CHAPTER 1
The big smile on his handsome face vanished when he saw me.
"Zoey!"
Heath's voice did it. My memory rushed back. The sadness knocked me to my knees. He was up and running toward me so that he caught me in his arms as I fell.
"But you dont belong here! You're dead!" I sobbed against his chest.
"Zo, babe, this is the Otherworld. It's not me who doesn't belong here- it's you."
Memory crashed over me, drowning me with despair and darkness and reality as my world shattered, and everything went black.
He pulled away, and started fishing again.
"Heath.." I managed to croak.
"What's up Zo?"
"I'm sorry.." I whispered.
"Hey, don't worry about it Zo, there was nothing you could do, Kalona was way to fast, anyway I feel more at peace now." He cocked his head to the side thoughtfully.
"That's not what I meant, though I am sorry for that too. I'm sorry for bringing poo into your life, and destroying it." I murmered. Heath smiled at the use of my word 'poo'.
"Hey Zo, I kinda got to admit I liked being dragged into it. I got to spend time with you, and meet your new friends." He smirked. "Speaking of friends, they are trying to save you as we speak, go to them Zo.. If your ready." Heath said.
Tears started to pool in my eyes. "Okay Heath. You know I love you right?"
"Of course I do Zo. I love you too." We smiled at eachother from our tears, and the dream shattered.

Blackness surrounded me, drowning me with saddness. After what seemed like hours, I started hearing my friends voices.
"She's dead isn't she?" Erin sobbed.
"I sure hope not twin, I need her." Shaunee chimed in.
"Zoey, please wake up! Zoey! Please, please." Aphrodite broke into sobs, giving my shoulder one last pathetic shake.
"Zoey, I love you. Zoey please come back. Zoey please, please." Stark was crying.
I want to get back to my friends, but I couldn't. Why can't I?!
As Heath said, you will go back when your soul is ready....
I was ready, but my stupid soul wasn't? It wasn't fair. All of a sudden I started hear my friends voices, and I coughed.
