The Caller!

What will their fate be if they pick up the Phone?

Nancy and Bess scrambled up the old staircase leading up to the attic of there great grandmothers secret hideout which only they knew about hence the 'secret'. "Bess are you going to chicken out on me again?" Nancy grumbled trying not to sound as annoyed as she actually was. Her heart was racing and her adrenaline was pumping, she shivered. She was so siked about being able to come to this place and Bess had been so easily persuaded to come but that goes with the saying "easier said then done". This was definitely not the first time Bess bailed out.

Both of the girls bolted down the stairs, Bess was racing ahead.

"I told you we should have gone up the stairwell they weren't looking for us there!" Nancy whispered furiously to her best friend. Just mentioning her plan that Bess had chickened out on.

"It doesn't matter they are after us..." Bess whispered then Nancy heard her whimper and a big thud at the end of the stairs she whirled around to tell one of her best guy friends inevitably Bess had finally flipped all the way down the stairs. He walked gently down the stairs with Nance. They gingerly picked her up and carried her up the flight of stairs she had fallen on. Nancy just ranted at her and rolled her eyes. This chicken out thing was really part of her personality and Nancy really couldn't argue with it. Sadly, Bess also had a craving for adventure when she felt like she could handle it.

She sighed as she saw Bess a few feet below her trembling with fear. Nancy athletically jumped into the attic disappearing from Bess's view. She gave in and darted as fast as she could to catch up with Nance. Nancy carefully drew her always-faithful flashlight out of her bag and pushed the button. The beam only fell on the strange and cool looking objects. Then the beam stopped on one object.

Nancy gently cradled the book Bess stopped trembling and said "Cool book what is it called?"

Nancy answered "Phantom" and with that the conversation ended, they both jumped down all of the steps and rand until they both dropped to the ground. Nancy knew something about the book was special if her great grandmother had guarded it from everyone except her and her best friend.
