In Part 1 of Chapter 2: Something Small and Precious:

'Aw poor thing, you must have been attacked by a nasty old cat.' She said as she picked the bird up as if it were so fragile it was to break. The little bird laid there in here hands as it grew weaker and weaker.

'I'd better take you home so that nasty cat can't harm you anymore.'

The thing that was screaming caught up with her. She saw it's face, it's twisted moaning, death like face. Looking at it made her sick, but she kept wondering 'Why aren't there people around? Why weren't there children at the park? What's going on? This place should be huddled with people at this time of day!'

The next thing she knew she was at her house, the bird was gone and so was her fear. What had happened to her she didn't know and no one else did either, because that's what she thought……

Chapter 2: Something Small and Precious. Part 2

Ren woke up the next morning to the smell of pancakes, eggs, bacon and cheese. The smell carried her down stairs to find that that sweet yummy smell of food wasn't for her, but for her brother.

'Oh, it's you…' She said as she sat down at the table.

'Haha!! I get a good break-fast while you're stuck eating soggy cereal!' He said with his mouth full. Ren glared at him all morning until her eyes hurt and he left out the door.

'Hey mum, how come you're not rushing me to get to school?' Ren said cleaning up the table.

'There are still complications going on inside the school so all students have the rest of the week off. Isn't that great? More time for you and me!' Her mother said proudly and excited.

'Yeah, great…the only place I get peace I can't even go to.' She mumbled under her breath and then walked out the door.

'Hey Ren!' Mimi and Kuya called from the house gate. Ren ran up to them.

'Did you hear about school?' She asked.

'Yeah! It's great!' Mimi said. 'You can never get enough days off school, you know!' Ren sighed then walked with Mimi and Kuya to the park. When they got there they sat on the same bench that Ren sat on the day before. Ren started to remember all the happenings in the past day. The bird, the screaming, the thing that she saw and how she got home without remembering.

'How come there aren't any children here? There should be heaps!' Kuya pointed out.

'It was like this yesterday, as well.' Ren replied. Mimi and Kuya both looked at her strangely.

'You were here yesterday?' They both said in shock.

'Yes, why?'

'There was a bank robbery at the Phoenix Vault Bank!' Mimi blurted out. Ren stared at them both in shock then she heard the screaming again.

'I think we should go.' She insisted.

'Yeah I guess so; the robber might still be in the area!' Mimi highlighted as an idea that would never be an idea. They all went their separate ways for the day. Mimi went shopping, Kuya went to the cinemas and Ren went back to the park when Mimi and Kuya disappeared out of sight. She waited on the bench until it came.

'What are you?' She asked, but there was no answer. 'Why are you here?' There was still no answer. 'Are you after me? If so…' She was interrupted by something swooping past and cutting the thing in two. She looked to see who it was but she didn't recognize them.

'Hey! Wait!' She yelled to the person who had just cut something unknown to her in half.

'How can you see me? Let alone talk to me?' The person said.

'Well of course I can see you and talk to you! You're a person just like me.' She replied.

'How said I was a person like you, because I'm no person. I don't even come from this world. I just protect it and the people living in it.' She stood there watching as he fully destroyed the body that was lying on the ground.

'Then what are you?' She said shaking.

'Just come with me and I'll tell you everything you need to know.' He put out his hand to lead her. She took his hand and he led her into his world.
