Prologue: Alexa

The shadows moved swiftly through the night. I huddled against the wall my hands out as if to block the attack. My parents had already fallen; they died to protect me and my brother. I looked towards their still bodies. As Cohen shrank behind me. I turned the shadow it looked as if it was part of the night. As it came closer, I realised that the form was that of a young girl. She looked no younger than me, yet she was killing people without the slightest regret. Her hair was lightly feathered around her face; she looked childish as she came in for the killing stroke. In a last ditch effort to save myself and my younger brother I closed my eyes and though someone please save me I don't want to die. A blaze of brilliant green light shot out from my palms. The girl shot backwards and hit her head against the wall. After a few moments she slumped down to the floor, as if unconscious. Thank you God, I silently prayed. I stumbled forwards suddenly exhausted. Before I could collect myself I tripped over the edge and fell to the sea below. I picked up speed as I fell, within moments the world around me became a black blur. I hit the water with a splash. My head it a rock the pain shook me to the bone. My last thoughts were : soon I will be with my parents again. Soon I will join them in death. It will be a peaceful leaving, found dead floating in the ocean. I then faded into oblivion.

Note: Please review. I'll try to post chapter 1 soon!
