Sam day could not get worse. Not only did she flunk yet another Physics test (which mind you is a subject her dumb prep school forced her to take for no reason other than to show off to the incoming student's parents) but she had to take the city bus home in the rain, without a jacket or umbrella. And as Lady Luck may have it just as she got to the corner of the bus stop, the bus took off.
"Great! Just great! Could this day get any better?!" She muttered as she sat down.
All she wanted to do was get home, shower, grab some food and watch the Game of Thrones. That would defiantly fix her crappy day.
Sam wasn't a girl with fine tastes. She was a girl of 17 years old who enjoyed 80's movies, reading, skateboarding, listening to music and watching TV.
She liked the Game of Thrones books but she loved the show. She loved the show for the 2 reasons and their names were Robb Stark and Jon Snow. Overall her favorite characters were Tyrion Lannister and Arya Stark but a gal can't deny man candy when she sees it.
Half hour later Sam found herself at the bus stop closest to her home which was a 3 minute walk.
Thankfully the rain had stopped while she was on the bus so all she had to do was skip the puddles and she'd be home free.
As Sam was so lost in her thoughts she barely heard the world around her but she was woken out of her thoughts by a loud cawing being down by a raven.
"Jesus you dumb bird! You gave me heart attack!" She yelled at the stupid bird which sat in the tree and merely cawed in reply.
"Yelling at a bird won't do anything but make it caw more" said an old Haitian voice.
Sam knew that voice. It was old lady Higgins who lived in the Witch House. The kids named it that a while ago since it had a very Victorian feel to the home and everyone thought old lady Higgins was a witch.
"Um, yeah. Uh got to go! Lovely talking to you!" Sam said as she backed away from the house. She wasn't afraid of a lot of things but old lady Higgins gave her the serious chills.
"What do you think your destiny is, child?" Old lady Higgins said as she made her way down her front steps.
"My destiny? I don't know… probably something along the lines of finish school, get a job, find a husband and have kids. Nothing special or out of the ordinary that is forsure" Sam wasn't sure why but she felt compelled to answer.
"Oh no, child. You are meant for something great. And I have something for you! It will help you with your destiny. " the woman said as she held out a leather bound book.
"That doesn't make sense! I am just a ordinary girl! Living a ordinary life!"
Sam wasn't going to lie, she dreamed that she was meant for something more. Like one day, she'd find Narnia or her Hogwarts letter would come or The Doctor would show up with the TARDIS on her front steps or she'd somehow fall into Middle Earth and she go on a adventure of a life time. But no, those were just her childish dreams.
The last thing Sam remembered was her starting to say "I don't…" and then the old lady grabbed her hand and placed on the book and everything went black.
