• When she woke up this morning, none of these scars were there. In one day she found out her best friend was kidnapped by vampires, her younger brother was killed by a fey, and her parents were the king and queen of a secret society called 'the protectors' that help save the world from the evil forces threatening to take it over. Well you probably want to know the whole story, so here it goes.

    Chapter 1: why me?

    Monday, November 12, 2012 7:30 AM

    "Stupid alarm clock!" Jaden slammed her hand down on the buzzing clock. It was her older brother Johnathan's birthday today. He was officially 18. He was leaving pretty soon, off to college. She was going to miss him. "Jade, sweetheart are you up?" Jade's mom, Kirsten, yelled up the stairs of their big house. "Yeah mom, I'm up!" Jaden called back. She got up and headed to the bathroom to shower. she walked in her lime green, blue, and white bathroom with a huge mirror on the wall right by the door. On the opposite wall was her shower, probably her favorite thing in there. On the left wall was the toilet and to the right was the sink. She walked in and took off her pajamas, turned the water on, and stepped in.

    5 MINUTES LATER

    She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body and hair and went to find some clothes. She walked into her HUGE closet, which her mother filled with bright frilly pink dresses and skirts. "I really have to go shopping for myself." Jade mumbled to herself. She walked to the far end of the closet to the small section of dark clothes. she picked out a pair of black skinny jeans, a white long sleeve shirt, a black and white vest, and her favorite shoes. her black pastry high tops. She threw the shoes on her bed and went to the bathroom with her clothes. While she got dressed she sang "don't trust me" by 3oh!3. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. Her hair was to blond and too long. Her eyes were an icy blue. She grabbed her mascara off the back of the sink and put some on. She decided that she looked good enough for school so she headed down stairs to eat. She turned out of her big blue room passing her dog, Pookie. She ran down he stairs and almost ran into her dad, Aden. "Sorry dad!" she said, embarrassed. She has never known her dad to fight, but the look he was wearing today made her question that. He had short brown hair and bright blue eyes. He usually wore a business suit but today, he wore gray jogging pants and a big black t-shirt. He had scratches and cuts all over his face. One of his eyes was even swollen shut. "Dad what happened??" Jaden said officially worried. "Sweetheart its nothing." Aden said. She looked at her dad one more time and nodded. He turned and went up the stairs to his room and shut the door. That is totally weird, Jade thought to herself. She turned and continued to walk down the stairs to the kitchen. She got down the stairs and smelled bacon and french toast, her favorite. "Morning mom!!" Jaden walked behind her mom and kissed her cheek. She grabbed a piece of bacon and shoved it in her mouth. "Careful honey, its hot!" Kirsten warned her she turned and brought a plate of french toast to the table and asked, "Have you seen Cain or John?" Jaden jumped up and got some plates out of the cupboard. "um, nope i haven't mom!" she said as she sat down grabbing a few pieces of bacon and a slice of french toast. She was grabbing the syrup when she herd a scream.

    "HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPP" She looked at her mom who stopped cutting the food in front of her. She didn't even think about, she knew who it was. "Cain" she mumbled half to herself. She started running down the hallway and got to Cain's room. She slowly opened the door and there he was. lying there in a pool of his own blood. There was blood all over the walls and his throat was ripped. She heard another scream in the distance, only to realize that it was her screaming. She ran to his body and held his little brown head in her lap and cried. She couldn't imagine who would've killed an 8 year old! who could? some evil monster who wasn't mesmerized by his amazingly brown eyes, his cute childish features. Just him. Her little baby brother whom was her favorite. Her cadet when they played with his army-guys. she looked up to see her mother and father standing with open mouths. She started bawling again. Johnathan came in and slowly walked across the room to Jaden and Cain. He fell to his knees and grabbed a hold of one of Cain's hands. He looked at Jaden and she looked at him. They had no idea what was going on. Their mom and dad had left. Jade looked up to see John crying to. She gave him a hug and cried harder. She felt arms around her waist picking her up, the first thing she thought of was the monster who killed Cain was coming back for her. She instinctively screamed and felt a hand over her mouth. She realized it was her father who had picked her up. He was now dressed in what looked like to her, armor and clothes from an old 'kings and queens' type movie. He threw her over his shoulder and started to walk out of the room. Even though Jade was 16 and 5' 9'', she was still small enough to get this done to her. John was walking beside their mother behind Jaden. Her mom was wearing the same type of clothes as her father. She didnt want to leave Cain. She started squirming to get out of her father's grip. He put her down, and not so gently might i add, and looked her straight in the eyes. Of course he probably look funny since he was 6' 6". "Jaden Evelyn Sydnie Schneider knock it off! You will listen to me you got it?" Jaden nodded her head slowly. "You and Johnathan are in great danger, your mother and I have to get you 2 out of here!" Jaden just nodded her head again and followed her dad as he turned and continud outside. Jaden was absolutely terrified of what was going to happen, but she had to trust her family.
