Truth lies with the lies

chapter 1:

It was Saturday, it was going to be Sarah Canterburry's first day at school. Sarah has dark brown hair and green eyes, her skin is fair. Sarah wasn't nervous, and that was only because this wasn't her first time. Sarah is an orphan, her father had died before she was born and her mom died giving birth to her, Sarah having no one who wanted her was put into a foster home. when she was five years old when a couple came to the foster home she was at and adopted her for a few years. They liked her and Sarah had their 6 year-old son to talk to and play with but then when the couple got a baby girl they thought it would be a hassle to have three kids so they left Sarah at a foster home. Sarah stayed there for a year then another family took her but the same thing happened. two more families came and took her and left her. Now Sarah had been taken in by a couple who called the orphanage and when they found out Sarah was in the orphanage they came right away they said that they were her aunt an uncle and had been looking for her for ages! At the time Sarah had felt a flicker of hope flare in her heart, but she was still unsure. So as Sarah walked to the front gates of the school the thoughts of the other families who had kept her, came back, Sarah pushed the thoughts away and reminded her-self that she was 11 years old now and no longer that little hopeful little girl in the orphanage she was a child of a happy family. and with that thought she walked into her new class.

chapter 2:

As Sarah walked in the class she could feel those pairs of eyes staring at her and yet she did not feel one bit nervous. "hello dear, are you Sarah?" the teacher in the class asked. "Yes miss." Sarah replied. "Right then-" the teacher turned to the class "class this is Sarah Canterburry, she is a new girl and will be joining our class from now on. Kathrin can you show Sarah around school and stay with her for the day?" "Sure, Miss. Carol. Should Sarah sit next to me?" Kathrin asked. "Yes, please. Thank you, Sarah how about you go sit next to Kathrin as she suggested, she is just right there." Miss. Carol pointed in the direction of a sandy haired girl with light blue eyes who was waving at a seat next to her, Sarah walked over and sat down. She was about to say hi but then Miss. Carol started the class so Sarah just listened. When class ended Kathrin showed Sarah to the cafeteria and then asked 

"Do you need to go to the bathroom, because i do."

"Ya, I do where are they?"

"come i'll show you." and so Kathrin walked out of the cafeteria with Sarah right behind her. After they went back to the cafeteria they started to eat their snack. "So, where are you from?" Kathrin asked.

"...... I am not sure, you see my dad died before my birth and my mom died giving birth to me....."

"oh..... I'm so sorry"

"No really, it's ok."

"really? if i were you i would be really sensitive about it."

"ya, well you haven't been through what I have and you don't ever want to and if you have been through my stuff, it makes you not feel sad because everyone says the same thing and well...... Its complicated..... any way where are you from." Sarah said changing the subject.
".... what do you mean by you haven't been through what I have?"

"look I don't wana talk about it..."

"oh ok... by the way I'm from America " and with Kathrin saying that, they ate in silence. The day seemed to go by very fast for Sarah and in no time she was saying good-bye to her new friend Kathrin, Sarah liked Kathrin, she was nice and only meant well, sure she asked some stuff Sarah would have preferred not to answer, but hey, this was more friends she'd had in a while. Sarah walked home with her head buzzing with ideas.

chapter 3:

Sarah was walking home from school when all of a sudden a cat came running out of the bush nearby and almost ran into her, Sarah had stopped as soon as she had saw the orange colour of the cat's fur and by doing so she tripped over and her things fell out of her bag. Quickly she picked up her things stuffed them in and then kept walking till she reached the two-story, red and white house and went up to the door and went in. Once Sarah entered and put her stuff down her aunt asked " so, how was school? did you make any friends? have lots of homework? anything interesting happen?" Sarah still didn't trust her aunt and uncle yet so she answered leaving out as much of the details as possible "school was fine, I've got lots of homework and ya I made a friend. but no nothing really unusual happened I tripped on my way home but nothing really and um... have you seen Ruby? I need to feed her....." Ruby was Sarah's cat. Sarah loved cats, she always felt good when there was a cat that she could cuddle or stroke was around. Ruby has been Sarah's cat since as long as she could remember and Sarah felt that it just wouldn't be right to not have Ruby around but her aunt wasn't so fond of cats. "Oh I think she's in your room." Sarah's aunt replied and with that Sarah whisked upstairs to her room. when Sarah entered her room she flopped on her bed taking deep breaths as she was doing so Ruby jumped on her bed and sat next to her. Sarah smiled, she could always count on Ruby to be there for her to pet and tell her secrets. Sarah glanced over at Ruby as she seemed to be nudging her leg for no reason the Sarah saw it. she had a scratch and a big one, Sarah was surprised she hadn't noticed it. From closer inspection she saw that the scratched must have come from a cat because of the way it was. Now Ruby never scratched her so who or what did? as Sarah was lying on her bed trying to think of an answer she felt a tingle run down her leg. at first she thought it was Ruby but then saw it could not have been because Ruby wasn't near her leg and when Sarah looked at her leg the scratched seemed to have disappeared and when Sarah looked at Ruby it seemed like Ruby was trying to tell  her something. Then as she was looking at Ruby a voice one she never heard before spoke in her head " Sarah, oh Sarah  do not distrust the one named Kathrin she shall guide you in your troubles and with what lay ahead." Sarah was so shocked by the voice knowing her name and knowing exactly what was troubling her that she almost didn't hear her aunt saying she should start her work. giving herself a shake she went to her bag and began her work but the thought of the voice never left her mind.

chapter 4:

The next morning when she woke up, Sarah experienced that tingle again except this time it went up her spine and to her head. As this was happening she just stared at the corner of her dark room. Then all of a sudden she saw perfectly even though her room was almost pitch dark... Then Sarah glanced towards her door where the light switch was and saw no one... This creeped Sarah out a lot. Then Sarah remembered she had school. So with out turning on her lights she packed her bag, picked her clothes and cleaned up. When Sara picked up her bag and was about to walk out the door her aunt was in the door-way "Your awake!! I thought you slept in because the light from your room never turned on... Are you feeling ok?"

"Yes i feel fine"

"Ok, it's just you seem to be acting weird ever since yesterday"

"Really? i think it's the homework don't worry" and as Sarah said that she realized she actually didn't want to say anything about this weird thing that was happening to her half because she didn't want her aunt to worry... So her aunt stepped aside so Sarah could go down and eat her breakfast and go to school and Sarah did just that except for her thoughts of the tingling and the weird night-vision. Even through the first three classes Sarah noticed how her mind would drift to that thought over and over. "Sarah did you get enough sleep last night? Or are you not feeling well?" Kathrin had asked as soon as it was break."No, no it's not like that it's just i have this thought that keeps nagging me..."

"ya i know what it's like... Do you want to tell me? I find it helps to get thing off my mind."

"Well.. I don't know..."

"what harm will it do?"

"Ok, I'll tell you but just don't tell anyone!! promise!"

"Ok, I promise I will never tell anyone without asking."

"Good. Now do you know somewhere private?"

"ya, come on!" and so Sarah followed her friend to a room where it was a bit dark and damp and there were supplies for cleaning and text books and every thing you would need in a school, but i wasn't tidy at all and thankfully some chairs, so as soon as they settled Sarah told Kathrin her story about the cat and how it's cut disappeared and all of it. Sarah was surprised she felt no need to leave anything out because she thought Kathrin wouldn't laugh and say 'your lying!' even though it had been less than a week they had been friends.When Sarah was done  Kathrin didn't say anything for a while then she said "You know Sarah, i think that you might have something special and it was fate that we were to be together because i had this crazy dream one night that a girl transformed into an animal!! I mean sure i can't remember which but i am sure that that was what happened in my dream"

"really? well at least i'm not the only one with weird things going on... but how is that linked to me and what i told you?"

"well i saw this spark go up her spine then to her head then it spread all over and she was an animal. so i thought there might be a connection..."

"you have a point but we should head to class..."

"ya." so with that the two friends departed and as Sarah was going she shouted back at her friend "meet me here next break!" and then Kathrin went out of sight but she had nodded so after class they met again in the same room and wrote their theories down in one of the books. "we should probably have a copy each.."

"ya.. let's photo copy it.." and so they did and at the end of school Sarah's heart felt lighter and she felt so much happier.

Chapter 5

The next morning Sarah decided to try to use this supposed power she may have and at first she was scared but tried to have super seeing again but nothing happened....At school Kathrin was cheerful but then her face fell when she saw the depressed face of her new BFF. "what's wrong??" she asked extremely worried.

"nothing" Sarah mumbled

"doesn't sound like it... What's up? You know i can handle it."

"well.... I don't know how to say it so here -handing Kathrin a paper- read it"

"erm..... okay....." With each line Kathrin became more and more worried.

"So what are you planning to do about this Sarah?"

"I don't know.... But I know one thing. I have to go to Fantos even if it's this underground cave!"

"Calm down! There's no reason we should listen to this letter."

"WHAT!! How can you say that???? I mean think; my aunt is weird around me and come on! If they'd been looking for me I wouldn't have been in foster cares for so long!! Also what the letter say fits"

"look Sarah I'm not against you but please don't do anything rash!"

"I guess your right..."

Chapter 6  

 The next day Sarah enjoyed the bliss of the weekend.... But some how after lunch she couldn't stop thinking about the letter. Finally in the evening she decided what she was to do and no one was to stop her. that night at dinner she asked her aunt if she could use the cordless phone to call her friend. "sure, sure" her aunt replied. once dinner was done the ran to her room with the phone and made the call. "Hello? who's this?"

"Hey it's me Sarah"

"oh hi! so... what did you call about?"

"well... look I'm planning on travelling to Fantos to check it out my uncle says he thinks a guy in the soilder retierment home knows where it is. I'm gona check what he says and go. i just wanted to see what some one else would say about he plan..."

"well.... I know you should go and see if the letter is saying the truth but... what if it's a trap to like i don't know kidnap you? all I'm saying is don't leave with out saying something to your aunt and uncle or leave them a note!"

"Your right i sould leave them a note i'll make it tommorow. oh and do you want to come?"

"ya! I can't think what I'd do if I though i could help you but i didn't...."  

"It's settled then, meet me tommorow 2 pm sharp; at silkwood park the jigantic fountain area."

"ok."
