Chapter 2

Beyond Me

”Beyond me, a high school drop out and a orphan. Where do I begin?” they say, Carol stumbling.

Chapter 3

A tricky task

Days later, we are still angry at each other.

I’m angry at Caroline never saying she had no parents.

She’s mad at me for not being educated.

Finally, Carol….. SPEAKS TO ME!?

I’m planning to sleep, drink, relax, have fun. But, as usual, Carol has other plans. She pulls out a book. I realise what it is.

”You know what it is?”

”A… A… A… book?” I say.

”No, you idiot!” She replies.

”It is from the Eerie book dispensary.”

I think of where I’ve heard it before, and My missing page!

My pages say stuff like ‘Weakness’ and ‘Elementmander’.
Caroline opens the book. As I expected, it fits perfectly.

Before we can read, my door knocks and a letter pushes through the bottom of it.

Carol insists we should read, but I deny. Opening the letter, it says

To Pranovy Fisher,

190 Beachball Alley,

To arrive December 20, 2019.

Hello, old friend.

You don’t know me, but I know you.

Find me at :

140 Cave,

Slime Street.

From your old friend, Pilvery Pike.

”Who’s that?” Carol asks.

”Nevermind,” I say, running.

I grab my coat, and we run.

Entering the cave, it isn’t a person, but an animal.

A figure similar to one we’ve seen before peers out from the side.

As soon as it notices we’ve seen it, it steps back.

Something hisses.

3 pieces of hair are on the floor.

”we shouldn’t be here.” I say, but it’s too late. The hisses are behind us, we feel it.
