CHAPTER 3: The Note

CARRIES POINT OF VIEW:

I was still scared after seeing that shadow figure at the window. Who the heck was that? Maybe Katrinas right...I'm just parniod.

"I'm going to bed," I told everyone.

"What?" Kenny cried out. "It's only eight p.m.!"

"I know," I said, rolling my eyes.

I turned on the lights to Katrina and my bedroom. I went to my bed. There was a note. It read:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Dear Carrie,

Please come meet me tonight, at midnight. Please go to the abondoned park at that time. Trust me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What the heck? I thought. Someones pulling a prank on me...most likely Kenny. But, curiousity was killing me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seemed like hours before midnight came. I was now at the abandoned park. It was spooky, being her at mindight. The old, broken swings set swings rustled in the wind. The wind was blowing my air into my face, but I didn't care. I stood right under the monkey bars. I looked at my watch..it was quarter after mindnight. Who ever wrote this note better get her soon, or I'm going to be pissed, I told myself.

I sighed, as I heard something behind me.

"unpatient, my dear?" A voice asked behind me

I jumped. "Oh, Mr.Goldenburg, what are you doing here?"

"Let's get right to the point, hon." Goldenburg said. "First of all, I wrote that note."

He was still wearing that dark black cloak, I badly wanted to see his face.

"Why?" I said.

"Because, I have answers to your questions." He replied.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"I know who you and your brother and sisters are." Mr.Goldenburg explained. "Why do you think when your father, Jude, died he wrote a note saying please forgive your parents for what they've done?"

"How'd you know about that?" I spat out.

"I know many things about your family, my dear." Goldenburg said.

"Like what?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"That Kenny, Joey, Kyle and Katrina aren't your true blood brothers and sisters," Goldenburg said, spitting each one of the words out.

"LIES!" I screamed. "They are too my brothers and my sisters."

"Did you ever wonder who Jonsey, Caitlin, Nikki and Wyatt were, my dear?" He asked me.

"STOP CALLING ME "MY DEAR!" I shouted at him. I was now pissed.

"and yes I do know who those four were. They were my mom and dads best friends." I said, feeling proud to finally prove him wrong.

He gave an ugly laugh. "Some friends! Did you know that your so called brother Joey was adopted?"

"WHAT?" I shouted, my eyes getting big. "You're lying. We just met you, you can't know more about my family than I do."

"That's where you are wrong." Goldenburg said. "Kenny and Kyle are the only ones who are true brothers in your whole family."

"You're insane, making up these lies," I said, raising my eye brows again. "I just met you. Don't think you can tell me who me and my family are."

"Ok, let me tell you a little bit about yourself." Goldenburg said. "You used to have a dog named Mello, but she died when she ate chocolate. You have a birthmark on your left side of your stomache. You never had a boyfriend, but are currently looking."

My eyes got big. "What are you, a stalker?"

"no," Goldenburg said laughing, "I'm a friend,"

"How can I trust you?" I asked him.

"That's up to you to trust me or not, dear. I can't convince you." Goldenburg said.

I sighed. I didn't know what to do. Would I trust a stranger?
