Chapter 1
I was the only girl in the world who was so prone to danger that my mother called me "Danger Target", and I hated it. I especially hated moving, until I moved to Port Angeles, Washington and met the guy I thought I would never meet.
When we arrived in Port Angeles, I helped unpack as long as I could handle without killing my mother, then I went for a walk.
While I was walking, I had a feeling I was being watched and was starting to freak out when I saw this dark figure in the shadows.
I stopped to take a look at the figure but it was gone all of a sudden. I turned around and there was a man with blonde hair and bright red eyes about fifteen feet away from me.
I jumped and asked him who he was and then he was right in front of me face, so close his nose was almost touching my cheek.
I tried to run away but he grabbed me and tried to push me down. I almost fell but was caught in mid-air by someone, and then I was pulled away from the man.
Then they were standing right in front of me. I wanted to get up and run away but I couldn't move, I was so frightened.
I looked at them in horror, the tall blonde with like goldish eyes looked like he wanted to rip the one with the red eyes head off. I tried to scream for help but no sound would come out of my mouth.
The tall blonde gave the one with the red eyes a weird look and he ran off looking really frightened.
I was still on the grass when the tall blonde walked over to me. I tried to speak to him but was still in shock.
"Are you all right?" He asked me.
"Y-Ye-Yes", I stammered, "Who are you?"
"My name is Jasper, are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine but I think I hit my head when you put me down so quickly."
"Oh I'm sorry, what is your name?" He asked.
"My name is Seraphina." I replied, "Do you know who that man was?" I asked.
"Yes, unfortunately I do, his name is Jason, he is one of my uncle's old friends." he told me.
"How did you know I was in trouble?" I asked him curiously.
"I had been walking, when I came upon the two of you and I could tell by the look in your eyes you didn't know who he was."
"Oh well thanks for saving me." I said.
"No problem, where is your house? Let me walk you home." he requested.
I looked at him warily. I didn't know whether or not I should trust him. I was deciding if I did trust him when I kind of noticed he was making that same face he made when Jason ran away, and then I began to feel calmer.
Jasper took my hand and helped me off the ground and we began to walk.
"Oh, crap!" I put my hand to my head.
"What's wrong?" Jasper worriedly asked me.
"I forgot how to get home" I said blushing.
I tried to figure out which direction I came from when my cell phone started ringing, and Jasper asked, "Is that your phone?"
"Oh yeah, I just got it." I answered the phone, it was my mother wondering where I was.
I told my mother that I was near the forest and that I met somebody from town.
"How did you meet him?" my mother asked.
"I was walking around and I ran into him."
"What is his name?"
"His name is Jasper, He is very nice and he said he is willing to walk me home, oh yeah what is our address?" I asked my mother sheepishly.
"1916 East Black Street" my mother told me. "And make sure you don't forget that."
"Ok, we will be there in a little bit." I said.
I hung up with my mother and Jasper walked back over to me because he had left to give me some privacy. He asked me what my address was. I told him, and then I followed him.
We talked the whole way back to my house. I learned that Jasper is seventeen. He lives by himself in a loft on the outskirts of town. I learned that he moved here from Texas two years ago, and that he used to be the new kid in Port Angeles.
I told Jasper that I just moved from Oregon, because my mother had to relocate for her company, and that I am sixteen. I wasn't going to tell him about my father but I decided to.
I told him about my father dying in a plane crash on his way back from New York on a business trip. Jasper told me how sorry he was, and he gave me a little side hug which made me secretly flinch because Jasper's skin was ice cold. When we got to my house, he decided not to come inside and he said that he would meet my mother some other time.
"See you around." I called after Jasper as he was walking away from my house.
"Bye, Seraphina." Jasper said.
I walked into my house and told my mother about Jasper, and how I like him a lot even though I just met him. My mother wanted to know more about him but I couldn't tell her much more than I had already said.
I did mention something about his skin being really cold, like ice. We both thought that was weird since it was the beginning of fall and not very cold outside. I went to bed about an hour later and dreamed about Jasper.
