::Chapter 6: Questions::

"Should I ask Mom about this?" asked Kara, gesturing to the old photo album tucked safely under her arm.

Adriane shrugged. "I don't know. . . but I do know that our Moms know more than their telling us."

Emily sat on the bed. "Isn't it obvious? They know something that we don't. They know something about. . . magic. . ."

Kara and Adriane stared at her. "But we can't be too sure about that." Kara said.

Emily stared back at them. "I know! But it all fits together! First Mom said that she, Adriane's Mom, and probably Kara's Mom all talked to animals in Ravenswood. And they had magical stones. Doesn't that sound a little familiar?"

Adriane nodded. "You have a point. But do you think it'd be smart to tell them about our magic and stuff? I mean. . . what if your Mom was telling the truth? What if they really were only pretending?"

Emily sat silently. This was way too confusing. Should they tell their Moms about their magic? Adriane did have a good point. What if after telling them everything about the portals and Avalon and everything it turns out they knew nothing about magic in the first place? They would have a lot of explaining to do if that happened.

Emily sighed. But if that wasn't the case- if their mothers did know something about magic- maybe they can work together or something.

"So what are you gonna do?" asked Adriane, taking a seat on the edge of Kara's bed, next to Emily.

Emily shrugged and looked over to Kara. "Maybe we should wait a while. Maybe something will turn up and we can fit the pieces together ourselves." Kara said.

Suddenly they heard a bunch of laughter outside the door. "Oh my God! Kyle! That freak! He was listening to what we were saying!" She rushed to the door and swung it open.

Sure enough, there was Kyle and his friends Joey and Marcus. They were cracking up on the floor. "Oooh! Mom might know something about magic!" Kyle said sarcastically. He continued to laugh. "You guys are such seventh graders, playing magic." He and his friends snorted with laughter.

Kara was fuming with anger. "Shut up, jerk! She yelled. "If you ever say a word about this your gonna wish you were never born!" She slammed the door and locked it.

"Oh no. Oh no." Kara repeated under her breath.

Adriane rolled her eyes. "Just pretend we were only pretending. He won't say a word."

Kara shook her head. "It's not that. Didn't you see who was with him?"

Adriane stared blankly at her.

"Marcus! I'll never live it down."

Adriane rolled her eyes again. "Oh come off it, Kara. You'll get over it."

The three girls all laughed.

"Mom. . . Tell me what you know about Ravenswood." Emily said the next morning. She had just come back from Kara's house a few minutes before.

Her mother, Carolyn, turned to look at her. "Why, honey, you probably know a lot more about the preserve than I do."

Emily shook her head. "Not that. More about the things you did with Adriane's Mom." She glanced up at her mother. "And Mrs. Davies."

Her mother's eyes widened. "H-How. . . ? Mrs. Davies must have told you yesterday." She said smiling nervously.

Emily shook her head. "No. We were looking through some old photo albums. And we found this." Emily reached into a paper bag and pulled out the photos that Kara had lent her.

Mrs. Fletcher's eyes widened. "Where. . . Oh my goodness. . . where'd you get these?" she asked, as she picked up the first photo, the one with the three of them standing next to eachother.

"Not just that." Emily said. She picked up one of photos. It was the picture of Adriane's mother, the one with the clear view of the wolfstone.

Emily pointed to the stone. "I think I know what you were up to."

"Honey, I don't know what your talking ab-"

"Mom, yes you do. Explain."
