Everyone had a soulmate. On everyone's 15th birthday, they got a watch, counting down the time until they world meet their  soulmate. Magnus Chase desperately wanted a soulmate. Someone to ghouls him and love him. And Alex Fierro was the same. But when They died, their timers stopped for a few moments before resetting. Now, instead of 4 years, 6 months, 13 days, and 21 minutes, it read one week, 3 days, 27 minutes, and 30 seconds. And they were terrified.

Magnus POV: 

My watch read 30 minutes. 30 until I met the love of my life. I was waiting in my room when I heard crashing outside.i approached the door, not seeing my watch read one minute, opened the door. I saw the commotion came from the room across from mine. My watched buzzed as I hit 10 seconds.

I was met with green and amber eyes, staring at me interested. That's when a pair of lips crashed on mine.
