It isn't easy to start a new life. To leave behind
everything you know to go to a strange place full of strange people. Especially
when you're sixteen and everyone you love thinks you're dead.
My name is Abigail Freeman and this is exactly the
situation I found myself in after discovering the shocking truth about my
heritage. Before Zack came into my life, before I knew anything about dragons
and powers and secrets, I thought I was an ordinary girl. No different from my
friends and family. Once I discovered the truth, everything changed.
Excerpt
“Stupid cups,” I muttered, as I watched them fall for what
felt like the thousandth time. I was getting really irritated and a lingering
headache wasn’t improving my mood any. Glaring at the cups still stacked on the
table, I wanted them to blow away. All of them. As soon as the thought entered
my mind, a big wind whooshed from behind me and sent the cups blowing across
the grass.
A smile started to form on my lips, but it quickly died when I
saw the tense expression on Alice’s face. “What?” I asked.
“The destructive capabilities of our power is astounding,” she
said with unusual solemnity. “You have no idea of the things you can do without
even meaning to. You’re frustrated now, with these cups? What if you get
frustrated with a person? How would you feel if you threw someone up against a
wall or out a window? Stressful emotions are a trigger for your powers. If you
can’t control them, someone could get hurt.”
My momentary elation quickly faded. I thought of the
waitress at the truck stop, covered in glass and blood, her dead eyes staring
into mine. I never wanted to be responsible for doing something so horrible.
