Hope you enjoy it :)......

"Dreaming visions is similar to having nightmares"

____________________________________

I arrived at my house, I rang the bell and the door opened and I saw my brother, Larry standing in front of me. He had black hair's but a little yellow at the edges. He dyed his hair's and never minded to tell me. he was wearing a black pant and a shirt.

"Had a nice day, Jeanette?" He asked me, I don't think he's my brother since our parents died in a car crash, he has changed, I barely remember that he didnt had a nice behaviour towards me, he behaved badly and that's my brother, not him, he is different from my brother, I want my real brother, everybody says that Larry have changed for good, but I have a question, changing from inside is a change, but what about changing from outside, his face is different from my brother or just because I had got a shock when I heard the news about our parents death when I was 14 and now I'm 17, soon to be 18.

I didn't answered his question, but instead I nodded so that he doesn't feel bad like once I did, I walked straight to my room, It wasn't actually my room nor my house, it was my Aunt's house, after our mom and dad died, our house was put for sale and now it belongs to Willson's family. I threw my bag on my bed and I slammed the door shut, I sat on my fluffy bed and I crossed my leg's, my brunette hairs were tangled.

I remembered how my mom said 'I promise we will be back soon' she promised me and if she promised then they will, my mom and dad gave me and larry a present on Christmas on my birthday, it was a necklace it only had a blue crystal in center with a gold chain hung through it, it was the last gift from my parents so I always wore it, I don't know what Larry had got in that present, he never told me about it.

I had to read for my last exam and it was tomorrow on 20th December and my unlucky day was coming closer, I took my book from the bag and walked towards the calendar hanging on the wall "25th December" I told to myself, I looked at the date on the calendar and I had marked it in red ink pen, I had hated christmas and my birthday from the day my parents died because they died on that day, I don't go and celebrate Christmas and my birthday, I live like there is no christmas and birthday in this world. I kept the book on the desk which I had to read.

I changed my clothes with a blue jeans pant and a blue sleeveless top and upon my blue top I wore a jacket because I hate sleeveless clothes, I walked forward to my study table and I sat on it, I took the old dusty news paper from the side of the table and began to read the article of the death of my parents, Car crash on the high way I stopped to the title and kept it in its original place.

I began to read my book and tried my best to ignore the newspaper.

________________________________

I could hear the footsteps coming closer and closer and the door clicked open "dear it's time to sleep" my Aunt said to me.

"Yes, Aunt" I replied and she nodded and walked down the hall.

I stood up from my desk where I was sitting and got changed in my pajamas and a comfortable T shirt and then climbed on the bed and took my blanket and leaned on the bed and my eyelids shut closed and I was dreaming.

Come to me dear, come to me.....

I walked towards a yellow shinning glittering object.....

In this new world of mystery,

I was following a shadow and it followed me blue lights making a freaking sound, I ran.....

Secrets are calling you

I can see my mom and dad in front of me.....

I woke up screaming but I stopped before anyone can hear further, I was sweating in fear, what the hell, after some minutes, I was still sitting on the bed wondering if my aunt had heard my scream, I didn't really wanted anyone to come up here and ask me what had happen and hopefully none had heard my fearful scream. I was in my dark room and I told myself that it was just a dream, just a dream. I started to think who was in my dream, speaking to me? the new world of mystery, Secrets are calling me what are the secrets of? And then I realised that it was just a dream and nothing else I slept in my bed ignoring the dream probably nightmare.

All dark but something was glowing, something was bringing the light in my dark room, I opened my eyes and the light came right from me, I looked down at my necklace it was glowing, it had a yellow shiny, glitter color at the centre of the blue ball.

But I ignored it, maybe it always glowed and I knew it now at this night.

____________________________________

The alarm woke me up at 6:00 am and I walked to the bathroom and freshed myself I went downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Breakfast is on the table" A voice behind me made my heart jump in fear, for sure it was Larry, was he trying to make me scared or just wanted to make me look like a fool?

I took a deep breath "oh it's just you, you scared me" I didn't wanted to say it but it came out.

"Do you think I'm a monster or something like ghosts to scare you?" he questioned.

Yeah, maybe he is right, he is one, who turns so nice and behaving well in just 1 month or 2 and even changes himself.

"Sorry" well, I said that even after thinking that he might be one monster or ghost.

"Well then it's ok" he said and pulled out a chair for me and another for himself.

I nodded and smiled at him and sat on the chair. I started to eat my breakfast and then a thought popped up in my mind.

"Are... are you going for college this Christmas?" I stammered.

Larry shot up an eyebrow at me "who the hell goes to college or school at Christmas, there will be holiday at Christmas" he laughed, I was an total idiot and embarrassed myself how could I forget there will be holiday, I made a total fool of myself.

"Oh...yeah....I just asked because you know that I don't go anywhere at.. at... Christmas I just love to-" I couldn't find my words but Larry interjected.

"Why don't you just tell it? You hate christmas, you don't need to hide it, Jeanette" he paused "our parents died approximately 3 years ago, 3 years is a huge difference, forget it, and it's a coincidense" said Larry, my blood warmed up but I didn't let my anger out.

"3 years isn't a huge difference Larry and how could you say so easily" my eyes flooded with tears and I couldn't stop it.

Larry didn't say anything and I filled my mouth with a mouthful of roasted chiken so that I don't need to argue with him, I hate arguing. I wiped off my tears.

"Already" my Aunt was standing at the kitchen door wearing a sun hat on her greyish black hairs "never saw you get up so early in the morning" she looked at me with her brown eyes.

"What?! Whats the time" I asked curiously because it's impossible that I could get up at five or four, six is my usual timing and in fact I am really lazy.

"It's 6:30" my aunt replied.

What? weird things are happening to me from last night. The alarm was set exact at six but now it's 6:30, did I set the time wrong in the alarm or something went wrong with my mobile.

"But...but I woke up exactly at 6, how could I be so... fast, I actually take 30 minutes to..to bath and then 30 minutes to change then how could it be 6:30 now?" I stammered, I would have probably looked like an idiot when I spoke.

"Dear, don't be afraid maybe you have got up at five or 5:30 it's not a big problem there" Aunt smiled, oh... how could I be so stupid, Aunt is right I shouldn't be afraid but the things happened last night. I was afraid and how could I forget that no one knows that I had the weirdest dream ever last night. I swallowed hard when I thought about it, but I decided not to talk or think about it for now.

"Yeah... you are right Aunt, I shouldn't be so... you know" I rubbed my arms.

"it's ok dear, don't believe in superstitious things" those words hit me so hard, right I'm going in the superstitious way or something like that or anything else which would fit. I had to take all the stupid stuff in my mind out believing a dream and a necklace shinning in a dark room isn't so surprising Pherhaps it's just my imagination.

"Well then I must... I must be going" I smiled at Aunt and sliped my bag towards my shoulder which was lying on a small table and then I walked forward to the school.

I was wondering of those weird things but I was successful in dragging out the stupid thoughts that came in my mind, finally I was done kicking out all the weird thoughts that came in my mind, it just took 10 minutes for that, it actually wasn't like movies and fantasy books where someone gets a dream out of nowhere and pops up in a dangerous situation where it haven't even known what to do and mess up's all the things and finally that damn person is still a hero of everything, great person who comes with this fantastic stories though.

And at last I had arrived at my school and I could finally finish my last exam and get those holidays of christmas, well I don't like christmas I actually hate it don't mind that.

I arrived at my examination hall room and sank in my desk feeling really relaxed to sit down it was like I was walking for a whole day or two.

"So early Jeanette" said Mr Mick, Mr Mick is one of our subject teacher but he doesn't take for our class.

"Yeah... sir I got up early today" I replied.

"Last exam thats why?" Mr Mick asked me with a grin plastered on his face.

"Yeah, kind of" I replied smiling.

Mr Mick nodded and gave me a small smile. After sometime he then gave me my question paper and I started working on it.

"No matter how much far your friend is, your letter is always given with love, some with handwriting and some with heart"

_______________________________

After examinations I came out of the examination hall and walked towards my class. probably my class was a bit far from the examination hall and now I had to walk to the class before the bell rings it might take at least five minutes to walk, our school is huge not huge but large would be the right word for that, Probably it didn't have elevators so that the students can get to the class on time. If their class is far away from the examination hall at the examination time probably. I expected someone to come, she must be here at this time, she never leaves me alone.

"Jeanette! Jeanette! wait!" I heard someone calling my name. I turned back and saw a blonde girl rushing towads me. As expected. Kristen rushed towards me, her hands in the air willing to hug me.

"Going without me?" She said and hugged me tightly and after some seconds she let me go, how can I forget my best friend, Kristen. My childhood friend and I know that only Kristen understands all my feelings and she shares everything with me and I too share. I remember we played in our childhood I always spended more time being with Kristen and I didn't spend much time with others execpt for my mom and dad, Larry didnt care to be with me or to play. He was happy being rude and childish. My Aunt always took Kristen to our trips and Larrys friends spended more time in mobiles instead of playing or talking but were sometimes out on trips and out on some random places like pizza hut, subways and all. Once we visited New York and Kristen was actually dieing to see the place she was kind of troubling me and I scolded her she didn't actually talked to me that day just because I had scolded her but after that she was normal like nothing happened that's the speciality of Kristen. Her mood is not permanent for a day it's temporary her mood changes in every 0.0003 millisecond like mine but I don't change my mood in such a less time.

"No. just a little disturbed from-" I responded but Kristen spoke in between.

"3 years?" She always told the right words which I wanted to but in a different way, I didn't actually wanted to say 3 years.

"No I-I, it's just....." none of the right words were coming to my mind.

"I can understand and sorry about that but you need to let it go" she paused "well let's go to the class" she continued "Is it english class first?" She asked.

"The most boring class" I answered.

"Ah, Social" we said together in an boring tone. We ran towards the class forgetting about the last conversation.

Ms Rebecca entered the class. She had brown hairs, blue color at the edges and had a clear face she always wears a pink color lipstick and applies her mascara, eyeliner, kajal, blush, foundation and eyeshadow everyday and shapes her eyebrows twice in a week and also her handbag is all filled with cosmetics. I noticed all this from the day she became our social teacher.

"Makeup queen" Kristen whispered to me and I exhalted half a laugh.

Kristen was always a cheerful girl, she made me laugh when I felt lonely and never let me alone but she never cracked jokes in between of serious matters instead she tried to find out some solutions, I remember the time....

when my parents died and when Kristen got to know after a year and she slapped me right on my head and said 'hided such a big thing from your best friend from a whole year' and huged me tightly and couldn't stop her tears falling on my shoulders. I too cried at that moment.

I let out a smile for her on my face "out of limit, she is way too girly" I replied "She knows the History of cosmetics" I joke.

"Girls and boy's maintain silence in the class" Ms Rebecca shouted at the class, she could have said 'students' instead of 'girls and boys'.

The class had began and Ms Rebecca continued the lesson which she started yesterday. I wasn't interested in it nor Kristen did, so we were just pretending like we were listening to her but in reality we never did.

__________________________

The bell rang at the right time, I felt like I was going to fall asleep and Ms Rebecca would kill me for that and at last she walked out of the class and everyone leaned back on their desks. Making noices that meant 'kick the shit out of this freaking leacture' well, I made that up. They just exhaled breaths and muttered things under their breaths.

Kristen was sleeping but I know she was just pretending "Kristen get up" I said.

"I have died" she muttered.

"Are you dreaming" I asked.

"No, I'm sleeping" she got up and said, "I felt like I was going to cry" she said.

"Me too, I was actually dieing" I copied what Kristen said at the startingm I wanted to make her laugh but it didn't came out as I wanted it to.

"That's what I said" Kristen smiled at me and we laughed again.

"Jeanette? coming to my home after school?" Kristen asked.

"No. I'm not interested today, I just wanna go home and rest" I protested, no way I was going with her today, every part of me shouted that I shouldn't because I already had a headache because of Ms Rebecca and those crazy thoughts dancing around my head.

"How about tomorrow?" She asked.

"In my house"

"Done"

"Done" I replied.

______________________

After school I and Kristen walked together down the street and I arrived at my house and Kristen walked to hers and we giving each other goodbyes.

I rang the bell and stood in front of the door, the door opend and I found Aunt standing in front of me and she invited me in, like she always did.

"That book has been delivered which you ordered online" said Aunt and my heart jumped in excitement, I had ordered it before 2 days and it had arrived.

"Where is it?" I asked.

"On the bookshelf" she replied.

"Thankyou" I said and just nodded at her and smiled. I walked towards my room and shut the door like I always did. I walked into the bathroom and changed myself in usual clothes and hopped onto my desk and did my school work.

________________________

At last I had done my work and the clock said 7pm at night and I remembered my Aunt had kept the book on the book shelf which I was waiting from 2 days. I stood up and walked forward towards the bookshelf, the bookshelf stood long and tall and I couldn't possibly reach it. I moved the near by chair in front of me and climbed on it, my hand could reach it now but I had to stretch myself.

My hand was right on the book and I tried to take it but it fell down on the floor with it came down a white color package tied with a beautiful pink ribbon on it, I jumped out of the chair and I picked up the book and the package. I kept the book on the soft bed and settled myself on it and scanned the package it had an envelope hanging out from the pink ribbon, it read Belongs to Sera and Jackson. This package will give me a huge mini heart attack. I was curious what could be inside the package and I untied the ribbon and opened it.

The package was filled with letters probably love letters from my mom and dad. I opened the first one and it read.

Jackson

It said the first word Jackson indicated that it was from my mom, I scanned the next few lines and it said.....

After all our relationship,

I think we must get married.

Please think about this.......

Sera.

That's all it said. I searched the next letter from my dad, dated after this letter. I found it and opened it. I didn't know what would my dad say in the letter? I knew that he would say yes but he would just say no at the first? I scanned the next letter.

I would love to Sera, but what will your people say

I was in shock, weird dreams, weird things and now weird letters. Just great. now Jeanette get ready for more strange happenings. question: why did my dad said your people does he meant something secret or people referred to my mom's family.

I scanned the next few lines.

What if they are scared of me? And what would you do if they drive you out of your own world.

Jackson.

My blood ran cold through my body and I held my breath, what? drive out of her own world? wait did I read something wrong I read it once more but there were no changes. I pinched myself but it hurted so this is reality not a dream. I bit my lip, I wanted to find something written on the letter that they were joking but it didn't actually happened. I took a deep breath realising that I was holding my breath, I took the next letter and I opened it...

I love you Sera

Jackson

Just that and nothing else. I inhaled and exhaled so that I won't be too curious about it and telling myself not to take a wrong step in confusion. (What I would have done, If I didn't calm myself: run downstairs, scream, let the whole city know how crazy I have gone) so I scanned some of the letters, there were some love quotes written on it but the only letter which made me curious and put me to debate myself that was from my dad. I didn't found any more information why did my dad said your people and I had a lot of questions running through my mind. The most frightening questions were: what did dad meant by what if they are scared of me? and what meant by drive my mom out of her world, does it mean my mom isn't from earth? Is she an alien or something?! I had a lot to find out.

I found another letter in the envelope and I pulled it out from it and kept it on my lap and started to read it.

Sera, today I know more about wonderbells, tomorrow I'm coming to meet you. so tell me where is the leading path of your world.

Jackson

I stood up in shock, there were goosebumps on my skin now and at the same time a million thoughts ran across my mind and as I stood up another letter fell down on the floor. I took it up and started to stare at it, what will be the reply? what is the meaning of wonderbells or who are wonderbells. I opened it and noticed that the half paper was torn apart, I started to scan the remaining words.

Come to the darkhound forest, near the most frightening large tree. if you find something strange in your way then get into it dont be scared and then you will get a mysterious b-l

Damn it, the paper was torn at the important turn. At once I listened the clink of the door open. I froze, standing still on my feet, all the letters on my bed-

"Do you need something dear? You were in the room from the last 4 hours, so I just came to know" my Aunt stood at the back of me and I was holding the letter and I didn't dared to turn back but I did.

"Um...No Aunt I don't and I was doing my school work, I actually didn't needed anything" I hesitated. It was good that my Aunt walked back to the hall without noticing the letters on my bed but now I needed to tell this to anyone but not now and I knew who was the right person to trust because I needed help I can't do it alone.

"Never let your plans and goals down, let it fly high and aim higher"

_______________________________

I woke up at morning and after freshing up myself, I headed downstairs and ate my breakfast and wallked away to the school as usual. I was hoping that the time would run faster today and it did or maybe I was too busy with my work and didn't noticed the time or was I just wondering what would be the right words to explain Kristen? I don't know what will be the reply from Kristen though, would she lead me to a hospital? A mental hospital? or to a psychiatrist.

I felt my mind swimming, I felt dizzy. A strange feeling washed towards me but nothing much happened, for a second I felt like I was numb or something and soon everything went normal- a weird feeling- I would say.

Leaves crumbled under my feet as I walked into the avenue, I took a different way to the school this time. It goes straight and right to the school, it's a bit long way but today it doesn't matter. My mind is telling me to jump on the soft green grass and never return to the noisy street again but I couldn't, I moved forward maybe it would take 10 minutes to reach the school, the distant meadow caught my sight, red, white and yellow glistening flowers in the sunshine. Birds singing but out of sight. A blue bird I noticed, seated on the branch of the yellow color tree, it had black beak and blue body with white dots on it's wings with a crown on its head. The yellow leafs brushed my hairs and my shoulder, I pulled the leafs away from my hairs they were wet. No, were my hands wet? but why were my hands wet? The weather seemed to be fine yesterday, no rain, so no water on the streets, there would be puddles created if rain had poured down...

But there was water on the leaf or was it my hand? You know what? never mind. Just move on Jeanette. I told myself rolling my eyes.

I arrived at the school and Kristen waved her hand at me, I rushed towards her to tell her about the letters, those weird dreams and all but I stopped.

This wasn't the right time, speaking about this in the school would grab everyone's attention, they will eavesdrop us. It would be better to talk at my home not in the school or there will be lots of problems if they heard it, everyone would ask me so many questions:

Are you ok? Do you need some rest? Shall I contact the doctor or your parents? Do you feel dizzy? Do you have headache? Do you have bp or diabetes? Stomach ache or any diseases? Like I have the greatest health issues in the world, some questions do not make any sense at all like do I have bp or daibetes are they out of there mind? Well, it's good that it was just my imagination but it felt like real, from when did I start to feel so real when I was just imagining.

"Sup?" Kristen asked me.

"Nothing much" I lied there was a lot going in my mind right now.

"Ok, I thought you were going to tell me something, I guessed it by your expressions" Kristen said with a wide smirk.

"Good at reading faces" I replied but how was she so confident about that? how did she know that I was going to tell her something? but I continued anyway "it's not the right time now" I paused "At my home after school?" I asked.

"Ok" Kristen nodded and we marched into the class.

_____________________

I was walking with Kristen to my house, probably not walking but neither running, well, speed walking.

"Hey slow down Jeanette, let's go a bit slow-" I interrupted Kristen, I really want to talk about this, I need to tell Kristen about this, why wouldn't I tell my best friend about this? I can trust my best friend right?

"I need to talk to you, I don't wanna waste time" I said and fastened myself, I had planned to make a trip to this darkhunk- I mean some what darkhound- or darkhull forest, I don't even remember that name and I don't even know where it is, I could only do it with Kirsten and if I did it with others then surely they would shoot up looks at me and then kick me off. I wonder if Kristen would do it. Not at all.

"But what do you want to talk about? Morning you said you want to talk but yeah, okay tell me briefly at least, we are not in the school" Kristen said dramatically.

"Something important then you think" I replied and Kirsten remained silent. It wasn't the right time to talk about this, not in the middle of the street, I turned back and looked at Kristen, her blonde hairs bouncing off her sholder as I stopped. She gazed at me maybe she was scanning my face to know more she looked confused as I stared back at her blankly, I turned back and made my way to my house dragging Kristen with me.

I rang the bell twice and the door click opened and I saw Larry in front of me. His lips turned into a grin and he opened his mouth to say something.

"How was your day?" He asked like he had only one question every day and thankfully he added something more "you didn't say we had company"

"The day went as usual and sorry I didn't tell you that Kristen is walking up to our house" I replied with a forced smile and Larry nodded. I took Kristen to my room, holding her hand tightly, I rushed towards the stairs and my foot steps thudding on it, I shut the door close. If you are wondering, why Larry is always home and not in college then it's because he fell off from the stairs. He had some injuries but not many just his leg twisted. I know it hurts like hell.

"What is it why are you in such a hurry" Kristen pulled away but I ignored the question and Burstead out.

"Yesterday I found a package on my bookshelf out of nowhere, with an envelope on it, it said belongs to Sera and Jackson, I-I opened it and I found some letters and when I read it I got to know that my mom is from a-another world. My necklace started glowing and I got weird dreams and also weird feelings" I thought not to tell anything about the dream I had last night, my glowing necklace for the first time, the feeling at the morning but it came out.

"What!?" She gave me a look.

"I-I know you are thinking I'm mad or I'm not well but it's- it's true" I stammered again, why am I stammering again and again?

"Oh, wait, you said you got a package of letters which belongs to your mom and dad and it said that your mother is from another living world?" Kristen tried to understand it with a huge amount of surprise.

"Yes" I replied, nothing but 'yes', the question reappeared in my mind would she drag me to the mental hospital?

"Where is it?" Thankfully she didn't, I slipped to my desk and brought her the letters, what would Kristen say? What if she says that I'm an idiot to be so frustrated.

After reading it, Kristen stared at me and I stared at her.

"Darkhound?" she asked.

"Do you know where it is?" I asked, I think Kristen agreed what the letters said.

Kristen nodded and I thought she would know where the darkhound is, I swallowed hard "No I don't" just a great reply if she was not knowing then why did she nod?

"Sorry but I don't know where it is?" Kristen frowned.

A short pause and the imaginary light bulb lit up on top of my mind "How about checking in the library, there are a lot of books on geography"

"Great idea" she smiled "you are saying that in a world of latest technologies, we should go check the library?" She rolled her eyes.

"Oh.. yeah sorry" I smiled sheepishly.

"But the another half is teared we don't know much about it did you find another half of this inside the envelope or anywhere?" she aksed.

"No I don't" I said flatly.

"Ohk" she paused "maybe we should get on with this little information itself" I cannot believe that Kristen agreed with it so fast but at least she wasn't driven crazy by her mind like mine did.

"And what about wonderbells, what are these wonderbells, do you know about it?" Kristen asked.

"I don't know what are wonderbells Kristen, I know nothing" I replied with a frown.

"Well then, for now lets forget about it and do our school work"

"Then Let's do it for now" I said.

"Okay" Kristen said and I just nodded at her "We'll do the searching work tomorrow"

____________________

I woke up as usual and walked to the school, last night I had said everything to Kristen my best friend and I remembered that today Kristen and I had to search the place. I know it would just take 5 minutes to do it but yesterday it was too much to carry on for both of us.

We both arrieved at my house, the reason Kristen most of the times have to come up to my house is because of my laziness, her home is too far for me. We were in my room now and without wasting time we both took out our mobiles.

"Who will find Darkhound forest first will be the winner and the time starts now" before I could even argue on the little competition of ours, she had already began so I shurgged it off and got in the little competition. I typed in Darkhound forest and waited.

Chertsey hills, Atlanta

The mono tuned voice busted out from Kristen's mobile. Of course she is faster than me.

Chertsey hills are an archaeologists attraction, these hill's are visited by archaeologists only but in winters at the Christmas eve this place is visited by school's, colleges and even tourists. Archaeologist have found that after crossing the valley of the Chertsey hills there is a forest, it is like a dead life some of the nocturnal animals live in the forest, this forsest is known as Darkhound forest.

"Yes! I win" Kristen excalimed leaving me roll my eyes and the the same mono tune voice burst out of my mobile.

Chersey hills blah, blah, blah....

I backed it up and shoved my phone in my pocket.

"At least we got it, even if you didn't win" she paused "Hey! If I win then that means you win too" Kristen said looking at me.

"Yeah, I know that" I smiled at her words. "I had a question though, what if they won't allow us into the hill's because only archaeologists are allowed and even if we get there on this winter only schools, colleges or institutions or universities are allowed" I bombarded her with a heavy to get through question.

"Woah, woah calm down" she paused "First point to note down is, its in Atlanta, its pretty far. And you asked how will we go to the Darkhoud, right? Well, Leave it up to me" She finished. I don't know what is cooking in her pretty little mind.

"Do you think this is way to easy to go there? What shall we say to our parents? And even If we get them hooked by a reason, won't will be they worried if we are late and scared of some creatures over there" I just put myself on questioning myself. Kristens mothers death was a tragedy for her and for me, she managed herself up in just 1 year. She might be 14 years at that time her mother had died because of health issues, my Aunt told me that she had a heart attack in middle of the kitchen while she was cooking, her husband had took her for the hospital but it was too late. Just one year of difference between when her mom died and when my Parents died.

"It will be okay, it will be adventurous" she flashed her million dollar smile.

"It said it is open only on Christmas Eve Right?" word's slipping off her tongue "Are you thinking what I'm thinking" she stood up with a grin playing on her face.

"Actually not" I shot an eyebrow at her, this isn't a movie to just share our thoughts without using our tongue, it's not like -hey I read your mind just now shall I catch up? - reading mind's isn't easy but scanning faces is a bit.

"There is no school tomorrow, the Christmas holidays have been announced, right?" Kristen asked and I nodded, I don't know why her mind works like a super computer. Kristen opened her mouth and attempted to complete her words "I have a plan. Tomorrow I will pick you up be ready at morning" what a mind I really appreciate it. She never tells her so called plans to me but sometimes her plans really work. Keyword there 'sometimes'.

"11 am, tomorrow" she added and thought for a moment "Did you find something weird in your mother and fathers discussion when they were still alive... if you do remeber" Kristen asked me leaning on my bed with her golden color eyes fixed on me.

"No, they never argued. We just lived simple lives. I barely remember that they didn't scold Larry or me even if we did something wrong, Larry always troubled me but now..." I hesitated, I looked down not meeting eyes with Kristen.

"Your brother has changed" Kristen completed my sentence.

"Yes. kind of. According to me his face and his attitudes are different" I replied.

I grabbed the photo frame which was sitting on my desk, my mom, my dad, Larry stood in that picture and I was in my mom's hands hugging her. Kristen scanned the picture of my brother as I handed over to her, I sat beside her, eagerly waiting for her reaction.

"I think something is fishy here" Kristen stared at the photo frame, frowning at it "do you?"

"I think- I don't know... exactly" I hesitated again.

"Um....What's the date today" Kristen soon noticed my uncomfortable self and dodged to some other topic.

"Its 20th December" I replied.

"5 days more" she muttered "I dont wanna go to that freaking haunted forest but surely I want to go to Atlanta" she shurgged.

"Yes but I need to find all the answers to my questions" I replied.

"Dump your questions in some garbage, but if any monster will be after us you are the responsible for it" she said and crossed her arms across her chest.

"Yeah, yeah. Sure" I muttered.

"The most beautiful place in Gorgie, The capital itself. I love that place I would pack up my things without wasting time and run like a Vampire or Wolf to get as fast as I can. For me it's heaven like place, at the middle is the city surrounded by the beautiful forest's and distant mountains" I daydreamed.

"I know right?!" Kristen excalaimed with a wide smile "You know I love adventures" Kristen said which I prefer she has said it a thousand times already.

At morning Kristen and I arrived at the school's office and I was standing at the door entrence, Mr John was sitting on his chair. Our pure hearted Principle. Which he is not, yeah sometimes he might be good but not everytime.

"Jeanette go on..." Kristen murmured near me.

"Wait a minute, this is your plan. Why should I do it?" I replied.

"Girls do you need something" Mr John's voice sliced through us, I stepped in and started to talk.

"Sir, I just wanted to say that we wanted to go on a trip this Christmas Eve-" Kristen interrupted me.

"Probably our class" She said.

"What!? Not the class" I whispered to her. She was dragging in the whole class!? What if he asks the whole class and we get busted?

"Yeah the whole class wants to go to the Chertsey hills, Atlanta..." Kristen ignored me and at last I had to agree with her.

"Um.. we could study new things in Chertsey hills like most archaeologists visit there" I ended up thinking that our principal would just kick us off at that suggestions.

"You could have told it earlier but.." he paused. Kristen and I were thinking what will be the next words, will it be, 'get out of my office' or just a simple word 'No I won't give the permission' and then luckily he said.

"It would be a great idea it would actually be knowledgeable for your class" and my heart jumped in excitement again.

"Thankyou sir" I said.

"I will inform it to the class" he said and I would actually say 'yes' out loud but... calm down... self control....

"Thankyou sir" we said together

Kristen and I walked outside of the office and stright out of the school and we thought that Mr John would scold us but instead he appreciated us! What a great day.

"Yes! At last we will know why did your dad wrote some strange things in the letters" Kristen said.

"Yes we will know it soon but you know, that was a miracle!" I nodded at her.
