## Fate

Alive

**Bekah Yorgason** is a main character in the Dawn of Magic. She is Adira's best friend. Her family came from a magical world called Solestrale, and she escaped to Earth when she was a child. Since then, the Furies have haunted Bekah as she tried to stay under their radar. Her predicament, often called her secret, is a major plot point in the story.

## History

When Adira asks if she could sit next to her, Bekah agrees. They eat lunch together and go outside, and Bekah races Adira and beats her by sliding on her stomach down a hill. She crashes into a tree, and Kevin approaches, asking if she is okay, to which she says yes grudgingly. Bekah laughs at Adira when she waves to her crush Ethan, and Adira pokes fun of her crush on Nathan, and Bekah blushes. She follows Adira, Lauren, and Lily to spy on Kevin's friend group, and while Adira is listening on the conversation, Bekah startles her by asking her what she heard. She runs after Adira when Adira tells her friends to scatter after the boys realize they're there.

In Mrs. Yardley's science class, Bekah discovers that Adira wrote Ethan a note, and Bekah exclaims in surprise, causing everyone in the class to looks at Adira. She hits Bekah, sending her sprawling. After Ethan coincidentally enters the room, overhears the conversation, and leaves, believing a lie from Adira that Nathan wrote the note, Bekah and Lily laugh.

Adira notes that Bekah plays the flute in the school band along with Adira and Ethan. After school during a thunderstorm, Adira talks to Bekah before having to walk home, and Bekah expresses her love of storms.

While Adira and Kevin are talking about the magical waterfall, Bekah interrupts them, sending Kevin off. She accuses Adira of talking to him and asks her if she knows her "secret." Adira growls at Bekah, and Bekah apologizes, claiming she just couldn't stand Kevin. Bekah expresses amusement when Lily tells her friends that Kevin said hi to her. When Adira asks her frieds if they heard about the waterfall, Bekah snaps that she doesn't want to hear about anyone's lies. Adira insults Bekah, and Bekah says sorry again.

At a school assembly, Bekah is the only sixth grader who doesn't congratulate Adira for winning first place in a writing contest. Instead, she glares at Adira and whips around so her back faces her friend. Ethan tells Adira that he heard from Nathan that she was distant and snappy and that she wasn't doing well on her homework. She also allegedly yelled at Courtney. She then requests to talk to Adira while Adira and Ethan are playfighting. Bekah apologizes to Adira for mistreating her and cites her worries about the Furies. She expresses that the only people who should know her secret is Adira, Kevin, and Lauren. Adira asks if Bekah is a criminal, and Bekah says yes. She says she can't forget about her situation, so it "stinks to be [her]." Bekah heads off to class with Adira before Adira realizes she had forgotten something and runs back into the auditorium.

Bekah calms down Adira before entering a partry hosted by their classmate Karter. Adira calls Bekah "lovesick" and playfully embarrasses her about her crush on Nathan in front of several kids, and Bekah hits Adira in retaliation. Bekah enter's Kater's mansion and notices Adira looking ill, but proceeds to see all the rooms in the house. Bekah dares Adira to ride on a slide that connects the first and second floors together, but Adira declines, prompting Bekah to ask her if everything is alright. Later, while the group gets food, Bekah stares in confusion at Adira storming away from the scene of Ethan and Lily "flirting" in Italian.
