Chapter 1: The house hidden in Lovers Lane.
It was a windy September afternoon on Prince Edward Island as Anne Shirley set off down the road towards the house of her bosom friend, Diana Barry.
She and Diana had agreed to meet each other at the Barry household at 2pm giving enough time for the two other girls who had also been invited to arrive, Ruby Gillis and Jane Andrews.
As Anne came to the bridge which passed over the Lake of Shining Waters she noticed that there was a small piece of paper lying on the bridge.
Anne reached for it but the paper was carried away by a howling gust of wind, which also knocked off Anne's hat!
"Oh, this is so romantic, I simply must find out what was written on the inside of that paper!" Anne thought out loud as she hurriedly chased after her light brown hat which was blowing up towards a small sycamore tree.
After she gracefully plucked her hat out of the tree she forgot about the piece of paper and began to imagine.
This was her favourite thing to do, imagine! On this particular occasion she imagined that concealed inside the paper was a secret code which only she could decipher and that it would tell her the directions to a small field where she was to spend the rest of her days imagining stories and writing them down in a magical notebook which never ran out of pages.
Before she knew she had arrived at the Barry household. She was about to bang her small, delicate knuckles against the hard dark wood of the door when suddenly she noticed that sitting on top of the roof was the small piece of paper.
Anne was reluctant to come to a conclusion as to whether or not she was to climb the roof, the last time she had done so it was because of dare chosen by Josie Pye and had resulted in her breaking her ankle.
She never came to a conclusion because when she heard footsteps coming in her direction and saw Jane Andrews walking towards her she immediately forgot about the paper and began to talk to Jane.
Once all of the girls had gathered together they immediately went out on a journey to Lovers Lane.
"It's strange really, when I was eleven I used to get such a thrill from walking through here but now that I am to fourteen in one week I feel like it is just normal and hat there is nothing exciting about it at all." said Anne as she took the role of leader in their short expedition to the farthest side of Lovers Lane. They hadn't realised that they had never explored it until yesterday afternoon when Ruby Gillis had pointed it out.
As they drew nearer to their destination Anne began to get a thrill. "Oh, I seem to be getting a thrill out of this, well, this is something I never expected to happen again." said Anne as she happily ran ahead of the other girls into a thick, green, group of bushes.
"Oh, my, why you simply must come and look at this!" shrieked Anne as the other girls came crashing through the bushes, as a result of this Jane Andrews awkwardly landed on top of Diana.
After the girls were standing they slowly glanced up, expecting to see Anne but instead they got presented with a marvellous house. It had golden panes of glass for the windows while underneath the windows there was small ledge coloured a deep marine blue. The girls then glanced at the door and saw that it was blood red in colour. Finally they glanced at the house itself, it appeared to be made of wood and it was bright purple in colour.
"Why, this house is ridiculously coloured, I don't see why you're so excited Anne!" said Ruby Gillis as she tried to be a sensible young lady but she failed to do even that as she stepped inside the house, following the other girls.
"Oh!" exclaimed Diana as she glanced around the house they had just entered, her main interest was the beautifully coloured mosaic on the floor, it was divided into four pieces and in the middle there was a small square with a piece of paper resting on it, when Anne saw this she ran over and snatched it to the girls surprise.
"Finally, oh, I can't wait to see what it says!" said Anne as she unfolded the paper suddenly her face dropped, "It's blank!" yelled Anne as she angrily threw it onto the ground.
The paper was immediately forgotten as the girls explored the rest of the house which now appeared to be deserted.
On their return to the downstairs mosaic the girls noticed that the piece of paper had landed perfectly in the little square in the middle of the mosaic.
"Oh my, look, it has writing on it this time!" exclaimed Jane Andrews as she bent down to pick it up to read. "It's stuck, ok, I have an idea, each of us will step inside one of the four sections of the mosaic and then we will all pull on the paper together."
And the girls did just that but sadly the paper still wouldn't move so they all bent down to read it, aloud, together.
They read and exclaimed, "Digital World!" as that was what had been written in the letter.
Slowly the sections of the mosaic began to drift away from each other, "We're moving!" yelled Ruby Gillis as she tried to jump off of her section and land on Jane Andrews' one. She made the jump and happily exclaimed but her happiness was short lived because the mosaic began to crumble beneath her, she looked around and saw that it was happening to all of the mosaics.
Suddenly light began to come out of the ground and shone around each of the girls, Anne got a blue light, Diana a red one, Ruby Gillis had a pink one and Jane Andrews got a yellow one.
The lights began to gradually fade and once they had gone completely the girls began to fall!
So what did you think? More on the way soon!
