Here's the first promised chapter. Be nice and review and probably tomorrow you'll have the rest.

Practically... you did make it. I got 1! more review than the last time, which is...

anyway, forget it. Practically you passed.

Theoretically, I would prefer not to talk about it.

Thanks for the reviews.

I swear I would upload the rest today, but I have to study for history and English(as a foreign language, which is not that tragic) AND! Physic exams, so enjoy this one. In the morning be sure it will be there, chapter 13. Good luck, try not to pee your pants.

Sabrina hummed softly to herself while entering the store. The owner, a big, heavyset guy, glanced at her suspicious but didn't say anything as he saw Kelly. He smiled as they disappeared among the corridors.

Kelly laughed as Sabrina pretended to dance tango with a huge marshmallows bag.

''Marshmallows!'' she yelled. ''We meet again!''

''You're nuts.''

''No! I want marshmallows!''

She took a packet and left it next to the cash register.

''This.'' she said smiling.

He announced how much it cost and opened his palm obviously bored of his life.

Sabrina searched her pockets and laid the twenty dollar bill on his hand.

He glanced it with curiosity and flipped it on the other side. He traced his finger to the handwriting on the backside.

''That's mine!'' he growled.

Sabrina blinked. ''I'm sorry?''

''I said that's mine! Someone took it this morning! You little thief!'' he yelled and

backhanded her across the mouth.

Sabrina yelped and took a step backward. Kelly put an arm around her shoulders.

''Hey, mister-''

They both screamed as he took a large broom and started chasing them. They got out of the store and started to run. Lucky for them after the first minutes he was panting heavily. He stopped wheezing and pointed a finger at them.

''Little shoplifters!'' he yelled and stopped to breath.

Sabrina pulled Kelly and they kept running around many corners when it was their turn to stop to catch their breath. Kelly put her hands on her knees breathed heavily.

''And that's Murphy's law.'' she chocked.

''You tell me...'' Sabrina muttered wiping her bloody lips.

''I can't believe he hit you! It was just a small misunderstanding! We could have sat and explained everything!''

''Welcome to my world.''

''Come on... let's go find a cab.''

Sabrina sighed. ''And now I have no money. Again.''

''No comment.''

They both laughed restrained and hurried into a cab. When they finally found themselves in the apartment they were exhausted.

Kelly locked the door and sat on the couch.

''What a day.''

''You tell me.'' Sabrina said throwing her crutches away.

''Go get some sleep will ya?''

''Nah. I'll go take a shower and then read a book, if there's any. You need sleep.''

''I don't.''

''Yes you do.''

''No I-''


Kris rubbed her eyes tired. It was past eleven. She opened the door and got out of her room, careful not to wake Jill, or her mother. She went downstairs, crossed the hall, and got out. She grabbed her handbag and took some deep breaths before sneaking out in the street. She got in a taxi and left.


Sabrina curled into her warm blanket and smiled as she turned the page. Who knew medieval poetry could be that fun. It seemed that every poem was about the moon and animals. Well, except those that were... eh... for more mature subjects.

'To wake delight once more
That's been too long asleep,
And worth that's exiled deep
To gather and restore:
These thoughts I've laboured for...

Dir Bosley or Charlie read these books? In her mind came a poem she heard when she was little, by Edgar Allan Poe.

By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of Space—out of Time...

In her head there was a voice reading it. A beautiful firm woman's voice she remembered well. She smiled again and mentally recited closing her eyes, letting herself get carried away, far far away.

Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
With forms that no man can discover
For the dews that drip all over;
Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire,
Surging, unto skies of fire...

A long scream interrupted her thoughts. She threw the book on the floor and jolted into the room Kelly was sleeping. It was obvious the scream was hers. She flicked the lights on.

Kelly buried her face in her palms and started to cry. Sabrina remained still, surprised.

''Kell? You alright kiddo?'' she asked softly.

''So...rry...'' came the faint reply between her sobs.

Sabrina debated on what to do and sat next to her on the bed putting an arm on her back. Kelly sobbed quietly burying her face on Sabrina's shoulder as she embraced her tightly, trying to calm her panicked mind.

She patted her back. ''It's alright kiddo. It's alright. Hush...''


Kris took a deep breath as she entered the warehouse. It was empty. She turned on the lights knowing very well were the switch was, as she had come many times there. She glanced at the boxes they were paid to transfer. She eyed her surroundings and deciding no one was there she crouched, took out a pocket knife and started to open one of them. She really wanted to see what was in there.


Sabrina looked at Kelly's sleeping figure. It took her a lot of time to calm her down a little. She got up and paced to the door, after she had pulled the covers up to her chest. She turned to go but Kelly's hand grabbed her wrist. They eyed each other.

''Er...'' said Kelly faintly.

Sabrina understood she wanted her to stay, but had trouble saying so.

'' I found a small lamp inside, and if you don't mind I'll come over here and read my book in the chair, alright?''

''Uh huh...''

She smiled and returned with the lamp and her book. Kelly put on a forced smile as she tripped over the cable and almost fell, cursing everything.

She plugged it and sat in the chair flipping through the pages. Kelly closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.


Kris wasn't that surprised when she found what the content was. She was more surprised when a heavy hand fell on her shoulders. Ann. She turned around abruptly.

''What are you doing little snot?'' she demanded.

''I...'' Kris started to say, but stopped, after receiving a slap on the face that made her lose her balance and fall on her back.

More people were standing behind Ann.


Sabrina turned the page again. Kelly yawned and rubbed her eyes.

''You still here?''

''Were would I go?''

''Thanks...''

''Go back to sleep, it's late.''

''What time is it?''

'' 'bout 'leven.''

''Can't.''

''Wanna talk about it?''

''It's just... that the door was shut and I went nuts... I freaked out. I know it sounds-''

''It doesn't. You thought you were trapped huh?''

''Yeah...''

''Sorry, I closed the door. I thought I might wake you up.''

''No, I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me...''

Sabrina smiled and closed her book. She got up and sat next to her.

''It's alright. I used to have crazy dreams every single night.''

''Yeah, but when you were eight! I'm almost eighteen and it happens to me all the time. Something's just not right with me!''

''Look, I know it sounds like that but it's normal. I can say you've been through a lot ,so no worries.''

''Thanks.''

She sighed relieved that Sabrina didn't say anything to embarrass her.

''How did you cope?'' Kelly asked.

''Huh?''

''When your parents died. How did you manage?''

Sabrina, being caught completely off guard gave her a darker look than she intended.

''I didn't.''

''What do you mean?''

''At first I didn't want anything. Just to stay on my own and why not, maybe die. It sucked.''

''Did you hear their voices?''

''No. Did you?''

''I never met them. But sometimes yeah... I hear some voices. But it isn't possible to be theirs, is it?''

Sabrina frowned. ''Why not. I hope I hadn't met mine. It would be easier. I don't want to hear them.''

''Uh huh...''

''Sometimes... I hear them scream.'' she said flatly and then closed to herself again.

''Does it scare you?''

''No. What makes me feel sick wasn't the screams.''

''Then what?''

''The silence that followed.''
