I would like to apologize to anyone who may have already started reading this story. My former introduction chapter was written before I knew what the story would look like.

I intended to have certain sections in italics and indented a lot, but apparently, it did not work. One of these sections was also severely "killed," if I do say so myself. It looks as though I did not hit enter through the whole thing. I think I have fixed that, but I will not know for at least another 24 hours. Sorry if anybody has already review on either of these chapters because I am not sure if the reviews will stay or be deleted.

And now, most of my original introduction:

This is a story in which the author has only read the first book of the Chronicles of Chrestomanci. It is helpful to have previously read this document, but not necessary.

For those that have read the book, please take a few things into consideration:

1. This takes place about five or six years after the conclusion of Charmed Life

2. Something happened to Cat and Janet less than one year after the conclusion

3. I try to make my descriptions true to the book; therefore, some will sound familiar

4. You probably can guess what will be revealed in the end

5. This is not supposed to be totally original, so enjoy what you don't know, not what you do

I would like to apologize before hand for any misspellings or grammatical errors. I'm doing the best I can, but nobody's perfect.

Thank you all for reading my story, and PLEASE REVIEW. Even if you don't have a lot to say, it is my one connection to you, the reader. It also helps me to know that there is someone out there, reading my story.

Thanks again, and I hope you enjoy my story: ROSEPETAL

P.S. I'm fighting against the computer to put indents on my paragraphs. It is not working. If anybody knows how to get these indents, please let me know.
