It was way past midnight on that beach in Hawaii, but I went swimming anyways. It meant that I didn't have to worry about sheilding my marks.
I was originally from Texas, a small town in the panhandle. That is where I was when Nyx appeared infront of me. She explained that, even though I had yet to be marked , she needed my help. She had had the help of Zoey Redbird, but she could no longer ask Zoey for help.
Zoey was heartbroken after losing a child, so she wanted my help. And I helped her.
That's how I got my marks. The marks that cover every inch of my body. I could easalie make them disappear, but I didn't like to. They were a part of me.
After i helped her I went back home. I didn't know how to hide them back then. My mom had spent hours scrubbing my skin, saying they were only marker and that I needed top stop dreaming.
Eventually she gave up and told me to go and take a shower. Instead I packed a few of my things and left; to the last place she expected me to go. She new I loved Washington, England, and Italy. Not Hawaii, though. She didn't know that I loved the beach.
I continued walking into the water, showing off my spirarling black tatoos. I swam as far from the shore as I could get.
I saw something in the distance that looked like a surfer but I just told myself that it was a boat, wanting to be alone. i tossed my knee-length black braided hair behind my shoulder.
Author's Note- I've noticed that not many people continue reading after the first or second chapter. I realize that they are very short, but I hadn't known when I posted them. I promise that the rest of the chapters are longer and alot better, the first two chapter are more like introductions or prologes to the story. Please read on.
