Prologue: It had been four years since Cleo had seen any of her best friends and three for her family. All the girls and Will went off to far off colleges, soon after their families left town too. Her family even moved after they found out her mom and Zanes dad had gotten married without telling anyone. Along with Lewis, her friends had seemed to move on with their lives away from her. She stayed here; too afraid to leave Mako unprotected and let someone come across their secret.
One thing that saved her from going crazy was in fact Zane. He stayed behind when everyone left because he didn't know what he wanted to do in his life now. After their parents married they agreed to let them both stay at the house if they shared it. After a few short months they got closer, eventually becoming best friends and now almost like they had always been siblings.
Sadly their new lives were almost ruined last year when a man named Cole moved into town. He was smart, kind, and not to mention cute thus easily accepted by Cleo. Cole was also funny, charming and rich; he then hit it off with Zane, constantly buying new gadgets together. After a few short months they found out that he was not the good guy he was pretending to be.
Cole was actually a scientist doing test on Mako Island, after the last few years had had so much weird sightings and issues. While Zane and Cleo had been too trusting he had found out about Cleos secret and threaten to tell the world about her if she didn't let him do some experiments on her to find out more. She tried her best not to let Zane find out in case he did something rash that would make it all worse but in the end he found out anyway. Before he could do anything to stop it though, Cole took off with Cleo on a boat so that he could continue his experiments. It took weeks to track down his boat but when he did Zane came and rescued Cleo. They even got Cole arrested for kidnapping and got rid of all his research on Cleo and Mako Island.
After that though things had changed for Cleo, she was no longer so naive, she hardened to people, sticking even closer to Zane and now felt betrayed by the friends and family that left her behind. As for Zane he changed some too, he became extremely protective of Cleo, and started the process of buying Mako so he could close it off to others. She quit her job at the marina and went to work at a local night club, and went to school online most of the day. Zane was enrolled at a local college for business classes and had started to try racing professionally. They knew that things would never be the same.
What they didn't know, is that after four years of school, their friends were coming home…
