POV- Zoey
"Who are you and why are you in my body!?" I shout through a purple foggy mist. I was standing in what seemed to be a meadow with blue and green flowers blooming. Across the meadow was a reflection of me, except she had longer hair and fox-like features.

"I am you, Zoey. It's time for you to wake me up," the figure says and points at me, "wake me up and find out who you are."

I tilt my head in confusion, "but I already know who I am... Zoey Makela, a girl from Finland getting ready to go study at the Galaxy Garrison."

The figure laughs and responds, "that's what you think, Zona."

My body ended up jolting me out of my bed causing me to knock over my nightstand. I sat there out of breath and confused. Confused by the girl in my dream and Confused as to what she called me. Zona.

For weeks now, I've been having the same dream like I just had. The girl was always across the meadow and was almost identical to me. Each time I had that dream, she told me to wake her up and called me Zona. It's kind of freaky, not going to lie. Now that I think of it, that's not the only thing freaky about me. For as long as I can remember, I've been able to feel heartbeats. Yes, heartbeats, and I had no clue why... until now.

"Zoey, are you okay," a voice shouts from the outside of my door, "I heard a loud crash."-

At first, I thought it was because I was a psychic but sadly, that wasn't the case. I found out not that long ago that I can change my physical form. You wanna know how? The dang heartbeats. I can change into whatever I focus on because of the heartbeats...

Come to think of it, I could feel any heartbeat, whether they were human or non-human. I've never known how or why I was the only being that could do that. I never knew until now...

"I'm okay. Don't worry," I say, finally catching my breath. I carefully jump out of bed and begin to clean up the mess of my nightstand.

"If you say so," the voice says, "go back to bed. It's three am." I finish cleaning up and lay back down. I tried to go back to sleep but my mind wondered. I thought about the girl, my aunt, everything. More specifically, I thought about my... abilities...

"You're weird. No way you could feel heartbeats. You freak!"

"Freak! Freak! Freak!"

"I am not a freak!! S-stop it!! I-it's true! I really can sense heartbeats!"

Ever since I was in grade school I've been made fun of for being different and for being able to do what I can shapeshift. Though, at the time, I didn't know I was a shapeshifter. At the time, I couldn't explain who or what I was. At the time, I also had no idea who my parents were. I never thought of learning about them until now... until Zona began popping up.

"Zoey, darling!! Can you come and help me wash the cherries!" Called my aunt from the back porch of her tiny and rather comfortable farmhouse. She was folding a dish towel. Meanwhile, I rummaged through a box of what seemed to be old car parts, metal, wood, trash, you name it. I was looking for one specific thing. What was that thing exactly? A nine-inch PBC pipe. I was so focused that I didn't bother to look up.
