Authors Note:
Hello reader and or readers, I would just like you to know that some of the chapters will be short and well nothing really happens, expect for a cliff hanger at times (I like those a lot, it makes me think harder) so I hope you don't mind that. ALSO by the time you're reading this it will be completed and should be updated every Saturday, if not Friday or Sunday. I've changed my mind for 1 chapter every week, so I decided there should be 5 chapters released every week! My friends wanted me to try this because I like mystery, and they think I'm good with plot twists and doo daas like that! If you like it great if you don't good for you, not everyone likes things I make, besides I am kind of..."new?" to this. I hope you Enjoy!
