I felt the soft wind blow through my long blonde hair as I watched Emily sitting across from me on the boat looking out at the soft waves. We were in the ocean, somewhere near the coast of Peru, just sitting and watching the beautiful sun. I closed my eyes and started to lay back; enjoying the suns heat. I yawned and started to sleep when I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I screamed and that instant the boat started to fill up with water. I couldn't stand up to look at Emily! "What's going on ", I scream at her! She tells me to calm but I can't. The water is rising quickly and is now at my chest. I grab a fistful of hair and scream! "What do I do?" "Just calm down!" "Emily I can't!!" "Trust me, Mariel, I know exactly what you're going through just calm down!" By now the water is by my chin and I am crying. I could not stop... I know I'm not crying because of the water ...it's something else... something more serious... But I don't know what ... I'm not able to control my emotions. "Mariel jump," I heard Emily yell. I try to move my feet, but I can't... I can't move... I'm stuck... my body is frozen! I cannot physically move. The realization startles me and my tears stop but, just then Emily grabs me and hurls me over her shoulder and then I just remember waking up on the beach and seeing Emily crying. That was something a person never expects; their parent to do. ..cry. Later I walked into the shower and noticed a mark on my chest... It was a black heart... I asked Emily about it but she does not know what it is. The next day we left our house in Peru and never went back. 8 years later ...

Prologue I used to have a nightmare when I was younger. It was always the same order and the same impact. It started with the warmth of sand consuming my feet. I looked up to see a warzone. There were flashes of fire, water, and lightning. It was like a war of the gods. Suddenly I felt the heat on my back. I turned to see neon red and yellow flames consume me. I ran to hide in the bushes that were next to me, feeling out of breath I tried to calm myself down. Strands of dark red hair covered my face. I proceeded to swipe my hair and look at my surroundings. I heard sobbing coming from near me. I trudged through the bushes and toward the sobbing when I got to under a willow tree. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked. I saw a girl with long dark red hair being the cause of the sobbing. She had a huge gash on her forehead with blood trailing down her face. She also had burns on her arms and shirt. The boy was in much worse condition. He was covered in burns, she was covering his face with only his hair showing. They both had the same colored hair. Suddenly my necklace started to glow with an amber color. The girl in front of me had a similar amber glow. Two amber crowns sat on top of the pillow. One female and one male crown sat on top of the pillow. Once I walked closer the glow came back. Once I grabbed the tiara everything became white. I was once again in another room, I attempted to move but I mysteriously couldn't. A neon purple bolt of lightning hit my chest. We both locked eyes with each other. Was that me? Before I could find out, the ground started to be drained into a whole. I was sucked into the drain and everything soon became black and I was free-falling. My back soon hit the ground of the room. I rose to look at the surroundings of the new room I was in. I fell to my knees from the pain. Then a person walked forward and grabbed my face.
