Chapter 1:
"Mom, wake up now…I need another ride to school!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "If you want a ride to the bus stop that's fine, but a ride to school? You have legs that can carry you just fine…" she yelled back. "Fine, then but we better hurry if we're to make the bus, alright?" I said.
"Fine I'm up…are you ready to go?" said my mom. "No I'm standing here fully groomed with a bagel in my hand but not ready yet. (chuckle) Yeah I'm ready. Here are the keys lets go…" and we walk out the door and into the car. "Which stop would you like for today…?" "Rigel bay please…" I much prefer to be alone while waiting for the bus then to be in a loud and judging crowd. "Alright then here we are sweet-heart. Have a nice day." she calls to me as I exit the car just as the bus pulls up to the road. "Alright. Thanks for the ride. I love you bye!" I call as I run to the bus.
My name is Seryna Aceveso I'm a 17 year old girl in high school, I have long brown hair, and purple eyes. Today I chose to wear a mid-sleeved red t-shirt, silver jeans, and a black fur long coat and matching black boots.
As I got onto the bus, "well look who it is…" I hear this as a passenger stands to give me the seat next to them. "Hello my darling it's been to long…" I walk over to see the person that was my best friend, Paige Porter, or as I call her piggums. "It's only been a few hours since you were at my house…" I say lamely to her as I take the given seat next to her. "Yeah, that's my point, it's been to long…" sigh, I guess I could play along, ah what the heck… "Ah my sweet I can't tell you in simple words the pain I've seen without you there in my life." Ugh why… "yeah I know I'm awesome…" typical "so how are you piggums?" "Ok…the wall bit me this morning so I kicked it and it hurt, but other than that I'm great…" the wall bit her? "Ok? Anyways I'm sorry the wall…biting you" "you're boring in the mornings you know that…" "Yeah love you too…" how nice.
(time skip)
The bus pulled up to the school and we all got off to go to the cafeteria. After about 30 min. of shouting and squishing and rowdy kids all in one room mixed with food…not fun, the bell rang meaning time to go to class. Great.
(Time skip)
Lunch… "So Seryna how has your day been so far?" asked Paige sitting down with a tray of food. "Ok I guess… as good as a school day could be (chuckle) yours?" "Ditto" we sat there in silence for a few minutes eating until we both got bored enough to speak. "So…" we both say in unison making us both start laughing… "Ok so you are coming over today, yes?" "Heck yah girl… if it's ok?" "I did just invite you didn't I? "Sweet thanks count me in… (Ring!) Well I'll see you on the bus later Kay girl, bye!" "See you". Great, time for more oh-so boring school.
(Time skip)
"Ah! Finally schools over and done with (sigh) oh hey Paige!" I call getting on the bus. "Hello my beautiful how was your day? Did you miss me?" "Oh it was ok…boring" "touché" "are you getting off at my stop?" the bus starts moving "uh yah you know me I'm lazy I want the quickest way and you know it " of course… shoot I didn't even ask my mom if she could come over…but then again Paige is there every day it shouldn't be anything new to her now should I at least call her or… "Hey! Wake up stupid you're going to miss the stop…man and I claim to be lazy you fell asleep thinking ha" "oh oops my bad I'm sorry please don't pin it on me I'm sorry ok…" I ramble on still half awake "yo chill girl it's cool you don't have to pull a Tohru moment come on let's go…" she said standing, is it really my stop already? Wow now I feel stupid…I stand gather my stuff and head off the bus to catch up with Paige. We walk down my street as she continually teases me for sleeping, as we come up on the house…
"Hey where's your mom?" Paige asked…I look in the drive and see that there is a car missing… "Oh, that's odd she didn't tell me she wasn't going to be home" stupid mom typical "oh well come on in its not like we'll be playing with fire or anything." We walked into the house and get some snacks and began building a fire in the pit to help warm the house… "So when do you think she will be back this time?" Paige asks oh I don't know she's always taking off without telling were and since my brother mover out of the house I've had a lot of alone time…not that I'm complaining. "I have no clue where she is or when she will be back so…" "Can't you just call her?" she asked "no not really she never remembers her cell I don't even know why she has one…oh well what you want to do?" I ask as we walk upstairs to my bedroom when she freezes…
"Hey what's up with you?" I ask walking into my room. "um, what in the world happened to your room it wasn't like this when I was here yesterday and you don't have a boyfriend…do you?" ugh must she… "No and my room isn't that bad" is it? Now that I'm actually looking I guess it is a little messy but not so messy that you have to act like a sickened aristocrat. "Not that…alright I'll help you clean up ok?" "Now who's no fun ha" "shut up and clean…" ugh no fair…we start cleaning when a banging starts coming from my closet…
"Are you keeping a raccoon in there?" she laughed, "no, at least I don't think so…" "Well I'm opening it" she said moving closer to the closet slowly. "no way my closet ,banging or not, whatever is in there is my problem so you get to stand back there and hold that big stick and I will open it ok…" I say handing her a big cane like wooden stick and smiling while walking towards the closet. I wonder what that was. The closet is so small it's like impossible for anything to hide in there…
I open the closet slowly not knowing what to expect I feel Paige standing right behind me holding my shoulder trying to see inside as I give up and quickly open the closet to see nothing…at all. "Are we hearing things?" I ask looking back to her with a sigh of relief. "No but now I feel compelled to go through your stuff in there…" she says slowly moving past me as I move to join her. We sit there together going through each bin pulling everything out. "Well I give up that's everything, your house is haunted." Paige said standing up to go sit on my bed. "Wait just umm helps me move the bins I'd like to see underneath…" "Really…fine" she says standing back up and walking over towards me. "Lift on three…" "Three…" she says as she stands dragging me with her. "Hey I said on three!" "Yeah and I said three as I lifted." "Booger ok let's see here…" "What is that?" she asks pointing to a small latch in the ground. I indistinctively begin reaching for it as I feel Paige's hand return to my shoulder and I unlatch the lock. Slowly I open it and reveal four pieces of paper. "Well let's read them…" I pull them out and see one that read portal send out with the numbers 0-9 below it. On the second page there was a hand print and thumb print, same on the third, but on the fourth page were instructions… "Well go on read them. Paige said in my ear. "It reads…
To whoever finds this stuff I must congratulates you have fun and tell me what you think of my beautiful craftiness so then do the following and next thing you know you'll be in a whole different world…
Step 1 tape the first and second pages to the outside of this closet.
Step 2tape the third page to the back of the closet.
Step 3press your left hand to the inner or outer hand print (pick only one at a time)(if with a friend have him/her put there left thumb to the print below) think of somewhere you'd like to go weather it is a real place or not(be sure if not alone to have your friend thinking of the same thing)and your done
Steps 4 enjoy…be safe and keep track of the closet you came from you might need to get back eventually.
Well then shall we" I asked looking back at Paige. "Ciel Phantomhives manner?" "No problem…here we go…" I say as we both reach for the freshly taped piece of paper hanging on the wall with little to no hesitation. "here we go" I say placing my hand on the print as Paige placed her thumb on her print, us both thinking of Ciel Phantomhives room when the wall in the closet begins glowing and everything goes dark…I guess it's time for another nap…hmm an interesting notion in its own way.
