Chapter 5......
After about half an hour, I suddenly woke up. I didn't know why, but I had the urge to go to the kitchen. So, I got up and walked down the stairs.
Once I got to the kitchen, I looked around as if looking for something. Then, my eyes started drifting to the dinner table. There was a note. I picked it up and read it.
If you'd like to find your family,
Then search for the clues and you will see:
Look for something that has hazel eyes,
Say its name and you will rise.
Rise you will and you'll begin your quest,
Then soon after that, you will find the rest.
I read it three more times. I just couldn't get it. Hazel eyes, hazel eyes, hazel eyes, I kept on thinking. "What has hazel eyes?" I whispered to myself, "Where do I rise? Where will I go?"
I looked around. No one was there. Who left this note here? I asked myself. I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like something broke. I turned around and saw something going into the bathroom that was next to the stairs. I started walking up to the bathroom door slowly. I passed a broken lamp on the ground. Mom will kill me for this.
I heard another noise. The noise sounded like my cat, Ted, screaming. I ran into the bathroom and found Ted hiding in the corner. He looked terrified. "I can't handle this alone." I said to myself.
I ran upstairs to my room to tell Cassie about the note and the noises. But when I got there, she was gone. There was another note on my bed.
I have taken Cassie also.
Right now she is with the rest of your family.
Just figure out the poem.
Once you figure it out, you'll have your adventure.
Once finished with the journey, you will be reunited with your family.
I looked at the note with horror. "How could I be so stupid leaving Cassie alone? I should have taken her with me!!" I said to myself, "Well the only way to get my family back now is to find what has hazel eyes, say its name then I get to be reunited with my family." I let out a long sigh.
I took my pajamas off and put on my pants and my green T-shirt on. I walked downstairs. I looked around for a little while looking for something with hazel eyes. I looked at our family picture on the living room side table. I realized Daisy had hazel eyes. "Daisy!" I yelled out. Nothing happened. I thought, Maybe if I say her name softly, it'll work. "Daisy," I said softly. Still, nothing happened. I closed my eyes and sighed. When I opened them, I saw another note lying beside the picture. It said: Sorry. Wrong one. Daisy isn't the name that will make you rise.
I sighed again. I walked out to the backyard. Chestnut, our German Shepard, greeted me with a happy bark. I walked up to her and petted her head. I stared at her. "That's it!" I said. "YOU are the one that'll take me!" Chestnut barked again. "Chestnut!" I yelled out.
All of a sudden, I felt my feet beginning to feel numb. My body felt like it had struck something. It felt like rocks were thrown all over my body. I let out a scream. I closed my eyes tight. This went on for only seconds, but it felt like hours.
I fell on the ground. I opened my eyes. I was no longer in my back yard. I was now on a ship. "How'd I get here?" I asked myself. I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was Cassie. "Cassie! How did you get here?" I asked her. "Well, it's about time you got here." She gave me a dark look. Somehow, it didn't seem like this little girl was Cassie. There was something different about her. "Why are you dressed like that?" I looked at her. She had on a pink fluffy dress. She had a purple bonnet on her head. And her straight red hair was now blonde and curly. Her hair looked like Goldilocks' hair. "Because I want to dress like this," She said with her chin up. "But why?" "Stop asking questions! Let's go!" Cassie pulled the sleeve of my shirt. "Why are you acting like this, Cass???" "I TOLD YOU! STOP ASKING QUESTIONS! WE HAVE TO GO!" She hollered. She pointed to an old crate. "Get in there," She demanded. "Why?" "Someone told me that once you get here I am supposed to put you in this crate. Of course I have to obey my elders." "Then why aren't you obeying me?" She didn't answer me, she just pointed to the crate. Now, I had noticed something missing. It was Sarah; Cassie always brought Sarah everywhere she went. When she doesn't have Sarah with her, she would always scream until you found Sarah. But, right now, she didn't seem to notice that she didn't have Sarah with her. "Where's Sarah?" "Who is Sarah?" She gave me another dark look. "Your doll," "Oh, that stupid doll. I threw her out in the ocean. Hopefully, sharks ate her." It wasn't like Cassie to say these things. Sarah was the most important thing in her life. "GET IN THE CRATE!" she suddenly hollered. I opened the top and got in. Then, she did something unpredictable. She shut the top and nailed it shut. I heard her say something, "Take him to Lord Gordas!" Then a man saying, "Yes ma'am," Who is Gordas? I thought to myself. And why is a man obeying Cassie as if she had power over him?
I felt the crate being picked up. A few minutes later the crate was thrown on the floor with a loud THUMP.
