Shadow Star
Chapter 1
When Zoey was a little girl, She knew she had been different from all the other kids. She was an outcast and a freak of nature of sorts. It had all started when she was five years old and had touched her cool, but unfortunate black colored birthmark on her forehead. It was shaped like a moon which made her smile a bit since she always loved the night, but she never expected what would happen when she touched it.
She had been pulled into her past. Her fifth day of life to be exact. A women she had later found out was her mother carried her. Her soft black hair radiated from the moonlight as she carried her up a set of stairs and placed her down.
She had cried outright at the loss of her true mother's arms. She leaned down whispering words of sleep and forget. Zoey did as instructed and when she woke up the only thing she remembered was her 'mother' cradling her in her arms while her teenaged daughter April gave her daggers.
Ever since that night, She had started developing powers she couldn't even imagine. Her mother had found out and scolded her calling her a freak of nature, which in a way she was. That night, when she cried herself to sleep at age eleven. That's when it happened. My mother had been murdered in her sleep.
Fearing Zoey's safety, April got her out of the house and took her to a school that she never knew existed. Before she could ask anything, Zoey blacked out. That was the last time she saw April for at least a few more years. It turns out that April had taken her to a school for people and outcast just like her.
She had met Nefret and she had placed Zoey in classes that had mentally and physically exhausted her. Being new was never easy for anyone especially her. It had seemed like everyone had known each other and there she stood with a lunch tray and no one to sit with.
That's when he came up to her and smiled the most beautiful smile that made her heart race. He had piercing blue eyes with tossled blonde hair.
"Hi I'm Heath Luck. Who are you?"
She blushed slightly deciding whether or not to trust him. She decided that he name was safe enough.
"Zoey Redbird."
His eyebrows shot up, but he smiled anyway.
"Come sit with me and my friends, that is if you want to."
"I would love to."
Heath had introduced her to two other girls around her age. One was Stevie Rae her very best friend and the other one was her friend turned enemy Aphrodite. Now here she was seventeen years old a month away from turning eighteen and still learning to deal with her heritage and power. Hey no one said life was easy.
