Her eyes are the same color as the hair tie and she has naturally long eyelashes, her skin is a little pale but that is because she rarely leaves her house, she loves video games and that’s pretty much the reasons she doesn’t leave her home, because she wants to play video games. Even though she doesn’t get out much she is quite good at sports unless she has to run a long distance, then she pass out after ten seconds of running.

2: Prologue
Prologue

    Tara had a controller in hand; she turned on her X-box and started the game that was already in it, it was one of her favorite games, Borderlands. “Time to die losers!” She exclaimed, as the game started and her level 50 siren showed up on the screen, she used her skill to phase walk to get to her destination quicker, when she arrived at her destination and her phase walk wore off enemies started to attack. As she was fighting she heard a knock on her door, “Hold on!” She called, she wanted to finish this fight before she got up, but whoever it was knocked again, “HOLD YOUR HORSES I’M IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!” She growled irritably, the knocking came once more just as she finished off the last enemy she quickly went to the door and opened it, “I SAID HOLD YOUR HORSES! ...............Who are you?” Who was at the door certainly surprised her, it was a guy around her age, maybe a little older, he had black hair that looked blue and midnight blue eyes, his skin was tanned and he wore a white t-shirt with worn out blue jeans. He seemed to look embarrassed, “I hate to bother you but I’m kind of lost. I kind of need some directions” He muttered, Tara guessed that he was the kind of person who normally didn’t ask people for help judging by his reaction when he asked that. She couldn’t help but laugh a little; the man looked at her confused, “What’s so funny?” He asked, she gave another small chuckle, “You look so embarrassed while saying that.” He looked away, embarrassed, “Oh shut up.” He growled, trying to hide a small blush creeping up on his cheeks, she gave him a sharp look, “Ya know you shouldn’t say that to someone who is about to give you directions. Now where is the place you’re trying to find?” She asked, without looking at her he answered, “Jay Wing High.”


    “Well you came to the right, place, I happen to go to that school. Are you a new student?” He hesitantly nodded, in response she gave him a devious smirk, “Cool, then I can drag you around and get you into trouble!” He looked at her, shooting her another annoyed look, “Can I just get the directions?” She laughed, “Yeah, one minute, let me write them down.” She closed the door and got a piece of paper, quickly writing down where to go. ‘Take a left on the first turn and keep going till you see a Wendy’s. Turn right, right before that and keep going down. Then you will arrive in the school zone and keep going till you see the gate.’ She wrote, she opened the door back up and handed it to him, “Here you go.” She said, he gave a nod of thanks and got in his car and drove off, with that she closed the door and went back to her video game. “DIE, DIE, DIE!” She shouted as more enemies appeared.


    Before Tara realized it, it was the next day, she wouldn’t have noticed if the sun didn’t peak through the blinds, she squinted her eyes at the bright light, “Wait, WHAT TIME IS IT?!” She shouted, she looked at the clock above the television, it was 7:18, Tara’s eyes widened, she quickly saved and shut off the game and jumped up. “I’M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!” She ran into her room, throwing on an old red t-shirt, blue Capri’s, old black sneakers, and a blue hoodie. She grabbed her backpack and ran out the door, slowing down after around ten seconds of running, out of breath. “I......need.........to..........work........out........more.” She panted, almost coming to a complete stop, a car zoomed passed her scaring her a little, as a reaction she yelled out, “YOU ALMOST HIT ME YOU JERK! LEARN TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD!” The car came to a stop, “Oh, it’s you.” She said when the person in the car came out; it was the same guy from yesterday. “Geez, you’re loud,” He muttered, Tara shot him an irritated look; “Well you almost hit me!” She growled, “Then why don’t you learn to stay on the sidewalk?” He said in reply with a smirk, “I was on the sidewalk! You were the one driving-” She looked down, she was on the side of the road, not the sidewalk, how did she not notice that? He had a smug look, “You need a ride?” She crossed her arms and muttered, “Yes.” He opened the back door for her, “Hop in.” She walked up to the car and slumped in the back seat, buckling herself in.


    When she got in the car she realized she had just got in the car with someone who is pretty much a stranger, sure he said he was going to be going to her school but what if he was lying and was a pervert or something? She was about to protest but he started driving; she nervously sat in the seat, hoping that what she thought of wasn’t true. After a few minutes of driving the school came into view, he parked in the parking lot. Tara got out of the car with sigh of relief, “What was that sigh for?” He asked as he got out as well, “Well, I realized I had gotten into a car with pretty much a complete stranger. And so I thought what if you were a pervert or something or tried to rape me.” He let out a chuckle, “I wouldn’t do that.” He said, “Yet.” He added after a few seconds, Tara instantly whipped her hand forward, landing a slap on his cheek with a loud smacking sound. He just shook it off, it hurt but he was good at handling pain, “By the way, I’m Jay.” Tara let out a growl, “You say something perverted and then just shrug it off! Ugh! You’re irritating!” She stormed off, heading straight to her first class, Jay stood there for a minute. 'She’s a lot like her.' He said in his head with smiled before walking off to the front office to get his schedule.


    Tara was in class, there was still a few more minutes before class would start, “That jerk better not be in my class.” She muttered, she heard movement beside her, she looked up to see a pair of green eyes staring at her, “What is it, Aaron?” She asked, Aaron was her BBFF, best blonde friend forever. “What’s wrong, you seem agitated?” He asked her, she sighed, “Oh it’s just some annoying guy, I ended up slapping him.” Aaron giggled, “Ooh, is he sexy~” Yes, Aaron was gay, it didn’t bother Tara though, she didn’t judge people like that, “Geez, is that what always goes through your head when I mention a guy?” She rolled her eyes, his only response was, “Teehee.” Tara kicked Aaron’s chair, causing him to fall back on the ground, “Owww, don’t be jealous cause I get more guys than you.” Tara clenched her fists, Aaron annoyed her a lot but they were still very close.


    After a few minutes later and the teacher came in the room, “Hello class, I have an announcement. We have a new student starting today so I hope you will treat him nicely.” Tara’s eyes widened, “Oh god no, please don’t be him.”  The door opened and there stood Jay with a bored expression, Tara slammed her head against her desk, Aaron smirked, “Oh, that’s the guy isn’t it? He is quite sexy~” The teacher clapped his hands, “His name is Jay. Jay, why don’t you take the seat next to Aaron?” He said motioning to the desk to the right of Aaron, Jay walked over there and sat down; he noticed Tara and gave a small wave in response she glared at him. He gave a slight chuckle and turned his attention to the teacher. Tara took notes in a journal as they were written on the board, Jay was listening but not taking notes, and Aaron was goofing off, not paying attention at all. Time seemed to fly after that, it was already lunch.

 

3: Chapter 1
Chapter 1

    Aaron and Tara were in the lunch room, sitting together and as always, Aaron was being a jerk to her, “So, do you like the new guy?~”  Aaron asked, Tara choked on her drink,  “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!”  She growled irritably, hitting him upside the head.  “Owww, don’t be mean, I was just asking.  So since you don't like him does that mean I can go after him?"  Tara rolled her eyes,  "Yeah whatever, I really don't care."  Aarons eyes lit up,  "Hooray~"  Aaron spotted Jay trying to figure out a place to sit and stood up, waving around wildly,  "Yoohoo!  Jay!  You can sit over here!"  He shouted loud enough so he could be heard.  Tara had to hold back from strangling Aaron for bring Jay over, this guy just irritated her for some reason, it wasn't just cause of what he said to her when they got to the school, something about him just irked her.


    Jay made his way over to the table that the two were sitting at,  "Thanks for inviting me over."  Jay said with a half smile, Tara just rolled her eyes in return while Aaron claimed it was no problem.  As they talked and ate Aaron had been shamelessly flirting with Jay who was now wondering if he should have found somewhere else to sit.  Jay looked at Tara with eyes that were pleading for her to help him make Aaron stop but she had pretend to not notice.  Eventually he couldn't take it anymore and said,  "Hey Aaron,  this flirting is kind of making me uncomfortable.  Could you please stop?"  Aaron seemed to be saddened by Jay not being to happy with his advances but a smile went back to his face quickly,  "Oh okay, sorry about that then."  Jay let out a sigh of relief that he stopped,  "It's okay."  He replied, his gaze went over to Tara who had an amused face, obviously she enjoyed watching him become uncomfortable.


    Jay sighed and let his gaze fall over to the windows, the hair on his neck rose and his eyes widened has he noticed two familiar people outside and if they were here, that meant everyone at this school would be in grave danger.  He abruptly stood, trying to seem as calm as possible but failed,  "I have to....uh...do something."  He ran towards the exit, pushing past anyone who was in his way, who knew how long until somebody was hurt from them being here.  Tara and Aaron looked at each other in confusion about his abrupt leaving,  "I wonder what that was about."  Aaron said as he looked towards where the door Jay ran out of, that's when a smirk crossed Aaron's face,  "Let's follow him.  Maybe it'll be something really cool!"  Tara shook her head with a little laugh,  "Sure, what choice do I have anyway's?  You would drag me along no matter what."  Aaron jumped up and started heading out where Jay left with Tara following.


    "Come on, hook up the wires already so we can get out of here, we don't want to be seen otherwise this will become even more difficult."  The male of the two that were there had said,  "I am!  Geez, hold your horses.  I want this place to blow up as much as you do, that red hair man-stealer needs to die!"  The male glared at the girl,  "Get your mind out of the gutters, this is not for that girl, it is to kill Jay."  The young girl puffed out her cheeks in an immature way,  "You know I do not like this whole thing about hurting my Jay-Jay.  I just want that Kira to pay!"  The male hit her on the head,  "Don't be idiotic, Kira died many years ago by our hands, it is just a coincidence that there is someone else who looks like her."  That's when the male felt something hit the back of his head, he spun around to face a furious Jay who had threw a rock at him.


    "Let me guess, another plan for you to destroy me.  Will you just give up already?"  Jay sneered at the two, Tara and Aaron were watching from a little while away, they were just in range of hearing, their heads tilted in confusion as they heard something about destroying Jay.  The young male was racking through his brain to think of a plan, if Jay was outside then he could easily protect himself without his power being noticed, he had to think of a way to switch things into his favor, that's when idea struck him.  "Ciara,"  He spoke to the young girl,  "Set the timer on the bomb for five minutes."  Ciara did as her older brother said,  "But Adam, why set it for such a high time?"  She questioned, an evil smirk crossed Adam's face,  "Jay.  You have five minutes, the bomb cannot be stopped unless destroyed but if destroyed it will release a poisonous gas that will kill whoever breathes it in, you could run away and secure your own safety, or you can try and be the hero and get all those innocent kids out of the school which will still end with your death because there will not be enough time left for you to get away safely if you try to get them all out."


    Jay's eyes started to burn a red color,  "Do you think I care about those puny mortals?  I'd rather just save my own skin."  Adam clenched his teeth, of course Jay would rather save himself, well, his old self, the only people he cared for were.....His eyes drifted to where Tara and Aaron were watching, Adam's eyes glowed red as he made eye contact with Tara.  'Ciara was right, this girl is somehow Kira.  But it's as if she is still a different person....'  Adam looked at Ciara,  "Make sure he doesn't get to my body.  I have a plan."  And with saying that he reached into Tara's mind and Adam's body fell to the ground.


    Aaron looked at Tara,  "What do you think is going on?"  He whispered but Tara did not answer, she just stared at nothing.  Adam was inside her mind, prying through her past trying to get to the memories of Kira, eventually he came to a blockade in her thoughts.  "You will open up your deepest of thoughts to me.  I command you."  He commanded in her head, the blockade lifted and that is where the memories of Kira showed.


    "Do you think I'd just wait around here all day?  I prefer not to be around when there is about to be an explosion, farewell!"  Jay spoke as he started walking off, that is when Adam rose,  "Jay, I wouldn't do that if I were you."  Jay ignored him and kept going off, that is when a red blur shot in front of him and punched him right in the stomach.  It was Tara, though something was different, her normal blue eyes were now pure white with no pupil.  "How dare you let me die."  She spoke, Jay had to process what was being said when finally it hit him.  The reason why Tara seemed so much like Kira was because she was Kira.  That meant she hadn't died.  "Kira....Is that really you?"  He asked,  "What do you think you idiot?  Of course it is me.  I-"  Kira's words were cut off as Jay slammed his lips against hers, pulling her into a kiss, the red-head quickly pulled away and swung her arm forward, landing a slap right across his face.  "What do you think you are doing?  You let me die and then decide to kiss me when you see me again.  What is your deal?"  She growled, her eyes narrowed.


    "I-I didn't mean for you to die Kira.  I wasn't able to stop it.  I still haven't forgiven myself for it..."  He said sadly, he looked like he was on the verge of tears.  "It is your fault I died.  And I'm glad you don't forgive yourself because I don't either.  Now I am going to stop more innocent people from having the same fate as me."  Kira clapped her hands together and as she pulled them apart a sword materialized in her hands, she darted toward the bomb and slashed at it.  As the poison gas sprayed out Kira spun her sword, a gust of wind went towards the gas, letting it spray out far into the distance where it would not be a problem.  She turned to face Adam and Ciara,  "I do not kill.  Leave before I change my mind."  Adam clenched his fists but he knew when he was defeated, he waved his arm and him and Ciara vanished in a cloud of smoke.  Aaron's mouth gaped open, he was confused about what had just happened.  Jay dropped to his knees, his eyes turning back to their deep blue,  'She doesn't forgive me.....'  He said sadly in his mind as his head hung in sorrow.  Tara's eyes went to their normal color and she fell to the ground, passed out.  Aaron ran over to his friend, picking her up carefully, he let out a sigh of relief as he saw she was just unconscious.  He looked over at Jay,  "What is going on?  What happened to Tara, who were those guys, who are you?"  Without answering Jay stood up, a bright light passed and Jay disappeared, leaving Tara and Aaron.


    Aaron took out his cell phone and dialed 9-1-1, he was worried about Tara and some people had just set a bomb at the school, he had to tell the authorities.  Within minutes the police arrived, they took care of everyone at the school, getting them home safely and took Tara to the hospital.  She was in a deep sleep, dreaming, dreaming about her past self, Kira.  And her death
