Note from the author- I'm sorry that my chapters have been so short. I just don't have a lot of time to write them.
"That'll be 10.95." The cab driver said. "Here you go." Sky said, and paid the animal. She wasn't in a great mood, but she felt better than before. One thing that she was really happy about, was that she was back on her modeling job again.
"Thanks." The animal said, and drove off.
As Sky walked to the town gate, she wondered what this town called "Here" was like. Her boss said that he was very busy, and said that the town was called, Here. She was wondering if her boss was going loopy, but apparently not, because, she was here. She was in front of a gate that had Here on it.
She couldn't turn back now, so she walked to the town. As the town gate's doors were opening, she could see a red figure, just standing there, and it looked like it was waiting… waiting…. Finally, the gates doors were completely open, and she saw the red figure, running toward her!
"HHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It screamed. Then, it stopped. It stopped right in front of her. It said, "Hi! I'm Sophocles. Can I show you around Here?"
Sky caught her breath, and said, "Well, I'm just looking for the hotel, and I think I know where that is. Isn't it right over there-" But before she could finish her sentence, Sophocles ran off.
"Okay… I'll just walk over there myself…" She said. When she got to the hotel, she went to the desk, and rang the bell.
Immediately, a worker wearing red shot up from behind the desk. "Howdy miss!"
Sky stepped back. It was Sophocles. "Sophocles! Wha- What are you doing here?!" Sophocles grabbed a key and said, "I work here. I get a lot of bells each day, because I ALWAYS do my best and hardest. That's why I live in a mansion. You should come over there one day. It's always tidy, and-"
"CAN I JUST HAVE A ROOM, PLEASE?!?" Sky blurted out. "Well, sure! Why didn't you say that before?" He handed her the key he held in his hand, and said, "It's on me, toots."
Sky waved, and darted to her room.
That night, Sky checked her e-mails on the laptop she brought with her. "Junk… Junk… Junk…" Sky said, but finally, she said, "Oh my gosh! It's a letter from Penny!" From reading the subject, Sky could tell that this note wouldn't be the best one she had ever received from Penny.
The subject was: "My nightmare". Sky read the letter from her best friend. This is what it said:
"Dear Sky,
I hope your modeling is doing good. I heard what happened to your leg, and I'm glad that you're better. The reason why I'm messaging you, is because my brother, Jackson is in grave danger. He was taking a walk, when he saw something. He picked it up, and saw that it was a treasure map.
When he saw where the treasure was, he called me up and said that he was leaving for the treasure tomorrow. He said that he didn't know what the treasure was, he just wanted a little adventure. When he told me where it was, I almost fainted. It was across one of the hardest seas to cross. That's right, the Combat Sea. Then, he told me it was in Redd's forest! Do you know how many carnivores live in that forest?
I tried to stop him, but he always thinks I'm such a worry wart. So, he left. I'm not even sure if he's even alive! I would go, but only if you were there. I can't go out there alone! So, I was wondering if you could come back to Charmton, and come with me to find my brother.
I'm counting on you. I leave next week.
-Penny"
By now, Sky's jaw was completely dropped. Should I go? She wondered. Or should I stay?
