Chapter 1

I'm Back and I'm Staying

"To be back here is like a nightmare and a dream put together. In my home land nobody knows me but one person and I'm sure he has already forgotten about me. We've been friends since we were babies; our mothers met each other during a yoga class during their pregnancy terms. I never knew my real father but my mother told me that he loved us very much, even when she remarried, she would still tell me. For some reason I never believed her especially around the time we moved away, after…my best friend lost his mother…I don't think I'll ever forget that day. You ask who am I…I used to be Ariel Stambaugh…but now…I don't know who I am anymore."

The girl now identified as Ariel Stambaugh has been living in America for about 10 years now but when she was younger she would visit her friend in Japan. The country where she was born and raised. She has kept in contact with her friend that she has not visited in 10 years. They would always send pictures of each other over the years and they would also send pictures of their friends and family. They talked about what was happening to them and how things were going on the other side of the world. They really didn't care if they were so far apart because they knew that these letters would keep them together forever.

Over the years the two friends have grown into lovely teens and both of them had started to develop feelings for one other but they kept that to themselves. Until the young man asked her if she would want to be his girlfriend and she said…YES. They have been boyfriend and girlfriend for about 3 years now ever since they were 14 they have been together and they wait the day when one of them can visit the other. Right now they are both 17 but what the boy doesn't know is that the girl is coming to him and is not leaving his side no matter what. Both have secrets that they both wish to tell to the other but that is not stopping her from staying away from her love. But in the end they will tell each other because the girl is part of an ancient prophecy and he is the only one who can save her.

Who is this friend you ask well…you'll just have to wait and find out.
