Lese-Probe zu „The Pack 1 “
oneCharm House, the old convent that had been converted into a boarding school for girls, was the last place Sadie Samson thought she d find herself on a Friday afternoon or ever.
The stone institution was at the edge of the forest, where brittle leaves lay in forgotten piles by the iron gates. It had a spindly bell tower jutting up from its center like a murder weapon, and the Virgin Mary statue above the entrance was missing an arm. So, yeah. The whole scene was beyond the scope of Sadie s imagination. And yet there she was, seated in a dimly lit office across from a woman roughly her grandmother s age, with a strict silver bob, red-framed glasses, and a nameplate that read Headmistress Flora. Outside, rain streaked down the arched windowpanes like tears.
Do you know why you ve been transferred to Charm House? Miss Flora asked, without the tiniest bit of a British accent. This, too, was unimaginable. In the movies, headmistresses always had accents, especially at charm schools. They also had permanent scowls, thin lips, and beady eyes that could see straight into a girl s soul.

Because without her parents, Sadie had no one. No siblings, no cousins, no pets. And friends? Friends were for people who fit in not misfits with dark circles under their eyes, straw-blond hair that grew out instead of down, balloon-animal muscles, a heightened sense of smell, and anger issues. Instead, Sadie shrugged like she didn t know the answer and waited for Miss Flora to fill the silence, the way

She told me to run.
And run you did. Miss Flora peered over the rims of her glasses. Two hundred meters in twenty-six seconds, is that right?
Yes.
That s almost a world record.
It is? Sadie asked, like it was the first time anyone had told her she ran frighteningly fast. But fast only got her so far.
How does a girl who can t sleep have the energy to run like that?
I don t know. The doctors and therapists didn t know, either. No one did. Because of that, Sadie was banished to a creepy institution one that trick-or-treaters dared each other to visit on Halloween.
