Raven (30 page)

When these four teens enter Glenwood High senior year, no one but Max could understand the future ahead of them. Drawn together by blood and friendship, they each hide a dark secret that will soon bind them together.

When the face Max hoped to never see again shows up at school – his twin brother, Greg – he knows that coming back was the wrong thing to do.

Max has to protect Jane, Jane wants to be normal, Wes wants Jane to love him, and Emily just wants the voices to stop…

And Greg… he just wants everyone
dead.

Diary of Maximus Gordon

I was too young to die, and I was not ready to leave… above all else, I was not prepared to be murdered. Because of my fight to live, I was cursed to roam somewhere in the in-between, somewhere that’s cold and lonely—a choice I’ve regretfully made.

It wasn’t long after my decision to stay behind that I started to hear the cries of the dying souls. I wanted to help them, but I knew I couldn’t save everyone. No matter how hard I tried, it was never enough. The guilt drove me to insanity, and I was forced from the place I called home in order to escape the grief.

That was—until I saw
her.

She made the world silent again, and the guilt retreated. She was my angel—my everything.

The day I found her, I knew she was beyond the sanctioned point of saving, but she was so small, so innocent, that already I loved her. In that moment I had to change, and in that moment, I broke the rules. I couldn’t let her go, knowing that if I did, my fight to remain here would be over. I couldn’t let her slip away from me. I had to help her to live.

Now, I fear that it was the wrong thing to do. I should have let her go. I should have gone with her. It was a selfish mistake to bring her back. Because of my actions, she suffers as I do.

Diary of Jane Taylor

When I think of death, I don’t see what everyone else does. There’s a soft whisper when you find it, and a voice telling us that everything will be okay.

We never die alone, because they are always there watching over us, protecting us, and guiding us. They are silent, like a simple gust of wind, but it is in that wind that our world can change.

Mine did.

When the accident happened, and my father died, I was there. I saw them. I can’t remember their faces, but I know they weren’t human.

There were two - one was the murderer, and one was my knight. I was spared. Ever since, the nightmares of death haunt me.

Somewhere deep inside, I know that I should have died.
