Prologue

Dominique

I ran home in shock. How could he do this to me. I dashed through the house avoiding my family and flew into my room. I climbed up to my bunk and burst into to tears. I rarely cried even though I am eight years old.

It all started about a 4 months ago. I was outside with James, my best friend and cousin, when we decided that we wanted to go exploring. James was tired of the guests in his house and I just wanted to do something. We always went exploring when we were bored We never really discovered anything until that day.

We had gone farther than usual and were just talking about stuff when we found it. It was a small little clubhouse. James wanted to go inside. I on the other hand thought it looked spooky and was haunted. James decided he would go in for awhile leaving me alone.

After about five minutes curiosity and my not wanting to be alone I silently went inside. I walked into the kitchen and was crossing the floor to get to when I saw a boy about my age under the table. I gasped in fright and was about to call James when I realized he was just as scared as I was. I crept underneath the table to say hello. He scooted away.

"Hi" I whispered.

He stared at me and whispered "Who are you"

"I could ask you the same question" I replied.

He laughed a little and I knew that I had made a new friend. For some reason he did not want to meet James. I never learned his name and I don't think he knew mine. We always called each other Robin and Marian. We would always meet on Friday at around noon. It was the only time that James couldn't meet me and have fun. Today I went to the house and found him there.

He looked just a little glum. We messed around a bit and then I realized I had to go. We were saying good-bye when he said, "I'll never come back Marian, I'll miss you" I stared at him. His brown eyes looked sad. I darted to the door ready to cry but refusing to. I stole one glanced back. He was standing in the doorway waving good- bye.

I still can't believe he was telling the truth. I decided I would go back the next day.

I stared at the note in my hand and re-read it. I got the courage and put it the diary. I quickly set it in a place Dominique would find it but no one else would, the fridge. I then left the club house for the last time.

On the way home I thought about how I got into this mess. How I met a beautiful, spunky, sweet girl, Marian. Had met every Friday at the little house I had found. I had a little crush on her, I mean she was pretty and fun. Then I found out that she was not only James's friend but she was also his cousin.

I had been staying at the Potter's house all summer. I realized that my new friend may realize who I am. I do not know why I wanted to keep my identity secret. I guess it was because my twin and I, Loracan, shared everything. We shared our room, our house, our air, our friends, our secrets, our time. It really stunk, I mean our sister, Julie, got her own everything. I guess I just really wanted Dominique to myself. I know, It's selfish, but I can't help it. We were also leaving in a so many thoughts in my head I wasn't watching where I going. As I was walking through the door, I bumped into James.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry " I said.

"No, it's my fault, sorry" James replied and then went out the door. He is probably going to see Dominique. My heart tangled with regret.

James

I rolled my eyes as I shut my door, what was wrong with him. He was always doing that. Why couldn't he watch where he was going. I jogged over to Dominique's house. She had called me sounding quite sad. She told me to meet her on the front of her house. I agreed a little confused.

"Hey James" Dom said.

"Hey back" I said.

She smiled a little. "Do you remember that old club house we found a few months ago?" she asked.

"Ya" I said hesitantly.

"Will you go back with me?"

"You bet!" I said, ready for adventure!

We left talking and in a half hour we found it. Dom ran inside and opened the refrigerator. She grabbed something out, a blue journal I stared confused she turned and said, "We're staying the night."

Dominique

It was a long night, James fell asleep quickly in the other room. I knew because he snored very loudly. After an hour I grabbed the diary from under my pillow. I had found it in the fridge because that was obvious that he would stick something in there, we always put everything in there. I opened the diary and a note fell out. I smiled and picked it up.

Before I tell you what the note said I am first going to tell you about how I knew we would be able to sleep here. (Just to keep you in suspense) I had asked my mom once I recovered and she told only if I got James to come with me. Then I asked if we could spend the night it was getting dark. Mum was very reluctant but then dad came to the rescue! So then I asked James's mom also agreed with Uncle Harry's help. Then I got James to come with me. So now that I've told you that, here is the letter:

Dear Marian/Dominique,

I can never see you again. I have found your true identity. You are an amazing friend who I will never forget. You may be crying but as I wrote this note I was too. I shall miss you and I'm proud to call you my friend. I shall not reveal my real name. I miss you all ready,

Ly Robin

(The Ly was crosses out in the letter, lol)
