Chapter One - Arival
I stood outside my front door for a moment, catching my breath. The day had been long. Two tests in a single day? You'd think the teachers aspired to kill me... A slow and painful death, I'm sure... I sighed. Now that I was home, perhaps I could finally have some piece and quiet. It's a possibility. I chuckled to myself and swung my bag back onto my back before proceeding through the front door.
The smell of some sort of cleaner reached my nose and made me wish I were sick, or perhaps it made me sick...? Well, either way, it was revolting. The company had tried for flowers. Possibly rotting ones. Or poisonous rainforest ones. It took only a few more seconds for me to realize what that meant: It was Wednesday. More specifically: it was SPRING CLEANING Wednesday. Yes, the dreaded day. Perhaps the worst day of the year. Maybe if I could be perfectly quiet, and sneak past to the stairs and dash into my room before I was spotted? It's worth a try, I thought hopefully to myself.
I hastily pulled off my sneakers and coat -too loud for this type of mission- and lay them carefully on the floor. The vacuum cleaner started in the living room and I slipped, startled into making a mistake. To my utter horror, a dime, just ten cents, fell to the ground, hitting the hard wood floor with a satisfied clink. The vacuum stopped for a moment as my mother's head peeked around the corner of the wall that separated the front hall from the living room. She glanced for only a moment before returning to her work. I slowly let out a breath and pulled the coats and jackets off me. As soon as I had heard the vacuum start I had reached the closet and closed the door silently. I knew all to well the consequences of being caught.
Once again I followed the hallway, carefully avoiding the displaced boxes of old things that were probably being thrown out. I almost tripped as I glanced at a box. Inside, a discarded Manga lay. Angrily I grabbed it and checked the cover: Card Captor Sakura. That's funny... I thought to myself, I don't remember ever having any Card Captor Sakura Manga...
Well, who ever owns won't be getting it back anytime soon... I mused merrily. Cardcaptors had always been my favorite show, and if I were able to speak any Japanese at all, Card Captor Sakura would be too. I'd really have to read this if i escaped to the safety of my room. That thought brought me back to reality. I was still in the hallway! How much longer could my mother vacuum the same spot?! I hurriedly tip-toed toward the stairs. Once I was upon the fourth step, I sighed with relief.
As I reached my room I opened the book. Oh great! I thought, It's the first one, I love this episode! Another thing I noticed was it was in English. I smiled to myself, silently praising myself for being good that day. Must be all that good Karma coming back to reward me for all my good deeds. I chuckled and opened to the first page. I noticed something about the pictures' they didn't look solid, but unsettling. Perplexed, I drew the book closer to me and squinted at the ink drawings.
"Since when does Sakura have long hair?" I asked the book, hoping for some explanation. Then, as if it had heard me, a piece of paper folded several times, slipped out of the pages. I cautiously picked it up and noted how old and crinkled it seemed. I unfolded it carefully and read the words on the note. Dear Reader,
I would like to inform you that you have happened upon a book that was never meant to be made. I should warn you that it is very dangerous. It pulls it's victims into the stories themselves, placing them as the main character. If you are holding this book now, I ask you to DESTROY it immediately. If uncontrolled, it is likely to take whoever reads it. I must insist again that you DESTROY this book without endangering yourself or others.
Thank you,
The note had been left unsigned. I sat and stared for a moment at the note allowing all that I had just discovered to sink in. Then slowly I realized what I held in my hands. For lack of a better word, it was basically a magical book. I laughed out loud, perhaps to prove to myself this wasn't real, or perhaps I was going insane and this was only a figment of my imagination. Either way, it didn't matter.
I stared at the letter. Of all the unexpected things you'd find in a book! But how dangerous could it be? Maybe it was some kind of twisted joke. This book was so lovable though! I considered each fact in my head, but in the end, my instincts got the better of me. Becoming deaf to my senses I sank into my bed and began to read, the thirst for curiosity consuming me.
For a moment I wondered how I would be pulled into the story. Big swirling time hole? Or maybe it'll really suck me in ad I'll become two- dimensional... I cringed at that thought... I kind of liked the world with width... What the heck! I thought, What's to lose!
As I began reading I remembered I could lose width... But it was too late...
Well guys, hope ya liked. Sorry to say it, but I had to use the English names and all that. I really do not know how to use the name-ender-things (- chan, -san, -sama ect...) And rather than embarrass myself further, I decided to scrap it. lol.. Anyway. Please R and R if you have the time. Please don't Flame Me... But I would enjoy some helpful criticism! If anything doesn't seem right about a Character, tell me and I'll change it A.S.A.P.! Anyway, the next chapter will be good. Hope you all like it!
