Part 1

It was another Thursday and the 3 girls who had been driving to Sydney every second for the past 3 months were at it again. After noon came and they met in their usual spot, hopped in the car and drove away singing to DAAS and a selection of 80's Music Dina recorded from a selection of CD's she picked up along the Way. Bailey, her room mate and best friend whom everyone called Bails because she thought her name sounded too much like a guys name, sat excitedly in the front seat as she did every trip and chatted away about how much she loved seeing them, of course stopping when she noticed Dina was strangely quiet.

"Whats up hun?" She asked worryingly, as Dina was always chatty and chirpy. But all she did was make some sound that wasnt even determinable as a ford.

"Dina! wake up!"

"Hey? Sorry Bails... I... im concentrating."

"On what?"

"Oh.. nothing... just.. Ill tell you later"

Ezmae, or Ezzy as she was called started chatting about the host of the show. Sexy, talented, and so, undescribable. Bails just joined in leaving Dina to her thoughts. Thoughts of something that she'd planned for weeks before. One hand let go of the steering wheel and moved to her chest where she grabbed lightly onto the talisman that hung around her neck. A talisman she'd created from an old book she'd purchased from an old lady selling books on magic and witchery at a markets stall.

She didnt know why she bought the book... she never really believed in these sorts of things but for some reason... something she couldnt explain... she was drawn to the old, dusty torn book with old leather bindings.

She let go of her new charm and continued to think about the whole thing, briefly picking up a few words being spoken by her friends. The drive seemed to go quicker than usual. Almost as if something was slowing down the world, but they were traveling the same speed. Even when standing outside the studio waiting to be let in and directed to seats, a strange aura surrpounded her that no-one else seemed to feel.
