"Klaus has a what!" Duncan exclaimed when I first told him about the note I found. We were in our dorm a couple mornings later, before breakfast.
"A stalker." I said while Duncan sat down on his bed. "See, read it." I handed my brother the note. He read it and looked at it weirdly.
"Hey," he said "this is the kid you asked me about a few days ago…Ross M. Houm."
"Yeah," I said "But like you said, that person doesn't go to our school." I took the note back from Duncan and went over and sat on my bed. "In fact, I don't think this is even a person at all."
"What do you mean?" Duncan asked. I bent down and stuck my hands under my bed and pulled out a photo album.
"Remember this?" I said and handed it to him. "We grabbed it on our way out of…well…you know."
"Yeah I remember." he said and opened it to a page I had marked. I went over and sat next to him on his bed. I pointed to the picture of "Ross M. Houm".
"Who's that?" Duncan asked.
"Fiona Widdershins." I replied
"Who's Fiona Widdershins?"
"She's the one that this person is writing to." I said. "Ross M. Houm is an anagram for Mushrooms, and this Fiona person is a Mycologist. A Mycologist is-"
"I know what that is…" Duncan said "Have you told Klaus about this?"
"No," I said "Not yet. I was going to this morning at breakfast but then what if she's an old friend of his and I tell him about her and they meet and…"
"You're afraid that they're going to get together?" Duncan said and I knotted.
"Just think," I said "What if Quigley all of a sudden came back to life and appeared. Violet might start liking him and not you." From talking about Quigley, tears started to fill my eyes.
"Isadora," Duncan said and put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "They're not going to get together. You two are together and you love each other too much….But if you really don't want to tell him then you don't have to. If you don't tell her then we have to find her our-selves and give her a piece of our minds."
A/N: I'm sorry for the short chapter. I guess i was a little too lazy right now to figure out how I'm going to write the next thing I have in mind. lol...Next chapter up soon!
