(Prologue)

Beginning Rumors

Books fall onto the floor of a middle school library as five boys peer into the bookselves. Four of the boys looked to be foreignors to the land, but one looked like he belonged to it. One of the boys had blonde hair, the boy to the left of him had dirty blonde, the one the right of him had a grey-ish blue hair, across from him was a boy with black hair, and the boy behind him brown hair.

(The boy with the blonde hair.)

Jack: Hey guys! We probably shouldn't make a mess in here or else the librarian will kick us out again.

Jack begin pick up the books that fell to the ground.

(The boy with the grey-ish blue hair.)

Ryan: Sorry.

Ryan began to pick up the books with Jack.

(The boy with the brown hair.)

Shinjitsu: Look guys we'll pick up the mess later. Right now, we just need to find this book.

(The boy with the dirty blonde hair.)

Ren: What's so important about this book anyways?

Ren began to help the others pick up the books on the floor.

(The boy with the black hair.)

Robert: You mean other than the fact that we decided to do it for a group book report?

Ren: Well, yeah. I mean we could've did it about anything, but Shinjitsu, just had to make it about this strange book based on a rumor.

Shinjitsu turned to Ren.

Shinjitsu: Look it maybe called a rumor, but due to some of the stories I've heard the rumor might be real.

Ryan: So, we're looking for a book based on a rumor, that could be dangerously true?

Jack: Yeah, but if the rumor is true. Maybe.. Just maybe, there is something in this book that could stop it.

Ryan: But, on a way wouldn't that destroy someone's happiness?

Shinjitsu: Who would be happy if the rumor was true?

Robert: No, Shinjitsu. Let him keep thinking that why. I kinda like the idea of robbing happiness from the crazy people, who use this rumor.

Ren looked toward Robert.

Ren: Jesus Christ, Robert.

Shinjitsu reached his hand out to the last book on the self.

Shinjitsu: Calm down, Ren. We all knew Robert has been this way since we met him.

Ren: Yeah, but if I would've known he was liting frog on fire and throwing them off the roof of the elementary school, I would have just let you and Ryan talk to him.

Ryan: Yeah, however, it was you who urged us to talk to him in the first place.

Jack looks at Robert.

Jack: That reminds me. Robert, can I have my sister's bra back? She is beginning to question everyone about it.

Ren: Wait, Robert. Why do you have May's bra?

Robert: I was using it to sling cats into my neighbors open windows.

Ren: Oh god. I am surprised, if this rumor did exsist it is really lacking on its job for missing to drag your soul to hell.

Robert: That's because people don't know who is causing such mischief.

Shinjitsu: Damnit, the book is not here either.

Ryan: Ooooo… Shinjitsu said a swear.

Robert turns to Ryan.

Robert: Ryan, your mother swears a lot when your father is giving it to her.

Ryan: Come on, Robert. I told you to stop staring into my parents' bedroom window.

Robert: Then, your parents should buy some curtains and stop giving the entire street a show.

Robert places his left hand on Ryan's left shoulder.

Robert: But, seriously. Tell your dad to stop going ovet the woman's version of a gentleman's club and go down to the local pharamacy to ask for viagre for that slug of a penis.

Ryan: I already told him that Robert. He says tell your friend to stay out of my business.

Robert: Did you give him my fake name?

Ryan: Yes, I said Lun Dinger.

Just as Ryan got done saying his sentence, the librarian walked over to them.

Ms. Mono: Did you boys find the book you were-

Before she could finish sentence she saw the books scattered everywhere. The boys turned their attension towards her.

Ren: I know what it looks like, but we'll clean it up.

Shinjitsu sneak around a bookself without anyone noticing and jumped out the open window of the library. Robert got behind the librarian as she begin to talk.

Ms. Mono: Why didn't you boys just skim the sides of the books?

Robert sneak out the front door of the librarian without being noticed. Ren began to pick up the books with Ryan and Jack.

Ryan: Sorry, about the mess.

Ms. Mono: It's okay. I just you boys would just tell me what book you're looking for.

Jack put ten books on bookselves. Jack looked at Ms. Mono.

Jack: Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Mono, but where is the restroom?

Ms. Mono pointed toward the enterance.

Ms. Mono: It is near the enterance, by my desk.

Jack: Thank you.

Jack started heading toward the restroom, however when no one was looking he walked out the front door. Ryan had put about twenty books back, before he sneak out the same window that Shinjitsu sneak out of. Ren was the only one still putting the books back on the self with Ms. Mono. Though, Ren saw a good time to ditch the mess of books to leave Ms. Mono to clean up by herself, he choose not to.

Ms. Mono and Ren got done picking up the books.

Ms. Mono: You're a good kid, Ren.

Ren looked up towards Ms. Mono.

Ren: What makes you say that?

Ms. Mono looked back at Ren and gave him a warm smile.

Ms. Mono: It is because you're the only one, who could stay and clean up a mess you didn't even make.

Ren looked down and blushed as he made a slight grin.

Ren: Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Mono.

The setting to the boys, who left at playground, nine blocks from the library.

Jack: Ryan, I think your brother might be slow on the memo.

Ryan: Oh no, did we miss another group meeting?

Jack: Oh man, Ryan. You really do have a thick head.

Ryan: Thank you. Mom says that it is because I have a big brain.

Robert looks at Ryan as he smacks his own head.

Shinjitsu: For the love of god, don't thank him, Ryan.

A mintues pass as they wait for Ren.

Ren walks out of the library and walks one block towards the playground, before seeing Jack's sister, May, she was crying as she yells at some guy from her grade. Ren saw the hatred in her eyes towards the guy as a girl hangs on the side of his arm. Ren hid as May stormed passed him. Ren came out from hiding and ran eight blocks towards into the playground.

When he got there he was out of breath. The boys saw Ren near the enterance panting from running all the way there. Ren caught his breath and walked over to them.

Jack: What happen to you? It looks like you ran a marathan to get here.

Robert: Yeah, or like my grandmother's dog when I tie his leash to a tred mill and put it on high as I watch his little legs slowly go out on him.

Ryan: Is that why she is always at the vet?

Robert: No, she always goes there because I put a tape worm up her cat's ass.

Shinjitsu: What the fuck, Robert?

Robert: If she didn't want her pets to get hurt she should stop leaving me in charge of watching them.

Ren: Robert, you scare me.

Robert: You should be scared, I maybe the anti-christ.

Ryan: That is enough funny jokes, Robert.

Robert: This is why no one understands me.

Ren: Uh… Anyway, Jack, I saw Jojo getting yelled at by May with Suki haning from his arm.

Jack: Well, this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Robert: I say, anyone, who goes out with a guy name Jojo should find themselves in this common predictiment.

Ryan: Do you think she'll do the rumor? And get sent to hell afterwards.

Robert: Ryan, in my past life you were my wife, who I beat to death with a shovel and the brain damage carried over to this life.

Jack: I hope she doesn't try the rumor, because then I would have the parents' eyes on me.

Shinjitsu looks at Jack.

Shinjitsu: If she does decide to do the rumor record it in anyway you can to help us with this book report.

Robert: I wouldn't, because it would be bad if someone got that piece of evidence and turn it in to the cops.

Jack: Yeah, Robert is right.

Robert: That's why I try kill all my witnesses or wipe their memory. That is why my mother is dead, becuase she witness my birth.

Ryan looked at his watch as it read 5:15pm.

Ryan: Woah, look at the time. Ren, we better get back before mom and dad get worried.

Ren looks at his older brothers watch.

Ren: Oh shit. We better hurry before we get the cops called looking for our wherabouts again.

Robert: I remember when my parents called the cops, but when they got there it was too late.

Ren and Ryan started to head out of the playground.

Ren & Ryan: Bye!

Shinjitsu: I better get home too, however, Jack remember we need evidence of this rumor.

Jack shook his head yes, as Shinjitsu started heading out.

Jack: You got it, Shinjitsu.

Jack turned around to see Robert still there.

Jack: Um… Well, I guess I'll start heading home now.

Robert: I guess your right. I need to head back to the cemetery and sleep for tomorrow with mother.

Jack: Your life is sad, Robert.

Robert: And your life has an opprotuntity in it. Even, if the rumor isn't you could kill himself and hide the body as you said the rumor did it. Just call if you need help getting rid of the body.

Jack: Well, see you later.

Jack started heading home. Robert waved by to him as head started to head toward the cemetery.

Ren and Ryan's path home.

Ren and Ryan walk down toward their house on the sidewalk. Their house is barely rarely has other houses around it except three or four as one of them is where Robert and Robert's grandmother lives. They always walk into a loving home with caring parents, who worry about them.

Jack's path home.

Jack takes the public bus home to a home beside a lake. His home life is a little rougher than Ren and Ryan's home life. His parents always fight about every little thing as they treat his older sister is the world and mostly forget about or ignore him. It been that way for him for so long that he doesn't even notice it anymore.

Shinjitsu's path home.

Shinjitsu walks across a fourway intersection. The sky begun to look cloudy today. On the otherside he sees a girl he does not recongize. She had long black hair, red eyes, and she was wearing a black school girl uniform. A bell rang through his head as he stared at her as they walked past each other. He found her to be odd and out of place. He looked forward and continoued on his path. It lead him up a hill to a bunch of stone steps that lead upward. He heads up the path to a temple that his dad takes care of ever since the death of his mother.

Robert's path to his home?

Robert walks along way to a country road. As night dawns the clouds fully cover the sky as thunder cracks. He makes his way past some graves to one far away in a field by a tree. He gets to a headstone with a name on it that says, 'Lauren Grace Moonheart.' Before laying down beside the headstone, he tells his mother what all he did today. He spares no detail. As the rain begins to pour, Robert just lays there holding his mother's headstone.

Robert: Goodnight, mother.

The rain soaks him as he falls asleep next to his mother's headstone.

The Girl, Who Got Her Way

That night, at Jack's place, his sister accessed the 'Hell Link.' Ai appeared behind May. As May's computer screen went black she could see Ai behind her. May jumped out of the chair to face Ai.

May: H-Hell Girl?
