Hey everyone. Not doing much this spring break. So, I kept seeing fanfic like this and I began to wonder, What if I did that too? I kind of feel like a copycat, but I'll try and make it different. And if it is the same as someone else's, I apologize. I've never read all of them.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

I smile as I look out of the window from my room. The area is covered in a blanket of white, and the sunlight makes the snow sparkle. Even though I've lived in the mainland(America) for a few years, seeing snow still amazes me. I stretch my limbs, yawning and running my hands through my hair. "What a beautiful day for a walk."

My phone buzzes, alerting me to a text. I grab my IPhone 6 Plus. Its mom. Hurry and get dressed and meet us in the resort's cafe. Mom.

I text her back: Okay. Eve. Putting my phone down, I snatch a shirt and jeans from my suitcase. This Christmas, my family is spending it at a ski resort in West Virginia with my grandparents at a ski resort called Sled Mountain. They rarely get to see us, even though my sister, parents, and I have been living in the US since I was 14. So this trip was good for all of us, especially my parents.

In the bathroom, I stare at myself in the mirror, glaring at my impossibly blue-green eyes and brown hair. Twisting the tips of my waist-long hair in its braid, I scowl, trying to look scary. No such luck. I look like I'm thirteen. For the millionth time in my life, I wonder why the Heavenly Father made me look this way. I wish I looked like the rest of my family. Mom, dad, and Olivia all have blonde hair and black eyes, and my grandparents have similar looks. I'm the oddball of the family.

Of course, I'm adopted, so it makes sense. I love the story of how they found me on their doorstep. I had only been a few months old, and my mom and dad instantly fell in love with the baby of unknown origins. This was before my little sister was born, so Olivia didn't have any trouble in the sister department. Even though they weren't my real family, I treated them like they were, and I loved them enough to consider them my real family. Whatever reason my biological parents had for giving me up, I was fine. I didn't blame them. I loved the family I had right now.

Sighing, I walked out of the bathroom. Grabbing my scarf, jacket, beanie, and bag, I walk out of my room and lock the door, then head to the resort's cafe. A few minutes later, a plate of food in my hand, I join my parents, grandparents and sister at a table.

"Oh come on, dad," Olivia whines, looking at him in that way that tells me he just told her no to something. "Please? I can do this on my own."

My father, Jacob, smiles. "Sorry, sweetie. But I just can't take that risk. Remember what happened last year when you broke your arm after attempting to go by yourself? I don't want anything to happen to you when I'm not around."

She frowns, then turns to mom. "Mom, please tell him I'm capable of skiing on my own."

"She has gotten better the last year, Jacob," Mom says.

"Well, that is true, Abigail."

"So let her go on her own."

Dad doesn't look convinced. He turns to me. "Evelyn, what do you think about the situation?" I take a moment to take a bite of the eggs. The warmth of the food fills my chest. After swallowing, I say, "Liv is capable of taking care of herself. Besides, she's learned from her mistakes that day. She knows not to try a new move that is too advanced for her. If she sticks to the things she can do, she'll be fine."

My sister smiles at me. "Thanks."

"Of course. Now, where is my phone charger?"

Olivia huffs, "Geez, why are you asking me?" Then, with a sigh, "Its in my room. I forgot mine back home." I shake my head as mom and dad start laughing. As we eat our breakfast, we talk about what we'll be doing for the day. Olivia is, of course, going skiing, and Mom and Dad are joining Grandma and Grandpa at the game room the retreat has. I'm taking a walk in the forest. On the trail, though, since the mountains can be pretty dangerous sometimes.

"Be careful, you might run into a mountain lion," Liv warns me.

"I'll be fine." I stand up, finished with my food. "See you guys!"

"Bye, sweetheart."

"Have fun."

"Don't get eaten out there!"

I roll my eyes. My sister always considers the worst will happen. Nothing bad will happen to me, at least nothing life-threatening. I did research, and in the past few years, there have only been ten reported sightings of mountain lions in the area. I should be safe.

A voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "You know, staring off into space like that will only make you look stupid, and then no one will date you." I sigh and turn to see Ethan Cross smirking at me. All the girls swooned over him because he's the star of the football team at our high school, has the best grades and because he has the looks to go with it. Tan skin, toned muscles, light brown eyes, and the kind of hair that asian men have: long and thick, touching his shoulders, the color of night.

Every girl I know and their mother always say how handsome he is, like a model, and all my classmates wish they could date him. I don't, though. To me, he's like a brother. I smile. "Isn't that how you like your girls? Looks of a goddess, I.Q. of a box of crayons? Wait, no. They have to have tempers as well, because who doesn't love a bitch?"

Ethan shakes his head. "Oh, come on. Are you still pissed that Courtney vandalized your locker?" Courtney is his ex-girlfriend. A few months after I first moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, he broke up with her. After that, we started hanging out, and ever since then she's been out to get me. "Besides, we all know you have perfect grades, and you aren't that pretty."

"What are you talking about? I'm beautiful."

"Yeah right." I scowl at him, and he laughs. "Sorry, sorry. So, where are you headed? I can tag along, if you want." Ethan had come with us because Mom and Dad invited him, while his parents decided to go to Paris. His father is a gifted pianist, and his mother a dancer and singer. They wanted to perform in the City of Love, and Ethan didn't mind spending Christmas with us. But I could tell he was a bit sad that they wouldn't be together this winter break.

With that thought in mind I smile. "I'd like that. I'm just going for a walk through the woods."

"That sounds fun. I'm in."

"Evelyn!" We turn to see Mom running to me. She says, "Here. In case you get hungry." She hands me two bags of cookies. She smiles at Ethan. "Hello, Ethan. Did you get to your room alright last night?"

"Yes, Mrs. Bell. Thanks again for letting me come along with you guys."

"Of course, it was our pleasure. Well, have fun!" Then she's gone. We leave the lodge as soon as Ethan grabs a warmer jacket. The wind bites my skin, and I shiver. For the next two hours, we walk through the leafless trees, taking pictures on our phones and talking about anything and everything.

Just as I feel ready to turn around and head back, something stops me. "Hey, do you see that strange light?"

"Huh? What light?"

"Over there." I point in the direction of one of the mountains, farther north.

"Maybe its just a reflection of the sunlight on the snow."

I shake my head. "No. That isn't it. It has a sort of red tint to the light." Impulsively, I walk off the trail and in the direction of the strange light. I hear Ethan yell, "Come back!" When I look behind me, he's running after me, as best as he can with the snow around us. We walk for a while, Ethan trying and failing to convince me to go back to the trail. Eventually, he falls silent. After walking some more, we come to a small clearing and, in the center, is a giant boulder. Ethan sighs. "So we walked off the trail just so you could see a rock? This is one of the dumbest things that has ever happened to me."

I ignore him, because even though it should be a normal boulder, there's one thing that is off: its the light that I had seen. How is that possible? My mind tries to be logical. Maybe there's something on the rock to make the light. "Hey Ethan. Is there anything on the boulder, anything making a light shine off the rock?"

"No. Look I said I was sorry earlier, so stop being stupid and drop the act, please." Oh. My. Gosh. Not only is the light really and not just some trick, but Ethan thinks I'm messing around with him. "There really is a light coming from there. Watch, I'll prove that I'm seeing it." I walk up to the rock and reach out to the light. I'm a bit scared, but I hate it when people call me a liar. It gives me the worst feeling in the world. As soon as I touch the light, it fades, leaving in my hands(to my shock and confusion) a moonstone pendant, and a hole in the rock.

Okay. Maybe I'm going crazy. Although I don't feel like I'm losing my mind, but then again, that's what all people who go insane say.

Ethan walks up to me as I try to figure out what just happened. "Huh? How long have you had that necklace? And I don't remember a hole being in the rock."

Wait. So Ethan could see it now? This is weird. As I study the pendant and the hole, I realize what its for. "Oh! I put the pendant in here." And with that, I stick the pendant into the empty space to fill the hole. For a moment nothing happens. My friend snorts. "Okay. Well, I'm officially putting this down as one of my weirdest days ever—"

Suddenly we're washed in a bright light, so bright that even when I close my eyes, it burns. While I'm covering my eyes from the painful glow, I feel a tug on my hand. I open my eyes, thinking its Ethan trying to pull me away. But it isn't. My hand is being sucked into the rock, which is as bright as the sun. I try to pull my hand back, but its stuck. I put my other hand on the rock to push, but it's no use, and I realize too late that I shouldn't have done that. "Ethan!" I scream, panicking.

I see him open his eyes and look at what's happening. "Evelyn!" Grabbing me from behind, he pulls as hard as he can, even though it hurts to be pulled at my abdomen. I'm being pulled in faster the harder he tries to free me. What is happening? Why is it happening? I've never been so scared in my entire life.

"Let me go! You'll get sucked in too!" I nearly sob. Oh man. Ethan stares at me, eyes wide, watching as my tears start to fall while getting dragged into…whatever this is. Ethan grits his teeth, grinding out, "Never. Not gonna happen."

Most of my body is in now. Which means he's getting pulled in too. "Help!" I scream, not caring that I sound like I'm dying. "Someone help! Please!"

"Geez, not so loud in my ear," he mutters. "It's better than nothing," I snap. Just before I'm completely pulled in, I look back at my friend. "I'm scared," I whimper.

He smiles at me. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I promise."

Then I'm sucked in. And I fade away into darkness.

So, you guys like it so far? Sorry about repeating words over and over. I'm really trying, I really am! Again, please tell me what you think. Imma need all the help I can get. Thank you for reading! :)

(Also I will try to make this fanfic only one P.O.V.)
