Prologue
The room was dark and the moon was bright. The light filtered through the small
porthole on the crowded cruise boat as Indigo Bleu twirled in Alex Anderson's arms.
He leaned close, his mouth right by her ear.

"You dance beautifully, Indy." he murmured. Her breath caught in her throat as his
breath tickled her ear. "Thank you..." she managed to choke out. She felt him grin.
She blushed furiously. The tempo of the song changed and he dipped her, low to the
ground. She took the opportunity to take a deep breath. Alex had odd effects on her.
He pulled her back up and they continued to move in small circles, their eyes gazing
into each other’s, their faces inches from the others'. His eyes flicked down to her
lips; she suddenly couldn't breathe. He leaned in. Their lips touched. A scream
ripped through the air.


Chapter One

TWO WEEKS EARILER........

“I wish I could be as pretty as you, Indigo.”

Indigo Bleu glanced up from her make-up kit and frowned at her best friend. “You’re pretty too, Jenna.” Jenna Mayors rolled her eyes and went back to her make-up.

Both girls were very beautiful; Jenna had shoulder-length, brunette hair and sparkling green eyes. Indigo had curly, silky brown hair and indigo-blue eyes. Both were seventeen years old and went to the same school.

“I’m serious. I will force you to believe me, whatever it takes.” Indigo threw a pillow at her. “Hey! Watch it.” She threw it back. Indigo narrowed her eyes then shouted. “It’s war!” Jenna’s eyes widened and she threw an arm up to protect her from the fluffy assault. Jenna grabbed a body pillow and hit Indigo in the gut. Indigo’s eyes widened in feigned surprise. She dropped to her knees dramatically, clutching her supposed ‘wound’.

“Ya got me.” She breathed. Jenna giggled. Indigo dropped to the carpet, ‘dead’. Jenna let out a breath followed by laughter. Indigo sat up and burst out laughing too.

“Hey guys! What are you laughing about?” The voice came out of nowhere and Jenna screamed. Indigo laughed again. “Jen,” she said. “It’s just Opal.” Jenna sent a glare towards Indigo’s twin sister, Opal, who stood in the doorway. Opal just smiled and twirled her short blonde hair around her fingers. “Hi Jenna.” She said sweetly. Jenna smiled back. “Hey!” she said back. That was the thing about Opal; it was hard to be mean to her. She had the perfect innocent look; short blonde hair, crystal-blue eyes and a small petite smile. The perfect twin, even though she and Indigo looked nothing alike.

“Sooo….? What are you laughing about?” Opal questioned again. Indigo shook her head. "Nothing." Opal made a pouty face and sat down on her bed. "Fine. Don't tell me." she said. She sounded hurt. Indigo sighed and stood up to hug her twin. "It didn't matter. Don't worry about it."
