(AN/ Ok I own nothing at all, all copyright goes to PC and Kristin Cast, I absoultly adore the books, I'm not exactly writing my own storie, but I'm re-writing it if it makes any sense, there are just bits I would of changed, like I said all copyright goes to PC and Kristin.) Chapter One
I rolled my eyes at Kayla, and that's when I noticed him, the dead guy. Well obviously he wasn't properly dead but he was a tracker, the crescent moon in the middle of his forehead was the give away. The sapphire moon was framed by his also sapphire tattoos, dead tracker give away.
I was interupted by my random train of panic by Kayla's snapping fingers.
"ZO! don't you fucking dare roll your eyes at me!" she yelled while laughing slightly.
I was the first to notice him, and when the others noticed him it was too late.
"Zoey Montgomery! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night
calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House
of Night!" He said loudly but in a sort of voice that made you want to do anything he said.
He then lifted one of his long slender fingers up to my forehead and pushed down gently onto it.
The pain was intense, almost like he was burning through my skull. That's about the time I passed out.
"ZO! ZO! ZOEY!" I could hear Kayla yell panic running through her voice. My eyes slowly opened, my forehead burned...not that I could exactly remember why...then it all came back to me. Kayla's babbling, my eye rolling, and then the dead guy...
"Urg K shud up for just a moment!" I snapped not intentionaly but my head was killing me.
She flinched and took a step away from me.
"You honestly just didn't do that to me?!" I yelled again, "I'm the same me I was two seconds ago, two days ago, two months ago and even two years ago!" I continued to yell as the corridor was now empty. "And this doesn't change a thing!" I said moving my hair slightly to point at the sapphire crescent moon on my forehead.
Kayla's cell started playing 'Material Girl' it echoed through the corridor.
"Go ahead and answer it," I said noticing her slight hesitation.
She looked at her caller ID, her eyes lit up, so it deffentily was Jared, Kayla's current boyfriend.
"Go on get a ride with him," I said smiling softly she looked more relived than happy as she scamperd away. Yes she did actualy scamper.
I groaned as I got up from the floor, my chest felt like it was going to burst and not in the good happy way. I coughed and my body wheezed. I made my way as quickly as I could to the girls bathroom which was suprisingly nice for a public school bathroom. The main wall was coverd by two medium sized mirrors which had a long shelf probably from Ikea underneath then underneath that where some sinks, which are not nice enough to be from Ikea.
This was the first time I had seen myself since I got marked.
No shit Sherlock you only got marked five bloody minutes ago.
Just great I had to have a brain with attitude.
You only just noticed huh?
I chose to ingore his coments and lightly traced the outline of my mark. Crap that thing stung like a bitch.
After what seemed like an eternity and what I hoped was enough time for everyone to leave school I left the girls toilets.
When I got outside I had to cover my eye's even though it wasn't that bright it still stung like hell, and it set off another round of coughing and wheezing fit. Then I noticed it Drew and Dustin's truck and not was it just the two of them Heath my almost boyfriend/ex-boyfriend was sitting in the cab of it, beer in his hand of course.
"ZO! BABY!" He yelled to me waving his arms franticly trying to get my attention. Did I mention before he wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed?
I forced a smile and walked over to him and stood about half a pace away from him. Heath being the lovable idiot he was reached out to wrap his arms around me but full straight out of the cab of the truck. Then the smell hit me....
