Jess sat up in bed. She automatically reached for her journal that was laying on her nightside table. She switched on the book light and began drawing. No thoughts passed through her head, the pen glided across the page. Adding a lighting strike here and another layer of what looked like leathery skin there. Amanda poked her head out from the top bunk. She knew better than to speak when Jess was drawing. She patiently waited for her sister to finish her latest vision. The pencil finished one last shading and lifted from the page. This was a silent signal to Amanda that she was finished. Amanda quietly climbed down from her bunk and sat beside Jess on her mattress. Jess snapped herself out of the daze and examined the drawing closely. It was a detailed drawing of Chernabog on a mountain. In the picture it looked as if Chernabog was part of the mountain itself. "Wow," was all Amanda could say. She could only imagine having a dream (more like a nightmare) about this hideous beast.
"So much happened," Jess said, her voice quivering. "I-I was only able to capture this," She indicated toward the drawing. "And that's perfectly fine, sis." Amanda assured her. "We better send this to Finn ASAP."
"Yeah, maybe it has something to do with the awaking." Amanda grabbed the journal and ran towards the computer room. Jess followed close behind. Amanda shut the door to the computer room. It was actually a small walk-in closet, but Mrs. Nash had stuck on old monitor and keyboard in there, that the girls took turns using in fifteen minute shifts. The curfew required the computer to be shut down at ten p.m but no one was there to stop them. Amanda turned on the monitor and pulled out the keyboard. She instructed Jess to make a photocopy of the journal while she logged into her email account. Amanda typed out a short description about Jess' theory and then Jess got on and explained her dream as best as she could remember. Amanda copied the file of the journal onto the email and clicked SEND. Then much to their surprise, the computer erupted a sound that could only be compared to the sound of a jet when it takes off. Amanda had forgotten to put the computer on mute and Jeanie had plugged in speakers for some reason unknown and the sound blared with the volume of a police siren. "GIRLS!" Amanda heard Ms. Nash yell from down stairs. She could feel the viberation of Ms. Nash hurriedly climbing up the stairs. She kicked the door open. Her hair was tangled and frizzled. She also had some weird, greenish cream on her face. It accented nicely with the red her face was turning. "What are you doing on the computer?! Do you brats even know what time it is?!" She grabbed Amanda and Jess by their hair and marched them into their room. She flung them through the open door, causing them fall on the sticky carpet. "You little devils are not going to leave this cursed house for another two weeks! And while your her you'll do all of the other girls' chores!"
"But-but what about school?" Jess asked meekly. "Who cares about school? You will do what I say!" Jess only whimpered in reply. "Now get to bed now, or so help me I'll-" The girls had no need to hear her threat, they nearly jumped into their beds. "Good night, Ms. Nash," They said bitterly in unison. "Night, brats." Ms. Nash said, slamming the door. Jeanie still lay asleep like a sack of rocks. She snored loudly. But that wasn't the reason that the two Lockhart sister couldn't sleep.
