Chapter One: The Silver Glint

"Why weren't you there Jess?"

"I…I...just….I want…I'm…"

"Don't explain Jess, I think you were just pretending to be my friend"

"No…that's…not…true…Leslie…I…"

"I thought you were my friend Jess"

"I am…I am your…friend…Leslie….I am your friend!"

A throbbing pain woke Jesse Aarons from his deep sleep. It was just a dream, a dream he remember well, cause about 15 yrs ago, he always have this dream.

So why did I dreamed of this again?? Jesse thought, Jesse knew long ago that he had accepted his best friend is gone but sometimes he just found himself wiping tears from his cheek. Then he remembered, today is the 17th death anniversary of Leslie Burke. Oh, Thanks for reminding me. Jesse looked at the clock beside him, it was 4:30 in the morning and he smells pancakes, May is probably cooking, since May Belle's work starts at 6 she has to get up early and cook breakfast for all of them, except his older sisters cause they moved out of the house to join their family the only ones who lives here in lark creek are his Dad, Mom, Joycey, May Belle and Him.

Jesse got up his bed and took his towel and went to the bathroom to shower, I need to loosen up my head, I need to go back...after showering he puts on his Jogging pants and sweat shirt and put on his sneakers. When he went down May Belle greeted him good morning

"morning" he said

"do you want eggs, pancakes or bacon?"

"no thanks, I'll just have some toast"

"your up early" she looks at the wall clock "going to run?"

"I guess"

"What's wrong? You look pale"

"must be the cold water from the shower, May listen…" she turned around and face him "I won't be going to work today so you have to drive yourself"

"that's ok, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going back there, I really need to clear my head"

May Belle was a bit shock, Jesse hasn't been going there for the past 5 years, but she remembered "oh…yeah…today's her…"

Jesse just gave a short nod "well I'll be going now"

The moment he went outside, he quickly run thru the dirt road and went to the creek. While he was running he remembers the times where he and Leslie always race each other to the creek bed, and Leslie always win. Good times, good times.

When he got there, Jesse stops in the front of the bridge, the bridge the he built when he was 11 was now covered with moss, of course the magic isn't there anymore, there's no more Terabithia, It died long ago, when Jesse grew up. He looks around for a moment then Jesse looks at the creek, the water is really low cause its hasn't been raining for months now.

Jesse was about to cross the bridge when he turned to his left, he saw a silver glint between two rocks. he didn't really know what it is but he quickly walk towards the creek bed and went down to check it out, he removes his sneakers and socks the pull his jogging pants up. As he got closer he saw what that thing is.

Its was a rectangular silver box, about the size of a shoe box and It was stuck between to large rocks. He tried to pull it out but It won't budge. He also tried moving the rocks but it's just to big, he remembers the thick branch they use to scoop up the rope. He looks up and he saw that Its still there. He quickly gets up the creek and retrieve the stick, then he comes back down. Jesse stabs the stick to the ground in front of the box and pushed the stick with all his might, after 15 seconds, just when the stick is about to break, the box moves forward and fell to the creek. Jesse quickly went to the other side of the two rocks and picked up the box. He examine it for a moment he was stunned when he saw what's carved on the top of the key hole. The were two letters, the letters 'L and B'.

LB, the moment Jesse saw the initials he knew perfectly well what it stands for, Leslie Burke.
