Chapter 1

Bellamy walked into the bathroom, flicking on the light as he did so. As he walks into the room he is suddenly hit by another wave of the same feeling from before, gripping onto the bathroom sink to prevent it from falling. His vision was swarming around, his head felt like an anvil hit the back of it. Waiting a few minutes as it passes through his sight.

Lifting his head to look at his reflection, though his skin is a tan shade, it looked pale. His baggy shirt hung off his shoulders, hunched over the sink. His bags under his hazel eyes were dark from his nightmares, his black hair tousled around his head and in his eyes, his eyes in question bore into his soul. Deciding the feeling passed a bit, he turned the water on as he slashed water on his face, waking him up from the haze he felt.

The feeling of water dripping from his face calmed him, more than how he felt earlier. Sighing, he wiped the water from his face and started to get ready for school, quickly jumping in the shower. The anxiety slowly went down as the shower went on, his breathing eventually went back into Bellamy's control. Closing his eyes, his head finally became clear.

Time passed as Bellamy got ready for school, eventually emerging with a flannel and black shirt, and skinny jeans. Drying his hair with the towel, feeling a nudge against my leg.

Looking down he sees a smiling dog, Vex. The dog in question was panting excitingly at seeing Bellamy, saying good morning in his own way. Smiling, Bellamy pats Vex on the head. Satisfied with that he said good morning, Vex turns and runs back down the stairs, to where Bellamy assumed Claudia was.

Smiling at the dog walking away, Bellamy continues into his room, grabbing the essentials for school. Hearing his phone on the bedside going off with notifications. Bell decides to leave it for now and get ready for school.

When he was done, he went over and grabbed his phone, placing in his pocket, grabbing his charger and placing that into his bag. Throwing his bag over his shoulder, and he walks towards the door, only stopping if he wants to grab his journal off his desk. Staring at it, debating whether writing the dream down would make it better or not. Deciding that it would lighten the stress from the feelings he got from the wave of whatever it was he felt, and he'll feel better.

As he walked by it, he threw his towel into the hamper in the bathroom, turning down the hallway and went downstairs. To be greeted by Claudia at the island counter, eating a strawberry pop tart, humming along to whatever song she was listening to in her headphones.Grabbing her Apple juice that was on the counter, she catches Bellamy in the corner of her eye, she smiles and waves at him, not taking her eyes off the poptarts before her. Took engrossed in her food to bother with her brother.

Claudia was wearing an outfit similar to Bellamy, dark blue jeans, red flannel tied at her waist and a crop top with a saying that he couldn't see from his position, her hair was up in a half bun. But he could see the small smile graced her face as he entered the room. A small laugh escaped his lips as he witnessed his strange sister tear another piece viciously of her poptart. When getting to the fridge, he grabs out an apple and mountain dew, ten sat down next to his sister, listening to her ramble about anything really, we talked about the possible upcoming school events, friends and the latest gossip of different cliques.

But then they go on the subject of dreams they had, bellamy was completely silent on it, but claudia on the other hand just chatted about the strange dream she had

"And randomly we showed at this place, it was like a swamp, there was a small house on the side, and patches of water everywhere, with land that looks like paths leading to the house, going every which way to the same place." Claudia in detail, describes the whole scene. Bellamy puts his head on his hands, listening intensely, laughing occasionally at her antics.

"But the water, it was glowing weird lights and was changing colors between sea green and teal blue. But the patches of water were extremely deep. The land looks like a giant spider web laying on top of the lake, connecting the outside land to the house in its center, in this case, the shed." she gestures around using her hands. One hand to the left is the land where the shed was, the right hand was gesturing around acting out where the paths were located from her dream. "As we walked on the paths towards the shed. We started to hear creepy noises and splashing in the distance, but it was still relatively close to us & it was in every direction. From behind us, to the sides of us, behind the shed. All over." She says. Her voice starting to crackle from all the speaking, she shutters as the feeling from the dream chilled her to her core, trying to think of what happened next.

"Out of nowhere we hear a scream, we look and see Georgie being pulled down by hands. They started coming up from the water, pair by pair pulling him down into the depths of the water. (Just going with Georgie for now) Georgie screamed and yelled for us, while desperately grabbing the ground in attempts of getting away from the hands grabbing at him. Bill rushed over to him and attempted to pull Georgie up, preventing him from being dragged down below..." she trails off, as if she didn't want to continue.

This was a sense that the subject needed to change to Bellamy, "so did you hear about the possible School field trip? Do you have any details for it?" knowing that she would know more information than he would ever know when it came to school and gossip.

"So, I heard from a friend, who heard from her friend, who heard from their sister that there's supposed to be a 'very boring announcement in class today'" she says as she finger quotes those words, mimicking the typical voice of a girly girl, the same way her friends do. Giving her a small laugh and an eye-roll, Bellamy walked over to the to get another apple.

"And what would that 'boring announcement' be?" quoting as he grabs another apple, sneaking a look towards Claudia out the corner of his eyes. Raising his  eyebrows and snickered; "Oh, so darling, lovely little sister Claudia who loves me enough to tell me the details?" Bellamy says in a mimicking a young sweet boy's voice, as he cups his hands to his cheeks.

There was a moment of complete and utter silence between them staring at each other for a while, his hands still sitting upon his cheeks and Claudia still had her ripped piece of pop tart in front of her mouth, about to eat it. A second went by before we both broke out into laughter, Bellamy doppiled over onto the counter, Claud dropped her pop tart and held her hand and rested her elbow on the counter, the laughter and giggling were heard throughout the house.

Some time went by, Claudia looked at the clock. Looking up as well to read it says; 7:48 Am.

"Oh! Were gonna be late!" Right on que, their dad comes down the stairs. A pep in his walk and a very fatherly smile creeped onto his face and his green eyes swelled with pride at the sight of the two siblings laughing.

"Good morning dad" Claudia said, calming her laughter a little before she spoke to her father, but still giggled, grabbing her glass of apple juice and taking a sip of it. Giving his dad a wave and a smile, as he took a bit out of the apple in his hand; "sup pop"

"Nothin much, what's the plan for today? What about you young man? Anything with that crush of yours?" getting a groan in response with a "Pops!" causing the father to smile wider. Rubbing his knuckles against Bellamy's head, Bell in question squirmed to get out of his father's grip.

Noticing something missing; "Where's mom?" expecting their mother to walk down the stairs in the similar outfit as their father, getting both his father and sisters attention with this question.

"She isn't feeling too well this morning. She woke up a little late today, she's getting ready upstairs right now." His father says comforting him from his worries. "She might be ready by the time to take you two to school." as he points his thumb over the hall.

"I'm gonna meet her at the office after I pick her up the Starbucks she enjoys,' looking at his watch, "shoot, speaking of heading out," giving his children a kiss on their foreheads and starting heading towards the front doors. "Tell your mother to take her time, no need to get more sick" he says as he walks away.

"By kids, Bye Honey!" He yelled as he opened and closed the door. Getting a "love you" from upstairs and a "bye" from the kids. The voice of their mother sounded quiet, and tired. Deciding to worry about it later, Bellamy grabbed out the journal he keeps his dreams in and started to write in it, waiting for his mother. Claudia nonchalantly looked at him writing through the corner of her eyes.

Silence went through both of them while he wrote, sensing her stare after about 15 minutes of continuous staring; "yes Claud?" he said casually, not too bothered with her staring. Recovering quickly from jumping from the sudden noise, she looks back to her pop tarts.

"So, what's the deets on your little crush?" Claudia said, Bellamy pauses in place. In the middle of writing a word. Causing him to stutter and spat all over the place.

"Wha-what are you talking about?!" Scratching his temple with a nervous face. Claudia smiling, knowing she has won. The two siblings continued to bicker until there mother came down. Get them to calm down and got them out the door into the car.
