This is the book I'm hoping to get published. I would like all my friends on here to have the honor of being the very first people to read it. ^_^

Luvs you guys! ^_^


Prologue

A cold breeze blew through the winter sky. The forest was covered in snow. A full moon illuminated the ground, giving it a silver blanket. A small round clearing with a hill in the middle was covered entirely by the moon’s glow.

    A thick layer of clouds suddenly covered up the moon as a strange creature stepped out into the clearing. The creature had the lower body of a cheetah and the upper body of a woman. The spotted fur that covered her body ended at the neckline and her long, spotted, blond hair draped over her back. Her tail swished back and forth as her four delicate paws padded into the clearing.

    She looked around and then gestured a dozen werewolves to come out of the thicket. The werewolves were carrying nets, ropes, bows and arrows, and dart shooters with tranquilized laced darts. As they came out into the clearing, a strong gust of wind came down from the mountains, almost knocking the werewolves over.

    The werewolves looked up toward the sky. The clouds were moving away from the moon again, revealing the silhouette of a large winged animal. The creature screamed and balanced itself for a dive. The werewolves took one look at the giant crow and took out there weapons.

    The werewolves blew darts at it. The giant crow dodged them with grace. The cheetah woman took a dart from one of the werewolves and shot it. This one stuck into the giant crow’s shoulder. Immediately it began to feel drowsy. The crow’s flying staggered as its eyes fought to stay open. Finally it bowed its head and hit the ground with a terrible thud.

    The cheetah woman slowly removed the hollow stick from her mouth and stared at the ten-foot crow. “We got him.” She whispered.

    At the edge of the clearing, two pairs of eyes, one emerald and the other brown, watched anxiously as the werewolves netted and dragged the sleeping crow off into the woods.

    A small, longhaired, brown and white dachshund held his breath and began to jolt out into the clearing when the red fox sitting next to him swiftly pulled him back. The fox looked at him gently with his large emerald eyes and shook his head. With that they both ran off into the thicket.

Chapter 1

“One more week!” Serenity took a green sharpie and marked off another day on her calendar. She and seven of her best friends had been spending the day in the tree house her dad had built for them way out in the woods at the side of a trail. It was settled in between two large oak trees that collided branches.   
“So, Serenity,” Todd held a large pinecone in front of her face like a microphone. “You are the first one out of all eight of us to turn 13! How do you feel?”       
Another girl, Kim, took the pinecone and held it in Todd’s face. “Todd, isn’t your birthday in a couple of months? How old are you turning, 3?”   
“The ‘Wise Crack’ gig is mine. It is for no one else to use.” Todd threw the pinecone out the tree house window.       
“So, Serenity, if I get you a necklace, would you wear it?” Abigail asked, twirling her long blonde hair with pink manicured nails.   
“I guess. Why?” Serenity said as she tied her red curls into a scrunchie.   
“Because you, like, never ever take that one off.” Abigail pointed to a heart shaped sterling silver locket.   
“Sorry… It’s my favorite necklace.” Serenity opened the locket to reveal a heart shaped jewel that fit perfectly inside the locket a. Silver sparkles glimmered, and swirled inside the jewel like water.    “I keep telling you, dude.” Kyle said pulling a tangelo out of the barrel next to him and squinted his big dark brown eyes. “That rock in there is just hollowed out glass filled with water and silver food coloring in it.”   
Kim rolled her eyes. “Silver food coloring…”   
The two infernal twins, Christine and Alyssa, climbed up the tree house latter and squeezed themselves in between Serenity and a boy named Andy.   
“Hey birthday girl!” The twins chorused.    
Christine and Alyssa were twins, but looked nothing alike. In fact, Christine was taller than Alyssa. Alyssa had long dark blond hair, freckles, and hazel eyes. Christine had short curly gold hair, tan skin, and gold eyes. You would never guess that they were even related.   
“Did you guys already buy the tickets?” Andy asked.   
Each of the twins pulled four movie tickets out of their pockets. “The Chronicles of Narnia!” Christine and Alyssa chorused.   
“Okay, and then we camp out in the tree house tonight.” Abigail pulled her backpack in front of her and looked through it to see if she got everything.   
“I don’t think we can…” Andy said. “It’s going to rain tonight.”    “The news said it would be clear out.” Christine looked out the window. Dark clouds were starting to roll in.   
Todd had poked his head out too. “It was a dark and stormy night… That scratches off whatever we were doing outside.”   
“Man! And I really wanted to do that night hike.” Abigail crossed her arms.   
“Little Miss Princess wanted to take a hike?” Kyle laughed.   
“Oh, why don’t you take a hike?” Abigail pointed toward the latter hatch.  “We can just order some pizza at my place.” Serenity suggested.   
Everyone took turns shouting out there pizza requests.    “Pineapple!”    
“Pepperoni!”   
“Supreme!”   
“Bacon!”   
“Meat Lovers!”   
“BBQ chicken!”   
“Meatballs!”   
Everyone waited for Kim’s request. Andy brushed his over grown bangs away from his face and noted the headphones stuck in Kim’s ears. He pulled one of the headphones out. “What pizza do you want?”   
“Oh, Vegetarian topping.” Kim stuck the headphone back in her ear and started bopping her head up and down and suddenly started singing in Japanese.   
“Okay, we only get two, so let’s draw.” Serenity wrote down the toppings on different pieces of paper. “Kim, let me see you’re cap.”   
Kim was still listening to her music. Andy whipped it off her and handed it to Serenity. “Hey,” Kim whined.   
Serenity put the pieces in and held the cap up. Andy reached in without looking and pulled out vegetarian and BBQ Chicken.   
“Who wanted BBQ Chicken again?” Andy asked. The twins raised their hands. “Nice choice,”After the movies, the eight of them rode their bikes from town over to Serenity’s house that was right at the edge of the woods. Her parents’ owned a farm and about 24 acres of land. Serenity’s mother had a small flower shop in town and her dad was the local vet.   
The farm had a few chickens, a rooster, three goats, geese, ducks, a milking cow, a Shetland pony, and two horses. Serenity loved spending time with the animals, especially her painted horse, Slugger. Her house was a two story  right next to the duck pond. It was white with dark blue shutters and roof and had a large patio that went around the entire building.     
Once inside the house, Serenity called the nearest Pizza Hut and then went into the kitchen and got out some root beer for everyone. She set everyone’s cups down and then scrolled through the movies they could watch.   
“Um… let’s see… Finding Nemo, Shrek 1 and 2, 10 Things I Hate About You, though that’s more of a chick flick. I know Todd will like it but I’m concerned about Andy and Kyle.”   
“Funny.”    
“Can we play some video games?” Kyle asked.   
“Sure,” Serenity got out her Game Cube and PS2. “We have… Jak and Daxter, Curby, Pokemon Coliseum, Mario Smash Bros, Sponge Bob Square Pants, Harvest Moon, and my favorite, Kingdom Hearts.”   
“Mario Smash Bros,” Andy requested. “It’s a four player game, and there are eight of us here.”    “Okay…” Serenity set the game up. The twins were challenged by Todd and Kyle, but the two boys ended up getting their tails kicked five minutes into the game.    
Andy sat on the couch laughing. “Guys, that’s really sad.”            Todd through a couch pillow at him. “You’re one to talk you little book worm. The last time you played Abigail whipped you!”          
 Abigail huffed but Kim smiled. “I’ve beaten Andy.”           
Kyle shook his head and sighed. “Kim, you beat everyone at video games.”           
The entire argument went on for about twenty minutes until the doorbell finally rang.    
“Pizza!” Serenity got up and ran to the door. She opened it to a 17-year- old boy holding a pizza.   
“Hey, Serenity.” The boy smiled.   
“Hey, Patrick.” Serenity waved. Patrick worked at the local Pizza Hut and was Todd’s older brother “How are you doing?”   
“I’m fine, thank you. Hey I heard that you’re turning 13 this Saturday.”   
“Yep.” Serenity was beaming.   
“Well good for you!” Patrick tipped his cap. “And here are the pizzas you ordered.”   
“Thank you,” as Serenity dug through her pocket, Patrick looked into the house and saw the other kids. “Oh, hey gang!”    “S’up, bro!” Todd was still absorbed in his game.   
“Hey, mom said you have to be home by 9:00.” Patrick looked at his watch.      
“Yeah, okay.” Todd shrugged.   
“Hear you go,” Serenity gave Pat the money and a tip.   
“Thank you, have a good time.” Pat handed Serenity the pizza and waved to everyone.   
“See’ya!” Serenity closed the door and placed the pizza on the coffee table.

Chapter 1 continued

After thirty minutes, the pizza was gone and the rootbeer bottle was empty. That was actually Todd, Kyle, and Andy’s fault and the tree boys had to get up and got to the restroom every five minutes. The girls shook their heads as they sipped at their cups as opposed to gulping it down in five seconds flat.   
Lightning and thunder cracked through the sky and startled the children. The house suddenly went black and the Game Cube went off.
   
“Aaaaahhhh!” someone screamed through the dark.
   
“Abigail, was that you screaming?”      
   
“Nope, ask Todd.”
   
“Hey, a lot of guys my age are scared of the dark.”
   
“Man, dude! We were winning that game too!”
   
“Yeah, right!”
   
A light flashed through the room. Serenity came out of the kitchen holding a small flashlight in front of her, her lavender eyes standing out in the dark.
   
“Could you guys help me out? I think there are some candles in the attic…” 
   
“No way! Thunder storms, blackouts, and attics don’t mix.” Abigail interrupted.    
   
“You’re all babies,” Serenity looked toward the stairs. She gulped.   
    Serenity bounced up the flight of stairs and headed down the hallway with the flashlight in front of her. She stalked down the hall. Lightning and thunder lit up and shook the house. Serenity could hear her friends down stairs chatting about horror movies they had seen.           
Andy was barely audible. “So, have you guys ever heard of the Amityville House…?” She  knew that story was going to scare the skirt off Todd and Abigail  but didn’t wait to hear the rest.
    Serenity’s flashlight started to dim and flicker. She flashed back on the other day when her little sister had left the flashlight on all day. Serenity rolled her eyes as the flashlight went out all the way. She put it in her sweatshirt pocket and continued down the hall.    Serenity climbed up the ladder into the attic. At the back of the room there was an oval stained glass window with a picture of a unicorn painted into it and a full moon in the background. Crates, chests, and cardboard boxes filled the room up. A dusty white sheet covered a long mirror in the corner.   
“Okay… Candles, candles, candles?”  Serenity walked up to a cardboard box and started rummaging through it. “Aha! Here’s one.” She pulled a large blue candle out of the box that read “Sea Breeze” on the label. She looked back in the box and puzzled over what was inside. “Huh?” The box was full of giant black feathers. She blinked her full lavender eyes and looked back in the box. The feathers were gone. Instead there was a pile of old bath toys. She yawned. “Man I’m getting tired.”    
    
Serenity saw something out of the corner of her eye slide behind some boxes. She whirled around and stared. A flash of lightning lit the room and Serenity could make out a shadow moving among the crates.  
   
Serenity gasped and backed up into some boxes. She tripped and fell to the wooden floor. Something was slowly emerging from behind the crates. It rose up until it nearly touched the ceiling. Glowing green eyes coldly stared at her. It looked at the necklace around the red head’s neck and hissed. The creature was a giant snake! 
   
Downstairs, the seven friends heard a scream come from above their heads. The kids exchanged worried looks and then ran toward the attic. 
   
Todd slammed the attic latch open but nearly fell of the latter when he saw the snake. Kim pushed him up and the others followed. The teens could see the giant snake coiling up, ready to attack. Kim grabbed a small wooden chair from a corner of the room and started to hit the snake with it. The snake whirled around and stared at Kim. There was a thin line of chains around the snake’s neck. Hanging from those chains was a black stone that was carved into the shape of a snake. The jewel had two smaller green jewels that were the snake gem’s eyes.
   
The two green gems glowed a sickening green and black color. Suddenly, a spark of light shot from the snake gem and nearly missed Kim’s left leg! Several other sparks shot forward, scattering the screaming kids.
   
Serenity was dumbfounded at everything that was happening. Her heart pounded in her chest to the point that it was the only thing she could hear.        
The snake looked toward her and pierced her heart with that cold glare. It frightened Serenity. She couldn’t move. She was in complete shock! 
   
Without even thinking about it, Serenity moved her hand toward her necklace. She didn’t know what she was doing but she couldn’t help it. As soon as her hand touched the locket, something warm ran through her body.
Her necklace let out a blinding silver flare that sparkled and swirled around her like liquid light. Serenity felt herself change. She felt stronger then she had ever been in her life. Raw energy and power filled her senses. Her vision cleared and her muscles tightened. For some reason she could not stand up and was now down on four… paws?   
Serenity gasped. She looked behind her to see a long slender tail that smoothly and slowly waved back and forth. She had white and black stripes that ran down her side. Serenity screamed.
   Her vision was so clear and bright it seemed like daytime in the attic. Serenity could now see the snake more clearly.    
It was black with a dark purple and blue stomach. Serenity saw how long the snake really was too. It stretched from one end of the room to the other and rose up to about ten feet. Serenity assumed this creature was about thirty feet long.
   
The snake looked at Serenity in shock. It hissed and coiled away from her.    
   
Serenity felt a fierce threat creep through her new body. Something was itching at the back of her mind. Serenity automatically started to flick her tail and coil her back. She suddenly opened her mouth and a perfect blood-curling roar shook the house. The snake stopped.
   
A brown and white blur flew off some boxes and onto the snake’s head. “Leave the kids alone, Serpent!” The small creature clawed at the snakes face until he was shook off.
   
“Get down stairs!” The small creature ran up to Alyssa and started tugging at her pant leg.
   
Everyone froze.
   
“Don’t just stand there, go!” The creature started head butting Andy in the leg to get him to move. The kids gave each other startled looks and then started to head out of the attic in a hurry and climbed down the ladder (Serenity pounced).
   
When all the kids were out of the attic the little brown and white animal stood up and took a small pouch out of his green vest. He poured some purple dust into his paw and blew it at the snake.
Fa kastair, Serpent!” The purple dust clung to the snake. A flash of lightning boomed outside the window as the snake disappeared in a ball of light.

TAKKA! *stitchy laughter* biggrin

I just got back from Disney land and I got a boat load of Stitch stuff. We went to a special event at a hotel called "Breakfast with Lilo and Stitch" and ity was hawaiian themed and Stitch came to our table and goofed around with us and signed autographs and we took pics! It was fun! I ate so much pineapple I was sick. XD

The entire time walking around Disney land I had my Stitch plushie sticking his head out of my backpack. If I ever load our pics on my computer I'll share them with you. ^_^

I got a Stitch button, a Stitch keychain, a Stitch baseball cap that looks like he took a bite out of it in the front, and a little crystal cube with a bubble picture with him in it. STITCH FANATIC! XD

Chapter 2

When they were in the living room, everyone sat down in a daze. The electricity came back. Serenity screamed when she saw herself in a mirror. Everyone else screamed by just seeing her. The dachshund from the attic sat on the couch and screamed sarcastically.
   
“What the—” Serenity looked herself over. “What’s happened to me?”
   
“It’s kind of obvious you turned into a tiger.” The dachshund smirked.  
   
“It’s talking…” Abigail pointed.
   
The dachshund got a twinkle in his eye. “All animals can talk. You just have to speak their language. I happen to know four human languages.”
   
The kids screamed again. When they stopped the dachshund cautiously took his paws away from his ears.
   
“Whoa…” Serenity eyed the dachshund. “Who are you?” 
   
The dachshund stood on his hind legs and cleared his throat. “I am Canis Domesticus Dachshund Milo. You can call me Milo.” Milo stuck out his paw toward Serenity for her to shake it.
   
Serenity examined her paws. “Um… Sorry, but my front paws are bigger then you are. Do you know how I change back?”
   
“Easy. Just think of what you looked like before you changed.” Milo winked.
   
Serenity made a huffing sound and then closed her eyes. She thought of her long, curly red hair and lavender eyes. The silver light swirled around Serenity. She felt herself change and become weaker than her tiger form. Serenity rose on her two back legs and stood up right. She opened her eyes and looked herself over. Hands, fingers, red hair, favorite Mickey Mouse T-shirt and jeans. Human.
   
“That was freaky!” Serenity breathed.
   
“I’m waiting for that paw shake.” Milo smiled.
   
Serenity shyly smiled back and then shook paws with the small dog. As soon as her hand touched his paw, Serenity felt something. A tickling feeling ran through her body, a warm, good feeling. Milo’s image showed up in her head and permanently stuck there like glue.
   
The other kids stood there in shocked silence. Todd was peeking over at them from his hiding place behind the couch, Andy and Abigail could barely stand on two feet, and the twins were clinging to each other
   
“What exactly is going on?” Kim shook her head in frustration.
   
“That snake you just saw up there is really a young witch named Serpent.” Milo explained. “She’s bad news. I think little miss pussy cat startled her by making that sudden transformation. By the way, how’d you know how to do that anyways?”
    
“I have no clue…” Serenity stared at her locket.
    
Milo stamped his foot. “I knew it! Unicorn instinct!”
     
The kids stared at him blankly.  
       
“A unicorn.” Milo sighed. “You know. Small white horse with wings and a pointy thing on its head.”
   
“We know what you mean.” Andy huffed. “We just don’t know what you mean.”
   
Milo said it a little slower this time. “Serenity’s… locket… has… a… piece… to… a… unicorn’s… horn… in… it…” Milo continued. “Your world used to be full of them.”   
   
“You mean to tell us that ponies with spears coming out of their heads used to live on earth.” Abigail crossed her arms.    
   
“Not only unicorns, but dragons, phoenixes, Merfolk, fairies, sea serpents, griffins, pegasi, white stags, centaurs. You name it, it was there at one point or another,” Milo explained.
   
“We get plenty of white stags here though.” Andy commented.
   
“You do?” Milo’s jumped up. “They whiped out long ago!”
   
“There not the kind Milo’s talking about.” Serenity was looking through a book she had pulled off a shelf. It read “Fantasies” in gold letters on the front. “White stags were known to be huge deer that could grant wishes to anyone who caught one. I highly doubt we get any of those over here.”
   
“May I see that?” Milo pointed to the book.
   
“Sure, knock yourself out.” Serenity handed the small dog the book.
   
“Why would I want to do that?” he stared at her puzzled.      
   
“Forget it. It’s just an expression.” Serenity shook her head.
   
Milo flipped through the pages of the book, humming a tune as he went along. He suddenly mumbled under his breath. “… okay, ogres look nothing like that… and goblins do not have green skin…”
    
Todd turned to Serenity. “You know… that dog is talking.”
   
Milo closed the book. He thought for a moment and then became serious. “Where did you find that necklace and when? Don’t leave out one detail.”
   
Serenity thought for a moment. “It was about seven years ago, a couple of days after my dad built us the tree house in the woods. I went hiking after dark. I came to two streams that collided into each other to make an X.”
   
“Oh yeah! The X Stream! We used to hang out around there.” Kyle exclaimed.
   

    Serenity continued. “That’s the stream, yeah. Any ways, I was looking for tadpoles when I saw something shining smack-dab in the middle of the X. I reached in and pulled out this locket.”       
“I’m lost.” Abigail threw up her arms in frustration. “There’s a talking dog in the living room, a giant snake in the attic, a magical necklace, unicorns, and a partridge in a pair tree!”
   
“I didn’t say anything about a partridge.” Milo shook his head.
    “What she’s trying to say is, we really don’t get what’s going on.” Andy explained.   
“Welp, what’s going on is that this girl has been personally chosen by the necklace to become the new guardian of Kingdom.” Milo stood there smiling as if waiting for applause. 
   
“Say what again,” Kyle raised his eyebrow.
   
“A guardian. You know, someone who watches over something. You and 9 others are supposed to watch over Kingdom and rid it of all dark magic.” Milo thought for a moment. “In fact…”
   
Milo took something out of the pocket of the green vest he was wearing. It was a small lilac silk box. He opened it up and took out a necklace that had what looked like a diamond dragonfly wing attached to it. Milo moved it back and forth between the kids like he was scanning them. As soon as the necklace came in front of Kim, it started to glow.
   
“Aw ha!” Milo cried. “I knew it! All of you kids are guardians!”
    “What!?”   
“How do you know?” Alyssa asked.
   
“This necklace reacted to this girl right here because she has been chosen to guard Kingdom just like Serenity. Each necklace is different and each one of you gets one. Kim got a fairy necklace,” Milo took out another necklace.
   
This one had a chip from a white antler attached to it. Milo scanned the kids again and this one glowed right in front of Todd. The blond spiky haired boy jumped.
   
“Serenity gets a unicorn, Kim gets a fairy, and you, Todd, get a white stag.” Milo handed the necklace to Todd.
    
“Great, I love Bambi.” Todd mumbled sarcastically.
   
Milo pulled out a necklace with a large fang on the end of it. This one glowed in front of Kyle.
   
“You get a sea serpent.”
   
“Awesome, man!” Kyle examined the necklace.
   
Milo took out a necklace with a faint purple feather on the end of it. This one reacted to Andy. “You’re a Pegasus.” 
   
Next was a necklace with a sharp, pearl white claw. Christine was the one for this necklace. “You got a griffin.”
   
Milo then took out a necklace that was beaded with pearls and the middle was a large sparkling blue one. This one shined in front of Alyssa. “You’re a mermaid.”
   
Milo took out the last necklace. It had a round gold disc at the end of it that had a shiny pink scale in the middle. It glowed to Abigail.
    Milo looked confused. “That’s funny. Why is this necklace glowing in front of her?”   
“What do you mean?” Abigail put her hands on her hips.
   
“You must have gotten the wrong necklace.” Milo examined her closely.
   
“Here, let me see that.” Abigail examined the necklace. “It’s so pretty! I must have gotten something beautiful! Like a dryad, or a wood nymph, or maybe a-”
   
“Dragon.”
   
“What?” Abigail looked at the dachshund.
   
“You got a dragon.”
   
Abigail went pail.
   
The twins laughed. “Abigail is scared to death of reptiles.”
   
“That’s a shame. Dragons are one of the most wisest, respected, and popular creatures known…” Milo didn’t get to finish.    
   
“Fair enough,” Abigail took the necklace and put it on.
    Milo grinned. “I’m so glad I found all ten of you! Oh, wait until I rub this in Peter’s face!” He puffed his chest out proudly.   
The kids looked at each other.“There are only eight of us.” Kim spoke up.
   
Milo gasped and then took a peek inside the lilac box. There was one necklace left in it.
   
“B-b-but, where are the ninth and tenth guardians?!” Milo paced back and forth frazzled.
   
“If you’re looking for ten, why is there only one necklace left?” Serenity asked examining the box. The one necklace that was left was a red pea**** feather. Serenity raised her eyebrow. How could a pea**** feather be red?
   
Milo’s eyes widened. “What?!” The dachshund took the box and looked through it. He gasped and then started digging through his vest pockets. 
   
“Oh no.” Milo moaned as he slunk to the floor. “I lost the necklace. I told Jasper not to give me this job.” Milo sat there with his face in his paws. 
   
He looked like he was about to cry, and Serenity for a second thought she was going to cry too. In fact, a tear rolled down her cheek at the exact same time one rolled down Milo’s.   
    
“Why are you crying?” Andy noted Serenity’s tear.
   
“Oh, I… Uh…” Serenity stared at Milo. “I don’t know…”
