A/N: Yeah...sorry about the rewrite everyone! BUT! Here is the new first book, as promise. Please enjoy and don't forget to review!

(-Line-Break-)

Listen, I never wanted my life to become this screwed up and complicated.

If you are reading this, then you are now screwed up like me. There's no turning back now. You are in for a world of trouble. I wrote these series of books that contain my adventures. Thanks to some of my special friends, I'm able to get the word out to people like us.

Of course, not only my kind will read this. If you are just some normal person, thinking this is some kind of awesome fanfic or story with cool OC's and amazing plot, I hate you already. Go ahead, read this. I envy you and loathe you with a burning passion.

But, I have to warn you: once you start reading this, it will not be an easy journey for you. You will soon learn the truth about everything. You will learn about how I got dragged into a world of magic, science, and wars. You will learn what reality really means. And, you will learn something that many people, even the world leaders, do not even know a thing about. You will learn what's really going on every single day.

Good luck, and try to keep your sanity. It's going to help you in the long run.

My name is Avril-Drew Claire Burgundy.

Until my summer vacation, I was a fourteen-year-old girl that used to live a normal life. I live in a small town called Hayward, California with my mom, dad, and little brother. I had two best friends, some school buddies, and a few enemies. Nothing interesting or exciting has ever happened to me, save for a few interesting events. I fell down a well, drowned, and then came back to life (I'll explain later), I scared a bully with a skeleton (don't ask; I'll explain later on), and my boyfriend died (do not ask). Other than that, I'm pretty boring.

At this point, your probably getting bored out of your minds and begging for me to get to the point. Fine, you twats, I'll get to the point.

All my problems started the Friday before summer break. I was at my school, Sierra Rivera High. I was sitting at my History calss, staring out the window to my left, spacing out. My best friend, Ally, sat in front of me, paying attention to the teacher. My other best friend, Alice, sat to my right, sleeping on the desk.

We met when we were seven, playing in Primrose Park. I found Ally sitting by herself and convinced her to climb the trees in the park. When she gave in and climbed the trees with me, we found Alice hanging from a tree branch, singing some Disney song. We talked, played, and had a blast. From then on, we kind of stuck together and became best friends forever. I was really glad they were my friends.

Alison Monica Σοφία was the intelligent, level-headed, geeky girl of the group. Σοφία (pronounced 'Sofía') means 'wisdom' in Greek. Ally could fluently speak Greek, tended to slip from time to time. She was a really pretty girl. She had chestnut-brown hair with natural amber highlights. It was always perfectly curled and went pass her shoulders. Her round, owlish eyes were pure brown and sparkled in the sunlight. She had a slim, curvy frame, fair skin, and round face. Ally always wore designer clothes and had the best fashion sense. Her family is rich and fancy. Despite this, Ally helped out and hung out with us "Outsiders", the people who didn't really get along with the "Populars" and "Cool Kids".

"Psst," I hissed, elbowing Alice. "Wake up."

"It's not tea time yet," Alice muttered. "Wake me up later."

Alice Madeline Kingfisher was the crazy girl of the group, the one who was really unpredictable. She had a slight British accent, and sometimes used British terms. Alice was pretty like Ally, too. Her honey-blonde hair was always straight and reached down to her mid-back. She was slim, with a lean frame. Her skin was peachy and her face was round. She had light blue eyes that were round and always had that happy, silly gleam in them. Alice's family wasn't very rich, but she wasn't middle class either. She had a naive, random, crazy, and bubbly personality. Alice spoke her mind and said any random thought that came to her.

I rolled my eyes, and looked away. There was a mirror next to my desk. We used it for self-evaluations, when we compare the past to now. I stared at myself.

I was a little tall with a slim, lithe body. My face was heart-shaped and my skin was creamy, snow-white. I had round eyes that looked black but were really rich, dark brown. My hair was dark brown and goes past the middle of my back, almost to the small of my back. I had long bangs that covered the right side of my face that I always had to tuck behind my ear.

Biting my lip, I looked away and stared down at my desk. I hated my reflection, I hated how I looked, and I hated my life. A few months ago, something happened. I lost someone really close to me, and I fell into a depression because of it. But, of course, no one knew. I kept it all in, and made sure no one found out. I know; I should tell someone and cope with it heathily. But, I couldn't for some reason. Concealing just felt like the natural and right thing to do.

Anyway, the bell finally rang and we all stormed out of the classroom. From the hallways, shouts and cheers echoed throughout the halls. Ally, Alice, and I quickly grabbed our backpacks and rushed out the door. The sky was a brilliant blue, and the sun shined brightly. White, fluffy clouds floated in the sky, with a light summer breeze blew by. Students either ran towards their cars or walked away from the school.

"So," Ally said, "what do you want to do?"

"How about a cartoon marathon at my house?" I offered.

"Randy Cunningham?" Alice asked with a hopeful expression.

"Is there any other option?" I asked with a smirk.

We laughed, and rushed towards my house.

/break\

My house was near Fairytale Woods, which was basically a large forest that looked like something out of a fairytale. As we walked up to my house, I smiled.

My house was a three-story, cabin-like building. The walls of the house were mahogany and the roof was pitch-black. There was a porch, with a small table and a swinging bench. The front yard had dark green grass, with a stone walkway. A red mailbox with the word "BURGUNDY" was next to the start of the walkway. We walked down the walkway, went up the steps, and approached the burgundy door.

I unlocked the door, and my friends ran inside. I snorted, and shut the door behind me. Ally and Alice were already in the living room, sitting on the old, red velvet couch. The TV was on, and Ally was flipping through the channels. I dropped my bag by the couch and sat next to Alice. Ally finally found the channel, and placed the remote on her lap. The Disney XD logo came on, and the show came on.

"I was chosen to protect my school from the forces of evil. I am the Ninja. I am Randy Cunningham!"

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja was my all-time, favorite cartoon. I mean, it's not perfect. The characters have flaws and some episodes weren't up to par. But, other than that, it was still a pretty damn awesome show. I stumbled upon it when I was watching Disney XD and saw the premiere. I got my friends hooked, and we have been fanjas ever since.

It was season two, and the show has gotten really good. I mean, the real Julian got trapped in the Land of Shadows and Evil Julian took his place? No way. Debbie Kang found out the Ninja's idenity and nearly got Randy killed? Damn. Robo-Ninja using a double-bladed Naginata like a boss? Holy fucking shit. This show was just fucking amazing.

But, we were interrupted when we heard a loud thump from outside. Ally let out a shriek, and jumped from her seat. Alice grabbed the remote and paused the TV. I nervously stood up, looking towards the kitchen. In the kitchen, there were sliding glass doors that lead to my backyard. And, standing in front of the doors was a dark figure. I couldn't describe it, but all I saw were white, soulless eyes with no pupils or irises. It had its large hand on the door, and staring right at us.

And then, just in a blink of an eye, it vanished. Alice screamed, causing me and Ally to jump up in surprise.

"Τι διάολο!" Ally yelled, angrily.

"Don't do that!" I hissed.

"You saw that too, right?" Alice asked, her voice shaky.

"No fucking derp," I barked. "Now come on! We're going to check it out."

"You're not serious," Ally said.

I gave her a look, and started walking away.

"You're serious," Ally sighed.

I slid open the glass doors. We walked out and headed towards a large willow tree in my backyard. There, under the tree, was a large rabbit hole. I looked at my friends, and nodded. Ally kneeled down, and examined the hole. Touching the tree roots around the hole, Ally hummed and stood up.

"I say this hole is about one to two feet wide," Ally hypothesized. "A rabbit hole this size is not natural, no rabbit can make a hole this big."

"Unless it's a mutant rabbit with amazing digging power," Alice said.

"Yeah…no," I said.

"Well," Ally continued, "whatever made it, we'll never know. What we do know is that this hole was made recently, I say about a week ago."

"Whatever Ms. Detective," I said, waving Ally off. "All I want to know is if that figure went down this thing."

I knelt down in front of the hole, and peered into it. At first glance, all I saw was dirt and tree roots. But, as I kept looking down, I saw nothing but darkness. I sucked in my breath, I kept looking in. Suddenly, I felt something grab my ankle and I was pulled in. I tried to break free from the force, but it kept pulling me in. I fell down on my ass, and started being pulled in. I looked over my shoulder, and cried out.

"Ally! Alice! HELP!"

My brunette and blonde friends whipped around, and their eyes went wide. Ally and Alice rushed over to me, and grabbed my arms. They tired to pull me away from the hole. But, of course, the mysterious force kept pulling me in, not daring to stop. My friends tried again and again to pull me away, but soon they were being pulled in too.

"Avril," said Ally, "we're going to fall in!"

"No we're not," I said, sternly. "We are not going to fall. We are not going to fall. We are not going to fa—AHHHHHHHH!"

We were soon pulled in, falling down the rabbit hole. We screamed, falling down into the darkness. Above us, the circle of light was getting smaller and smaller as we kept falling down, down, down. The air was frigid and pierced my skin like ice dagger. Alice and Ally hugged each other tightly. They were falling above me. I forced myself to face them. I saw the look in their eyes. They were scared and confused. But then, Ally gasped and pointed behind me.

"Avril!" Ally called out. "There's something behind you!"

I barely registered what Ally just had said. My eyes were suddenly getting heavy, and my body went slack. I didn't know why I was getting so sleepy at the moment, but I knew it wasn't the right time. But the sleepiness was winning, and my eyes were slowly close. My friends were screaming and freaking out, but I couldn't reassure them.

Soon, the weariness overwhelmed me and I was out like a light.

/break\

I woke up lying on my back. Ally and Alice were next to me, still holding onto each other. They sat on their butts, staring at something behind me. I stared at them, rasing a brow.

"Guys," I said, carefully. "What is it?"

Alice lifted her arm, and pointed behind me. I turned around, and saw door. The door looked nice. It was black as coal, with these cool-looking red markings. In the middle of the door was a golden symbol that looked like the number nine. It looked almost like it was Japanese-influenced. But then I looked around, and my heart sank. Around us was black nothingness, with different colored mists floating around.

"...Da fuq is this?" I asked, aloud.

The ground rumbled, and door opened. Red ribbons lashed out, and wrapped around my waist. Other ribbons grabbed Ally and Alice. We were pulled in, and soon went through the door. A voice echoed in my mind, saying only one thing.

"Brace yourself..."
