chapter 1

It was a cold winter night. There was not a soul to be seen around. It was peculiarly silent. I looked around for some sign of life. Suddenly there was rustling of leaves I turned around to see but it was too fast. I came back to my position and saw there was a man standing in front of me. I was dumbfounded by his beauty and charm. He came closer to me. Something about him was deadly but at the same time very mesmerizing. I kept staring at him. He was a mile away from me , I just blinked and he was right in front of me. I looked into his eyes. They were black. He was looking back at me. He was looking at me like I was something to eat. I felt something was not right, so I ran as fast as I could. I looked back to see if he was chasing me. He was nowhere to be seen. I felt relieved. I was looking back only when I bumped into something and I fell. when I looked up, he was there looking at me confused. He bent down whispered in my ear "you are mine."

Then he picked me up and was carrying me I was screaming and shouting "leave me!! " When I saw he was not affected by it I screamed for help.

I suddenly felt some one shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw my mother looking at me with concern. my mom asked me "what happened honey?" I replied "nothing just a bad dream." She was still asking me if something happened and she should sleep with me but I tried to convince her that nothing had happened , it was just a bad dream and to go back to sleep in her room she didn't look convinced but did as I asked.

It was 4 in the morning there was still 2 and a half hours for me to wake up but I wasn't able to sleep. The dream was very disturbing. I wanted to change my mind so I took my phone and headphones and headed outside the house with my kit and an extra pair of clothes so I could change there only and go for college. I wrote a note to my parents that I was going for practice.

I headed out of the house and went jogging to the ground when I realized I was still in pajamas. I was going to turn back when I remembered I took the clothes with me.

I was on my way when I felt that someone was watching me. I looked around but there was no one. I then shrugged and thought it was maybe the effect of the dream and ran to the ground.

when I reached there my coach was already there and was warming up. I then went to change to shorts and my jersey. I took my hockey stick and went to him. He saw me and was surprised he asked "what are you doing here this early? " I replied "I just couldn't sleep so I thought I'll come early and practice " he said "oh, okay then. Start taking rounds. Actually good you came early I need to talk to you about something." I asked him "yes sir what did you need to talk about " he replied "you know that we our matches coming up and I want you to lead our team." I was confused because we already have a captain so I asked "but then what about Rach and I think she is more capable then me in doing this job."

Rachel Monera is my best friend and I don't know why but I think if I take this position I will betray her. In fact she is my only true friend and I don't want to lose her. Then sir asked me "do you trust me and my judgement?" I replied "absolutely, sir" he told me to go start jogging and I started immediately.
