Under the surface

So I am in the process of writing a story and here is the first few chapters so far. It is still in the think process...

Ch 1

I stood there looking out to the ocean could I be the only one left, was there no one left of my kind. For those of you who do not know who I am here is the low down. I am Hayden Green I used to live in London, England until two years ago when my parents kicked me out of my home I was seventeen. You know how people all have their little quirks well I have a very big one. I found out when I was fourteen that I was not like every other teenage girl in my school, I found out one day in health class I was a shape shifter when I turned into a girl named Amy who I could not stand so there I was pretending to act just like her when I well turned into her. From then on my parents really tried to love me the same but they could seem to get pass that, so they kicked me out like I said. In those two years of living on my own I travel all of the Middle East trying to find those like me but I failed to do so. While on my journey I found out more about my powers I learned that I could turn into anyone or any living thing I have ever ran across. For those of you wondering what I really look like in my regular body I am 5’8”, I have an average body, I am very fair in tone, I have long chocolate brown wavy hair that goes at least seven inches past my shoulders, and I have evergreen colored eyes with a tint of blue.
Now to the task at hand, I have failed and now I am going to try my luck in America. I turned into a dolphin and made my way there. So many thoughts rushed through head like am I truly the only one left, and if I do find my kind will I like them or better yet will they like me and how will I know if I find them? I guess the thinking made me loose track of time because before I knew it I have hit ground on a beach. I turn back in to my regular self and I walked through a town. I looked at a newspaper and I was title Maine which was in the US I couldn’t believe I had made it there so fast it took days but I didn’t even realize it. It was dark and I headed into an inn and ask the front desk if they had heard of any strange things happening in these parts. The man at the desk answer me back with a weird look on his face he said “No. I haven’t heard of any strange things happening in this part of Maine. But I would strongly suggest you look in the town called Jackman. I always hear stories of people going missing it helps since it is very close to the mountains and it is heavily forested by the mountains.” “Thanks.” I asked for a room and stayed the night.


Ch 2
I woke and headed down the stairs and checked out. I asked if there were any stores around to buy supplies and clothes. He said there was one across the street, I headed in there and bought a backpack some clothes and the supplies I needed to get me by. I headed the farthest part of the town and then turn into a wolf and ran as fast I could to Jackman. I got there in a matter of hours the place was surrounded by woods and was very dim in light and I looked for an apartment that was available and there were very few. I headed to the apartment and made a deal with the owner. Now all I need to do is to get money and find my kind. I walked to the nearest bank and I know robbing a bank is something we aren’t suppose to do and I was raised better but once I find a job I would pay them back. I walked in and looked around I saw the vault and I walked towards it and turned in to a mouse so I could get inside fast. I sat behind a desk waiting and then someone came towards it and opened it and put the money in it. I made my way fast and got in I turned in to a girl I saw in Russia and I put a mask on. I stuff and a lot of fives, tens, and twenties into a bag and grab a few more of the higher stuff and a hand full of ones. I hid behind the door till the next person came to bring more in then I made a run for. People were screaming a yelling all over the place. I ran out of the bank and to the back of my apartment and dropped the bag in the bushes and kept running they didn’t see me drop the bag and kept on chasing me. I ran into the trees and then turned back into myself. I walked along a trail and the came running through asking if I had seen anyone I told them I hadn’t.
I made it back to the spot where I dropped the money and put into my backpack. I walked to the store and bought stuff for my apartment and brought it in. I checked into the police station to check what the man at the inn said was true. They told me that it had been pretty normal till this year when they found a lot of the people walking into the woods then not come out. The deer population has gone down in great numbers and people have reported seeing weird things like large birds. He warned me not to go looking for trouble because I would surely find it.
I headed out of the station and I headed back to the apartment and was observing the area. None of those things seemed like my kind would cause them but you never know. I looked around at the people and none of them looked very special but then I saw these two guys talking and they looked nothing like the people around them. The first one was pale very tall and skinny, he had face eating black hair and crystal blue eyes he looked like he could be twenty-two. The other look like he could be twenty-one he was more average he was around my height from what I could see, he had shaggy brown hair, and greenish blue eyes. They looked too perfect to fit in with the world around them. They stopped talking and looked straight at me as if they knew I was staring at them. I looked away quickly and kept on walking. I walked into the town service building to see if there were any available jobs, the secretary said there was only one that was a busboy at the local bar, and I told her I would take it. She handed me the form I had to fill out and I headed over to the bar and spoke to the manger and gave him the form and he gave me the job, he warned me I would be working three other guys no girls I told I didn’t mind. I walked out the office then I he yelled my name “Hayden can you start tonight?” I turned and nodded. He handed me my uniform and said to be back in about two hours. I went back to my apartment and got ready.
I walked down the stairs and out the door. Luckily the bar was right across the street. I walked in punch in my card, I walked over to another worker he looked like the other busboy. “Hi I am Hayden. I am new here what exactly do we do?” the guy turned he had blonde hair blue-gray eyes and he towered over me “Oh well it is quite simple use just wash of the tables and take peoples drinks if they want refills. By the way I am Matt, Matt Smith. I have seen you around just lately are you new to town?” “Yes I am. Is it obvious?” “Not really, it just I new I wouldn’t have missed such a pretty face before.” “I am going to go bus some tables see ya.” I walked over the counter and got a rag and I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned to see one of the guys from earlier the shorter one. “Don’t worry about Matt. He just has a way of flirting with every girl he meets even when they just move here. Hi I am Anthony, I saw earlier this evening.” “Oh really hmm I don’t recall seeing you.” A voice came from behind “Oh really well figuring you were staring at us I think you would,” It was his friend the tall one “by the way I am William if you wondering.” “Oh sorry my name is Hayden. Well I will be going now. I walked over to some tables and washed them off. Working defiantly had it lows like drunken guys grabbing at you. Most the time Anthony came over and took care of them. The shift was over quick and I punch out. I walked out and Anthony said he would see me tomorrow. Before he could leave I asked him a question “Do you know anything about the strange things going on here? You know have you heard of any people turning into thing?” “No. I haven’t ok! Why do people keep on asking me that?” “I am sorry I didn’t know you’ve been asked before, I figured you since you live in the area.” “Oh sorry. No I don’t because I just moved here little over a year ago.” “Well does William know?” “No he doesn’t because he moved here a month before I did.” “Oh ok. Thanks, bye” “Would you like me to walk you home? The streets aren’t safe for such a young lady as your self at this time of night seeing how we just kick out a bunch of drunks.” “I think I will be fine I live right across the street.” I pointed to the apartments “Oh well I guess that isn’t very far I would still feel better if I did.” “Come on Anthony she will be alright its not like there is a monster on the loose or anything.” William came from behind and put his hand on Anthony’s shoulder. I said goodbye and walked across the street to my apartment and wave because they still were standing there and they laughed and walked away. I went up the stairs and got in my room. I organize what information I gain today and put in a notebook. And then I headed into my room and went to bed.
