************Chapter one************

The Friday school bell of the Granite Bay High school echoed through the
halls signaling that class was over until January. It was silent for a moment until yelling along with cheering was heard as the front doors burst open. Teenagers ran down the steps chatting to their friends about their
plans for the break. The last the leave the forgotten building were two teenage girls. One quiet, with shoulder-length hazel-nut hair along with beautiful, deep, sea blue eyes. The other chatting loudly to her friend had short dirty blonde hair along with a few freckles here and there. What most attracting about her was her bright, green, curious eyes that always seemed
to be watching someone or something.

"So, whatcha gonna do over the break, Kouran?" the green eyed girl finally asked. "Well." the girl called Kouran replied, "I was thinking about checking out a book on Ancient China at the library and working on it over the break, what about you, Yume?" Yume gave her a strange look before answering

"You're way obsessed with that place, and I have no clue what I'll do, probably nothing." It was Kouran's turn to give her friend a look and dully replied "Lets all pray that you don't loose too much memory." The girls laughed before heading over to the Granite Bay Library, just two blocks away. The walk there was quiet, as silent as a night in the forest. The two girls were lost in their own thoughts now.

As soon as the enormous library came in sight, Kouran immediately snapped back to reality. She watched her friend quietly as they reached the tall, stony steps. As they walked up reaching the front, glass doors, Kouran waved her hand in front of her dazed friend's face trying to snap her back to reality. "Earth to Yume, Earth to Yume?" Kouran whispered to her friend in a small, alien-like voice. Moments later, Yume finally broke out of her dreamy trance, along with giving her friend an annoyed look. Kouran giggled. "We've reached the library, comrade" Kouran ordered in an orderly voice, pointing at the front doors. Her friend rolled her eyes and replied "Whatever." The girls entered the building as quietly as their feet could take them. The glass, cold doors closed giving the girls a rush of peace. It felt like another world here. No loud noises. No screaming or shouting, just the comforting silence and the famillar scent of the new and old books.

As they walked past the tall shelves covered with big, small, colorful books, their tennis shoes echoed against the wood of the hard, cold floor. Minutes passed as they soon reached their destination. The golden "History" sign hung above their heads as they entered the ale, searching for books on Ancient China.

Yume sighed. 'It's been over an hour!' Then something caught her eye. She grinned mischiefly. "Kouran?" Yume asked innocently.

Kouran stopped searching, then gave her friend a suspicious look. 'Uh-Oh' "What's it this time, Yume?" Kouran asked her, raising her eyebrow. Yume pointed at the door marked "Restricted Section."

"Lets explore!" Yume told her friend excitingly. Before Louran sould disagree, Yume was already dragging her to the room and about to turn the knob. Kouran pouted, but knew she was defeated. She sighed and entered the room after her friend.

"Wow!" exclaimed Kouran as she ran over touching and examining each book. "I wonder why it was marked restricted" Yume asked herself. Along the top shelf, a dusty, red book caught Kouran's eye. She then felt an urge to reach out and tough it, opening it and reading what it held. 'It looks like it's glowing.' She hesitated, but picked it up and read the title. "The Universe of the Four Gods" she whispered. "Yume, come over here!" Kouran quietly yelled to her friend who was looking at some books behind her.

"What?" was the reply before she also went over to her friend. Kouran held up the book, the sunlight from the window reflecting on the old, dusty, red book. Yume gave it a long, hard look, before smiling, and saying "Well, read it, Kouran!" Nervously, Kouran touched the cover, carefully lifting it, to the first page and read. "This is a story of two girls who discover friendship and love. The story itself is a spell. The one who reads it through will experience the girls' lives and have powers granted to them. Because...the story begins and becomes real. The moment the first page is turned." The girls looked up and their eyes met. "Should we try it?" Kouran asked her friend nervously. "I guess so, I mean, what could happen?" was her reply. After a few moments, Kouran's trembling hand touched the edge of the soft surface...and turned.

been over an hour!'r heads as they entered the ale, searching for books on Ancient China. oes echoed againts A red light flashed from the book as the girls felt themselves being stretched and somehow, pushed into the pages of the book! They screamed, but it was too late, and they were unheard.
