Chapter One

Catherine and Katrina were almost done packing up when Catherine's cell rang, "Hello?" she answered. Katrina stood and listened to one end of the conversation. "Yea, we're almost done... Would it be alright if we spent one last night here?... Yes, I know we need to be back tomorrow. We will don't worry... okay bye," Catherine hung up and turned to her best friend. They stared at each other for a second then continued packing. Both Catherine and Katrina were seniors and it was the end of the year, they'd be graduating in a couple of days. Catherine's family was moving from their small crowded house into a huge farm house. Once Catherine and Katrina were done packing they sighed in unison and laughed. "We should say goodbye to this old place, Katrina," Catherine said.

"Yeah, I'm gonna miss this place. We had so many crazy things happen here."

"Hmm... like that time when we were twelve and we were walking the creepizoid home?"

"Oh yeah! And you turned around after we'd started heading back and called my name..."

"You turned around and went wide eyed and we screamed and took off running all the way to my house..."

"We ran in, locked the front door then upstairs and locked your door and hid under the covers. I could swear that the snow rolling towards us had a face in it and was like the rolling sand from the Mummy.*"

"Yep, or the time we went to the park and no matter where you stood the moss I was flinging still hit you?*"

"Hahahahaah! Huh... Yea, good times."

"So, let's get to reminiscing in other parts of the house now," Catherine finished.

They left her old basement bedroom and headed up to the main floor. Sharing stories of different rooms; some funny, some sad. Eventually they grew tired and went back down to the basement to sleep. Catherine set up the air mattress and then collapsed on it, Katrina following her lead. They quickly fell asleep... later Katrina was roughly shaken awake, "Mhmmm, what?" she asked annoyed.

"Shh... I thought I heard someone in the house," Catherine whispered. Immediately after she said that the girls heard the basement door open. Katrina jumped up and tuned on the light. Catherine stared up at her in fear and Katrina stared back. "I- I thought you locked the doors!" Katrina whispered.

"Of course I didn't! I left the hall light on, besides I grew up here. We never locked the door and nobody ever bothered us. I did lock the-"

Catherine was cut off by a knock on her bedroom door. Carefully she crept over and locked it, shivering in fear she walked over to Katrina and they curled up under Catherine's bedroom window. There was another knock and Catherine whispered, "Hello?" Katrina glared at her. "What?" Catherine whispered. The knocking stopped and the girls heard footsteps heading back up the stairs. They waited a little longer then got up and headed to the door. Catherine unlocked it and carefully opened it, there was no one there. Closing the door she turned back to Kartina and sighed. They turned back to the mattress and screamed. Sitting on the mattress as if it had been there the entire time was a package with their pen names on it.

"H-how did that get there," Katrina asked. Catherine went over to it, pulled out a pocket knife and opened it. Inside was a lot of packing peanuts. Catherine reached in and pulled some things out; a stack of foreign currency, and a note in the same foreign language. "What the heck?" Catherine said, "How're we supposed to read this?"

"Don't you have your cell, Cat? You get the internet, get on and find a translator on Google or something," Katrina suggested.

"Oh, yea, DUH...," Catherine replied as she pulled out her cell and got online. "Okay, it says:

'Dear, Cho Miki and Sophia West;

My name is Gensu. You're probably wondering why a stranger is trying to contact you. The answer is simple, if you choose to meet me at the below address. You have two weeks to respond.

Sincerely,

Gensu ' "

Catherine and Katrina stared at each other. The note fell to the mattress and their eyes followed it. "Hey, the money, it's in American now!" Katrina exclaimed. "Le- let's put this away, go to bed, and deal with it tomorrow, maybe it will turn out to be a weird dream," Catherine said. Katrina nodded in agreement and they put everything away and went to bed. Unaware of the stranger sitting not to far from Catherine's window.

Author's Note: End of chapter one. The asterisks in the chapter are to note that those stories were one hundred percent true, they really did happen to my friend and I. The names have been changed for protection reasons. This story originally came from my friend, she came up with it and we were the main characters just for the fun of it. We didn't originally intend to turn it into a real story but I couldn't resist so here it is. I am the only one working on it now but for the beginning of the story a lot of the ideas came from my friend and I have tweaked them because of horrible memory on my part. Later on the story will transition into only my ideas and I will alert you to it. Please review. I would love to know what you think of my story. And if you like it I have more work posted at .com Thank you for reading!

P.S. Sorry this chapter is so short I'll try and make the other ones longer. 3 (=^^=)
