A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for reading. This chapter's really short but I almost didn't have a Prologue and decided to put this in. The rest of the chapters wll be way longer and I'll try to get them out quickly.

Prologue

The wind rushed past me for a few seconds before I hit the black surface headfirst. I had braced for impact but I went straight through with a splash. Water.

It was freezing. So cold that I went numb instantly. With the darkness, quiet, and lack of pain. I stopped. For a minute, I didn't struggle, didn't move at all. Just floated.

I heard another splash above me and started swimming back up to the surface.

"Em, wake up," my dad was saying, pounding on the door, pulling me out of the dream. "You don't want to be late for your first high school swim practice."

"Fine," I said. I rolled over and embraced the warmth of my blankets.
