    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a novella. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.

    One year ago the Event swept through the world and wiped out the entire adult population. Now all the children are alone and fending for themselves.

    Go back to when it all started, the first time Everly Hilton realized her entire world had changed on the night of the Event. How did the children react? How did she cope with seeing all those dead people? How did she protect her sister?

    In this exciting prequel to the Never Series, find out the background to Everly’s struggle for sanity in this insane world.

    Author

    Jamie Campbell

    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her 'What I did on the weekend' stories contained bunyips and princesses.Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.Yet nothing compared to writing. Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      Chapter One

      One Day after the Event

      The street was too quiet.

      Where was the traffic? The buzz of pedestrians as they listened to music filtering through their headphones? The beep beep of annoyed contractors as they tried to get through peak hour madness?

      Way too quiet.

      I stepped out of my apartment building, wishing and hoping and praying that the night before was just a bad dream. I wasn’t brave enough to return to our kitchen to check on my parents. I had left them there late last night.

      After they died.

      I’m hungry, Evie, Faith whined at my side. She tugged on my arm, just to make sure I couldn’t ignore her pleas any longer. I want to go back inside.

      We’ll get some food in a minute, I hissed back.

      In a minute.

      When I awoke from this nightmare.

      I looked left and then right. Other kids were walking the streets like zombies, confusion and grief covering their faces like veils. I knew how they felt but I didn’t have that luxury. I had Faith and I had to be strong for her, at least.

      There, at the end of the street, an adult. I hadn’t seen one of those since my parents died in the kitchen. Relief flushed through me as I hurried toward them. I didn’t recognize them but it didn’t matter, they could help. They were adults and we desperately needed adults right now.

      Where are we going? Faith continued in her whiny voice. I pointed but she shook her head, not understanding. It didn’t matter, she would see soon enough.

      Help was on its way.

      Four adults were all huddled together, their expressions of pain all the same. Perhaps they were trying to work out what happened last night at eight o’clock. Answers were more than welcome to all the questions I had.

      Excuse me, I need— My voice faltered as I reached for the elbow of the closest woman to get her attention.

      My hand went straight through her arm.

      I looked at her again, this time really looking at her. She was surrounded in the tiniest hint of yellow light.

      She was dead.

      They all were.

      I took
