Chapter 1

The day I moved to a new home, i felt horrible. I felt homesick. Moving away from Colorado to Chicago was the worst for me. Colorado was a country, full of nature, and lots of space. Chicago is just noisy and crowded and full of traffic. I left half of my pets in Colorado because of how Chicago is. Most of them are horses or deer. I love nature and animals. Cities are not my type. My parents had to move here because of my dads job. He is a ghost detective and here in Chicago are lots of haunted places to explore. Our apartment looked like the size of half a summer camp area. It was very fancy. My mom follows the ecosystem we are living in. Right now we are in a city so she decorated the house fancy. When we were in Colorado, she decorates nature all over. The way I was born. But now it looks like I'm in beauty and the beasts castle. Just half the size of a summer camp. So the worst part is that I'm going to school. I have been homeschooled almost my whole life! This school is called Emory academy. It's the highest top school in the United States! I can't believe they have a academy in a large, noisy city. My mom calls me Alex all the time. If she loved that name, why did she name me jade? And why Moondust for a last name? It's a huge mystery to me. I always thought if it was my aqua blue eye or my black and purple hair. Maybe my freckles across my nose. I think she calls me Alex just cause of my blind eye with a scar slashing through. I got that when I tried to pick up a mountain lion cub, until when it's mother attacked me. I didn't die because it was a young mother. Maybe like a teen mom in person. My mother never lets me in the woods since that accident. On the other hand, me and my dad always go to haunted areas. I have seen so many cool and creepy things. Like when we went to this old library, books just keep falling of the shelf. Even when they were placed perfectly. I almost spent three hours putting books back. But it ended when the building almost collapsed on me and almost killed me. I am a lucky 14 year old girl. Facing dangers that barley any teenager could survive. No I did not train a bunch of raptors. Or survive the titanic.
