Un Beta'd :)
Prologue
Can you imagine it? The attic I mean. No? Let me help you, imagine the old smell of wood and paint. The dust. The bricks layered out carefully hidden. All the old junk you've been meaning to clear out but never bothered to, the cold and hardness of it all. Then you remember something. You loved it, even just standing there brings back memories, the good..and the bad, what you remember the most and love the most is how much fun you had with your friends who you considered to be your family, all the secrets you shared and still do.
You're familiar with it now, you can imagine it now, am I right? Right. Well that's how it was for us. All of us. But only if you knew one person who could tell you about the world. space and time...we never had a lot of time, just a friendship which we never shared with anyone else until we found out we needed too. Until we found out that we did have secrets, we weren't such a family after all. I couldn't believe that it took spies to help us see that... I'm Maria Jackson and this is my story. Our story.
