Chapter 1-
"Riiiiiiiiing!" my head snapped up as I heard the bell sound indicating that school was over. I stretched, grabbed my stuff then went to my
locker.
"Hey Sheran, ya wanna come over to my house and do homework together? Flai and Yuri are coming too," said kat who had a locker right next to
mine.
"Nah, I'm fine," I said.
"Okay, but it's your loss," Kat said as she put on her backpack and walked away. I quickly packed up my stuff and headed out, hoping to catch
a glimpse of the weird boy and girl again. I broke into a run as soon as I got out the doors, passing by cars, kids, and parents in a blur until I
reached Goliath St. Slowing down, I hid behind a bush and held still until the boy and girl came. As usual, I watched in fascination as the two
walked away, the girls dark black hair flowing behind her and the boys startling sky blue eyes staring strait ahead with his spiky blond hair
ruffling from the wind. When they walked, it was almost like they were gliding and they hardly seemed to make a sound. After they passed, I
leaned back and smiled. It had almost been a month since I had started spying on them. Watching them always seemed to help me relax after
a long, hard day at school. Standing up, I stretched my legs then started heading towards my house. Mom would start panicking if I came
home any later than I already was. As I headed home, I pictured the two again. For some reason something felt a little different than usual
when they walked past me, but I soon dismissed the thought when I ran into a black cat.
"hey little kitty, are you lost? here - let me see your collar. Hmmmm it says here that you live in a place called 5th division, squad 6, team 1167-
messenger. That's odd. I don't think anybody writes their address like that, in fact, I don't think a place like that even exists." I frowned. was
this some sort of a prank?
"Ding, dong, deng, dong, ding dong, deng, dong!" I jerked my head up. It was already 4 P.M. I had to get home. Quick.
"Sorry little fella. Looks like you'll have to find your own way home. I bet your owners are worried. See ya!" the cat bobbed it's head as if it
understood me and with that I quickly went home as fast as I could.
"Where have you been?! I was about to call the police!" Mom yelled as soon as I walked in through the front doors. "Do you know what time it
is young lady?" she seemed really mad.
"4:28," I reply
"What time does your school end?"
"2:37."
"Then what have you been doing all this time?" I don't answer. "Well?" asked Mom impatiently
"Well... I've um been... I've been at school helping my teacher clean up." I lied.
"Really? then hwy didn't you call me to tell me so?" she asked.
"I was um... I...I forgot to."
"Alright then. Just remember to call me if you do anything like that again," she said sighing. Free from my mom, I huridlly went up to my room
and googled '5th division, squad 6, team 1167-messenger' this is what came up-

I turned my computer off. whatever was written on the cat's collar was obviously something I couldn't read. Setting aside the questions that
kept popping up inside my head about the weird sentence on the cat's collar, I did my homework. Or at least I tried to.
