Reagan Embers stared up at the creepy old house. She couldn't believe she was going to stay here for the whole summer and be with her best friends again. Reagan wondered why Simon and Jared's mom and chosen this place to live. It looked pretty beaten up and very unlike their old apartment.

Reagan was so absorbed by the house; she didn't realize there was something creeping up on her. The creature snarled and that caught Reagan's attention. She spun around and saw a green, creepy... THING. She screamed and began running backwards towards the house. She tripped and pulled herself past the toadstool circle, though she didn't know it. Reagan felt arms helping her up. She turned her head and whacked Jared Grace full in the face with her hair.

"Oops! Sorry Jared," she apologized, her hand flying to her mouth.

Jared blinked a couple of times. Then he realized it was Reagan.

"It's OK. I'm good. What were you screaming about?" he asked.

Reagan pointed to the thing and said, "That."

Jared frowned and heard his siblings coming outside. Then he remembered that people with red hair can See.

"Simon, Mal, Reagan's here."

"Yah, we could hear her screaming. What was it- oh."

"There are still goblins out there."

Reagan raised her eyebrows. But she figured they must be used to seeing these things.

"Guys, what's going on?" she inquired.

The Grace kids all looked at each other. Then Jared turned to her.

"Come with us, and we'll show you things you couldn't imagine."

Reagan thought that was a very un-Jared-ish thing to say but followed them anyway.

"So, what have you guys been up to lately?" she asked, trying to make conversation.

Mallory shrugged and answered for the twins, "Nothing really, just reading, fencing and drawing."

Reagan giggled and then fell silent. They were taking her up to some sort of hidden room.

"You got to promise not to tell anyone," Simon said seriously.

Reagan put her right hand on her heart and lifted her left. "On my honor."

Simon giggled and opened the door. Inside was a study. It wasn't your everyday study. It was filled with books and drawings and other things.

Reagan walked inside, intrigued by the contents. She saw a book lying on the table she walked over ot it and saw on the cover 'Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to The Fantastical World Around You'. She reached out to open it but a little green goblin jumped on it and started to snap at her fingers.

"Get away from it! Go! Get away or I'll eat your fingers!"

Reagan screamed and jumped back. She turned to the Grace's and they started searching for something. Reagan watched as Jared found a bottle of honey and gave it to the thing. The goblin started to guzzle it down and changed into a little man.

"Ah the Grace's have brought a friend, But now the happiness must end."

Reagan frowned.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Mulgarath has a secret cousin, The only one who wasn't killed out of a dozen," replied the little man.

"Thimbletack, how do you know this?" Jared asked.

"Well you see, The Sprites told me," Thimbletack answered.

Reagan had a feeling this was a bad thing, because of the tension in the room and the look on her best friends faces.
