In the Beginning
Bella’s POV
I stand in front of the mirror brushing my long brown wavy hair. I’m going to have to cover up my black eye before I go to school. I feel and look tired like death. My Light green eyes are not as bright and they should be. My skin is pale making my plump pink lips stick out in contrast. I can’t wait to turn 18 on Friday and leave this awful place. It’s why I work ever weekend and after school at the Keltic bookstore.
How rude of me I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Isabella Hallow. But I prefer to be called Bella. I am 17 but will be 18 on Friday Oct 31st. I am a whopping 5”3 in height and am a skinny twig due to the fact my uncle likes to starve me to show me that I am seeker then him and my cousin.
I cover up my black eye as best as I can and add a little eyeliner and mascaras so I look less dead. My Uncle usually try’s to avoid hitting my face but he was drunk last night. I put on my dark purple leggings, black tank top and top it off with my Ugg boots and black hoodie. I try to blend in and not be noticed. I leave my wet hair down to dry and pull my hood up. I quietly go into the kitchen hoping to get a granola bar and a apple for breakfast. My uncle isn’t in the kitchen yet so I fill my water bottle up and grab my foot plus some extra for lunch.
I think I’m in the clear when I hear foot steps coming.
“Why are you still her ugly” Jason says with disgust in his voice.
“I’m just leaving now” I say while heading towards the front door trying to avoid him hitting me thinking he’s a bad a*s.
I put my ear buds in and start the walk to school. Just try to be invisible, 5 more days I keep telling myself.
Damian’s POV
Why do I have to go to school. Im the f*****g demon prince. I will rule the demons with a iron fist just like my father and school just seems so boring. We moved to Salem, MA so my father can still be close to his business in Boston we can live in a family friendly place.
I throw on my dark jeans and black v neck t-shirt. I walk down stairs and grab my black and white vans. My mom is in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
“Morning mom”
“Good morning deer, I made eggs and bacon but you better eat quickly you don’t want to be late for your first day” she says with a smile
“Your happy today” I say to her.
“I have a feeling it will be a good day. Maybe you will find your mate here” she says with a smile.
My mother has the gift of foresight. So when she says things like this I know she saw something.
“What did you see mom” I ask her.
“I won’t tell you. The strings of fate can change so I want to see what happens” she says with a smile.
I roll my eyes and chuckle as I head off to my car to go to school.
