WHAT IF YOUR WHOLE LIFE WAS A LIE?
One Planet.
Two Worlds.
Population: Human ... 7 billion.
Others ... unknown.
When 14-year-old Charlie Blake wakes up sweating and gasping for air in the middle of the night, he knows it is happening again. This time he witnesses a brutal murder. He's afraid to tell anyone. No one would believe him ... because it was a dream. Just like the one he had four years ago - the day before his dad died.
Charlie doesn't know why this is happening. He would give anything to have an ordinary life. The problem: he doesn't belong in the world he knows as home.
He belongs with the others.
EXCERPT
They had travelled two-thirds of the way across the lake, a good twenty metres, when a splashing sound reached their ears, and they stopped. They looked to the right but saw nothing. Another sound reached them from the left, and they shifted their gazes.
‘Keep moving,’ Derkein instructed. As soon as they took off, Richmond screamed and jumped back, colliding with Charlie.
‘Something touched my leg,’ he cried.
‘That’s not funny,’ Alex said in a strained voice.
‘I’m not joking,’ Richmond said, his expression serious and scared. A flicker of movement at the edge of Charlie’s vision caught his attention, and he looked to his right. He saw the dark silhouette of a figure rising out of the water. Its top half was huge and hunched over with spikes arched around its head.
‘There’s something in the water,’ he whispered.
‘That’s what I said,’ Richmond muttered. ‘No, look.’ From the gasps that followed, Charlie supposed he wasn’t the only one who could see the creature.
‘I want you to move towards me slowly,’ Derkein whispered. The trio began to move.
At that same moment, the creature plunged into the lake, and all they saw were water ripples heading towards them.
‘Run!’ Derkein shouted.
