Chapter 1

Ian

I woke up this morning and it was a normal morning; well so far. I saw Gabe running through the hallways and a whole bunch of gnomes following him.

"What's going on?" I asked, after running up to Gabe.

"The gnomes are coming for us!" Gabe exclaimed, completely out of breath.

"Us who" I asked, worriedly.

"You, me, CJ, and Suki!" Gabe proclaimed.

"Go get CJ and Suki!" I ordered, before turning towards the gnomes.

Gabe went to go get Suki and CJ, while I fought the gnomes. The gnomes were tough to beat. When Gabe and Suki came back, I noticed that CJ wasn't with them.

"Where's CJ" I questioned, looking around, worriedly.

" I can't find her" Suki answered, sounding scared.

I fought off the gnomes as much as I could. Then Gabe, Suki, and I looked around the whole school while the gnomes were attacking the other students. After a while I was getting really worried about CJ.

"We looked all arouned the school, she must be somewhere!" Ian bellowed.

"Wait!" Gabe exclaimed.

"The one place we haven't checked is headmaster's office".

We all walked to headmaster's office door when we heard people talking. I put my ear close to the door and heard CJ talking. I heard headmaster's voice too! There was also a voice I did not know. It sounded like a woman. Her voice sounded peaceful like CJ's, but yet sturn like headmaster's.

"Dad you can't do this" CJ shouted.

"You have to understand Candace, it is for your own protection" headmaster insisted.

"But mom you can't let Dad do this to me, they're my friends" CJ cried out.

"No, sweet heart this is for your own good", you have to do what your father says" insisted the woman.

When CJ was about to say something, Gabe sneezed. We all looked at Gabe, then back at the door. We heard someone walking to the door. When the person opened the door we were already gone. I was talking to Gabe and Suki on the way to the observatory.

"Can you believe that?" I asked.

"Yea head master is CJ's dad" Gabe proclaimed, sounding suprised.

"It has to be a trick, CJ's father can't be headmaster" Suki pleaded.

I thought about it, and then it hit me. It all made sense. Head master did seem to treat CJ a little better than the rest of us. Also headmaster knew alot of our plans and CJ never got sent to the office.

"Guy's I think we need to dig a little deeper in to this investigation ourselves" I replied.

"Don't tell CJ that we know about her little secret" quoted Ian.

"I want to know more before we start accusing her of doing things".
