HEY GUYS!!!! So I am currently working on a book and I want your advice on it, so here if the first chapter.

Chapter One

I was sitting on the bus looking at the word on my hand that I always hide. It said 'Y peiriant diferu'. I also had a symbol on my collar bone. Both were black. My father said I was born with them but that was about it. But the weird thing was I knew what they meant. The word on my hand was 'Trickster' in Welsh and the one on my collar bone was the celtic symbol for fox. I also had a connection with wolves and an inner voice that said she was a fox named आत्मा or Aatma. Aatma was the only friend I have here in L.A. Aatma is Hindi for spirit. Once the bus stopped I got out and walked straight home, only to be met by an angry step-mom.

"You're late," She growled

"The bus was la-" I didn't even get to finish before I was slammed into a wall.

She kept hitting me until she got bored and went to the living room, I just laid there until my dad got home. He was the only one I cared about, and the only one that cared about me. He is the only reason I am still alive. Him and my best friend, since we were in diapers, back in Jacksonville, Oregon. Now I'm in L.A., California. We only moved because my step-mom, Sara, saw how close me and Kaylee were getting and she is homophobic so we moved...... TO THE CITY!! And I absolutely hate it here in L.A. I'm that goth town girl that loves horses and spends most of her time in the woods with the wolves. I walked into my room after giving my dad a hug and I sat on my bed. I thought about what my best friend had said before I left.

"Make sure to remember me ok, Sha," Kaylee said

"I will Kay" I assured her, tears running down my face as I hugged my best friend.

'You miss her don't you,' I was jolted out of my thoughts by Aatma.

"Yeah I do Aam," I spoke out loud, "I also miss the mountains and the fresh air smell after it rained. I miss everything."

'I miss it too, Sha,' Aatma agreed

I sat in silence for a while looking at my wall where I had a poster of Batman and Robin on the wall when I heard a knock. I knew it was dad cause Sara never knocks.

"It's unlocked," I announced

"Hey sweetie," My dad spoke as he opened the door, "Dinner is ready."

"Okay," I replied getting up and following my dad downstairs to eat.

We ate in muteness. After dinner, I walked up to my room, got in my Pikachu onesie and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up to screaming. It was Sara and Dad. I got up and walked to my door opening it a diminutive bit.

"Derrell," Sara yelled desperately, "She needs to go!"

"Why," Dad barked angrily

"She's a menace," Sara yelled, "She hits me!"

"Really," Dad screamed, I walked closer to see he was gripping his hair and pacing, "Them how do you explain the bruises and cuts and scars on Shane that I see every day!"

Sara stayed quiet and I thought this was the perfect chance to walk in, so I did. I walked in rubbing my eyes.

"What's going on," I muttered tiredly

They turned in my direction and my dad walked over and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back.

"Sorry sweetheart," I heard him say, "Didn't mean to wake you."

I mutter it's okay and looked at Sara. She looked terrified because he knew what she did to me.

Dad kneeled down to me, "This summer me and you are going home"

At that sentence, I perked up, "Home"

All dad did was nod then he spoke, "Why don't you go pack, okay"

I nodded and ran to my room. I grabbed my black bag that I had spray painted and put my electronics, chargers, clothes and my beanie. Then I grabbed my leather messenger bag that I and put, computer and gloves in. I walked out of my room with my bags and placed them by the front door. I went back to my room and got in baggy pants, a crop top, my fingerless gloves, and combat boots. Then I grabbed my messenger bag that was spray painted on and left the apartment. I went to my gang's hangout, which was an old abandoned warehouse, and went to my room. I grabbed my spray paint and painted a wolf howling at the moon. I heard the door open and I knew it was either my gang or just one member of the gang. I left my room and went down to the lounge room to see the gang.

"Hey Shane," Peter, one of the newer gang members, greeted

"Hey Pete," I greeted back as I spray painted the gang's names on the wall. I don't normally talk and this is the first time I have spoken since Peter joined other than to introduce myself.

Shane Perseus

Andromeda

Lucas

May

Kevin

Marcas

Kelly

Peter

The origin of our gang is me and Perseus, or as he goes by Percy. Me and him have been friends since I moved here. The reason we formed this gang is because we are considered freaks. He was also born with tattoos like mine but on his left bicep he had the phrase Πιστοί σε όλους, which translates to 'Loyal to everyone', under it was a crescent moon, and his were silver. Me and him are the only ones that have them. The gang name isहमारे सुंदर पैक or hamare sundar paik which is Hindi, the only language both of us understand, for Our Beautiful Pack.

There weren't many of us. We are one of the smaller named gangs. Everyone watched as I added designs and different things to decorate.

"Your really good," Peter complimented with this look of awe and amazement as I finished

"Thanks," I thanked

I walked up to the loft and brought out my computer and started to work on new designs. I felt someone sit next to me so I looked up and saw Lucas.

"Whatcha doin," He asked

"None of your business," I said as I looked back at my screen and continued working.

I continued working for a while then got a text from my dad.

Dinners Ready

K, be there in a min.

I put my stuff up and left after saying bye to everyone and telling them what was happening with me and dad this summer. When I got home we had dinner and I went to sleep.

The next morning me and dad packed up. I grabbed my messenger bag that had my designs and spray paints. We got into the car and started the drive. I noticed my dad start to get really nervous and his eyes were darting everywhere.

"Dad, are you okay," I asked

"Yeah," He lied, I know he did.

I can sense when people lie some how. I don't know how I can do it though.

"Your lying," I said, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"I guess it's time for me to tell her," I heard dad mumble before he said, "It's about your mom."

"What about her," I asked suspiciously he never talked about mom.

"She's what people call a spirit shifter," Dad said

"What's a spirit shifter," I asked completely confused

"A spirit shifter is someone who has an animal spirit that they can shift into. Their natural hair color is the color of their fur in animal form. So since yours is pure white and your animal is a fox you're an arctic fox," Dad explained, "And the word or phrase is your fatal flaw and your major trait. Yours is trickster so, your fatal flaw is you are always playing tricks, and you are going to play a trick at the wrong time and get killed."

I looked at my dad as we stopped at a gas station to gas. My silver and black eyes meet my dad's chocolate brown eyes.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," He said all I did was give him a small smile

After we got gas we were off again and everything was fine until we were hit from the side and everything when black.
