When she was born her mother knew she wasn't normal. Her mother's family itself wasn't normal. She feared that her beloved daughter carried the gene that haunted her forever. At the age of nine something happened. The girls father was thankfully away on business and the girls mothers heart ached as she heard the all to familiar screams. She ran to the room with a thermometer. And as she thought the girls temp was at 110.5. She was aware that a normal person would be dead by now but as she knew....her daughter was far from normal. Niko is a 16 year old girl. She goes to school and lives a happy normal life. Well as normal as a teenagers life can get. She had tons of friends and was seen as kind of a badass but that confidence fell quickly when Ashton Shadow moved to town. She felt something when she looked at him as did he with her. In their town the woods were off limits. For the past eight years this town has been nothing but murders of young teens. Found mostly in the woods. What was killing these innocent people? No one knew. Niko's mom warned her about not getting to close to Ashton as his family was an enemy to theirs. She couldn't help but feel the need to talk to him. To protect him. To touch him. Most importantly to love him. Niko follows Ashton into the woods and what they both discover they will never forget.
