Great Cod Bay. A name you've probably never heard of. Just another rinky-dink island in the middle of the ocean. Which ocean? What would it matter? We're just another island in the big world.

Our stories are untold. Our legends and myths are unknown. But this story will not be forgotten.

The story of my best friend, Damian, and his brother, Nathan.

My name is Rosalind Chichi. The combination of the two names my parents wanted. My mother's "Rosa" and my father's "Linda." They said it was unique. But I hated it. It sounded too different from other kids' names. Damian always made me feel better about it. He said it was me. "Beautiful," he would always say.

I never really think I'm pretty. I look like any other girl.

The greatest thing about Great Cod Bay was that there isn't a "normal ethnicity."

Every race you could think of would be here. It was like each race was an ingredient of a salad. Great Cod Bay was the bowl. I love it, and yet I hate it, because everyone stands out. Including me. But still, I look pretty average. Freckles sprinkled all across my face, arms, and legs, red hair I always tie in braids, and dark green eyes. I'm a little chubby and I've been bullied about my weight since I was little.

I'm currently 17 as I write this. The events of this story you are going to read soon, took place 3 years ago.

Damien Spirit was probably the kindest boy you could ever meet. His brother was always protective. But Nathan also had his dark side.

He did have a body count. Not a large one. But still frightening. You may wonder why. Well, both your parents dying at a young age, being abused by your caretakers, and being separated from your brother for months can do that to a damaged mind.

In Great Cod Bay there is not a law against "harboring a fugitive." So Damien was allowed to let Nathan stay with him. They would stay in my parent's house. The defense to not have this law was, "You would want to keep your family safe, away from the law, wouldn't you?"

Nathan hadn't been caught from his crimes, and for the first time in years, it seemed everything would be ok for twins.

How ignorant we were....
