Prologue

Dear Diary

Since you're new, I guess I should start at the beginning.

My sister and I have a somewhat sheltered life. Ever since we were young we've been homeschooled and the only kids we really got close to were from church. Then we moved and that ended that. My sister, three years younger then me at 13, is and was great at making new friends but I, at 16 became a loner. I have one friend and that is fine with me. We moved from Akron, Ohio to Cincinnati, Ohio and life was pretty good. Living together with each other our whole lives helped Laurel and I to really bond. Matter of fact, we made up our own language and learned Sign language. It came in handy when the rents got nosy. Our mother, Mary and our dad, Steven, love us deeply. Though they didn't say it much, we know they do. Though things changed and got a little tense when they both took jobs in the army, they still found time to be with us.

My sister and I both were curious about our parent's jobs but for some reason it never came up and when it did they changed the subject. Soon we stopped asking and just chalked it up to be something they'll tell us later. It must have been something important because they started being paranoid for our safety and sent us to self defense classes and more. Laurel was great at karate, SD and hung-gar while I was better at kung fu, SD and fencing. We loved our new skills, though I'd rather learn the guitar, but we don't bite the hand that feeds us.

Time moved on and soon I was the daughter of army parents for three years. I still had only one friend but the two of us were really close. Matter of fact, she's the only one who knows I hate that my parents are in the army. I keep thinking I'll get a call that tells me my parents are dead or something. She helps me the not think of it and I don't know what I'd do without her. Her name is Rose Dawn.

Anyway, I've just turned 16! That's great if I wanted to drive a car. I don't really, but my parents gave me a car and I have to admit, it's beautiful. It was a Chevy Camaro painted purple and with silver racing strips. I have my license but I doubt I'd be driving much. Well, that's pretty much my life. Oh, except for one more thing; over the last few months, Laurel and I noticed our parents acting…strange. We'd catch them looking at us like they thought we were going to disappear. Once they almost cried! It freaked my sister and me out so much we started to ask if something was wrong in a panic. We even asked if they were sick, like with Cancer or something. Or us! But they said no and, once again, changed the subject. I'm starting to think something strange is going on and somehow is going to affect my and my sisters' lives. And soon.

All in all, something weird is happening in my family. I just hope it's not bad.

With love, from me (I have got to stop listening to Storynory)
