"Are you... lost?" Someone asked, her tone impatient. I stopped scanning the room to find the woman behind the voice. I blinked. She had the most luminous blue eyes I had ever seen. Even in the dim glow of the bar they glowed brightly, like her pupils were some type of smooth stone at the bottom of a clear blue ocean. Within her blue there flickered tiny speckles of silver, which gave her an icy, somewhat stony appeal. But it was her slight, lopsided smile that erased any signs of wanting to be alone. No wonder this bar was so popular. "Uh, no," I said, holding up the Help Wanted sign I had snagged from the front window. The woman's cool eyes flickered between the sign and me. She didn't say anything, only looked slightly thoughtful as slender fingers raked through her long blonde hair. "What can you do?" She finally asked, definitely not expecting me to be able to do much of anything at all. She'd be right. "Anything and everything," I answered-lied-instantly, hoping I didn't look too desperate, didn't sound too eager. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't worked a day in my life. My hands were used to weekly manicures not hard labor. But desperate times call for desperate measures. The blonde appeared thoughtful again. Those magnificent eyes gave me a once over, slow and steady. You could see the cogs turning in her head as she considered it. I decided to try and sound more convincing. "I have many skills," I added. Okay, so I stole that from Xena, but I was hoping it worked as well for me as it did for her. The blonde lifted a sculpted brow and the smile was, once again, back on her lips. She seemed amused. Maybe she was a Xena fan? "Alright... I'll start you off cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, doing the dishes..." Crap.

GIRLXGIRL Have you ever heard the story of the girl in the well? No? Well, ha ha...ironic, you've come to the right place. Three years ago and deep within the Oregon wilderness just outside the little town of Hood River, a young girl vanished into thin air, never to be seen again. She was an avid hiker and her family and friends chose to believe she had fallen to her death in a place of seclusion. But as the rumors spread, it became clear that something much more sinister had taken place. When seventeen year old Evangeline Pierce and her best friend Jupiter (strange I know), stumble upon a mystical and no doubt impossibly old wishing well in the forest not far from her new home, they decide to check it out. Unbeknownst to them however, this is no ordinary well. It is a bridge to another dimension, a whole new world (cue Aladdin) where magic exists and dark entities hunt in the night for their next victim. Laughing off the spooky stories, the two girls approach the well, intending to make a wish. Instead, Evangeline's clumsiness and a misplaced rock send her tumbling over the stone and into the murky depths, where everything goes black. When she wakes, dazed and confused but very much alive, she finds herself face to face with the very girl that went missing all those years ago. Only this time, she's not the bubbly person Eva once knew her as. Brutally attacked and immersed deep into the Unseelie and Seelie fae fued and not a friend in sight, Eva must find a way to survive it all if means ever returning to her world.
