Our House of Little Horrors
Chapter 1: Chatting in the Tree
It was a cool, calm evening. The sun had gentle warmth to it, being much more favourable in winter rather than summer, where even two minutes outside left you aching and running for shade.
On the far side of the town was a massive tree that could be seen from anywhere inside and outside the city. It stood tall and proud, its branches stretching towards the sky yet many of the branches were twisted and curved, allowing people to sit comfortably in the lower ones.
A thin woman with shoulder length blond hair, complimented with black streaks, was lying across two branches that curved to form a 'U' shape. She wore long black jeans that became baggy near the ankles and a pair of black basketball shoes with orange soles. Her top was an orange singlet with the Autobot symbol in red on it and a black mini jacket on, the collar purposely stuck up straight. Her emerald green eyes peered down at someone below.
"Hey pale-ass, is the sun burning ya yet?" She asked with a coy smile.
"Shut up under-tan ass." The person below shot back playfully. It was true, she was barely tan and she liked it, whereas her friend was as pale as a vampire.
She had long black hair that reached past her waist but she had it back in a ponytail. She also had green eyes that were sometimes blue depending on her mood. Her shirt was a black shirt with Bon Jovi's circle tour logo on it and she had dark blue jeans on plus her black sneakers.
"What do you wanna do Claire?" The black haired woman asked as a leaf fell and landed on her neck before she brushed it off. The other one shrugged.
"I dunno Cat, maybe we could cruise by some shops or something?" Cat looked up at her friend who stretched and shifted so she was facing her.
"Isn't there an oddities shop near Kmart?"
"In main the shopping district? Didn't it just open recently?"
"Yeah I heard there's old Transformers stuff too." Claire shot up.
"Shit really? Be nice if we could get TF stuff without the internet!" It was true, there were no transformers toys in the town at all, not even the movies which sucked for them since they were both major fans, Claire more proud to tell everyone whereas Cat would mention it if someone else brought it up.
"Yep so let's boogie on down there." Claire laughed, finding Cat's way of talking funny; she always said something strange to make sure they were paying attention. They were on the lower branches of the tree, so getting down was no problem. They headed through the park to get to the old shop, a little shortcut Cat had found.

Author's Note
Yes I'm doing a Transformers story now! I blame my sister for getting me into it. Anyhow sorry for the short chapter, it's more like a prologue but anyway reviews are welcome, even suggestions!
