#Chapter1

Hey, my name's Yeimy Montoya. I'm 16 years old, turning 17 in a few months. I live with my brother Derek; he's the only family I have since our parents died when I was a child. A few days ago, we returned to the place where we were born. I wake up to the alarm on my phone every day at 5 am. Well, that was in the other city. Now that we've moved to Canada, today marks my first day at the new skating school. I head to the shower and enjoy a warm bath. After 10 minutes, I step out and put on my skater outfit. It's a sleeveless dress that forms a heart shape in the front, adorned with some stones and glitter. The neckline is also decorated the same way. Both the skirt and the top part are covered with a translucent fabric. The dress is a light sky blue.

Ready, I tie my hair into a bun and use some gel. A little makeup is all I need. Once I'm ready, I leave my room and head to the kitchen where I meet my brother.

Yeimy - Hey, Derek.

Derek - Hey, Yeimy. Let's have breakfast. We need to get to the new gym or school or whatever it's called. Today's your first day.

Yeimy - Yes, I'm excited. I want to meet my teacher and classmates.

Derek - That's great. Remember you have classes today.

Yeimy - Yeah, I know, but if you keep talking about supernatural beings like vampires and werewolves, it sounds so thrilling. I wish they were real. (When I said that, I noticed he got uncomfortable. He knows something he doesn't want to tell me.)

Derek - Yeah, true. Well, let's eat.

We have breakfast in silence. When we're done, I head to my room to get my bag and skates. I leave the house, and my brother is already in the car waiting for me. I get in, and he starts the car while we listen to music. After 25 minutes, we arrive at the skating place. I get out and enter, taking a seat in the bleachers. I put on my skates and step onto the rink. I introduce myself to the teacher, and there are already several of my classmates there.

Yeimy - Good morning, teacher.

Teacher - Hi and good morning, Yeimy. Girls, meet your new classmate and welcome her.

All the girls greet me, and I respond until a slightly older girl approaches me.

Amy - Hi, I'm Amy Smith. Nice to meet you.

Yeimy - Hi, I'm Yeimy Montoya. Nice to meet you too.

Amy - I have a feeling we're going to be great friends.

Yeimy - I think so too. (After chatting for a while, the teacher has us start skating. The hours pass by as we finish the class.) Well, Amy, I should go. My brother will be here soon to pick me up.

Amy - Alright, see you tomorrow. Oh, can I have your number so we can keep chatting?

Yeimy - Of course, just give me your phone, and I'll save my number. You can message me.

Amy - Okay, I'll message you later today.

I take off my skates and put on my shoes, leaving the gym. I spot my brother's car and smile. I get in, and he drives us back home.

AMY

I arrive at the skating rink, and we're all ready. I notice a pretty girl who puts on her skates and steps onto the rink. She greets the teacher, and the teacher introduces her. Everyone welcomes her, and she responds to the greetings. I walk over to her, and we introduce ourselves. We chat for a while before starting to skate. I've been observing her, and she's really good. Eventually, it's time to leave, and she mentions her brother is waiting. I take off my skates and change into comfortable shoes before leaving the place. I don't see her anymore, but then my brother arrives in his car. I rush over and hop in.

Amy - Hey, little brother. What's the occasion? You're picking me up?

Noah - Finished my pack duties early, and how was your class?

Amy - Good, guess what?

Noah - What? You found your mate?

Amy - Nope, silly. I made a friend today.

Noah - Huh? You already know your classmates, and they aren't friends?

Amy - A new girl came today. She's an amazing skater. But there's something strange about her. She's not like other humans.

Noah - What do you mean?

Amy - I don't know, but I'm going to find out. Give me your number so we can text each other.

We arrive at our pack's home, and I head to my room, shower, get dressed, and grab my phone. I send Yeimy a message to continue our conversation.
