Sincerely, The Stalker
Chapter 1 The First Note
My name is Ann. I'm just like any other 17 year old girl. Well-I guess I am a little tomboyish but that's beside the point. My hometown is Flowerbud Village where I live with my Dad and my brother, Gray.
At least I used to just be a normal girl like that. But then those . . . things started happening. I guess I better start my story from the beginning. . .
* * *
It was Spring 3, and I woke up with a start as Gray shook me. I sat up and blinked.
"What's the emergency?" I asked him, wondering if there was something wrong.
He shook his head signifying nothing was wrong. He doesn't talk much, not even around his own sister. I looked at the calendar and remembered what day it was. Today the new farmer guy was coming to town. I jumped up and quickly got dressed before rushing out the door and going down to the beach to join everyone else.
I went to stand over next to my best friend Karen. Even though we lived closest to the beach, I seemed to be the last one that had arrived to greet the boat.
"Hey, Karen, sleep well last night?" I asked boredly.
She just looked at me and raised her eyebrows, as if not believing what I had just asked her.
"Are you still asleep or something? That's the kind of thing I would ask when I'm drunk!"
We both laughed but we were cut short by the loud booming of the ferry's horn sounding, signifying they would be docking in about 5 minutes. Everybody grew silent as we waited for the large boat to make its way to shore.
The boat finally docked and a boy who looked about my age stepped off. He had chestnut brown hair and a matching shade of eyes. He wore a baseball cap backward with two tufts of hair stuck out of, revealing his hair color. He had on regular farming clothes-overalls, plain shirt, gloves, boots-but somehow they looked a little different.
As I walked up to greet him, I was suddenly filled with dread. I didn't know why but something just seemed to be wrong about him. When I finally got up to him I looked at him more closely.
"Uh. . .hi?" he said to me, waving a bit.
I blinked. I must have gone into some sort of a trance for a second. The feeling I had had before was gone. He seemed nice enough and he was also pretty cute.
"Oh, sorry," I began, "my name is Ann. Welcome to Flowerbud Village!" I smiled cheerfully.
He seemed to blush a little before he said the next thing to me.
"Uh . . . nice to meet you . . . uhm . . . Ann" he stuck out a shaking hand.
I shook it and smiled. We both blushed a little bit. [Man that guy must have a major crush on me] I thought to myself. And I had just met him too!
The next few weeks went on normally. I would do everything I would usually do; Jack would stop by and flirt with me now and again. But then it was Spring 18. A new guy turned up on Jack's doorstep. His name was Cliff and he was a wandering guy. I met him the next day.
I was in the mountains gathering some things for my Dad when I saw someone staring at me. I jumped up, a bit surprised and dropped everything I had been carrying. The guy quickly rushed over and began to help me.
I looked over at him quickly to see who he was. He had brown hair that was in a ponytail and separated into 5 sections of bangs in the front. His head was down so I couldn't see much else about him. I suddenly got the same feeling that I had gotten when I first met Jack. Was it just me or was I getting this feeling a lot more often? We both bent down to reach the same thing and our hands touched. We both looked up at each other in surprise and both blushed. I saw that he had amber brown eyes that went well with his hair.
When we both finally stood up he introduced himself.
"Hi, name's Cliff. And you?" he said to me, extending his hand.
"My name's Ann. Nice to meet you." I took his hand with my free one and we didn't even shake. We just stood there like that, looking at one another for a few minutes before I finally pulled away blushing.
"Sorry, I have to get going. I have to give this stuff to my Dad . . . I'll see you around Cliff." I told him as I began walking away. He might have nodded but I couldn't see.
That was when the trouble started. From that day on, not only would Jack come to flirt with me but Cliff would too. And when one saw me flirting with the other (say they just happened to come at the same time) they'd be furious. And then I began to get a feeling that everywhere I went, somebody was following me.
But the feelings weren't nearly the worst part. One night-Spring 22nd, the day before the goddess festival-I got an eerie note on my bed.
It read this:
My angel Ann-
Tomorrow is the goddess festival. You will dance with me and not the other. If you don't, you may see some serious consequences. Oh, and cut the flirting with him as well-you know only I really love you. I will see you there tomorrow my fair angel.
Sincerely, The Stalker.
All the color drained from my face. There was somebody following me- stalking me! But who was it-Jack or Cliff?

A/N: Yes, I'm back with another story. I ditched my other "writing project" because it was really boring compared to writing HM fics. Also, this idea has been floating around in my head for about 2 months now and I wanted to get started on it. I already know most of the storyline, so I should be able to update pretty quickly. ALSO-I discontinued Life Goes On. My sincerest apologies to everyone that was in it. It just was too original and not HMish enough.
