- This is Me -

Okay, I guess I'm going to do this. Where to start, ok my name. 

 Hello I am Cassadey Maret, I know I know, it's a mouth full. Just call me Cass, Sadey, or as my mom calls me Dorey. Okay, just call me Cass. My mom is Darthy Maret, brother is James Maret (only one with a normal name), and my dad is Vaya Maret. I think Vaya is a girls name and his story behind the name is kinda cliche (I think I got it right). He says they wanted a girl. See? Cliche. My brother likes to try to scare me, He's 15. I'm a year, five months, and twenty two minutes younger. Gosh, how do I keep up? Let's see, anything else? Oh, right! My birthday is coming up in a week, I'm super excited! My mom is finally going to let me choose what I want for dinner. It's only on my birthday she let's me do that. Oh, and she said I get a cat. I've been asking for a cat for the longest time, and now I can have one of my choice. It's going to be black with white paws. My mom has been searching for it for the past five weeks since I've told her it's my birthday soon. 

Oh, well I have to help with dinner now. I'll get back soon. This is now my new blog.

- My bday day -

My new cat is so CUTE!!!! She has this little "meow", and it's so quiet and soft and adorable! I'm glad I got her.

 As for my bday day? It was awesome! For dinner we went to Red Lobster. I got two plates of snow crab legs, a chocolate milkshake and vanilla ice cream with cookies. Of course, I had to bring my cat. They didn't want to allow him though, we had to hide him in my mom's purse. It was fun because we were like spies with a secret suitcase of documents. We fed him some crab while he was peeking out, my brother couldn't stop giggling. He almost gave us away because the people next to us heard him and was suspicious but luckily they had a little girl who liked animals so it was easy to convince them to not tell the manager.

 Done here for night two, I need to get to bed now.

- My new friend -

I made a new friend at the park today, she really likes my cat. Her name is Taya. I invited her over to my house and she said yes. My mom doesn't know her, or, well, she hasn't seen her. She is acting strange, so is my dad. My brother says she's imaginary. I don't like that.

 I met her outside and led her in. Then I grabbed a snack for both of us and we went to my bedroom to play with my cat. "What's his name?" Taya asked. I told her I just called him Kitty, I hadn't chosen a real name yet. I asked if she wanted to name him and she smiled. "How about Mayor?" she said. I nodded. Mayor it is!

I hadn't thought of naming my cat Mayor, with imaginary friends they say what you think so she couldn't have been imaginary. However, she did decline the snack. I guess she wasn't hungry. After she left, my mom looked worried. When I asked her why, she ignored the question. Yeah, that was just weird. Maybe I'll try tomorrow but I need to go now. We're visiting my aunt, her name is Sharly Claire. She's not married so she still has her last name. She's my mom's, err, "removed" sister I guess. I call her Aunt Share. We're going to be staying the night so I gotta pack. The next update will be soon, bye!

- My Aunt's new House -

Okay, so my aunt moved last week. We had trouble finding her house. Mayor fell asleep on my brother which my mom and I laughed at. My dad couldn't look because he was driving so I took a picture for him to look at later.  Mayor later woke up and started asking to go outside. We put a leash on him and pulled over. Mayor almost immediately noticed Taya. It was strange because she was just standing there, watching as if she were waiting for something. We both went to talk to her. When she saw us though, she ran. Mayor pulled the leash out of my hand and ran after her. Then I ran after Mayor, my brother ran after me, my mom ran after my brother and my dad ran after my mom. It took about a mile and a half before I caught Mayor. Me and Mayor just watched Taya continue running. I then realized it probably wasn't that Mayor needed the bathroom, I think he saw Taya. 



"Welcome, welcome!" Aunt Share greeted us, we saw her outside waiting for us when we drove up. My brother raced me and Mayor inside. Mayor won first place, he's a fast kitten. After we were inside, Aunt Share gave us a hug. Mayor was jealous, he got on his hind legs and tried to scratched my shirt. Aunt Share picked him up, "and who are you little kitty?" she asked. 

"That's Mayor" I said proudly. 

"Mayor? That's an odd name. Are you sure you don't want to name him Mittens?" she asked.

My brother chimed in, "her imaginary friend named him" he said with a smirk.

"If my "imaginary friend" named him, then how can he even see her?" I smartly said to him. 

As soon as I finished that sentence, my mom called us to grab our suitcases. She said if we don't, she'll leave them out there tonight. We both went out to grab them while Aunt Share got an old cardboard box and some nice soft blankets for Mayor. He easily liked Share. And her house, it wasn't big and fancy but it did have a few crawl spaces here and there, two floors, and a big backyard with a garden and a swingset. The first floor had the living room, kitchen and the dinning room, along with a small hall that had a basement at the end and a couple restrooms. The top floor had a longer hallway, that one had the actic at the end. It also had all the bedrooms, with a big clock in the middle of two of the back bedrooms. 

 Well, me and my brother are going to help my mom and dad unpack. Later!

- She's here -

I woke up last night to the sound of Mayor at the window, scratching. When I looked, no one was there. That's what I thought at least. It wasn't until I heard a knock on the door that I looked again. This time Taya was here. It shocked me to see her at the door, but it only took me a couple of seconds to know why.

"Oh wait.. it's raining" I whispered, shortly before she knocked again. This time my mom heard it.

"Coming!" she called when she reached the bottom of the stairs. But Taya continued to knock. She only stopped when everybody was awake and running to the door. Except me. I stayed to watch, and I saw her sit down.

However, although she was still there.. "There's no one here. Strange." I heard Aunt Share say. Then the door shut. And everyone went back to bed.

At about 2:50 am, Mayor started meowing again. I got up and saw Taya again. However this time, I decided to let her in myself. After making sure that everybody was asleep, I quickly and quietly sprinted through the hall, down the stairs and to the door. Then after one last check to be sure nobody was up, I opened the door.

- What's going on? -

Then after one last check to be sure nobody was up, I opened the door. Am I dreaming? Nobody's here. I closed the door and locked it quietly then return to my room. As soon as I started getting in bed, a knock on my window. When I looked, Taya. Hanging from my window sill like it cost her life to get in. So, I opened my window and helped her climb inside. 

"Quiet, they're unaware of me being here." Taya whispered.

"No kidding!" I nearly yelled. I kept quiet. "They didn't even see you at the door, how'd you do that?" I asked, then so she knew what I meant, "how'd you make yourself invisible to them?"

Taya merely shook her head, "Your mom will explain someday. I cannot. Watch who you trust though. There's a couple looking for you, they want to kill you." 

"Who are they? What do they look like?"

"Can't say. All I know is that they know you're here. Be careful around them."

"But how can I know it's them?"

 "Your dad doesn't get along well with them. Your mom will avoid them. Your brother will pretend he can't see them."

Like that. I fell asleep. Was it really a dream? No. My window is open a little. Taya's gone. What's happening?

- The couple -

I stayed away from them. They came. Sometime after lunch I think. I didn't say "hello" or anything at all. Then they came inside. As Taya said, my dad didn't get along well with them. They argued. My mom tried her best to avoid standing or sitting near them. My brother didn't answer them, instead, he either stayed quiet or responded to his phone. 

Finally, they broke. After many questions and hints, they asked about me. Asked where I was. My parents both lied. Since my aunt wasn't home - luckily - they used that as an exuse. Then they were told to call the number given to them when we - well, my aunt - got home. As soon as they left, the number was torn up and thrown away.

Mom called me down. I refused, how did she know? I still needed to wrap my head around what happened. And why.
