Chapter 2
That next morning Eli was so excited! She grabbed her suitcase and put it by her front door. She put on a cute pink tee and some denim shorts. She got everything else ready and was about to walk out the door when she noticed that there was a ring on her bed.
What is this? Who put this there? Eli thought to herself. It is kind of cute! I guess I can wear it to the island. It was a cool ring with a ruby and gold trimming around the outside of it.
"Eli you are going to be late for the bus if you don't hurry!" Eli's mom said from downstairs.
Eli quickly ran with her suitcase and her other things outside to the bus stop.
Eli quickly ran with her suitcase and her other things outside to the bus stop. She walked onto the bus and looked back to see where Logan was sitting.
It turns out that there was a spot open right next to him! Eli was really excited, so she walked back to his seat. "Hey Eli, are you as excited about this trip as I am?" Logan said with a grin.
"This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait to see all of the beautiful things on the island!" Eli said.
"Ow!" Eli yelled.. Her ring was tightening around her finger.
"Eli! Stay calm I will get Mr. Winston!" Logan said.
Mr. Winston ran to the back of the bus. Eli was crunched up and sobbing from the elaborate pain. "Logan get the wire cutters out of the trunk!" Mr. Winston exclaimed.
Logan ran to the front of the bus to get the wire cutters. "It's gonna be ok Eli. We have to hurry before it cuts off your circulation!"
Logan ran back to give the wire cutters to Mr. Winston. He pushed the cutters under the top of the ring and cut with the top of the cutters. A small amount of blood spattered onto the floor. "AHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS!" Eli screamed as kids scattered around the bus seat.
Mr. Winston tried to cut again and the ring snapped off. "Eli are you ok?" Logan asked with a pale face. (He doesn't really like blood)
"I don't know…the ring just started to get smaller." Eli said with a worried look and remembered that she had never seen that ring before today. Eli sat back down with tissues in her hand so the blood wouldn't get everywhere. "everyone give her some air! Go sit back down." Mr. Winston said.
"Eli are you alright now? You gave us quite a scare back there." Mr. Winston said.
"Yes I am alright now I think." Eli whispered.
After Mr. Winston left Eli looked at Logan. "Logan can I tell you something? Well that ring was on my bed this morning I have never seen it before."
"Wow, that's really weird. Maybe it's a family heirloom or something and your mom or somebody didn't know that it would do that." Logan whispered.
"Yeah, you could be right. I will try and forget about it for a while. Also I have to ask you something?" Eli asked.
"Sure, what do you need?" Logan questioned.
"I was wondering …….."
"Hey look we are at the boat docks!" Logan yelled.
Oh well, I will ask later when the time is right. Eli thought. Everyone piled off of the bus to get on the boats.
