Into Darkness novel Chapter 1

Chaos.

Complete and utter chaos.

People were crying and screaming.

And I? I was running for my god damned life.

•••

20 minutes earlier...

"I can't believe we won!" I screeched and hugged my twin.

I was grinning widely and jumping up and down.

Why? You may ask.

Because I just won the annual Easter challenge.

You basically had to drop an egg from the top of the school without breaking it.

It was rather lame, but since We won, we also won 250 pounds each, so I certainly wasn't complaining.

With this money I finally could afford the motor cycle I'd been longing for and I was thrilled.

"Me neither! I can buy so much pizza with this money" Amber fake drooled and I laughed.

"You better give me some too" I teased her, lifting an eyebrow and letting her know that I'm a little bit serious.

"As long as you let me ride on your MC" She retorted with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah..." I rolled my eyes and she playfully hit my shoulder.

We were on the way home to tell our parents the news.

I smiled when I heard the birds sing and felt the sun kiss my skin.

This day couldn't get any better.

We soon arrived at our house and I rang the doorbell, waiting for either our Mia or Sandra to open.

Yes, we had two mums.

Our biological mum was 15 when she got us, so Mia and Sandra adopted us.

When no one opened, I frowned and glanced over to my sister, she was mirroring my expression.

"They're probably taking a walk or something" Amber calmed me and I nodded.

She grabbed her keys, but when she was about to open it she stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked her curiously.

"The door wasn't locked" She whispered, panic clear in her eyes.

"It's probably nothing, they just forgot to lock, that's all" I tried to assure her and myself.

I opened the door and slowly entered the hall.

"Maybe you can send Mia a text?" I suggested, I didn't want to worry Amber, but our parents never went for walks when they knew we were coming home from school.

You see, our parents worked night shifts at the hospital and they usually left for work when we went to sleep.

And by now they most definitely would have woken up.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea" She agreed and started to tap on her phone.

I froze when I heard something crash upstairs.

I looked over at Amber in panic.
