Chapter One
“DAWN!!,” My mother yelled from the bottom of the stairs “YOUR GONNA BE LATE”.
God forbid I be late I said to myself today was the day I’d been dreading ever since I found out about it. I raced down the steps of my house I was dressed in a sky blue dress that landed just above the knee that my mom chose. Both my sister liliana and my mother said ‘it complimented my skin and eyes’.
“Well don’t you just look scrumptious” My Mother said tearing up, “ Oh my, Oh dear my baby’s goin to find her mate” She said.
I blushed.
Though I didn’t want to go to this, the thought of my mate made me feel all giddy inside.
“ Oh mom,” I said “I’m probably not even goin to find him”
“ NONSENSE” My dad shouted nearly making me scream as he walked into the room “ Come on we got to go” he practically screamed. As we got into the car I remembered we were picking up Anglea only the best person in the world.
When we stopped at her house I jumped out the car and held her in a tight hug. This was my first year at the ritual but her 2nd year without a mate.
When we finally arrived at the large grassy meadow filled with booths and tents I gasped. “I’ve never seen anything this beautiful” I whispered to Angela “ I know right 2nd year here and it still takes my breath away”. As we made our way to the sign up booth I took a deep breath in. I stopped I smelled something a smell that I couldn’t resist.
Come come come voices chant in my head. I got up walking away from Angela in line
“Dawn?” She said
“DAWN” I ignored her once again the smell was so tempting I couldn’t resist.
