Simon and I are walk the path looking around to see if there was no one following us. Untill someone grab Simon month and pull us to the side. It was Jared.
Simon started to hit Jared "Stupid. Stupid. Trying to kill me and Lily over a stupid book!"
"Shush" Jared said "They're right over there."
He turn tome and stand up "Lily" I gave him a sad smile and grab him and pull him into a tight hug and he return the hug with the same force.
"I can't do this." Said Simon "Let's just get to the house and give it to them."
Jared turn to Simon "It's not at the house. It's in my backbag."
"What." Simon whisper. "Just give it to them."
"They just kill us anyway and they want Lily too."
What.."Me! I didn't do anything to them."
"Lily, I don't know why."
"Just give it." Simon yell.
They both started to roll around fighting each other. While I was yelling at them to stop. When I notice the goblins have return.
"The book." The leader yell.
We all started to run to the house and when we were in front. One of the goblins grab Simon leg and scratch him.
"Jared. Lily. Help me " Simon yell
We grab Simon arms and pull him in the circle.
Then Mallory came. "There you two are. You know mom put me in charge. Lily what are you doing here."
"Mallory get in the circle fast. Jared yell.
"Don't you yell at me and I'm not running anywhere and stop throwing rocks at me."
"Mallory run we're being surround by goblins get inside the protective circle." Simon yell, holding his injury leg.
"Oh god Simon, He got you into this too and you Lily. For the last time there no such things as goblins." But was cut off when she was getting attack from the goblins.
Jared went to tell her where the goblins are at while I went to help Simon with his leg. Jared throws a rock to Mallory. "Jared." I yell
He runs to me "Yeah."
"Why did you throw Mallory a rock."
"It's a circle to show you the goblins and other creatures that are invisible."
Mallory went into the protective circle "Now you believe me." Jared told Mallory as she nodded her head.
We all went to help bring Simon into the house. He was screaming. Mallory lifted his pants leg and we saw a bit and it was horrible.
Jared came back with defection and towels. Everyone was screaming while I was trying to wrap-up Simon leg.
"Sit tight. I'll be right back." Jared yell, grabbing the book and going upstairs.
"Jared.!" Mallory yell. "He gonna get us all kill." She turn to me "Lily keep pressure on Simon wound."
I nodded "Go after him Mallory."
Simon wound was clean and we could hear Jared and Mallory fighting.
They both come down the stairs "You do stuff and we pay for it." Mallory told Jared.
Jared had enough "Hey, if you're so smart. What do you think we should do."
"There freaking goblins want this book. I say we give it to them."
Something green, fat and rat looking came sliding down the stair and grab the book. Mallory and I scream when it fell on the floor "Noo. Back off. The book stay's here."
Mallory try to stomp on the creature but Jared kept saying stop. He turn to me "Lily, get honey from the kitchen."
I look at him as if was crazy "What?"
"Just go do it please."
I ran to the kitchen and grab a bottle of honey. I ran back and gave Jared the honey. The creature started to turn cutier. "It's ok." Jared told it.
Mallory scoff "There so many things ' not ok with this. Why can we see it without the stone"
"Because he's letting you guys see. Thimbletack what happens if goblins get the book."
Thimbletack said next creep me out "You die, I die, We all die, bye bye."
I look at Jared. "What does he mean we're gonna die."
"He means we all die." Jared answer looking at all of us.
"He can't know the secrets. He can't. The ogre can't be trusted."
"He right. We can't give it to Mulgarath. He will just kill us anyway and take Lily.
"Wait" Mallory interupped "They want Lily. Why?"
"Of course they do." Thimbletack said drinking more honey Jared gave him.
"What you know. Tell us." Jared demand.
"Arthur daughter Lucinda had a best friend name Lily Conner. Lily was beautiful and very kind to all. But one day they were playing and Lily left the circle. The goblins took her."
"Did they find her." Simon ask.
"Yes a week. She wasn't harm but was scared. Master ask her questions about the ogre and she said that the ogre thought of her of his daughter but she was scared of him. Years later she got married and had children but the ogre stop watching."
"Wait you're telling me that the ogre wants me because of my grandmother." I ask.
"Yup."
