She Started As A Stranger

Chapter 1 - Edinburgh

I stare at the sign, just 50 more miles till I'm at Edinburgh. I sigh in disappointment, pulling my jacket tighter around my less than an ideal body. "Hey, Daniel... How much longer?" I asked my stepbrother, pushing my sandy blonde hair from my royal blue eyes.

"Lil S, it's a surprise. You'll be a great catch for the hens~" He winked in the rearview mirror, chuckling at my flushed face.

"D-DANIEL!!" I gasped, covering my face with my caramel hands. I sighed again, looking out the window at the fast passing trees.

A few raindrops hit the window, a scowl crossing my face. "S##t. This is a big storm." Daniel groaned, pulling over and parking, mumbling an abundance of Scottish curses.

"Dan, it's fine." I unbuckled my seatbelt, crawling over and giving my stepbrother a hug. "'Least we're not with those dunderheads back at Dundee." I chuckled with a grin, messing up his perfectly kept black hair.

"Oi! Don't mess up my hair, Lil S!!" He laughed, swatting my hand away. "You hungry, Sis?" He unbuckled himself, turning to me as he locked the car up. I nodded, sighing as I rested my head back on the car seat.

I woke with a start, my breathing heavy. I looked around the car, seeing my dark-haired brother asleep. Even through the darkness, I could see his chocolate skin, darkly coloured brown hair. The flower tattoos on his neck gave him a colour unneeded, but a beauty nonetheless. My breathing calmed as I listened to water hitting the sides of the van. What kind of dream was that..? Ugh, I'm going for a walk. I grabbed my phone and boots. I slid the wooden brunette boots on, pulling my jacket hood over my messy hair. I slipped out the car, shuddering at the sudden cold nipping at my hands. I closed the door, walking quietly out into the rain.
