❝I saw her. But the surprising thing was, she saw me too.❞

Meet Lyra Jin. She's a seventeen year old girl who has depressive psychosis. She can also see a ghost - yes, singular. And she has a dark past which she'd hidden from everyone... but will she finally reveal it to the boy that stood in front of her car?

Meet Orion Somnium. He's a seventeen year old boy who crossed paths with a girl he'd never met. By standing in front of her car.

Oh, and I should mention - he's dead.

Both teens had a 'trust no one' policy. But maybe, just maybe, it might become 'trust one'.

***                                                     ***                                                        ***                                                  ***

Orion: I guess, now, that I see the meaning behind 'death is just the beginning.'

It all started when I woke up in the middle of nowhere, having no memory of how I got there. And it continued with the realisation that no one could see me... leading to the epiphany that I was a ghost.

But then I met someone. A girl. I could describe her in many ways... dark, depressing, suicidal... but also funny. Caring, if you gave her someone to care for. And the best company I'd had in a long time.

Of course, I didn't know that at the beginning. I thought it was all a game until the road began getting darker and more twisted, more mysterious. We didn't know what we were dealing with. Even the schools were filled with criminals hiding secrets. 

The thing is, did I really want to know how I died? I wasn't sure. But I guess the most important question is...

Do you?

She saved the child and gained his death note, the shinigami eyes, healing and self-healing, the power to bring back to dead, and knowing whenever someone has been killed using a death note.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does.

No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect.

"I dreamed about you." she leaned closer, and I knew she was preparing herself to catch my reaction. "You were a wolf." I tried my best to hide my anxiety, and tried innocence. "A wolf?" I hope she didn't catch the tremor. "Mm-hm. A wolf. A were-wolf." She kept studying me. Was she actually considering it? C'mon, I just wanted a normal life! Don't tell me she had worked it out. "Remember when we talked about you running away from home? You called yourself a wolf." Ohhhh sh*t. Damn her and her memory. I closed my gaping mouth with a snap, and looked away. "Hey," she whispered. I closed my eyes. "I know this is crazy but... are you?" I glanced back, worried to high hell. "Am I what?" She sighed. "A were-wolf, are you a were-wolf." She looked tired, and I wondered what she was thinking. My voice was hoarse. "Maybe." She looked as if she had been just shocked with electricity. "What?" Oh sh*t. What was I doing? "Maybe." I repeated. She still looked shocked. "Maybe I'm a werewolf. Maybe I was that wolf you saw in the bush yesterday. What would you do if I was?" "I don't know. Are you pulling my leg?" She watched me warily, and I leaned in close. "No." I pressed my lips to hers, and felt her tremble. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Diana Wednesday thinks that she's just going to have a normal, care-free gap year, where she'll find a boyfriend, get a job and live a life, maybe with her BFF Pippa.

"I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me."
