"That's where you're still wrong, honey," he said darkly. "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for me. I wanted you, so now you're mine-that's all there is to it. And by being mine, if someone hurts you, they're hurting me. And I am not one to take that disrespect lightly. Do you understand me?" "No." "You will." He knelt next to me, his face hovering over mine, his arms on either side of the machine, caging me beneath his upper body. "I will ruin you-I'll fit you to my mold; I'll take that goody-two-shoes girl you are, and turn her into a force to be reckoned with. One that's mine." I quivered. "All mine." "I..."

Hailey Fell didn't fit in at Pinemarsh High, but if she'd known what was about to happen, she would've taken getting smoothies dumped on her head any day... Hailey didn't want to fit in anyway. The idea of perfect for Pinemarsh was not something she wanted to associate herself with. She had her dad and best friend Nolan, and she liked spending most of her time in the forest where she lived with her dad. But life wasn't easy when the two most popular people in High school had it out for you. She had been counting the days until graduation since kindergarten and now that she started her Senior year, her freedom was finally in sight. Then something strange started happening to her. Something, or someone, showed up in the forest. The shadow followed her around but never came close enough for her to see who, or what, it was. But this was only the start. Hailey was about to find out that she played a critical role in a world that she didn't know existed. Whether she liked that role or not, she had no choice but to take it. Even if she didn't know what it was going to cost her.
