• Chapter One

    tab The weekends sucked. Why may you ask? It sucks when no one calls you or there to comfort you about your problems because all you do is either work or over work yourself until all you think is work work work and that’s it. There’s not much to do especially since it was the beginning of a long summer vacation.
    tab The way I get along with my current friends are…how can I say this…on neutral ground. We’re walking on but I see to be getting on nerves I shouldn’t be stepping on. Sure I know most of my friend’s secrets from the littlest to the darkest parts of their minds, but in the end I see myself alone. My best friend Ash is one of those people who I can say have had a good friendship with. She is a full-blooded Mexican chick with a bit or should I say a lot of Aztec blood in her. She’s pretty emo considering her artistic view, bloodiness description in her job and the way she acts around people that she doesn’t like. No one believes me when I say she’s a hitman, which she really is and a really good one at that. She does it for fun and sometimes because it’s just her job. I wonder sometimes how she can stay so neutral at school while planning the demise of her foes and rivals. She’s well known through the school to and she’s a good person to talk to if you know you want a person who doesn’t really listen and everything you say goes through one ear out the other.
    tab Lately though I don’t really contact her. I seem to myself being very clingy with always texting her and stuff. She has enough on her plate with her family problems and stuff; with me clinging to her so much isn’t a good thing for her. But yeah; lately it’s just me on the computer writing out my thoughts, sometimes just browsing around for in thought soul searching. Sometimes, I think I don’t have a soul which is silly because if I didn’t have a soul then I wouldn’t be able to think the thoughts that go through my mind right now.
    tab “You have one new mail”, the computer interrupted my thoughts. As I checked the e-mail that was sent to me I felt out of place. The message was sent from someone I had no idea of. Reading the message I skimmed through the message. The message was pretty blunt and stuff with its red and black font.

    tab Bored with your life already possessed? Awww too bad. I’m here to educate you and give bad news. As always, my job is to tell you that you are not normal. You have a curse. Just a plain curse nothing too overly big that its life threatening. As an added bonus you’re in the game. To keep this short and sweet things will change your life until the games ends and don’t worry your little pretty head over anything because we will be meeting so. As always my job is to say you are not normal. You may seem human but you have something most people don’t have and that my little one is a curse. Not like witch craft or anything just a plain curse. No one’s after you for it. But let me tell you the game starts now. Some simple rules you have to follow. Oh and sugar do a favor and follow the rules as follows or the consequences aren’t so pretty and we wouldn’t want to see you out of the game so soon. Oh before I forget congrats you got the Bloody Mary Curse, use the curse in any way you can to win. Plus contact me if you need help like I would even give it to you.
    -X-

    Name of the game: Deauth
    Rules are as followed:
    1) You are not to lie at all
    2) Should you lie you must immediately tell the truth to the person said lied to
    3) Should you lose your entire symbol you die as quickly as possible
    4) Don’t defy us or else punishment will be released upon
    5) Keep this secret private don’t tell anyone outside our kind
    6) Other rules will be given throughout the game


    tab Ok now that’s weird…X wow where have I heard that before. Sure there’s the letter x but that in the alphabet. I’m definitely sure I have heard somebody say they knew somebody by the name of X before. Who was it again was it Ash or was it one of those crazy rumors I keep on hearing at school and in the chat rooms. I’m going to have to keep my ears open I guess. Oh well for now I guess I should just ignore the e-mail for right now. As soon as I turned off my laptop I was about to go out for some fresh air until I saw a package with my name on it and the monogram X and J on it.
    tab Ok clearly I shouldn’t have even take the package and take it into my room and stare at it for what felt like hours but was actually twenty minutes and poked at the package. The package seem simple nothing much but a plain brown box about the size of a small radio with a beautiful monogram of the letter X and J, oh well what’s the worse that could happen.
    tab So carefully taking the precautions of it being a bomb I opened it gently and slowly. Once the packaged was open in there was a pretty looking necklace. No wait it’s not just pretty looking it was special looking. The necklace was beaded from small clear and white beads intricately except for the exception to the end where there lay a stone of purest white and a ribcage holding the stone with a pendent of a dragon in the middle of the ribcage. Weird as it may seen I thought I saw something similar when I was at Momo’s house. Oh well whatever it sure was pretty there was no question about it I knew it was for me and it was from X. Was the necklace part of the game I was in and had no idea of its content.
    tab A note fell out as I lifted the necklace from its tissue prison. I blinked not once but thrice at the note. It was on an old parchment of very thin material. It was so thin I had to delicately get the tweezers and put it on my hard book. There was light white scribble on it so miniscule that I could barely see it. For some reason though I turned off the light in my room and shut every light off from my room. Then nowhere I lit my favorite candle near the note and then appeared in the color of blood red writings and a message from the person who sent me the package.


    ‘Yen-kun good that we got this package to you as soon as you were entered into this game. My brother and I are the penalties of the game here to explain and maybe help if you pass our judgment fairly well enough. My brother and I chose to gave you this necklace courtesy of my brother X who’s seem to take a hateful liking of you. We know you very well and you can say you know us well enough maybe less or maybe more then you seem to think. The necklace ensures your lifeline and calling for our help or rule enforcing. The pendant for now will be your symbol every time you lie the pendant will disintegrate little by little for every lie you tell and should you tell the truth the pendant will restore itself. Remember for every lie there lies a consequence ahead. Wear this necklace everyday and see what surprise you and your friend will experience tomorrow. Tonight you will meet you curse Mary. Good luck and shall this paper burn away and your eyes will never see this again.’

    tab Suddenly the night appeared my curtains open and the light of my room shinning ever so brightly again. I looked at my hard book and like the note said the note burned away leaving a bit of black ash behind. Ok mando weirdness, but whatever it seemed it took me two hours reading the note and the time right now was five past midnight. So either I could sleep right now or I could wait and see what happens.
    Seeing that I wasn’t tired one bit I took out one of my favorite past time books “Edgar and Ellen” series I happily read for about twenty minutes and then I felt something was wrong.

    tab In front of me was a black reddish robe. Which it looked like it was from the old Victorian time. And the robe was floating a foot from my face. When I looked up the rest f the way there was a girl no nor a girl not even a women a young women around the age of her late teens was staring at me. The lady’s face was clear white and pale, with bloody red as the color of her lips and piercing golden brown eyes. Her hair was pulled back in a intricate braid design and she seemed neutral and somewhat perky when she noticed I took notice of her.

    Quote:
    “I think maybe I’m getting prank now”, was the only thing I could mumble before the ghost like figure spoke.
    Quote:
    “So you’re my partner, of all the people they had to give me they gave me a weak and feeble girl”, her voice sounded like a beautiful harp but the way she directed towards me seemed like she was very displeased with what she received.
    Quote:
    “So you little girl tell me what is your strategy for us to win”, she smiled at me cheerfully.
    Quote:
    “This can’t be happening”, I kept chanting out loud hoping it would all just be a dream and from the mysterious message to this I just kept chanting and hoping everything would go away.
    Quote:
    “Are you done in your little denial world little girl because if your done I would like to discuss some matters with you”, she said ever so perkily.
    Great, so this wasn’t a dream at all especially since I slapped myself repeatedly until I felt the stinging red pain of the slaps and stills there was the ghost in front of me.
    Quote:
    “Well now that you’ve realized I’m real you silly. We now have to set the boundaries I will be telling you have to follow”, I just turned my back clapped twice turned the lights off and swallowed my sleeping pills and fell into a deep slumber, while ignoring the ghost who kept trying to keep me awake.
