Chapter One

If I thought my life was crazy before I moved to Seattle, I did not know how much crazier it would get afterwards.

I should introduce myself I am Lillian Grace Stone, but everyone other than my father calls me Lilli. I am a thirteen year old hyperactive girl with slight dyslexia. I am homeschooled and in the 7th grade. I lived with my mom up until… well I would rather not talk about it right now.

I was hanging out in a tree above the house reading a book that I stole from my father's library. I was not actually supposed to be taking books out of there, but I couldn't help it I loved to read. The book was about Ancient Egyptian "magicians". Not that I believed magic was real or anything like that, but I loved learning about ancient cultures and Egypt was one of my favorites.

When I looked up I thought I saw a girl appear out of nowhere but I just blamed it on my overactive imagination. I saw that she was checking out the house. Finally I gave in to my curiosity and went down to her. She looked familiar, but I did not know why. Maybe she was just someone that I had seen in London. She looked about my age with caramel-colored hair with purple and red streaks on the sides. I wonder what she is going sneaking around my house.

Guess I will just have to go figure out. As long as my father doesn't see me I am safe, right?
