Jacey has always been told she is perfect the way she is. The thing though is she doesn't feel perfect. Starring into the mirror isn't something she's looks forward to. With a scar running up her jaw, and her blue eye. It just doesn't feel right. Being teased by peers is one thing, but when children question her looks it's another. When her mother and aunt are ripped from her life, Jacey tries to a just. But with her father a budding acoholic and the struggles that come along with high school, Jacey finds life becoming more unbearable. Trying to cope Jacey does the only thing she feels like she can ever do. Run away. She can't even properly run being confined to a wheel chair. But maybe in all that running and hiding, when she walks she'll find what she needs the most.

Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
