BRING! BRING! BRING!

Catherine got up and turned off her alarm clock. She then got dressed and grabbed toast before heading out the door to walk to school. As she was walking to school, she felt like she was being followed, but every time she looked back no one was there.

Still slightly feeling followed she opened the door and entered Sunnydale High School. She then walked to the office and entered the office, as she waited to get her schedule. Catherine then got her schedule and after receiving directions went to her first class. The first half of her day was uneventful with the exception of a girl named Jessica inviting her to someplace called the Bronze. As she left her last class, late, because she had to answer her teacher's questions as to where exactly her class back in LA was. So she went to her locker to gather her books to take home no one was in the hall. Just as she closed her locker door she felt a hand on her shoulder. As she turned Catherine saw a non-descriptive man in his early 40s.

"You are the chosen one." He said with the emotion evident in his voice.

"What are you talking about. Are you some kind of psycho?" Cat asked trying to pull away.

"You have to believe me. This is more important than you can imagine." The man implored as he grabbed her shoulders. Somehow Cat broke his hold and pushed him away from her, with much more force than she should have been capable of, as her push sent him in a flying motion upside the opposite wall. Catherine then proceeded to run off, leaving the man against the wall as he muttered under his breath, "I really needed to think of a better way to do that."

*****

The Bronze 8:00 p.m.

Catherine took one look around the Bronze and saw about what you could expect from a teen club. Cat thought to herself.

As the evening went on Catherine began to feel slightly isolated as Jessica, the girl that told her about the bronze, talked to her, but she was the only one. . As she said her good-byes she left the Bronze and exiting out the side door into an alley. As she walked down the alley, something suddenly tackled her to the ground.
