Chapter 1: Year and a half ago.
"Oh my god!" A girl with red hair, blue eyes, and dressed in a obelisk uniform said dropping the the knife to the ground. The blood running down the blade as her tears ran down her face. All she had wanted was to scare the girl, scare he into stop dating her crush. She didn't even know how it happened, but now another girl with long blonde hair, so long the end of her hair could not avoid getting soaked in blood and the clearest blue eyes was lying on ground and no longer breathing. The blonde hair girl was not in her uniform, she was wearing a red t-shirt with a black Spanish skirt, and she was wearing a what use to be brown, but now red jacket. "Alpha…" The red headed girl saying the name of the girl she had just killed. Alpha the daughter of the chancellor, Alpha duel academy's second best student, Alpha the girl who was loved by duel academy's best student, Alpha the girl who was no longer alive. Cosette stared at herself for a moment wondering how could it have gotten this far.
"Cosette!" Cosette's brother said coming through the clearing.
"No don't!" Cosette yelled, but it was to late, Logan a boy with short red hair and blue eyes came through and saw his blood covered sister and the girl who's only mistake was loving the boy of Cosette's dreams. Logan's eyes widen at the sight and looked up at his sister who obviously sent Alpha to her doom.
"Cosette, how…why?" Logan asked.
"I…I didn't mean for it to get this far, I was only going to threaten her and she started to fight me." Cosette said "My knife slipped, it was an accident!" Logan grabbed her shoulders.
"This isn't a time to panic!" Logan whispered in a stern voice "What's done is done and nothing can change that."
"Even if that were true, they'll know I killed her." Cosette said in panic "They'll….They'll send me to prison."
"You're not going anywhere because no one is going to find out!" Logan said "Stay right here." Logan ran through the forest and returned and hour later with blankets and shovels. Later on by the beach they put the last shovel of dirt into the hole, where Alpha's body was placed. Logan patted the whole down, and looked up at his sister.
"Go back to your dorm, clean yourself up and burn your uniform." Logan told her "No one will ever find out about this, you'll be safe, and the only thing you'll worry about is moving on with your life." Cosette was still crying but nodded. She began to walk away but Logan stopped her. "Cosette, we can't do this again, this goes way to far, you can't obsess over Zane anymore, promise me you'll leave him alone."
"I promise." Cosette said, walking back through the forest. Meanwhile back at obelisk blue dorms a young Zane Truesdale stood from his balcony; he woke up because he just had a feeling. A feeling that something horrible happened, little did he know that the love of his life, died on that night.
(A year and a half later.)
Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale were running to their class, not wanting to get extra homework or some other punishment for missing another stupid class.
"I can see the building Syrus! We're going to make it!" Jaden said picking up the pace a little more.
"Jaden! Slow down we have a few more minutes." Syrus said.
"Two minutes isn't enough time!" Jaden said, not even stopping to look at Syrus. Syrus thought it was weird that Jaden didn't think two minutes was enough time. Jaden seemed to think there was time for everything. Alexis was walking when she saw Jaden and Syrus.
"Hey guys where are you….?" The guys did not hear Alexis as they ran past her and grabbed the door to the building only to find out it was locked.
"Hey, who locked the door?" Syrus called out.
"Don't tell me you guys didn't read the announcements." Alexis said walking towards them.
"And if we didn't" Jaden asked. Alexis sighed.
"There are no Classes today…" Alexis said.
"Really? Why." Syrus asked.
"It didn't say why, there just isn't." Alexis said, Alexis started walking away but then turned back "By the way, have you two seen Zane today?"
"Nope." Jaden replied
"Okay, Thanks anyway." Alexis replied.
"So Syrus we have the day off, what do you want to do?" Jaden asked.
"I don't know, we have a whole day off. Race you back to the dorms!" Syrus yelled beginning to make his way back to the dorms.
"That's not fair!" Jaden yelled running after Syrus. Meanwhile on docks by the light house Zane was looking out into the ocean, his thoughts drifted to about three years ago.
(Flashback.)
It was a cold foggy night. Zane Truesdale sat on the dock, looking out to the sea. He didn't get it, he was a first year freshmen but he was already the best in the school, and he already had plenty of friends, including his best friend Atticus Rhodes, why did he feel like something was missing. Like something that was lost was waiting to be found and cherished? Zane sighed this is what he always felt, incomplete without reason. It happened at art school, it happened at boarding school, and if even happened at duel prep. He always felt like something more was waiting. Zane knew he was always an over achiever but this was a different feeling, a feeling that wouldn't go away.
"Hey kid! What are you doing out here!" Zane herd someone say.
"Mind your own…." He was about to say business when he saw her. She had long blonde hair which flew behind her. She also had blue eyes as deep as the water itself. Zane didn't know what dorm she was in, because she was wearing a black sweater with a red skirt. She continued to glare at him.
"Sorry, I was just curious." She said folding her arms showing off her form.
"No I'm sorry, this is just where I come to think." Zane told her.
"That makes two of us then." The girl said sitting next to Zane. Zane noticed her leather bracelets. "Hey don't you roam around the obelisk public dorm." The public dorm was for the students who parents didn't mind the boys and girls dorming together, which weren't very many students. Atticus was one of the students who roomed there, so Zane often hung out there.
"Yeah, do you room there?" Zane asked. She nodded. "What's you're name?"
"Alpha Sheppard" She said sticking her hand out.
"That's an unusual name, wait Sheppard, are you related to the chancellor?" Zane asked.
"He's my father." Alpha told him, Zane didn't believe her she was Sheppard's daughter. The girl looked nothing like him, she had fun seeking attitude just like him, but every other feature was different. "I look like my Mother." Alpha said noticing his shock.
"So, if you room in the public dorm, you must know Atticus Rhodes." Zane said
"Of course I do, he's the only person besides me who likes American idol in that dorm. Every show we listen to the performance and then we mute the judges and do impressions of them, Atticus is Randy, and I'm Paula." Alpha explained.
"Who's Simon?" Zane asked, he had actually never watched American Idol, but he read things about the truthful but rude judge.
"We take turns, but it would be a lot more fun to have a third person there." Alpha said "So what do you do for fun?"
"Study, read, duel…" Zane said getting a off look from Alpha.
"And?" She asked.
"That's it." Zane told her. "I'm not exactly exciting am I?"
"Honestly no." Alpha told him.
"Nice Simon." He said.
"Well, do you play any sports?" Alpha asked.
"Not anymore, I use to play baseball but then I just got bored. It's strange dueling the only thing I haven't gotten bored with yet." Zane said.
"You're not bored with me yet?" Alpha asked.
"No, not at all." Zane said.
"Okay how do I keep from making you bored?" Alpha asked tapping her chin. Zane laughed, Alpha made him laugh, something so few people can do. "Oh I know, do you know how to dance?" Alpha said pulling him up.
"What?!" Zane said in laughter but he had to admit this was getting a bit weird.
"Come on I'll show you how, Have you ever waltz?" Alpha asked.
"No." Zane answered.
"Here, put your left hand on my waist and grab my hand with your right." Alpha said putting her hand on Zane's hand to put it on her waist then taking his hand with the other. "Just do what I say, back, forward, spin, back, forward, back, spin me, forward, back." In no time Zane was able to follow the steps, even lead a little.
"You're a quick learner." Alpha pointed out.
"Thanks, it's something I get from My Mother." Zane told her.
"Really? Is your Mother a business woman?" Alpha asked.
"Stay at home mom." Zane told her. "She's a bit of old fashion woman."
"She probably wouldn't agree with me then." Alpha said "I think it's okay if you choose to be a house wife, but you shouldn't really say that's where a woman belongs."
"That's what I think." Zane said, he had never liked someone this much just from talking to them for a few minutes.
"It sounds like you have a lot to think about." Alpha told him looking at her watch. "Shit!" she shouted.
"What?" Zane asked.
"I was suppose to meet my friend a few minutes ago." She told him "I have to go." She started to run down the docks but was stopped by Zane.
"Alpha…" He said. She turned around and stared at him.
"Yes?" She said.
"Do you mine if, this Wednesday I watch American Idol with you and Atticus?" Zane asked. Alpha smiled at him.
"Only if you're Simon." She told him, Zane laughed.
"But you do a great impression." Zane said getting Alpha to laugh with him. "I guess I could pull off a British accent."
"It starts at eight." She told him. "See you then."
"See you then." He said watching Alpha turn around a run into the fog, a new feeling he had never felt before came in. It was a feeling of being whole, like he could be honest and fun around Alpha. Like he didn't have anything to prove to her, like she already knew who he was. He liked Alpha, but he would never imagine it would turn into something more.
(Flashback ended.)
Zane throw a rock into the water in anger. It had been almost a year and a half since his girlfriend had gone missing. He thought about how they met all the time, but never showed it until today.
"What's the point in that?" Alexis said walking towards Zane.
"I'm releasing anger." Zane said in a simple response.
"What are you angry about?" Alexis asked. Zane bit his lip, he never told anyone about how much he missed Alpha, most of the students knew Zane and Alpha ether graduated, went missing, or forgot about it. Alpha had went missing right before Alexis came to duel academy. Yet Alexis was his best friend, the friend he could talk to.
"A year and a half ago today, my girlfriend Alpha went missing." Zane admitted, getting a sad look from Alexis.
"That's awful, wait is it that Alpha Sheppard girl Atticus told me about?" Alexis asked, Zane nodded. "I'm sorry Zane; no one knows what happened to her?" Zane nodded again.
"She's not on the island, we checked everywhere on the island, but I have a feeling that she's no where." Zane said trying to hold back tears but it was no use, a tear dripped down his face.
"I thought Atticus was gone too Zane, But he wasn't, I bet you anything Alpha's still alive." Alexis told him, wrapping her hands around Zane to comfort him.
"Thanks Lexi." He said wiping his eyes; he loved Alexis like she was his sister, but sometimes he wondered if it could turn into more. He always silently wanted to ask Alexis out but could never bring himself to ask her for several reasons. One was of course she was in love with Jaden Yuki; it was quite obvious so he didn't even try to fight against Jaden. Secondly he believed the only reason he loved Alexis more than a friend was because she was a lot like Alpha in both looks and personality. She had hair that flew like Alpha's. Alexis was also rebellious and free minded, just like Alpha was. But no matter how much he wished she was, Alexis was not and would never become Alpha.
Jaden was hanging out in front of the class building alone with his thoughts, he wanted to ask Alexis out but it was hard for him. Alexis didn't make him nervous, but what he messed it up and they could never be friends again. Jaden decided long ago their friendship wasn't worth losing. He sighed and looked up to see Alexis walking with a sad looking Zane. Jealousy and depression hit him in a instant.
"Why should I care?" Jaden asked himself, not expecting a response, but he got one anyway.
"Because you love her, love sucks doesn't it? You watch those you love being torn away from you and being attached to others. That's love for you isn't it?" A girl said, Jaden turned to see a girl right behind him. The girl hand long blonde hair, with blue eyes, she was beautiful. She wore a red t-shirt with a black Spanish skirt and a brown jacket. The girls name was of course Alpha.
"Tell me about it." Jaden responded to filled with Jealousy to question Alpha. Alpha gave Jaden a shocked look.
"Whoa, Whoa, You can hear me?!" She said with a shocked tone of voice.
"Your right behind me of course I can hear you." Jaden said in a confused tone.
"There's no way you can see me, let alone hear me." Alpha told him.
"Yeah I can your right there, you have blonde hair, blue eyes, and you're wearing a red t-shirt with a black skirt and a brown jacket." Jaden told the girl. No understanding the why Alpha was so surprised he could see her.
"Oh my god, no this can't happen. You can't see me, you can't hear me." Alpha told him "You can't!"
"Why!?" Jaden asked.
"Because I'm dead." The Alpha told him. Jaden just began to laugh. "What the hell is so funny?"
"You said you where you dead, come on I may be a slytheir, but I'm not stupid." Jaden told her "Let me guess the obelisk guys put you up to this right?"
"This isn't a stupid joke, I'm really dead, and you can see me." Alpha said putting her hand to her head trying to understand everything herself.
"Look, you seem like a nice girl, so please just stop this." Jaden told her.
"I wish I were lying, if I were maybe I'd be alive then both our problems would be solved." Alpha told him.
"What do you mean?" Jaden asked he was sure it was a joke, but was the joke pulling him in?
"Zane is my boyfriend, or at least was, before I died." Alpha told him. Jaden just broke out to heavier laughter. "Damn it stop laughing!" Alpha told him in a serious tone.
"Look I'm sorry, but you wanna know how many girls wish they were Zane's girlfriend? If this joke is to get closer to him, it won't work." Jaden said wiping tears away from his laughter.
"If you're so sure I'm joking go up to Zane and that girl and ask them if they see me!" Alpha said in an angry voice.
"Okay." Jaden said walking over to Zane and Alexis with Alpha following him.
"Hey Zane, Hey Alexis." He said still kind of giggling.
"Hi Jaden." Zane said in a sad way.
"Hey Jaden, what's so funny?" Alexis asked him.
"Okay guys, this crazy girl behind me saying she's dead and Zane's her boyfriend. I thought I've seen all of Zane's crazy stalkers but this girl is the craziest." Jaden told them.
"Shut up young blood." Alpha told him.
"Young blood? What kind of name is that?" Jaden asked not adding he kind of liked the name. Zane and Alexis just gave him a weird look.
"Jaden, who are you talking about?" Alexis asked.
"Come on guys, the girl's right behind me." Jaden told them.
"Jaden, no ones there." Zane told him.
"Owned!" Alpha said "I've never felt so good about being dead, then again I never felt good about being dead."
"What's your deal?" Jaden asked.
"Zane's just upset about something; it's not a big deal." Alexis told Jaden in a bit of an angry tone of voice.
"Not him, her." Jaden said pointing to Alpha.
"If only you knew how crazy you sound right now Young Blood." Alpha told him.
"Jaden, I think you need some rest." Zane told him walking away with Alexis. Jaden just looked at them.
"Aw man, you just made my day, thanks." Alpha told Jaden laughing as much as Jaden was when he was told by Alpha she was dead.
"How…what?" Jaden said.
"How many times do I have to tell you Young Blood? I'm dead!" Alpha said who had stopped laughing.
"My names not Young blood. It's Jaden." Jaden told her.
"It doesn't matter, now that you see that, I need your help finding out who murdered me." She told him.
"First of all, I don't even know who you are, second of all who knows if the person who murdered you is still here" Jaden told her.
"Alpha." She said.
"What?" Jaden said in a confused way.
"My name, it's Alpha Sheppard." Alpha told him. "There now will you help me?"
"No!" Jaden said. "Look I'm sorry but I can't help you, I'm not a detective."
"But you're the only person who can hear me or see me." Alpha said following him as he began walking towards his dorm room. "You're the only person who can help me, besides I have to say goodbye to my Father and Zane."
"Your Father?" Jaden said.
"Chancellor Shepard." Alpha told him. "Please help me."
"Alpha, I wish I could help…But I'm a duelist, and I don't know anything about solving a murder or anything, I just can't help you." Jaden said.
"Oh you are going to help me." Alpha said with an angry glare. "You forget Young Blood, You're the only person who can hear or see me."
(Later that night.)
"Hey Young Blood! Are you still Awake!" Alpha yelled in a screechy yelling voice, which she obviously had to adjust from her pure sweet voice, while standing outside the Jaden's dorm room "Well if you are! I was thinking, blonde sweet heart and Zane really do make a good couple, you know he's sweet, kind, caring, obelisk hottie, take that back total hottie. I can't imagine how she's keeping her hands off of him." Jaden herd enough he got out of his bed and walked opened the door and shouting.
"Shut up!" Jaden yelled, he normally was nice and polite, but Alpha was just being annoying.
"Not until you help me!" Alpha told him.
"I said no!" Jaden said.
"Hey Yuki! Shut up!" A slytheir downstairs yelled up to him.
"Sorry!" Jaden said walking back into his dorm room and slamming the door and getting back into his bed. But Alpha wasn't about to give up that easily.
"Well if you won't help me!" Alpha yelled in her scratchy voice again. "Then at least let me confined in you! I'm worried about Zane getting with the blonde girl."
"Her names Alexis!" Jaden shouted surprisingly not waking Syrus.
"Oh sorry, Alexis. Well anyway I can just imagine the two of them" Alpha said with a cruel smile "Him feeling her up, Both of them breathing hard when they stop tongue wrestling, Him slowly biting her neck…." Jaden pulled open the door and went straight into Alpha's face.
"Stop that you sick minded freak, and Are you sure you aren't Crowlers daughter? Because you certainly enjoy tormenting me like he does!" Jaden said in a stern whisper.
"Crowler my Dad? Don't make me puke." Alpha said with her sly smile getting bigger. "Am I getting to you Young Blood?"
"MY NAME IS JADEN!" Jaden yelled in a voice so loud it took Alpha by surprise, so much she fell backwards and off the balcony. She screamed as she fell. "Alpha!" Jaden yelled closing his eyes as she hit the ground, or so he thought.
That's the first Chapter, wow it's really long, please review if you like it.
