Seeker

Kassidy Dahlia doesn't know who she is.
She never has.
She's always been the outcast, the freak.
She's always had that secret.
Kassidy can see how people will die, simply by looking them in the eye.
Every detail, every moment, she witnesses it.
She feels it.
Death.
It's a lonely life.
Depressing, dark, scary.
And it's confusing.
So many questions, unable to be answered.
Why can she see these things?
How did this happen to her?
What is she?
So many questions.
Kassidy never thought they would be answered.
Until a mysterious boy comes along.
Not just any boy, though.
A boy, similar to her.
A boy with a secret.
An important, helpful secret.
A boy with the answers she's been searching for all her life.
But along with these answers, this boy brings a whole new world to Kassidy.
This boy changes everything Kassidy has ever known, ever thought.
This boy brings danger.

"I know your secret," the voice whispered in my ear, snide and teasing.
"I know what you are."
That voice... It sent shivers through my body. I had heard it before, I know I had. But I couldn't place it to a face, to a name.
"Seeker," he whispered, before disappearing into the darkness of the forest.
