THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING
I start to get real anxious and on edge, "Hey Kells, do u feel that?"
She stops in her tracks and I stop with her, "Feel what?"
I do a quick 360 just like I did that same morning "Like.... Like someone's watching us,"
She looks around with me before shaking her head and glancing over at me "No, I don't feel that way. Nor do I see anyone else around here with us."
She starts walking again down the path before she tries to joke "Maybe you just got use to Daniel's daggers on your back."
I look around one more time before falling in step next to her "Yeah, yeah maybe you're right."
As much as I wanted to believe her though I couldn't help but feel that way for the rest of the time we walked through those woods.

Izzy's life seemed just fine to her, cliché almost if you will. She's got great friends, makes good grades, a good family life, everything, but she finds herself having these strange feelings all the sudden; this gut wrenching certainty that she's being watched and possibly even followed. To make matters worst it seems to be linked to the woods near her home. She can't explain this feeling and fears she's going crazy. Until one walk changes everything.
She finds herself in a whole new world full of.... Fairytales?
There's fairies, werewolves, vampires, witches, warlocks, and most of all demon hunters.
Why is she in this world if she's not one of them? At least that's what they keep telling her but no secret stays in the dark for long. After all, who knows what awaits you in the shadows.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
*****

Then she finds herself alone at a party with Ren, her best friend's crush. She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
