Episode 1
Night came with million of stars spread across the sky, serene and quiet as it is. Kassi sat at her house front porch accompanied with her friend Samantha. It had been years since they hanged out together until Sam's parents moved to another city. Kassi remembered they both were only thirteen when they got seperated. It has been five years now and somehow Sam decided to move back to the hometown. She came back alone without her parents. Back to where she remembered a place of happy memories.
Kassi
So when did you come back?
Kassi
What makes you return?
Kassi
Don't get me wrong..I'm just curious..you know..
Sam
I didn't like it over there. I didn't like the city life..I'm used to this place..
Kassi
Well, you're always welcome to come back to this town, Sam.
Kassi
What about your parents? Are they coming too?
Sam
I'm afraid not..they're busy and they pretty much loved the new enviroment. They got adapted to the life there really fast..
Kassi
Why didn't you contact me when you are away? I mean you didn't even write me a letter..
Sam
I'd never thought I was much of a friend to you...we went to the same school and studied in the same class and played together. I didn't think much of it...It's just as it is. But when I came back here..I remembered you. You were the nicest girl I knew, Kassi..
Sam
That's why I came by to say hi to you..
Their eyes met and locked with each other. There was silence in between them at that moment. Kassi felt something weird about Sam but she couldn't figure what it was. Sam blinked and gave out a small laughter as she looked away from Kassi.
Sam
You got prettier since I last saw you... Do you know that?
Kassi
Come on, stop it. I'm still the same old me..
Kassi
Well, what about you? Look at you! You've cut your hair. Looking pretty cool and all...
Kassi smiled. While by her side, Sam caught herself gazing at Kassi again. Sam was mesmerize by Kassi's beauty. As time passed through those five years, Sam saw the changes in Kassi towards womanhood now.
Sam
Nah..I was just kidding. You still look the same to me.
Kassi
I knew it ! I almost believe it when you say that I'm pretty.
Sam
Well ..almost pretty but not yet.
The front door creaked open and there stood a woman figure at the door.
Kassi's mother
Do you girls need anything?
Kassi
No, mom. We are fine.
Kassi's mother
Alright then, I'm going to bed now.
Kassi's mother
Oh! Sam, are you sleeping over tonight?
Sam
Nope, Mrs Lee. I'm leaving soon. No worries.
Kassi's mother
Well...it's quite late for a young lady to be on her own. Are you sure? And where are you staying now that you're back in town?
Sam
Mom and Dad still have that old cabin near the mountain, so I'll be staying there for a while..
Kassi's mother
Oh my! I'm surprised. I thought your parents had sold that lot as they were moving out at that time.
Sam
They didn't. They sold our house..but not the cabin though..
Kassi's mother
If that's the case it's good to have you back, Sam.
Kassi's mother
I'm going upstairs now. Good night, girls.
Kassi
I'll see you tomorrow?
Kassi
Have you meet up our friends yet ?
Sam
No. You're the first I look up for since I came. Why?
Kassi
They are so gonna freak out when they know you're back ! Let's meet up at the coffee shop in town. Tomorrow 4pm.
Kassi
Yes. They. Jessy. Edry. Hans.
Sam
Umm..I'm not sure if I can make it, Kassi.
Kassi
Oh, come on. Don't be such a spoil sport.
Sam
Fine. I'll be there. See you tomorrow.
Sam stood up and made her way to the car. Kassi who is still standing at the porch waved goodbye and disappeared into the house. She went up the stairs with thoughts to herself.
Kassi
This is gonna be so exciting! Wait till the rest knows about Sam. Okay, who should I call first tomorrow morning ?
Sam drove past the trees along the dark road, heading towards the cabin. Upon reaching the shack, she slumped her body onto the old sofa.
They. She thought to herself.
Sam
I remember them. I remember them very well, Kassi..
