I can hear them from my balcony. The yelling of my parents; my real mother died when I was just a little girl. Dad re-married a woman who I despised, from the beginning. I knew she was evil from the start, but my father couldn't see it. And look where it's getting him...

"Why are you doing this? She won't stand a chance out there!" bellowed my father

"She's got to learn what's going on out there!" yelled my stepmother

"She won't survive!"

"You kept her up too long in this mansion she needs air!"

"She needs me!"

"Right now she doesn't"

I heard someone come up the stairs. I turned around as someone knocked on my bedroom door.

"Jennifer, are you ready?" asked my stepmother. Jennifer. No body's called me that since the day I was born. Everyone in my family called me Sunoya. My British name.

"Yes ma'am" I replied. I looked at the suitcases standing next to each other against my wall. I took one last glance around my room. One last glance at the measuring lines my real mother measured to see how tall I got. She measured me from day 1. One last glance at the wooden mirror my father had carved for me when I turned 13. One last glance at the mark my brother and I made when we had that pillow fight. I climbed down the spiral stairs. The stairs I sprained my ankle on. The stairs, my sister and I slid down on pillows. The stairs where me and my brothers pretended to be stranded on a deserted island. My step mother opened the front door to let me by.

"I forgot to say good bye to my father" I said

"We don't have time. Train leaves in and hour" I looked back and saw my father, my 2 brothers Riles and Charlie. There were 3 boys, but Derek died when he turned 13. I took one glance at my sister Cecilia. And for a split second I thought she was my mother. Tears welled up in my eyes as I turned around and followed my stepmother out to the taxi. As the taxi pulled away from the driveway, I looked back and saw my family staring back at me. I grew up in a white house. I watched my house grow smaller, until the small speck was gone. We were dropped off at the Subway, and as we boarded we sat down on the seats nearest to the back. I felt uncomfortable on the Subway; I've never been on a Subway before, buses yes but not Subways. I looked at a girl who was sitting in the corner. I think she was with her parents. She had dirty blonde hair and from where I sat, I think she had blue eyes. I wonder where she was going.

"Welcome to London all passengers. Please be seated till the train come to a full stop." Announced the driver; we got off the subway and headed to retrieve our bags.

"Oh I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going" a girl said as she bumped into me.

"Oh, it's ok. Don't worry about it. I'm Jennifer, Jenni for short" I said holding out my hand.

"I'm Melissa DeCruz. Meli for short" the girl replied.

"Where you headed?"

"Grimmlaud Place. Dad got transferred so my whole family had to move."

"Grimmlaud Place? That's where I'm headed. My step mum and I are moving into the tan colored house."

"Melissa" her mother called out

"I'm coming mum. I have to go; it was nice to meet you Jenni"

"It was nice meeting you too, take care"

"I will bye" She turned around and ran off to her parents. As I looked around I found that the children there were surrounded by their parents. Everyone looked so happy. Why couldn't I?

We took a taxi to our new home. At the first sight of my new home, I knew it was going to take some time to adjust to. It was half the size of my other home. Great. I'm going to be living in a garage.

I opened the door and saw dust everywhere. Everything was dark, I couldn't find the switch.

"Terra, is that you?" A man said from the inside. Terra...my step mum...But. Who's this guy I hear?

"Merrick! It's good to see you. Oh I've missed you" my step mum ran past me to hug him. No wonder my step wanted to get out of the house. She had a guy here in London.

"H...what's going on?" I yelled out of anger and frustration

"Jennifer this is Merrick. I met him at the café. He and his daughters went to South Carolina for vacation" My step said

"How could you! You cheated on my father!"

"Now really Jennifer "cheated" is such a harsh word"

"Harsh or not, you cheated on him! HOW DARE YOU!" I raised my hand and slapped my step across the cheek.

"Jennifer Trevine! How dare you hit your mother. How dare you raise your voice to me!"

"You're not my mother. My mother died when I was 6. You're just my step" I sneered

"That is enough Jennifer" Merrick said. I turned to Merrick, my eyes changed from a chestnut brown do a bloodshot red.

"How dare you speak to me" I sneered

"You're going to have to get used to it, because Merrick is going to be your step father" My step said

"My step what?"

I could tell my step mum is pure evil. My real mum however was half and half. She was half evil half good. See my mum is the sister of the cousin of Lucius Malfoy. Meaning I'm related to the wealthy pure blooded Malfoys. The Malfoys nearly blew the roof when my mum told them she was going to marry Kevin Trevine. Pure blooded, but also a hundred percent good. So me and my siblings are seventy-five percent good, and only twenty-five percent evil. However, I never did anything dark when I was younger so my power for good grew more, so the percentage of good for me is eighty-nine percent, and only eleven percent evil. So my dark side is nearly gone. If I kept this up I would become all good. If I was to use my dark side for anything the percentage would go up. And I don't want that.

Draco Malfoy is the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, he would be known as my cousin. He goes to school at Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry; he would be in his 3rd year right now. I went to a muggle school back in my hometown, and some of my classmates were even witches and wizards. My best friend Audrie Shainie Roddick is a witch; my other best friends, Rebeka Wild, and Jodi Jones are muggles. We grew up together, and we all work at the Community Pool as lifeguards. Audrie and I are on the South Carolina swim team, we came in 2nd in the conference last year.

The door opened again and 3 girls came through:

"Terra!" they said in unison as they all ran up to hug her. Great, I'm guessing these were the three daughters.

"Girls it's nice to see you again. Oh and this is Jennifer. Jennifer this is April, May, and June." My step said. I raised my eyebrow up at the sound of their names. What no July, August, September, October, and the other 9 months? Pitty. I couldn't take anymore of this, so I ran as far away possible. I found my self in a place with little shops. Not being able to stop soon enough I ran into a boy.

"Watch it!" said the boy.

"Draco?" I said as I looked into his face.
