" She could surely be no older than twenty, tall and slim in a way that could have been attractive had her bones not sliced up so harshly beneath her ashen-pale skin. Her long silver hair was crowned with a garland of roses and, I saw to my surprise as I drew closer, soaking wet, plastered to her scalp and shoulders. My bewilderment only grew as I saw her heavy white gown, also soaking wet and looking for all the world like a wedding dress. "

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.

" Y..yo..you are monster. H..how c..ca..can you kill him s..so..so brutally."she said with trembling lips and voice just above whisper His eyes blazed with an unholy light as he gazed at rose. "You think that was brutal?" he whispered, his voice dripping with malice. "You think snapping his neck like a twig was horrific? Wait... "wait until you see what I do to the next person who dares to touch you." Rose felt a wave of terror wash over her as his words conjured up images of unspeakable horrors. "I'll flay them alive," he hissed, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "I'll strip their skin from their bones, inch by inch, and make them scream for mercy. And when they're begging for death, I'll deny it to them. I'll keep them alive, trapped in a living hell of agony and terror." Rose felt like she was going to vomit, her mind reeling with the sheer horror of his words. "And you know why?" He spat, his face twisted in a snarl. "N..no, w..wh..why" rose asked with visible fear "Because you're mine. Because I own you, body and soul. And no one takes what's mine." " Only.mine .All. for .me" Rose was paralyzed with fear, her heart racing with terror. __________________________________________________ She is soft , he is cold She is kind , he is arrogant She is innocent , he is clever She is submissive , he is dominated she is an open book , and he is full of mystery He is a predetor and she is his prey does opposite attract everytime? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ∆ tropes ∆ Hidden truths Obsession Darkness Blackworld Grumpy ×sunshine

A young woman in her mid-twenties stands on the bow of her ship, the wind caressing her face, sending her dark hair into inky ripples tethered to her scalp. She turned her head up to the moon- the full moon- and frowned. They would be coming for her soon. * * * Slow updates * * * **I own everything in this story, all the character, most of the names and personalities, and places, aside from a few references to other fictional worlds, thank you**
