Author's Note: I started this story yesterday. I have a detailed plan for the entire story, which is a first for me. I have not given up on my other WIP, but I want to work on this one at the same time. Give the story a chance before judging it please. I also like reviews, so if you find my story interesting or entertaining or anything else, please pass along a review.

Prologue
"Who was the first person to develop the color wheel?" asked the decathlon coach.
"Sir Issac Newton," Julia Sellick replied immediately, without looking up from her reading. None of the surrounding decathletes seemed surprised that she answered first.
Julia was disturbed from her reading by the vibrating of her cell phone in her pocket. She opened it. It was the alarm. She had to leave for her college class. She closed her binder and stuck it in the cupboard in the back of the room, grabbed her bag, and left the room.
"Hey, Jane," came a voice behind her.
Julia turned. It was Sam. He was hurrying towards her. "Hasn't that nickname worn off yet?" Julia asked.
"Not at all, Miss Austen," Sam teased. "Here," he said, holding out a book. "You forgot this."
Julia took the book. "Thanks. I probably needed this for class. I'll see you tomorrow, Sam," Julia said with a wave.
The regional decathlon competition was only a few days away, and Julia was starting to feel the pressure. Only if she were under extreme pressure would she consider skipping her college class to study. Unfortunately, they were starting a new group project in the class and she couldn't miss it.
Julia opened her locker, grabbed her heavy winter coat, and slipped it on. She wrapped her scarf loosely around her neck, slipped her gloves on her hands, and lifted her hood up and over her head. She zipped up her coat, grabbed her bag, and closed the door softly.
The high school was practically deserted. The only people left in the building besides the janitors were the regional academic decathlon team. She and eight others were preparing for the competition. Since it was her senior year, Julia wanted to do well at the competition.
The wintry, bitter air bit at her exposed face when she walked out of the high school. She tucked her hands deeply inside her pockets and ducked her head down to keep the cold out. She made it to the sidewalk that lead to the university without slipping. She only took a couple steps onto the sidewalk, she slipped, but was able to keep her footing. The path to the university was slick and Julia nearly fell five times. Most of the path had been cleared by the school, but at the end was a slope that still had nearly two feet of snow. Julia made her way cautiously down the slope. The snow was hard and held her weight, so she didn't fall knee deep into the snow with every step. Unfortunately, the surface of the snow was icy.
Julia made it to the edge of the road without falling, but there was a line of traffic coming that she wanted to beat. Without thinking about the ice, she took a step forward. Her foot slipped and she went flying across the road. It only took Julia a second to scramble to her feet, but there was the unmistakable sounds of a horn and the squealing of tires. Julia spun around.
For a second she was blinded by headlights, and then she was flying through the air. She landed on the snow with a muffled thud. For a moment, she stared at the star-littered sky and experienced a sickening pain in every inch of her body, and then, her vision went white and remembered nothing.
Author's Note: Thank you for reading. I really hoped you liked it. The first chapter should be up soon. Most of it is already written. Also, please review. I love them. They make me happy, and when I'm happy, I update quicker. Again, thank you for reading.
