My OCs Look is based off Actress, Nina Dobrev. The video is this books trailer!

Also I am re-editing this book and I changed the OCs name from Holly to Hazel. So if you see the name Holly in any edited chapters, scream at me.

•~••~•

Sighing with boredom that covered the sadness that I truly felt. I enter the same old building that I have been living in for the past 2 years of my life.

I am aged 17 and soon to be 18 in a couple of months, I don't like my birthday and I haven't celebrated it since the Mission City 'Terrorist' attack.

A lot of people ask why and it is simply because the day I lost everything, was my birthday and it didn't help that I knew it wasn't a terrorist attack. That just made the idea of it, hurt more.

I saw them...Creatures... Red eyed Robotic monsters. They are monsters. They ruined my life and killed everything I loved.

They have destroyed me and no one freaking believed me.

I never have been adopted and I am not planning on it either. I don't want another family, just for them to leave me in the end. I am not letting some random stranger just take over my life and replace my family. That is not happening. It won't happen.

I purposely cause trouble in the adoption centre and act rude in front of the adopters so they won't choose me. It has worked so far and Maybe it isn't the nicest way to treat people that only want to help me, but I didn't want their help...I didn't deserve it.

Plus the old lady that runs this place literally hates me and pretty much just threw me out 20 minutes ago for bad manners. Told me to go get a life instead of being a spoiled little girl, which made my teeth grind in anger. I wasn't 'spoiled' and I wasn't 'little'.

I looked around the empty room I entered, the toddlers that run around here must be having lunch time and I was so not for that.

It doesn't help that I am the oldest child here. The rest are between the ages of 1-14 years of age. None of them talk to me and I know it is because I keep to myself, but I like it that way...

You can't get hurt if you don't let anyone in.

"Hazel Lee Thomsan Get here and have some lunch!" A screeched voice boomed towards me. Obviously very over the fact that I still existed to annoy her.

Ignoring the womans demand, I scurried up the old wooden steps that creaked every time you stepped on them. I headed to my 'room' and face planted into my 'bed' with much attitude. Maybe I am being childish, but maybe I'm just not in the mood for food either.

Closing my eyes, I hoped to drift into a peaceful sleep. For it to be ruined inatantly when I heard footsteps run into my room and the bell of the front desk ringing.

"Get up! Get up! Adopters are here Hazel!" There I have it. 4 year old children bouncing on the end of my bed, there were about 6 of them.

All I wanted to do was sleep.

I groaned in annoyance. The kids knew this pissed me off and did this purposely to just have a good reaction from me.

"Stop it!" I yell at them in bitterness. Lifting my head off the pillow, I glared at the children with a fierce look of hatred, making them simply giggle and run off.

"Hurry up slow poke!" One screamed while laughing, her light footsteps easily heard as she ran down the steps.

"ugh! I am coming!" I will happily deny the fact that I moved faster because of the childish insult. No my feet defiantly did not move faster at all.

I didn't bother to change. Not caring about my messy hair and clothes that needed re-adjusting. It wasn't like I would be picked, people want young children to raise as their own.

Not some teenager with a lot of issues.

"When I get ahold of you lot!" I pause as I ran down the steps. "I will show you slow-" I was cut off when I ran into a full on wall of muscle.

"Watch it!-...Kid?" The blue eyed man looked at me full on, I scowled at him. Knowing the look from anywhere, the look of judgement for being so old and still being stuck in this adoption centre.

"I am not a kid! Now can you move!" I snapped bitterly, pushing passed not one, but two males.

"Wow someones in a bad mood." The male next to muscle guy stated and I instantly shot him a glare making him blink.

"Hazel! enough!" My head snapped to the old lady who looked at me with firing frustration.

"Whatever." I state bitterly, before walking to the corner of the Adopting room. I leant against the wall, making the old lady roll her eyes at me and the children eyed me in amusement.

Shooting them a death glare did nothing, they simply giggled and hid behind the two males. The blue eyed male scowled at them.

"Off. Me. Now" The man gritted through teeth. Obviously not appreciating non-clean hands all over his leather jacket.

That was funny to me. He was adopting, but could barely handle young children? That is if he was the one adopting.

That thought made me look at the other male. Now he seemed more happy to be around the children.

"Mr. Lennox, here is adopting a child today" The old lady spoke up gesturing to the brown eyed male. So the blue eyed one isn't adopting. Now it made sense.

I zoned out on most of the introductions until it got to me. I think I fell asleep? I don't know. I was tired.

"Hazel!" My head snapped up at the old hag and my eyes fluttered open, Mr. Lemon? or Lennox? Looked at me with analysing eyes as for the other guy... was curious maybe? I think he was death glaring me.

"What?" I dumbly ask, stretching out of my position I seemed to have dozed off in.

"Introduction. We don't have all day. " The old lady stated bluntly, her faded eyes bored.

Oh.

"Well Its pretty simple. My name is Hazel Thomsan. I'm 17 soon to be 18. Ah...Well I'm female obviously. I love art and all that fun stuff?..." I ended up stumbling with my words when the blue eyed male literally stared into my soul. I hate this.

"I prefer this one, can we keep it instead of the little monsters below us?" The blue eyed one asked Mr. Lennox quietly, but I still heard it. I am now a 'it' apparently.

"mmm, I don't know hide.. Sarah might not recommend it. She wanted another baby since she can't get pregnant anymore..." Lennox said slowly while observing me, the male called 'Hide' hummed.

"-but Sarah did say she wanted you to decide and a older role model would be good for Annabelle." Hide argued in a retort.

My head was whipping back and forth with the discussion. For the first time in my life I think I was about to have a full on heart attack.

Me? Adopted? Me actually chosen and not forced into someones care?

Me?

It can't be.

"Mr. Lennox?" The old lady spoke up gaining the two's attention from their conversation. "Shall we discuss the matters in my office, while you do paperwork" Lennox nodded slowly and walked into her office.

Hide stayed behind since he wasn't the one applying to adopt. I swallowed down the lump in my throat and made an odd noise that was meant to be a grunt to catch his attention.

It worked either way. Even if I did sound like a dying cat.

"What." The man asked while crossing his arms. Making me feel like I should have legged it to my room whilst still possible

"Why me?" I responded with my own question.

"Why not?" Hide replied with a raised eyebrow and this action made me roll my amber eyes in annoyance. Of course he was too stubborn to answer her question.

"Fine. Be like that, but I am telling you right now that Lennox won't adopt me." I stated with a bit too much confidence.

Hide seemed to smirk slightly, as if smug. "Kid, you have no idea what Lennox will do, but I do."

My blood boiled at that. "If he does, he is stupid."

The smirk dropped which made me feel accomplished. "No he isn't, plus there is something about you."

I recoiled at that like the man had smacked me in the face. "What do you mean-"

"Hazel! Pack your bags!" The old ladys voice echoed my ears when it boomed down the hall. One day I am going to be deaf because of her screeching... wait... what did she just tell me?

The words 'pack your bags' echoed in my head. Now frozen in horror as Hides eyes filled with 'I told you so.'

"What!" My yell came out in a horrified squeak. My stubborness and Pride deflating in seconds at the fact that this scenario was truly happening.

I was getting...

"YOU ARE ADOPTED"
