*Flash Fiction*

Serenity knows she doesn't belong here. She knows it's only a matter of time before they find her. When they do she'll have to leave the family she's grown to love. She doesn't want to leave, she doesn't want to run again. 

The first time I heard my name was at 7 A.M. while I was getting ready for school. It was a hot April morning. I had my windows open and radio on. Taylor Swift floated into the bathroom where I was having a battle with my hair. As soon as I got one strand of my curly brown hair to cooperate another strand went haywire.

I was just about to give up on my hair when I heard the radio turns to static. I peeked my head out of my bathroom to see in the radio antenna had fallen, causing it to loose signal. The antenna, however, was fine. It stuck up in the air in the same spot I had put it. I was just about to turn back to the mirror when I hear my name.

Serenity. Serenity. A voice had called out.

I stood in my bathroom doorway staring at the radio, where my name had been coming from. The voice that spoke was soft and airy, and oddly familiar. It was gone before I could react and the music came back on. 

The second time I heard my name was in the car on my way to school. Because of the incident this morning, I hadn't turned on my radio. But I was late for school, stuck in traffic, and bored. I gave in and turned it on. To my surprise and relief nothing happened. Music came on and played like it should.

It wasn't until I pulled into my school parking lot that the radio acted up. I had just parked when the static came.

Serenity. Serenity. The same ghostly voice called out.

I had quickly turned off my car and jump out.
