Chapter 4.....
There was something shiny beside the rusty faucet. It looked like gold. I picked it up and realized it was a coin. The coin was bigger than a quarter. It was actually pretty big. It was a very old looking coin, but still had the golden shine. In the front, there was a man figure. The man was holding a bottle on his left hand. On the right hand, he held a book. I couldn't exactly see any writing on the book because the man's hand was covering it up. All I saw on the book was a letter R.
I turned the coin over to the other side. It had the words Jubaga Island carved into it. I never heard an island called that. I put the coin in my pocket. Maybe we haven't studied this island at school... "School!" I gasped.
I looked at the clock. I was already 20 minutes late. "Oh, man! I'm late!" I said. I ran upstairs.
I found Cassie standing by my parent's bedroom door. The door was wide open. Cassie stood still staring at something. I walked up to her and she turned her head. I didn't look at what she was looking at. I just looked at her. "Ron, why is there gold coins all over mom and dad's bed?" she asked me.
I walked in the bedroom and stared at the coins. They were the same one's I found on the kitchen sink. I took a handful of the coins. I was standing there holding the coins in my hand for a long time. Cassie just kept on staring at me. She didn't move or even move her eyes. Her eyes were locked on me and the coins. Suddenly, I saw her eyes fill up with tears and it looked like she was angry. "Ron! I want to know what's going on! I want to know where those coins came from! I want to know where mom and dad are! I want to know where Anne and Daisy are! Where are they?!?!" Cassie yelled, stomping her foot. "Cassie, I don't know what is going on. I have no idea where they are. And we are late for school." I said softly. I didn't want to yell because it was going to get her scared and I didn't want her to have another one of those non-stop crying. "Ron! There is no school today! It's Saturday!" she screamed at me. This got me mad. I knew she shouldn't yell or scream at me. "Cassie! I don't want you to yell at me! Do you understand?" "Don't yell at me!" "Don't yell at me either!!!" I finally shouted and I do admit, my voice even scared me. Cassie started crying hysterically. She ran up to me and hugged me. The coins fell on the hard wood floor. "I just want to know where they are. I'm sorry I yelled at you." she sobbed. "I'm sorry too. But you have to understand, I don't know where they are. I don't know anything about where they went. I have no idea where these coins came from, either."
I picked Cassie up and took her to my bedroom. I laid her on my bed and she fell asleep right away. I walked over to my desk. I sat on the chair and took the coin out of my pocket. I studied the coin for a few minutes. I got tired and lay myself beside my sister.
