The birds outside were singing, indicating the start of a newer day, this particular bird was inputted, signaled by a scratch, when abigail looked out the window there was a four legged raptor like feline, seconds later it was gone ''okay... time to get out of here now'' she graduated to the kitchen. Which was, by the way, full of chaos.

"GRAAH! GET OVER HERE YOU UNHEALTHY but delicious. SNACK'' there was a tall pink and blue cat. Chasing after a two legged burger toy. The cat stopped. ''Abigail! Good morning-" she grabbed at the squeaking toy ''I made- pancakes!'' she grabbed a plate and gave it to abby ''by the way my name's cotton candy- everyone calls me c.c.'' she tried once more when the toy jumped onto Abby's head ''that's called 'borgore' they're not mine, they just help me in the kitchen.'' she grabbed it finally ''anyway sit and enjoy, ill be with you shortly''

As she went to bite on her plate. Abigail had a weird feeling as she looked over.''I thought you were gone''

He exchanged an offended look. And sighed. ''Wish. But... I'm stuck here. Unlike you, I've been stuck here for a few years now. I can't leave whenever i feel like it, like you''

''Why not?''

He stared blankly at the table, snapping over back in Abby's direction, ''thats. For later. Besides, i still want to introduce the others, even though i can tell you met c.c. and the burger'' he states, holding back a giggle ''after class, met me in the lobby, 12 on the doc. ok?''

Abigail stood up to grab her things "ok. I'm gonna be late. Catch ya later!'' She strapped on her stuff and went out to the bus stop. It was her first day and of course she knew no one. But a girl beside her spoke.

"Hello. You seem new! Im Rylie"

"Yea. My folks just moved here. We're staying at the hotel. At least until we can afford an actual house. Abigail by the way."

"So. You're staying at the hotel? Downtown?"

The bus hit a speed bump. Frightening them both "yeah! Why?"

"Well. It's known for a lot of crimes and- weird things... I would be careful"

Of course she's never forgotten the whole thing that her uncle had gone through. But something. About that place gave her bad feelings, strange. Besides the fact that she had quite literally met a ghost the other night. Maybe her uncle was onto something. ''Right- do you know anyone who tried to, i don't know... investigate into that? How come they had never closed down if that's the case''

''The evidence is not real enough'' rylie scoffed ''hey! How about tomorrow we go ghost hunting! Your place of course!''

''You can do that?''

''I wanna prove I am not a sociopath. Of course I do! Silly!''

''I will have to think about that'' something told Abby that things weren't gonna end well with her two new friends. She never felt more anxious.

That afternoon she ran back to the as fast as she could, her brunette hair suddenly misplaced when she got there ''hey mom!'' she says going up the stairs

''Hello hun, how was the first day of school here?''

''Nice- well i made a friend, she wants to come over tomorrow, can't explain now i gotta-'' she stopped herself ''homework.'' she resumed on the stairs and into her room, nothing but panic surrounded her all the way through ''where are you?!''

And after about five minutes of stressful searching mom came in, a bit shocked. She wondered if Abigail was alright

''They are doing a show downstairs, but i'm guessing you don't want to come?''

Figuring that her other new pal was just hiding or not around, Abigail gave up the search and agreed to come. Hoping honeydrop's show would clear her mind.

In fact. They weren't that bad, a kitsune with magic abilities, his assistant,a dog of tri color purples. And a pink and purple lop, who gave Abby a look when he noticed her, what was he thinking?

He stood, frozen. The other two attempted to grab his attention. Stage fright? She noticed he was staring straight at her

''Gotta go, i'll be in my room'' but by the time she got up, they were already dragging him off the stage, Abigail re-routed herself over there ''stop! Don't do that!'' she shifted her attention

''Why are you scared?''

''I wasn't expecting you!'' he hissed

Abigail froze, recognizing the voice ''it's you! But... how?''

''Is something I can do ok? It's how i try and fit in around here''

Abigail breathed in heavily ''there's this girl i met in school- she wants to come over''

''Okay? Great to know i'm not your only friend'' sam had gave her a pat on the head

'No but she-''

''...rylie''

How'd he know?

''Rylie.... Knows the truth, and wants to tell law enforcement, it's merely my fault, but how am i supposed to know who to trust'' he sighed. Maintaining eye contact ''I just wanted someone to care about.'' there were tears in his eyes. ''I've lost everyone, my friends, family... and all i've got is you, surely though you're going to leave.''

''Truth? About what?''

A voice calls out ''Sam?!''

''And i'm very sorry. Things aren't really going well today'' he stood up and walked away into the direction he was called, shortly before smiling back. ''And about your friend.... I'm working on something. Don't worry about me''

Abigail hugged him "don't be lying''

Her name could be heard in the background

''Its your mom''

''.....i know, stay safe. Ok''

He exchanged a confused look ''oksy'' he pushed her gently, walking away

Back in her room she noticed her phone. A message from rylie

''Mom said we could visit today!'' one hour ago

This was not good...
