lock , I gritted my teeth , when she saw that she slowly put my diary down .

She slowly backed away then turned for the door and ran down the stairs .
I decided to not to chase after her today I wasn't in the mood and I REALLY wanted to pack everything away .
I walked to my bed then saw the envelope still there , she had forgotten it because she was so engrossed in my diary .

Yesss, She had forgotten to pick it up . I picked it up and rattled it their was a little jingle, I turned the envelope around and looked at the front again , it was dated for my sixteenth birthday , which is only 2 weeks away
February the fourteenth .maybe I should open it after all it might be something good .

“Don’t you even think about opening that!”
I SCREAMED

“It’s only me, I’m sorry but you’re not allowed to open that parcel,”

“YOU SAID YOU WOULDN’T DO THAT!”
I looked at her with a weary tired face

Honey go relax I’ll finish your room, ok,”

“thanks mum ,”

I walked down the stairs , I walked into the living room.
The room looked bare all their was a fold out chair and my portable DVD player .
The only disc I had with me was eclipse. It’s all made up.
In real life that wouldn't happen because vampires don't exist nor do werewolves nothing like that exists.
Angels, devils, all mythical monsters .
Mythical stays mythical.
I sat on the chair and put eclipse on …

I woke up, the DVD was at the start menu, the moon was at it fullest and clouds swarmed round the sky.

“ I have always felt awake and full of energy when the moon is up, I also feel like that when it ‘dawn.


I felt bursting with life, I leaped off the chair and rushed out the room but to only stopped by my mum…

“Saffie, time to go, “she said sweetly

She gave me a gently nudge to the door, I took a deep breath and opened the door.

The moving van was large and a gleaming white colour, the back door had been closed and the engine was off.

I walked down the steps carefully trying not to slip on the ice, I treaded along the grit covered path very carefully and jumped into the van.
My mom did the same and began the long 12 hour journey .
I looked behind me and took the last glimpse of the city I was leaving behind .
I would defiantly miss the noise and the big buildings but most of all I would miss my friends ,who were crazy enough to be my friends.
I would miss Lilith, Rudi, Mary and garnet. Lilith always gets her way she is very demanding, passionate, she has golden hair like sunlight and grey eyes , she has always stood out from the crowd , she always wears bright colourful summery things .
She is like the sun she will never be toned down completely .

The only thing cold about her is her eyes but apart from that she is your usual Barbie doll cheerleader.
I’m on the cheerleading squad well I’m not now because I’m moving but I was the only girl on it who didn't have either natural or fake bright blonde hair .Cheerleading was quite fun , I’ve done it ever since I was five .

What most people don’t know is that I did gymnastics karate and beauty pageants .
I have won thousands of beauty pageants and gymnastics competitions.

Lilith did try out for karate when she was eight but she didn't like it , I started when I was five and I am black belt tenth degree , that is the highest belt you can get .

Rudi is quite gentle and shy but he is very manipulative he has a certain animal like personality.
He is tall and muscular , but he has these soft brown eyes which make him seem so innocent .
when I first met him when I was six ,he was being bullied by some older kids but I went up to them and sorted them out. People won’t dare do that anymore because he is on the football team and does boxing he has grown up to be quite frightening when he wants to be. He is About six foot five in height.

He mainly hangs around with me because I like some of the things he does , sometimes if the weather is nice we go surfing on the weekend .

But apart from that he will do other things but he draws the line at going shopping , well it depends what we are shopping for , he mainly shops online .

Mary is unusual , she has golden honey brown hair and soft blue eyes.
The way she dresses doesn't go with how she looks but we like her for who she is .She wears blacks and greys mainly , it’s like she is on a shade only colour code , she looks nice though.

The way she acts is weirder she can talking none stop for one minute and the next she can be zoned out in a trance silently, Its like she is a witch , once this boy was being mean to her and she wished he would become ill and the next day he was, it's not coincidence it happens all the time.

Garnet seems more , I don’t know, she doesn’t seem normal it’s like she’s in the larger picture.
She dresses like a normal person but the things she’s into is completely weird , she believes in werewolves , witches, ghosts, vampires , angels, demons , gods , goddesses , shapeshifters , physics and it goes on .
She says to me that I live a lie and that I will become a monster.
I once said to her if they are real how come books are prouduced without trouble but she just said It's out of their league but it makes them feel uncomfortable .

Things like that bring up bad memories , because when I was young my mum took me to see some of her relatives and whilst she went to the local shop , her mum tried to kill me because she believed I was Spawn of Satan himself and that I should burn for all eternity , she locked me in the shed and set fire to it luckily my mum came back and saved me ever since we have never visisted.

I don't really care what garnet says it's her beliefs but I sometimes respect it but once I've had enough , I have had enough she knows when to draw the line.

I thought about my friends and how much I would miss them .
My thoughts were interupted by the unlady like roar of my stomach. Shhhhhhh stomach , I'm thinking!

The eerie silence was disrupted by my mum laughing

"what's so funny?"

"you , I guess it's time to stop by MCdonalds,"

I nodded a reply and she turned left in the car.
The car stopped and pulled into MacDonald's and my mum turned to me and sweetly said “are you ok honey , would you like anything to eat ?”
“yes please , erm can I have a chicken and bacon deli with medium fries and erm chocolate milkshake and a dairies Mcflurry .”I smiled at my mum and she nodded in approval
“aren’t you going to have anything else , you have hardly ordered anything compared to what you usually get .”


“no thanks , I’m not that hungry , are my friends aloud to visit when after we have everything sorted ?”

“we’ll see , maybe in a couple of months , hey you might make some new friends ,”

“I doubt that , are you finished because it’s late and we have to get there soon .”
My mum chucked the rubbish in the bin and we set off.


I watched the buildings pass by row after row until we turned down an isolated road into the countryside
we finally got to bear creek , I slept most of the way .
I stared out of the window and saw the sun low on the horizon saw row after row of pine trees populating the area like fallen leaves after a storm.
I stared closer and saw a pair of glowing amber eyes filled with curiosity.

The car carried on moving and the eyes disappeared .
we pulled up to a gravel lane and drove up behind the forest lead a four story house .The walls were pale cream and the windows were glazed a dark grey ,there were glass sliding doors at the front and wide windows.

Our car drove right to the top and parked in the grey garage.
I walked out of the car carefully minding my step.
We walked up to the house and waited. My mum turned to me then squeezed my arm and looked in my eyes and waited for my approval. I nodded my head and reached for the door bell. DING DONG.I heard foot steps .
The door opened and revealed ...

A man with swirls of thick black hair styled up with a golden tan and brown eyes like whirl pools pulling you in.

My mum smiled, and said" hello Kent"
for once she actually looked purely happy.

I didn't know what to say , I just rudely stared.

"er, do you want to come in or do you want to stand there all day?"
I snapped out of my staring mode and laughed.
we walked in, the house was stunning it was sleek and modern. The walls were pale cream , the floors were black marble.

The thing that most caught my eye was the grand painting near the double stair case.
It was a large painting of a snow white wolf with dark moonstone eyes and a pitch black wolf with glowing amber eyes, howling at the mesmerising moon.
The amber eyes seemed so familiar, like I knew whose eyes they were.
A hand was placed on my shoulder, I turned around. Kent was staring at the picture.
"It's a beautiful painting isn't it ?"
I nodded in agreement.

The echo of silence was cancelled out by my mum saying cheerfully
"enough chit chat , lets get unpacking,"


"saffie would you like me to show you to your room ?"
kent quickly said

I nodded and smiled
