It's been about a week since i turned thirteen. Today, me and my mom went to see my dad at the hospital. He had a terminal illness, i can never remember what it is, honestly. As we walked into the hospital, I saw a lady pacing near a sleeping girl. A doctor soon walked over to her as she started crying hysterically. I sighed as I stuffed my hands into my pockets.

We were about to walk into dad's room as nurses and doctors suddenly shoved past us into his room. I was able to look at him through the glass, I was able to see the heart monitor... It was flat lining. I looked around for my mom but I couldn't find her anywhere. I ran out of the hall to the waiting room.

I was panicking at this point, I still couldn't find my mom, my dad just died in front of me. What else could go wrong?

I grabbed my bag and tried to find my phone but I found the box. I grabbed it because something seemed to draw me to the woman crying. In my letter I was told not to open this box till I found the blood and the shield. Whatever that means, but i feel like this woman has something to do with it.

"Um.. Excuse me ma'am?" I asked as I touched her arm. She slowly looked over at me as she sighed.

She looked over at me, "Yes, can I help you?" She looked so sad so I did the only thing that made sense to me. I hugged her.

"Sorry, this isn't about my question but i just thought you needed this." I said softly as I felt her start crying again. "What happened?" I asked her.

She then started explaining how her daughter was shot, and now has amnesia. Also, the only person she remembers is her best friend.

"Can i meet them?" I asked suddenly. "I know this sounds weird, but i think this was destined to happen."

She looked at me like I was insane. She sighed and looked at me. "Why do you think that?"

I nodded and took a deep breath. "I was told in a note to wait to open this small little package till I find the blood and the shield. And today after..." I took a breath as I felt tears come to my eyes. "After i witnessed my dad pass here at the hospital, my mom disappeared and then i was drawn to you, the girl that was here... The hoodie she was wearing was bloody, she is the blood."

She looked at me and sighed. "You mean Amberly, I'm guessing. Her parents just kicked her out yesterday, then she found my daughter at the park." She looked down then towards the hallway. "Why should i believe that you won't hurt my daughter?" She shook my head, "Not only my daughter but her best friend. She doesn't know this, but she has an older sister that her dad kicked out years ago, she has never met her."

I remember a while back my brother had brought over a girl, who had been kicked out of her house years before. She went by Daly. "Did you know the girl?" I asked. I was really curious now.

She shook her head, "No i didn't, but don't let Amberly know but here is her mom's number, call her if you know anything."

I nodded as she quickly wrote the number down. She looked at me as she motioned for me to follow her. As I did so. We walked to the room with the two girls in there. One girl has a tanish skin tone with long brown hair. And a paler girl with two toned hair. I waved a bit as I walked in. 

{Hey guys so i know this is a fairly short chapter, but in my defense i have so much more inspiration for amberly then all the other  characters, im still going to write this book like this how i have a different character telling the story every chapter in their points of view so that you guys can get a feel for their backgrounds and personalities yourself. So yeah! Have a good day!}
