Chapter 1 Let the trip begin:

Authors note:

I don't own Aleu or Kiara. most of the cities and locations besides Seattle that are mentioned are fictional and only by coincidence will match real locations. This is a horror story so for people who are easely getting scared it is perhaps recommended to not read, but I can promise that the things won't get tto bloody or horrible it will be a good horror story with other words now enjoy the story I would say. Kiara and Aleu are human like in this story so not humans they are still lion and wolfhound only their body is like that of humans by example standing on their hind legs and having an equal height to us!

Train station Seattle 11:30 P.M.:

Kiara and Aleu both were waiting on their night train to bring them from Seattle to Night city . You might ask why they went by train and the answer was quiet simple. Both Aleu and Kiara were afraid of planes so the train was the easiest transport besides an airplane to get from point A to B.

They had said goodbye to their parents who were quiet worried because they thought two girls alone equals two girls getting raped, but that of course wasn't necessary true. After a lot of complaining and with the promise that they would stick together their parents had finally agreed.

"When did the train come again," Aleu asked.

"He could be here any moment Aleu," Kiara answered.

And like the train had waited on that answer he came rolling in the next moment. The two went aboard and when they entered they saw the interior of the train. It was a modern train, but it also had something that reminded to the old train unit.

There was a dining room, normal seats, sleeping units and lay down units. Kiara and Aleu had a Sleeping room for themselves. That was the reason they had decided to pay the extra money because last time the two went with a train they had shared a room with people with gas problems and they spent most of their time outside the room, but because this trip was so long it would force them into staying longer in their room they didn't want to risk having annoying roommates .

"Awesome," Kiara exclaimed before a conductor came over and asked for their tickets after he had checked them he wished them a good trip, gave them the keys of their room before going to the other passengers to check their tickets.

The two girls went to their room and opened it with the key they had gotten from the conductor. It was nothing fancy just like expected, but it was clean and it was big enough. There were two beds made to the wall and a small sink for the toilet you would need to leave the room and go to the toilet into the corridor.

There were about five rooms in this unit and they had room number four. The two girls nearly lost their balance when the train suddenly started moving, but they had luck they could grab hold to each other preventing them from falling.

"Damn, didn't saw that one coming," Aleu said while releasing Kiara again.

"Yeah, that was unexpected good you were in the area," Kiara said.

The two girls started making their bed and went to sleep as both of them were exhausted.

Train next morning around 8:00 A.M.:

Kiara slowly woke up and looked around. She saw Aleu was still asleep and decided to wake her up.

"Aleu, wake up it's almost time for breakfast," Kiara said while gently poking Aleu in an attempt to wake her up.

"What, breakfast," Aleu mumbled while slowly waking up.

"Yeah come on or we will be late," Kiara said Five minutes later both girls were dressed. Kira was wearing a blue jeans and a red T-shirt with a brown jacket and Aleu was wearing a blue jeans and a green T- shirt.

They locked their room and headed towards the dining unit. When they arrived they saw a few families, two guys by the bar drinking a bear, A smoking man reading a newspaper with other words everything you would see in a normal diner.

There was only one thing that both girl noticed and that was a young male wolfhound about the same age of Kiara and Aleu that was sitting all around at a table. He was wearing a black jeans, a blue T-shirt and a black jacket.

He was reading in a book and he had his mobile phone laying on the table. They saw him looking at the phone for a brief moment before taking a nip of his coffee before resuming to rad his book.

The two girls searched a table, looked at the menu and ordered some coffee and a small toast.

After they had paid their order and eaten their toast Aleu's eyes once again fell on the wolfhound. She didn't knew what was up with him she just couldn't fit him in. He looked like some cool guy from high school, but the book didn't fit with that at the same time he looked like the opposite of the cool guys from high school, but that didn't fit him either.

And so Aleu tried to picture him in, but every time she thought she had it either she noticed something or he did something to not fit anymore in that category. She didn't knew why this was so important to her, but for some reason she just wanted to picture him in a category.

"You know you might get a shot with him," Kiara suddenly said breaking Aleu out of her trance.

"What," Aleu asked confused.

"I said you might get a shot with him," Kiara said while nodding at the wolfhound.

Aleu got what she was aiming at and said. "No, no you got it wrong!"

"You might sy that, but it is hard to believe after I saw how you looked at him," Kiara answered.

"Listen ugh I just was trying to picture that guy in a group you know like cool guys, nerds, goths, etc, but it just doesn't work," Aleu tried to explain.

Kiara gave her a look that said come on you can't think of a better excuse then that. "You need to believe me I mean does that guy look a little bit strange to you," Aleu asked.

Kiara looked at the guy again before saying. "Yeah, he is different from the other people, but I don't think anything more about it then that and neither should you."

"Yeah, you are probably right," Aleu said.

Train 10:00 A.M.:

Aleu was just walking a bit through the train a little bit daydreaming thinking about the guy when suddenly she bumped into someone.

She grabbed her head from pain and looked up and saw the guy she was thinking about. "Oh god, I am so sorry. I really didn't meant to," Aleu said before she was cut off.

"No, no it is alright I didn't saw you either," He said while looking at her. "Hey, you were the one who was looking at me for a while by breakfast weren't you," The guy asked.

"Aleu started blushing heavy before saying. "Sorry, it wasn't my intention to be rude. I just saw you were the only one travelling alone and well uhm."

"Don't be I can understand your way of thinking not many people travel alone at least not these distances by train," The guy said.

"Were are you actually heading," Aleu asked.

"Night city you," The guy asked.

"Night city," Aleu said.

"Uhm, well why don't you come sitting with me and my friend I am sure she won't mind then you have some company the rest of the trip," Aleu proposed.

"Yeah, that sounds great I was starting to feel myself a bit lonely anyway by the way m name is Mike," The guy said.

"Pleasant to meet you my name is Aleu and my friend name is Kiara," Aleu answered.

"Well, Aleu I have some things to do, but I will see you and your friend then at lunch," Mike said.

"Yeah, see you by," lunch Aleu replied then Mike turned around and entered the room next to her and Kiara. 'So he is the guy in room three huh,' Aleu thought in herself before entering her own room.

Kiara was sitting on her bed reading a book and asked. "Where have you been?"

"Just exploring the train a bit and I ran into that guy from earlier," Aleu said.

"And," Kiara asked.

"And I invited him to come sit with us for lunch he seemed like a nice guy and he is travelling to night city as well. His name is Mike by the way," Aleu said.

"Oh okay, I see so your making the first move huh," Kiara said playfully.

"Will you quit it I am not hitting on him," Aleu saiid.

"Yet," Kiara replied causing Aleu to roll her eyes in annoyance before grabbing her own book and started reading a bit.

Train 00:05 P.M.:

The two girls arrived at the dining and saw Mike was already sitting down at a table and signalling the two.

Aleu and Kiara both went over to him.

"Hello, Aleu and you would be Kiara is that correct," The guy asked.

"Yes, that's correct and you would be Mike is that correct," Kiara asked

"Yes, that's correct, but sit down I already hold a seat for you two," Mike said then they both ordered some food and Mike paid for them saying. "No, no you at least were kind enough to let me sit with you let me be so kind to pay this time."

"So you are heading to Night city as well if I heard it correctly," Mike said.

"Yes, we are making a small trip to it," Aleu answered.

"Good choice it's a beautful city," Mike replied.

"So you have been there before," Kiara asked.

"Yes, A good friend of mine lives there it is a shame I can only visit him once a year, but you know works needs to allow it and his works needs to allow it and besides it's a big trip and I am afraid of flying in planes so train is the best alternative I have," Mike replied.

"Same here," Aleu said.

"Afraid of planes as well," Mike asked.

"Yep," Kiara replied.

They talked for a while longer until Mike said he needed to do something and that he would see them by Diner hopefully. Both Kiara and Aleu looked fore ward to it.

The girls were back in their own room and were reading their book when Aleu suddenly asked. "What are we actually going to do in Night city again?"

"Visit the museum, going to the many shops there are, making a walk in the parks and you know the basic stuff you do when you go to a city," Kiara replied.

"Do we have a map of the city," Aleu asked.

"Yes, I have one in my backpack," Kiara said while taking her backpack and showing Aleu the map.

"Okay, good how is your book," Aleu asked.

"It's good yours," Kiara asked.

"Yeah, it's good I am a fan from the series lost in the madness," Aleu replied.

"Is a good serie. I have read a couple of books from it a few weeks ago and I was impressed that writer has some skills," Kiara said.

I completely agree, but I do ask myself when he will release the next book need to check that when I find internet access," Aleu said.

"In the hotel with other words," Kiara replied.

"I hope so otherwise I have no idea what is going on on facebook and twitter and that is a problem because I am looking for the release date of those new dresses from that new designer who's name I still forget," Aleu said.

"Yeah, I am waiting for those as well, but I don't remember the name of the designer either oh well it will come back in time," Kiara said.

Train 7:00 P.M.:

The girls locked their door when suddenly they saw Mike coming out of his room as well.

"Hello, Mike," Aleu and Kiara both said.

"Hello Aleu and Kiara I was just about to leave for Diner, but I see I can come with you two now," Mike said.

The three arrived at the diner to see that the people were just arriving. "Looks like we arrived right on time," Mike said before taking a seat to a table and gesturing Aleu and Kiara to do the same thing.

They ordered their food and when they were eating Kiara asked. How many time have you actually been in Night city?"

"I think one time now, but that one time was enough for my friend to show me all the beautiful spots you can see there," Mike answered.

"You know I am sure of it that you girls will like that city," Mike said.

"It's already good to hear that the city gave you some good memories," Aleu said.

'It certainly has," Mike replied and the rest of the evening the three talked about some stuff until they all were tired and went off to bed.
