First off, thanks to Cecil Hoshina, UnderSeaFlower, Black-x-kimono-x-otaku, .x, Little sisterz Atsuko n Mizuki, Foxgrl18, brazzette, and tsukimoon101 for reviewing this fic.

Lol I couldn't decide on whether I should watch Bleach ( which I'm attempting to catch up on ), or write this…I flipped a coin. And it's obvious about the outcome. XD

So skipping long and boring A/Ns, and getting onto this chapter -sigh- this is going to be a long one. Descriptive and rather boring.

Oh, and if you see the name Lily, anywhere along in here, I am sorry about that and please alert me about it, so I can go back and fix it. XD That's the main character's name in my book.

BTW, THIS IS A FILLER CHAPTER! It's fun for me to write though, because I like designing stuff ^^

Chapter 2

Amu waited for something to pounce on here, but nothing happened. The roar still continued, louder now that she was in the clearing. Amu mustered up all the courage she had and opened her eyes. Her immediate reaction was a gasp.

She was looked at a gorgeous waterfall, which was a little ways away from her.

So that's what was making the noise…guess I got scared for nothing.

Amu watched the water at the top fall down into the pool below. The pool ran along into a creek that went on as far east as the eye could see. Along the edge were flowers of many different colors and variety. The majority of them, however, were different coloured roses. All the flowers were well taken care of.

A white stone bridge connected the patches of land on either side of the creek. On the other side was an old house. It was a medium Victorian style house. It appeared to be made of black stone for the walls and grey shingles for the roof. There was a wooden porch with a table and chairs on it. They looked fairly new compared to the rest of the house, which looked like some freaky haunted house. To add to it, the walls were covered with roses vines and ivy vines. With the moon shining down upon the clearing, the sight was magnificent.

Amu didn't move for some time, just staring at her surroundings. What captured her attention the most was the house. Although it looked a little terrifying, she just couldn't keep her eyes off it. Then she remembered her camera. She turned off the flashlight-since it was no longer needed due to the moon- and turned on her camera. She started taking pictures of everything she could. The waterfall, the flowers, the creek, and as many pictures of the house as she could.

Before she knew it she was taking a picture of the bridge then walking across it. She kept snapping photos here and there, most of them of the house. When she decided she had enough pictures she shut off the camera and leaned against the bridge, staring at the house which she was now closer to.

No one could live out here. It's impossible. It's illegal to be out here.

Amu started trying to figure out how this magnificent house was in the middle of the forest. The flowers looked too well taken care of to be wild, and the grass had been watered and mowed. Amu gazed at the windows, which looked clean and free of dust, but she couldn't see inside from where she was.

There was a voice inside her head, telling her to move closer to the house. Her legs started moving without her really acknowledging it until she made it up on the porch. Perhaps if I just take a quick look in the window…then I'll go right back home!

To her dismay, the curtains were black our curtains, so no light came in or out of them. She bit her lip. Amu wasn't one for scary things, and she was certainly quite terrified right now, but that little voice in her head kept nagging at her to go in through the front door. It was practically saying that she would find something of interest there.

Okay…I don't think anyone would live out here anyway…even though it appears that someone does…I'm going to try the door and see if it's open!

The door was polished oak, with a brass knocker. She breathed in tried the handle. Locked. The little daring voice in her head and her body seemed to be working. She walked down the front porch and walked around to the back of the house in hopes for an unlocked back door.

Flowers were everywhere in the back again, but there was also a vegetable garden and a mini orchard. Amu went to go investigate the garden, forgetting about going into the house completely. In the garden were different colored bell peppers, potatoes, white, red and green onions, tomatoes-which are a fruit, but there was still some there-, beets, carrots, broccoli, celery and some corn. There was also a small herb garden, but Amu couldn't tell what was what. She moved over to the fruit trees next. There were peach trees, apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, orange trees, lemon trees, lime trees, grapefruit trees and plum trees. There were also a few grape vines of different types of grapes. Beside the orchard was a garden of fruit. There were strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, rhubarb, cranberries, blackberries, and different types of melons.

Well this definitely means someone lives here…

What really caught Amu's attention was the simple fact that, even though it was early fall, everything was ripe and ready to be picked. What the…how does THAT work?

That little voice in her mind, her freaked out side, was telling her to run. Sadly, the louder voice was telling her to get into that house. She turned away from garden and walked over to the back door. It was unlocked. Quietly she stepped inside and shut the door behind her. It was pitch black in whatever room she was in, so she felt around for a light switch.

The lights came on quickly, hurting her eyes. Once they adjusted she looked around to see that she was in a kitchen. This wasn't just some kitchen in an old abandoned house either. This kitchen was large and had all the latest appliances. Everything was clean and shiny. The counters were made of black marble and most of the appliances were either black or white. The walls were painted a silvery white color, the floor was black and white tile and the cupboards were all a dark wood.

Amu turned the camera back on and snapped a few pictures. There were two doors at the other end of the room. She chose to go into the one on the right. This room was pitch black as well. She found the light switch and flicked it. She was in a dinning room now. The table was dark brown, the chairs were dark brown to match with black velvet cushions and there was a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The walls were a beige colour. Amu snapped the picture and then flicked off the lights and returned to the kitchen.

She knew she really shouldn't be doing this, since this was technically breaking and entering, but she just couldn't seem to get herself to leave. She glanced over at the other door and decided that she'd have a look through the house, and if there were any real big shows of human life, she'd bolt. Amu quickly shut off the lights of the kitchen and flicked on her flashlight. Easier not to be noticed if there IS someone here.

She went through the other door and ended up in a long hallway. The walls were a dark blue and the floor was a dark wood with a long red rug all the way through. Something creaked, causing Amu to jump up in fright. When her heart beat calmed down enough, she turned to the door closest to her left. Inside was a small bathroom. It had a toilet, sink and a claw footed bathtub. A quick picture and then she was out of there. She walked a little further down and found another door. Inside was a broom cupboard. She didn't bother taking a picture and closed it. Across from it was a linen cupboard, which she also didn't take a picture of. She went to the very last door on the right side, which was before she hit the front door and the stairs.

She opened the door and stepped in. The beam of her flashlight showed a very modern living room. There was a fireplace, a large flat-screen TV on a wooden stand, two bookshelves filled with books in a corner, a large cupboard, black leather couches with white throw pillows on them. The carpet was white and the walls were black. She was happy this camera took really good pictures in very low light because she was able to take great pictures with just the light of her flashlight. She snapped a few pictures then curiosity got the better of her and she opened the cupboards. She prayed that if someone did live here-and it was quite obvious that someone did-, that this was a summer cabin or they were away.

In the cupboard by the T.V she found a whole bunch of VHS tapes and DVDs. Since it was a fairly large cupboard, it took up quite a bit of room. At the opposite end of the room was a glass cupboard that she didn't notice before. Inside were some fancy plates and cups, as well as a few ornaments. She took a picture of that quickly then looked at the TV stand. Inside were a few gaming systems and games for each system.

Okay…so whoever lives here, or summers here, or whatever, is either a criminal or really rich.

She shuttered at the thought of the owner being a criminal but shook it off. She had to do this, just to PROVE she could and she wasn't a total fraidy cat. She closed all the cupboards then left the room, making sure the door was closed behind her.

Maybe I should just get out of here…

She was looking up the stairs, only seeing darkness because her flashlight wasn't shining in that direction. She gulped then made her way up the stairs, which were stone with a red carpet covering them. When she made it to the top of the stairs she found more rooms. She opened the first door to her left and found a bedroom. Inside was a four poster queen-sized canopy bed. The canopy was red velvet, the sheets were white and black, as were the pillows. There was a white and black dresser in the corner and two dark wooden night tables on either side of the bed. The headboard was wood, but it was painted black. At the end of the bed was a leather bench. The room was a light grey colour with a white shag carpet.

Amu stepped inside the room and snapped a few pictures. There was a small closet on the same wall as the door, which she snapped a picture off, but not the inside. She left this room quickly and went to the next door on the same side. This was a large bathroom. This bathroom had a toilet, a sink, a large bathtub, a shower. There were towels on the rack and a medicine cupboard above the sink. She took a picture and closed the door.

The next room she went to was another bed room. It seemed to be the master bedroom. This room was grey like the other one, with a similar white shag carpet. The bed, however, was a bit different. Yes it was a four poster canopy bed, but this one was a king sized bed, the curtains were black velvet, the blankets and pillows were crimson, two black and red night tables on either side of the bed, and a black dresser under a heavily curtained window. There was a white door in this room. She opened it to find a bathroom. This was a bit smaller then the one she had just found, but it had been furnished almost the same, minus the bathtub. She stepped out of the bathroom attachment and closed the door. Her feet were getting tired so she sat down on the leather bench-exactly the same as the one in the other bedroom. There was another difference to this room as well. A large bird cage. It was the biggest bird cage Amu had ever seen in her entire life. As far as she could see, nothing was in it. But she snapped a picture anyway.

She figured it was extremely late and she would have to leave soon. Amu got up and made her way out of the room. She found another set of stairs tucked away at the end. She climbed them quietly and entered into a computer room/attic. Half the room was filled with computer stuff and the other half was an attic full of junk. Amu took a few pictures then shut off the camera.

" Guess that's it then…must be a summer home or the owner is away."

She descended both sets of stairs and went to the front door. She paused before turning the lock. I guess it'd look suspicious if the front door was unlocked and the owner knew it was locked.

She nodded and headed back to the kitchen. She walked through the back door and then jogged away. Now her feet were wanting to take her as far away from the house as possible. She entered the dark forest without a single hesitation. Shockingly enough, she only remembered there was a waterfall until she was halfway to the rock. She hadn't heard the roar of the falls inside the house. Her feet were still tired, and with her jogging, it wasn't helping. She would be nearing the rock she had been sitting on before soon.

I'll just stop there for a quick-

Her thoughts were cut off by a black figure standing on the path at least 5 meters away from her. She stopped automatically and stared at the figure. Even though it was a little ways away, she could still tell that the person was definitely female. Amu cautiously moved towards the lady. She could now make out long black hair in the now dim light the flash light was casting. The woman was dressed in a black dress and had vibrant green eyes.

" H-Hello?" Amu was nervous. If this was the owner of the house, she was in so much trouble.

The woman said nothing and just stared at her. Something moved from behind her but Amu didn't know what it was. All of a sudden a pain was coming from her neck. She stared in shock at the person who was just standing there. The lady's mouth was moving, but Amu couldn't make out any words. Her vision and hearing were fading and the ground was getting closer. The last thing she could hear clearly was a high pitched squeak and then she blacked out.

And I'm leaving it there. I flipped a coin to see if I'd keep going into chapter 3, or if I'd leave it. That's how I make my big decisions. Flipping a coin. XD

So anyway, I am sorry about the totally pointless chapter, I just needed a space filler. For this story, things start to go slow, then they pick up. So sorry if you get bored with it and I can't blame you for giving up on this story.

Thanks to all those who reviewed again and I hope I can get a few more reviews too. Lol don't you hate it when someone favorites your story but they don't review?

Anyway, I'll update….Saturday maybe. We'll see.

Oh! Would anyone like me to do the basic design of the clearing, and the house? I suck at art, but I could make SOMETHING! Just let me know. I'll do it if like 3 people want me to.

Well anyway it's 12:26 am, and I have to get up at 6 am. So good night!
