Prologue: In Which Three Friends Fall Down A Rather Large Hill:
"Are we there, yet?" I ask, tired and unbelieving that I ever agreed to do this.
Geez, the things I do for friendship. This is the last time I ever say 'yes' to one of Bridget's bright ideas of taking a 3 mile hike up a mountain. She turns and gives me a look.
"Hannah, that's the third time you've asked. We're getting there." she replies.
I glance over at Mari, Bridget's twin sister. They look almost nothing like twins. She shrugs and continues walking, but is looking out to admire the scenery. We get to a part covered in rocks.
"Careful." says Bridget as we ease across the boulders.
They shake loosely under my feet. Mari yelps as a single pebble slides out from underneath the rock she's standing on. I grab her arm and pull her onto the one I'm standing on, a sturdier boulder.
"Bridget, do we really have to go all the way? By the time we get to the top and come back down, it'll start to get dark, and I really don't want to drive at night for long." I complain.
Mari nods in agreement.
Her twin sighs and with a groan, replies, "Fine."
She jumps onto a nearby rock to get to us, when it dislodges itself and falls down the slope on the side, taking Bridget with it. All three our screams meld together. I watch in horror as she disappears out of sight. The missing rocks causes a chain reaction avalanche and Mari and I tumble down after her. The last things I see are the approaching shape of a horse's hooves. What's a horse doing around here?, I think as I slip away into darkness.
