Neil and I were walking through town. Neil was pestering me about why we didn't hang out much this summer. "I already told you, Neil," I said, "We've been camping alot."
"Alright, dude, I find that extremely hard to believe." he said.
"Why?"
"Your sister, Courtney, camping. Just let that sink in for a moment."
I sighed, he had a point. I shook my head, "I'm sorry, Neil, but I can't tell you."
"Why not, Norman?!" he pouted.
"Because I barely understand what's going on as it is, and me telling you may put you in danger!"
Neil was about to say something when my phone rang. I took it out to see it was Wybie calling. he never called me, Caroline did every once in a while but never Wybie. I looked to Neil, who said, "answer it."
I did what he said. I said, "hello? Wybie?"
"Norman?" he sounded frantic, "I-I don't know what do do. I-I didn't know who to call. C-Caroline.. she's-she's..." He started sobbing over the phone.
MY eyes went wide, "Wybie, calm down. tell me what's happening. What happened to Caroline?"
I could hear him choking back tears, "s-she's gone."
My eyes grew even more wider, "What do you mean by 'gone?' Like how waddles went missing?"
"No, no. She left a note, she ran away. So-something about the blood chalice."
I thought for a moment, "Ok, ok. Did you call the other's?"
"No... you're the first one I called."
"Alright, call the other's and we'll set up a holo-chat, with those phones Nick gave us."
I hung up and looked at Neil saying, "I'm really sorry,"
and I ran off to my house.
