Annie woke up with a start. The tree house was here! Annie tore off her sheets and got dressed. She threw some things in her bag. Such as a water bottle, a flash light, a change of clothes(you never know!) a first-aid kit, some ribbons, a sleeping bag, hair bands, and a hair brush. She didn't know why she needed all this stuff but she trusted her instinct.
Annie ran to Jack's room. "Jack wake up!" She whispered. "Jack the tree house's here!"
"No it's not. Go back to sleep" He mumbled.
"I just know its here! Come on!" She said to him.
"Fine." He said in defeat. "Just let me get dressed!"
Annie stepped out of the room and wait for a few minutes.
"Okay, I'm ready." Jack said stepping out of his room.
Jack and Annie walked through the over growth.
"Why did it show up now?" Jack said.
"What do you mean?" Annie said confused.
"Its been six years since we last went on a mission Annie! That's what I mean!" Jack said kicking a stone. "I thought they had forgotten about us.." Jack and Annie walked in awkward silence for a while.
"Do you think Teddy and Kathleen will be there!?" Annie said. It was true that the tree house hadn't appeared in at least six years. Annie was almost sixteen and Jack seventeen. Jack just shrugged in reply.
Annie stopped at the tallest tree in the forest. Sure enough the tree house was there.
"Wow" Jack said. "I forgot how much I missed this place." Annie started up the rope ladder after Jack. It look the same as before. Books piled up everywhere.
"TEDDY!? KATHLEEN?! ANYONE!?" Annie yelled. No answer.
"Hey Annie! Over here!" Jack said. Annie walked over to Jack who was holding a scrap of paper. "Its a message from Morgan!"
"What does it say?" Annie asked peeking over his shoulder. Jack read it aloud.
"This will be you hardest and longest mission yet. -M"
"Our hardest?" Annie asked,
"And longest?" Jack finished "Huh" Annie walked over to a book wide open.
"Ready?" Annie asked.
"Shouldn't we see what the book is first?" Jack asked.
"Nah." Annie said.
"WAIT!" Jack yelled.
"I wish we could go there." She said pointing at a picture in the book.
The wind started to blow and
the tree house began to spin faster and faster.
Until everything was still absolutely still.
