        I have to get of here! Okay I’ll create a portal that goes back to H.Q. I stepped into the portal that I created. When I stepped out of the portal I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. The portal hadn’t brought me to H.Q, it took me to Al Pines Lodge, the place of Jennys passing. The walls were covered in pictures, I realized I wasn’t just in any cabin I was in Jenny's cabin. I got up off the floor and grabbed a picture off the wall.

I rember when we took this one, it was a rainy day and I told Jenny I would do anything thing for her ANYTHING. So later on she got her foot stuck in a mud puddle just as it started pouring. The puddle was in the middle of the road,“Help me! A cars coming!” Without thinking I ran into the road pushing Jenny, getting her unstuck. But it wasn’t enough, the car still didn’t stop. It’s head lights were blinding and Jenny was too scared to move, “JENNY MOVE!!” I yelled at her knowing we only had seconds left. “I can-can’t!” I could tell death had us in his clutches. “I won’t leave you here!” I was so scared but wouldn't leave her. Not like this! I looked at Jenny and smiled, “I couldn’t wish for a better friend.” “Me neither.” The was a huge bam, I felt pain grip my body as everything went black. When I woke up I was in the hospital, “So she be okay right doctor? When can we get her out of her-Shes awake! Scarlet honey, our you okay? Do you need some water? Are you hungry? Do you-” “Mom I’m okay. How’s Jenny?!” “She's really weak, broke arm, broke leg and a cracked rib. But the doctors said she be okay.” She was okay after a couple of weeks, “Wow your brave!” I can still remember her say when she saw me. From then on we were not just cousins we were best friends. In the picture me and jenny were smiling in casts and scraped up faces. “I wish you were still here…..” I say out loud wondering what it would be like if she were still here.

“How do you know she’s not still here?” Says an unfamiliar voice.

“Whos there?” I ask shuffling around the room trying not to come back to the team with a bullet through my head.

“I’ll tell you who’s here, the one whos about to break the truth you never knew. The truth you were never told.”

“Wha-what do you mean?”

“I mean Jenny isn’t dead, She's very well alive.”

“Your lying!”

“Chew on this, your parents never let you see jenny when she died, She never had a funeral, Jenny was just fine the day before, no fever, no nothing. So how could she die of a sickness? It doesn't make sense right? Because it’s not true. Hate to break it to you.”

“No….that's not...I don’t believe you!”

“You don’t have too, listen to this.”

“Where am I?” I eminently reconized jennys voice.

“Don’t worry your in good hands, I’m Doctor Stayce.”

“What are you doing to me?!”

“Everything is under control.”

“Doctor her heart rate getting too high at this rate we be able to continue our experiment.”

“Give her another I V, if that doesn't knock her out double it!”

“Let me go! Don’t worry this won't hurt at all.”

“LET ME GOOO!!”

“If you weren’t being so difficult I wouldn't have to do this!” The recording started to cut out but I was able to hear a small squill.

“What are they doing to her? Revel yourself!” I yell.

A woman in a chinese fox mask and sleek black hair walked out of the shadows.

“Our we friends now?”

“Where is she?!” I created a gun and pointed it at her.

“Tuff crowd….”

“ANSWER ME!!” I screamed at her.

“First we make a deal, I’ll give you all the information you want as long as you take this.”

She held out a vile with something glowing in it.

“This just ensures that if I need your help with something you'll help me.”

“How do I know it’s not poison?” She took the vile and drank some.

“See, I’m not dead.”

“Yet.”

“Hardy har har, now take it or the deals off.”

I gave her a worried glance, “You can trust me.”

“Yeah coming from the person who just told me my dead cousin is alive!”

“Listen, do you want to see her or not?”

“Okay, okay fine! Just give it to me.” She handed me the vile.

What if she’s lying? But if she telling the truth there's a chance Jenny still out they're? I have to try! I looked down, “Not very appealing.” I grabbed it out of her hands.

“I have to go but if you need me call my name.” She started to run. “Wait!! You never told me your-”

“Kitsune!” She yelled as she ran and disappeared. Dont worry Jenny I’m coming for you!
