A/N : Hey! Yet another fic, I know what you're thinking. I barely update any of them! Anyways, I posted this fiction a long while ago, and have otherwise neglected it. I'm ashamed, don't worry. Anyways, it's now Christmas Holidays of 2004, and I'm here to edit this chapter a bit and post a new and long awaited chapter. Enjoy!

Jessica Lillian Wright: A quiet woman with a fiery temper when provoked. 20 years of age. She has curly brown hair, bright blue eyes and tanned skin. She's curvy and short, and has a fettish for chocolate, accents, and cats. Her last home was a busy city where her mother was an editor for a famous magazine and her father was a laywer.

Seana Joan Banks :(Seana is pronounced the same as Shawna, if you didn't know...) A loud, attractive girl from town that Jessica meets while shopping. Seana is very sociable, and introduces Jessica to many people. She has black hair, green eyes and pale skin. Her frame is tall and thin, but she's not that active. She works at the variety store in town, and is supported financially by her mother, who won the lottery just over a year ago.

Arthor Lennon: Jessica's cousin, who eventually helps her out of a tight spot. He's married, ladies, and his part is later so I won't even bother describing him now.

And I would say a bit about Mr. Mort Rainey.. But I'm sure you've all memorized every aspect of that beautiful man from the movie.

Enjoy the first chapter, and review with some feedback, good or bad!

A Prelude To Chapter One : A Job Interview

Mom, Dad,

Gone for a work interview, eat without me. I will be back by Seven.

Love,

Jessica

Setting the pen upon the table, Jessica Wright looked up at the clock in her new home and grimaced. She knew her family was not well off, but this idea of work was new to Jessica. Jessica was an unemployed, 20 year old female with gambelers for parents. She, of course, was disappointed when her partents lost all their money, but she thought living near Tashmore Lake might be a nice change.

And it is.

Jessica looked up at the clock again.

4:26.

She had to be at this place in thirty-four minutes. Jessica gulped down her nervousness and and stood on her shaking legs.

You can't be this nervous when you meet him, you know.

Finishing her mountain dew, she snatched her keys from atop the fridge and left. The outside of their house was small, with only two trees and a garden with many flowers. And many weeds.

I'll have to fix that.

Once her car was started and Jessica seated in it, she scanned the directions given.

Go west on Mathers Lane, take a left, follow the road parallel to the lake for about 3 minutes and his cabin is a log cabin with a dark jeep parked beside.

"Right." she mumbled, and shifting her car into drive, Jessica spun around and down Mathers Lane.

Mm, Short, I know. But it is a prelude. So please review, and I'll put up the next chapter once I finish typing it...
