Prologue

It’s damp. It’s dark. Jace. I’m wet. Jace. I hear the waves crashing, and the soft sand melting in my hands. I open my eyes, and see the beautiful sunrise. ‘Where was I?’ I looked down at my hands, and I saw a silver necklace in my grasp. It had 2 delicate angel wings, and there was a name, Alexa carved on it. I was cold, and the only barrier I had against the water was a flimsy white dress. I looked up, shivering, and a teenage guy jogged towards me. His eyebrows pulled together, and he started to talk to me,“Who are you?”

My mind raced. Who am I? I thought of the silver necklace in my hand. My throat felt like I swallowed a pile of sand, and my lips stung from the dryness. I spoke barely in a whisper, “Alexa”. But then that name came back to me.

          Jace.

Chapter 1

 

A pair of brown eyes were staring at me. He had brown curls, but he didn’t seem to like them. He was tall, and was staring at me with a concerned look. His name was Percy. His hair was in tangles, and he slid his hand through it. He looked like a pretty cute 16 year old, but his eyebrows were pulled together. At least, I was warm. I had a blanket wrapped around, but my teeth were chattering. I bit my lip to stop the chattering, and he started to talk.

 

“So what you’re telling me is you have no idea who you are, and you just magically appeared on the shore.” I nodded.His frown got deeper.

 

“At least you know your name. That matters right? If you didn’t I would have to name you like Isabelle..” I gave him a disgusted look, “…or Lucy..”. I glared at him. “…fine, maybe it would be weird.” He sighed, and put his head in his hands.

 

“Do you at least know your parents?” I shook my head.

 

He glanced at me through his fingers, “How old are you?” I shrugged. He sighed again, “Right, you don’t know anything but your name. Well you look 16 years old, and I think you should still go to school. Do you remember trigonometry? or Calculus?” I gave him a punch in the arm.

 

“I think I haven’t forgotten my basics,” I told him.

 

“Great. That’s where we start. Your a girl, who has like Amnesia or something. You’re Alexa with this unique blazing red hair.” I punched him in the arm.

 

“Stop with the glares and the punches, I think I currently have like 7 bruises on my arms,” he complained, “but you need to go to high school.” I groaned with disgust. “at least you are a normal teenager with the dramatic complaints.” I glared at him,

 

“You think I’m one of those girls who batts their eyelashes for every guy?” I asked him, and he tried not to smile. He nodded.

I kicked him in the shins. He winced, “That’s a new one.”

Chapter 2

 

I wake up in a guest room of Percy’s. The room was pretty neat, with a brown comfy sofa on one side, and a desk next to it. When I got up from bed, my feet touched the cold wooden floor. I had my dry crinkled white dress on from last night, and as I stood in front of the mirror, I was shocked. It look like a stranger was staring back at me. She had bright red hair. No wonder why Percy described it as “Unique”. I touched my hair, it was orange and red, with a tint of amber. My eyes were green, and they stared back at me, judging me. I was pale and my lips were a rosy. I looked better than I expected, but Percy came in, and he started to laugh.

I glared at him, he stutterd, “You-sh-ould have seen your face. First time seeing yourself?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Well I mean you look 16 years old, with those judgemental eyebrows and-“ I started to laugh, and quirked them up, giving him a silly face in return. I pushed him out of the room, and locked it.

 

“Hey, it’s my house you know. You can’t just lock-“

 

“-I’m changing” I shouted. I grabbed a tang top from a closet, and shorts. I put on a brown leather jacket which he had in the guest room, and glanced at myself one more time.

 

I hate this. I don’t want to get thrown into a random high school, because I have to face more problems. How do I know, I was suppose to be 16 or 20? Who knows, maybe I didn’t go to high school. I walked into the school with Percy. He was the one dragging me to school, and according to him, his father, the principal let me go to this school, without any contracts. I don’t believe him. He sends me off to my first class. I step into the class, and everyone’s eyes swivel towards me. I feel their curious looks, and in front, sits the chemistry teacher.

 

“Class, Alexa is a new student, who came from…” glancing at me.

 

“Hawaii” I answered quickly. I went to the back of the room, and sat down next to a guy. He looked at me. He was handsome. He had dark hair, with these beautiful intense dark blue eyes. I could almost see a hint of silver in his eyes. He had the right tone of skin, and he had a badass grin on his face. He seemed perfect. He stared at me, and it felt as if he was trying to figure something out. He tilted his head, and as if he was questioning me with his gaze, he gave me a boyish grin. He was attractive, and I felt myself flush. As if on cue, his eyes laughed at me.

 

“Hey,” I smiled at him.

 

“Hey, if you came from Hawaii, why are you so pale?” he smirked. This first impression wasn’t going too well, but I managed not to punch him. “Well, maybe I don’t get tan easily. What’s your name?”

 

“Jace.”

       It was too good to be true.

Chapter 3

 

My girlfriend, Courtney was chatting me. She was going on about how she should change her hair for the upcoming winter party. Asking me, if her hair was glamorous, and she was thrilled. On the other hand, I was bored. Like I cared, I was only a cat with it’s mouse. I looked out at the window, and it was the usual sunny boring day. I was in the chemistry class, bored, and someone stepped in. My eyes flickered to the person walking in, and I for the first time I was speechless. She was beautiful. She had radiant red hair, as it fell down her shoulders. Her lips parted and took a scan of the room. I could almost see the tiny sigh of disgust through her shoulders. Her pale skin, let her features stand out, mostly her eyes. Her eyes. They were emerald green, and piercing with such intensity and curiosity. They were like the eyes of a cat, but at the same time they looked far into the distance. Her eyes met mine, and her gaze pinned me down like a helpless butterfly. Then her gaze shifted to the teacher, as he introduced her. He asked her where she was from, and she said: “Hawaii”. Maybe it was me who only saw a glimmer in her eyes that she was thinking furiously for a place. A lie. This got my attention, and she was oddly familiar. Her brilliant green eyes met mine again but they looked as if they were looking at my soul. She walked down the desk with charisma, and hesitation. Alexa smiled at me, and I was stunned. My heart beat faster, and almost as if she noticed, she said, “hey”. Her green eyes sparkled, and an odd sensation overwhelmed me that I knew her for my whole life. Why did she feel so familiar? She sat beside me, and I could smell fresh lemon scent flowing from her vibrant hair. She asked me my name, and I told her it was Jace. Her eyes widened in surprise, and I wondered, who she really was. I watched her during
