CHAPTER 1 — WHO AM I?
My name is Casandra Jovans, am 15yrs .Born in a foggy town where there only either fog or winter we would never get to see the sun at all if it were to appear the fog would block its rays but on the 31 Oct. 2005 the same day for a Halloween that when I was born, the sun would come out only on Halloween as well as the full moon. According to what I was told my mum didn’t survive when she was giving birth to me, but she did leave a necklace behind it would never be opened but I didn’t care as long as I felt her around me with that necklace and dreamt of her though I had never seen her I always believed she was alive somewhere and I would see her
Someday. The necklace had a sign of a circle in it and tiny words that looked
like” the sun is brighter than the moon “ When I was 10 I came back from school, and I found the house trashed, my aunties were injured but not as injured as my dad. In my dad's last words he handed me a box, the box had was the same as the necklace “Here, Casandra, promise me you’ll find your mum “he said “she’s alive “I asked but he just said the same sentence over and over until he took his last breath. I was confused coz then, I was a total orphan, I only had my aunties with me. I couldn’t let my father go in all that
shock “aunt veronica bring him back his coming back right his coming back” I cried out loud, it is bad that he died but I was worse that we didn’t get to bury him as I was holding him his body faded away in form of fire crystals and I never got to see him again my aunties didn’t get to calm me down for 3 weeks I always blamed them for not saving my dad but it all cool down until now 5 years have passed and am doing better. Today am going to a new high school, my aunties
Moving to a new place every after a while, this time was in southern parts of the US.

“Ooh! Dear Casandra, it’s time for you to go to school “Aunt Suzie yelled “it's morning Suzie
keep it down you’ll scare blonde gold’s heart out “Aunt Veronica insisted .so I got down to have breakfast, my aunties always called me blonde gold coz my hair was naturally bright blonde and golden brown at the edge so was my eye color
“Your late Casandra “Aunt Suzie claimed “sorry aunties I keep getting these nightmares, I see there is this sculpture that looks like mother Mary but had a triangle with a circle in it on the
Sword it was holding and a voice keeps calling Casandra …..Casandra ……Casandra, I mean it’s so creepy “I told
“It’s just a nightmare, continue with your breakfast you don’t want to be late on y our first day do you “Aunt Suzie said. So I went into my room and put on and packed my things for school
I got to school and I was assigned a desk next to this guy he had the same sign as my necklace and nightmare as a tattoo on his hand like the one on the box my dad handed me
After the first session he ran out of class and I lost his trace, I didn’t take it to the head as for already there was some people ready to be friends with me, then a girl came sat next to me
And said “hi my name is Stacy, I really like your eye and hair color, is it natural “she said
Whispering. Stacy hade black hair and brown eyes, she was more of soft and caring “yeah its natural inherited from my mum and dad “I answered
“Is he always so rude?” I asked “who Alek he doesn’t like making friends, really
Mysterious “a girl said standing behind Stacy “this is Alek is sister Clary “Stacy said “hi nice to meet you my name is……” I said as Clary interrupted me “Casandra, I know “Clary said
“Wow she’s like a mind reader isn’t she “Stacy said “each...” I answered.
Clary had brown hair with blue eyes she had the same mark as her brother though hers was on the neck and she was quit bossy and rude. “Don’t worry you’ve got us now Alek is behavior shouldn’t get to you head, come on you must be hungry lets go for break “Stacy said.
We got our break and sat down on a table and later went to classes. In the evening after classes Stacy suggested we crash it at Clary’s place. “Come on clary let’s celebrate it as her first day at Galaxy High” Stacy pleaded “ok ok sleepover at my place “Clary said “and of course you’re coming “Stacy asked me “ sure let me talk to my aunts about it “ I said ,so I called my aunties in specific aunt Veronica .”Hello, Aunt Veronica, I’m having a sleep over at my friend
Clary’s place “I said “it’s ok as long as you come early tomorrow , I’ll pack you some clothes and bring them there ok as long as no boys” she said “no aunty no boys of course , ok I’ll be waiting
“I said “ok bye” she said “bye “I said back
So she brought me some clothes and we went to shop for the sleep over .we shopped snacks like skittles, popcorn, Mentos, m& m s and all types of snacks
We went to Clary’s place for the sleep over. We entered the house and found Alek sitting on the couch.” we are going to use the living room Alek” Clary said “you should give me some respect, what are you even gonna do about It “Alek teased. Suddenly Clay’s eyes turned from blue to red and the circle edge and triangle edge turned from black to red
“You don’t want to know what I will do “Clary said with a lot of anger “chillax I was just teasing you, calm down “Alek said as Alek said calm down his eyes turned blue from brown as he left the room . We sat down to watch a romantic movie, so as we were watching the movie I went to refill the jug with beer “hey, clary where is the kitchen “I asked “ooh just go front the
Corridor and turn right “clary answered “oak” I answered “but you’ll miss the good parts “Stacy shouted
I found Alek in the kitchen “ooh sorry ,I just came to get some to get some beer any way if I may ask how your eyes change color” I asked “ooh it’s nothing you must be drunk from the beer “Alek insisted “ooh “I answered “sorry I didn’t introduce myself before I had to catch up
With something, my name I Alexander Bladell, you can call me Alek “he said “well I’m
Casandra Jovans“ I answered back “ I’ll be heading to my room then , good night “ he said “ good night “ I answered back
So I filled up the jug but I found when the movie had ended so it was time for truth or dare “what took you so long, did you get lost “Stacy asked “a bit but I found my way here” I
Answered “ok but u missed the ending it was so amazing “Stacy said “its okay I’ll watch it at home again” I answered “ok but now it’s time for truth or dare “Clary said. I was asked first
“Casandra truth or dare “clary asked “dare “I answered “I dare you to cut your hair” clary dared If you weren’t up for the dare you would drink up two cups of beer, I couldn’t possibly
Cut my hair so I drunk up. We continued playing truth or dare until we fell asleep. As Stacy was
Asleep I overheard Alek and Clary “Clary I think she is one of us too “Alek said “ahh! What do you mean “Clary answered “Our powers can’t be seen by the ordinary she saw them” Alek said “and did you tell her what she was seeing was true” clary said “nah, but Clary, this girl may be more powerful than we imagine she has the necklace she must know where it is “Alek said “ come on Alek that thing has been traced for 1000 years Maurine Clark hid it from the sages it
can’t be existing, but I’ll ask her her parents by name , there is something odd with her aunties they look familiar I think I’ve seen them in one of the meetings“Clary said “ok “Alek answered
I waited for them to go to bed and I got up and went to the restroom I looked at my mother’s necklace and wished she was with me and answered all my questions. Though I had
Many questions but if I saw my mom I would want to ask her who really am I.
The next morning was a Friday and my birthday was on the next Friday I was going to celebrate my sweet 16. “So when is your sweet 16 “Stacy asked “ooh that’s next Friday “I answered. “Wait you were born on Halloween “Stacy asked “pretty odd” Clary said with
Wonder “we’ll have your birthday together with the Halloween party “Stacy suggested “sounds fun, can’t wait” I answered
So we got into class and took our seats “good morning class, um we have a new student, please introduce yourself “the teacher said “hi my name is Jordan “he said “ok Jordan you can seat next to Casandra” the teacher said .after class as I was packing up my books he
Came “hi, am Jordan Clark “he introduced himself but he too had that sign as my necklace so I hid my neck lace and answered “am Casandra Jovans, I really love your tattoo what’s the
meaning behind it “ “ why ask , it’s nothing much just interested in the symbol so I tattooed it on my hand “ he said stammering “sorry I didn’t mean to am just interested in tattoos I might get
one my birthday “ I answered “when is your birthday maybe I could get you a gift “ he asked “next Friday “I answered “ on Halloween that’s cool” he answered
“Hey, Casandra come on lets go “Stacy interrupted “well I see you around “I said “sure” he answered
Though I couldn’t help the fact that I felt crazy seeing everyone with those marks and the rest couldn’t, so I waited so that I could get home and interrogate my aunties
“Heyyyyyyyyy, casandraaaaa, watcha thinking about ooh I bet your thinking of Jordan, his good enough for you I mean his blonde hair cut and light blue eyes and the way he looks at you is sooo clear that he likes you “ Stacy added “no!!!! We are just friends and there is something odd about him, I need to vista the bathroom “I said as I ran to the restroom
“The only odd thing is the way he looks at you” Stacy shouted as I left. When I got to the rest room I was so confused and angry of being confused so I washed my face and hit the sink, the odd thing was that the sink broke but I didn’t get hurt, I was too angry to care coz I felt like all my life was a lie, so after classes when I got home my aunties we on the iPad
shopping, it was odd they rarely shopped online to take a closer look they were shopping dresses. “Oh!! Honey your back come and pick a dress for your birthday special” they said “ok whatever, but I need to talk to you about something “I said “well go on” aunt Suzie answered “see do you remember the sign on the box dad gave me and the one on the necklace and the one in the
nightmare “yeah, the symbol with the triangle and circle “aunt veronica answered. “Well I saw some kids with that same sign at school” I said as I said so aunt veronica lost breath “do the signs glow when they are angry “aunt Suzie asked “yeah, why and for some reason Stacy can’t see them glow, aunties am I crazy ohh wait am a psycho or is there something your hiding from me
“I cried
“You’re not psycho “aunt veronica said as she came to remove my necklace , to come to shock the necklace shocked her as she came to remove it but she endured and removed it the mark appeared on my hand but instead mine had a triangular sun inside not a plain circle
“You’re not psycho you one of us “Aunt Suzie said calmly “but but why is mine different from the others theirs has a circle why why is mine different am I defected or
something evil” I said “honey there’s a lot to explain but you need to go which friends did you see with that mark “ auntie Suzie said as she looked through the window they were bunch of
women with the same mark on their hand but with the an arrow tattoo an a line going through the tattoo “they have sensed her power “aunt veronica said in fear “say your fiend hurry “aunt Suzie said “clary , Jordan and Alek” I answered ,auntie Suzie opened something like a portal and told me to go through it “ go , and anything you do don’t remove the necklace “ aunt veronica said and I landed an Alek is place “ what are you doing here , “clary and Alek asked “ I I I I just ….”I answered as Alek interrupted me “you have the mark but why was it hiding the whole time , but yours is different “Alek wondered “Ok I’ve had enough for one night all I know if I find my aunties and get my dad’s box and everything will be fine “I urged “ well , huh!! Did some people with arrow marks get into your house “Clary asked “yeah, some ladies in piped uniform “I
answered “well you can’t go back they are probably waiting for you to go back if your to go back you’ll have to need some help “ as clary said this she headed us to a place
She headed us to her basement “so what are we doing in your basement” I asked “ you’re really out of the mood “Clary said .we found Jordan there the basement was quite odd it looke d like a basement before but it turned into a something sort of a research center . “And what is Jordan doing here” I asked “well I guess the tattoo is pretty interesting “Jordan answered “she’s got it, where is mum” Clary asked Jordan “wait you guys are siblings “ I asked in gasp “ pretty much “
he answered “mum is not around “ Jordan answered Clary “ okay like I don’t get it I need to go back my dad’s box I can find a clue on how to get to my auntie and finally find my mum “ I suggested “what does this box even look like “ clary asked “it has the sign like on your hand but I’ve never opened it “ I answered “Clary you’ll have to consider it may get us somewhere “ Jordan begged. “ fine we will go but Casandra can I have a moment “ clay agreed
She took me to a bedroom “ so this is your room from now on but first your
clothes are too bright and to long it will be difficult to reflex” she added so she helped me design my hair and gave me new clothes.”Ok you’re ready now but what we apon do you feel
comfortable with “clary asked, there were arrows, swords and guns “I’ll go with the arrows “I decided “okay, but these arrow aren’t regular arrows they have poison as long as it comes close to a being be it magical or non-magical it doesn’t survive, its poison from magna “clary added “what’s a magna “ I asked “well tell you later, we should go before mum comes back to the association “ clary said .so we went and arrived at my place but it was all trashed and my
aunties weren’t there “we have to be fast the longer we stay the savants will find us “ Jordan said “ I’ll keep a look out with Alek and you get the box with Jordan “ Clary instructed . I arrived in my room and I got the box the worst part is that I couldn’t trace my clothes.” OH this is a mess
“I said “so why did you let her play you dress up” Jordan asked “what do I look that bad” I asked “not that bad, sassy, hot and cute she really signed you up for the weapon “ he answered . He
was kind of a flatterer but I never took his words, trust me you can never trust a guy were all girls die for him .as we were still chatting there was an explosion outside the savants had
detected our presence “have you got the box “Jordan asked “yeah “I answered “let’s go” he said
.it was a kind of battle inside arrows flying and clary had her special ,she had kind of a whip but this was no normal whip it was a vipers whip the one she calls it magna it leaves no being behind
.it was quite a battle but Jordan was by my back all the time with me every moment
So we came back association and I went to my room I put the box on the table and went for a shower so I came back and took a looked critically at the box it had a space or
something like a lock but it looked like the symbol on my necklace so I got the necklace and fixed it in the space and a light came from it and I was no longer in my room I was room I was somewhere else.
