THE LEGENDARY GUARDIAN PART I

Amy knew they were after her. She didn’t know who they were or what they wanted but she knew it was her they wanted. She laid in bed after that long night thinking to herself. What do they want from me? She thought. What should I do? Amy kept thinking as her aunt, Rose, and uncle, Tom, slept peacefully in their room unaware of the danger that lay ahead.

Amy was 15, she had flowing light brown hair, hazel eyes, soft red lips, and had fair skin. Her life wasn’t always as complicated. She was happy for a while until she turned 3. On July 17 1998 Amy’s parents died in a house fire while Amy was visiting her grandparents. Nobody knows how the fire started but nobody ever put much thought into it. After her parents died Amy went to live with her grandparents, Jordon and Kate. Amy considered them as her mom and dad. They were a very close family. Later a couple of days after Amy turned 10, her grandparents were shot to death while saving Amy’s life. Amy was devastated by the loss of her grandparents.

After their death Amy went to go live with her aunt, Rose, and uncle, Tom. Rose and Tom were very nice people. They did their best to make Amy feel at home. They gave her a nice new room, bought her new things, and tried talking to her to try and make her feel better, but almost nothing worked. Amy would cry in her room for hours, leaving Tom and Rose worried about her.

Later when Amy was in high school it was time for her to return to school. Amy was really nervous. After everything that had happened to her she was afraid to go back to school. Rose and Tom bought Amy all new clothes and supplies. Amy was prepared but now the only thing that worried her was what people would think of her and if she would make any friends.

On the first day of school Amy woke up early, got ready, ate breakfast, and headed out. On the bus Amy sat alone until one girl came and sat next to her. Amy wanted to make new friends but she was nervous she didn’t know what to do or say.

“Hi,” the girl said, “my name’s Emily.”

“Hi I’m Amy.” she responded shyly.

“Are you new to Washington High?” the girl asked sweetly.

“Yes it’s my first year here after my parents and grandparents died I moved in with my aunt and uncle and I had to transfer schools.”

“Oh well I think you’ll like it here. Welcome and good luck!”

“Thanks” Amy replied softly.

A couple of minutes later they arrived at school. The whole day Amy walked quietly to and from her classes. Emily introduced Amy to some of her friends and they all started to become good friends. Amy was still a little shy but at least she had friends like she had hoped.

Later at home Amy talked to Rose and Tom about her first day of school. Amy told them about Emily and some of her other friends. Then Amy went up to her room to listen to music and do homework. Once she finished she told her aunt she was going out and headed for the library.

The library was probably Amy’s favorite place. She liked going over there whenever she had time. It was a place where she could relax, think and be herself. On her way to the library Amy started to feel like someone was watching her. For a while she just ignored it until all of a sudden she started hearing noises. She looked around but nobody was there. Amy kept walking but more carefully this time. Something moved in the shadows. Amy looked and there he was. Amy jumped when she saw him. He was a tall and skinny man with pale skin, black hair and fierce black eyes. Amy stared as he stared back she was trying to figure out who the man was or if she had ever seen him before.

The man moved swiftly toward Amy. Amy saw something shine like a gun or a knife since she didn’t know who he was so she ran away from him. Amy later stopped to check if he had followed her but saw nobody. Amy then decided to go home to her aunt and uncle.

Once Amy got home she went to her room and laid in bed thinking about the man and what he could have wanted from her. She didn’t understand. For as long and hard she thought about it she couldn’t figure out who the man was or what he could want from her. The way he looked at her was stuck in her head. He stared at her with his beady eyes full of hate. She quivered at the thought of what he could have done to her. Amy didn’t want to frighten or worry her aunt and uncle so she decided not to tell them and keep her experience to herself.

The next day Amy left to school. When she got there she went to the library where she ran into Emily. Emily was a good friend she was nice to everybody. Emily had flowing blond hair, crystal blue eyes, she was a white skinned girl and had lips as red as a rose. Amy told Emily about what had happened to her the day before. Emily got nervous and asked Amy what she did, if she called the police, or if she told anybody other than her. Amy said that she didn’t want to worry anybody. They discussed it a while longer then put the situation aside. A little while later the bell rang and the girls headed to their first class. After school Amy decided to go to Emily’s house so she asked her aunt, who said yes, and they headed off. Amy felt strange walking to Emily’s house for the first time. Suddenly Amy stopped and looked around as if she thought somebody was following them.
