Chapter 1: The Enigmatic Arrival

The sun dipped low in the sky, drawing the final bell of the day at Ridgemont High School to a close. For Alex Miller yet another mundane day ended. The 17-year-old, with his messy brown hair and his perfectly bored expression, was so over being stuck in the predictable loops of teen hood. But he had no way of knowing that everything was about to change, thanks in part to the arrival of a mysterious new guest.

As the students filed out of classes, Alex went with them, angling for his locker. He was a mere face in the ocean of angsty teens, invisible and absorbed into himself, lost in his deep musings about it all. The other day it was all white noise to him, voices and laughter echoing emptily from the corridor.

Then, he saw her. A girl, the like of which he had never seen in Ridgemont. She was a red rose among daisies. Her jet-black hair fell down her back in a waterfall, and her pale skin looked almost clear beneath the filtered sunset light. She glided, her emerald eyes roaming the corridor with a floating elegance.

ALEX'S CURIOSITY WAS piqued. Ridgemont High was an island of the elite, and a mystery as intriguing as you only came thrugh those doors once in a lifetime. Intrigued, he couldn’t help but watch her go, when she made her way to the school office.

The murmurs of his classmates caught on like wildfire. Who was she? Where did she come from? Why was she here? The marauding corridors pulsed with excitement, and Alex felt himself drawn into a sea of gossip he usually so despised.

Finally, the last bell of the day rang and kids streamed out of school excited about starting their weekend. Alex opted to hang back, pretending disinterest in the new girl’s appearance, when he really just wanted to know more.

He observed her leave the office and walk to her car, holding a little leather-bound book. There was a nagging at the back of Alex's mind about that book, something like it held an answer to his own mystery. He hadn’t felt determination like that in ages, but follow her he would.

The late afternoon sun cast a gentle golden light across the school courtyard outside. The new girl strode with determination, her gaze kept lowered to the book in her hands. Alex followed, staying back. He couldn’t put his finger on what drew him to her, but there was something about the way she appeared that he couldn’t ignore.

Where the courtyard ended and the woods began, Alex paused a second. He’d never gone into those woods, and with good reason. They were haunted, the kind of place where things went bump in every sense of the word. But his interest was greater than his apprehension, and he pursued her into the darkened heart of the woods.

The silence grew heavier between them, intensifying the weight of what was still unsaid. The girl picked up her speed and Alex did his best to keep up. Then she looked up and stopped him in his tracks, peering into his eyes until he felt the shiver run down his spine.

Tell me why you’re trailing me? she snapped, her voice as entrancing as it was authoritative.

Caught off guard, Alex stuttered a reply. He hadn’t expected to be so quickly confronted. I...I just wondered, he said at last.

She studied him for a second, like considering his honesty. Then, she said, with a little smile: It’s dangerous to let your curiosity run away with you.

And with that cryptic statement, she walked away, deeper into the woods and disappeared. He’d had no idea that this random meeting with the bizarre girl was about to start off an entire crazy journey of questioning everything, life and all.
