Olivia showed up at Bloor's the next day wearing a trench coat, sunglasses, and all her hair put under a hat. Emma almost couldn't stop herself from laughing. Apparently her new friend went all out on every occasion. Even just sitting around, watching the old, crumbled school.
"Well we are going to have to hide so the Bloor's don't spot us." Olivia told Emma as the staked out a spot directly across from the school, inside a small group of trees between two store's. "Maybe I should have worn army colors."
Emma chuckled, but then grew serious. She yawned. She hated waking up in the morning this early when she had the chance to sleep in. It was a Monday, but their city had no school for whatever reason. The few hours passed with nothing to report. Noon came around, and Lysander and Tancred would arrive soon. Emma almost stepped out of her hiding place when she was something.
An old, skull-like man in a wheelchair was rolling out of the west wing door. He seemed to be murmuring to himself, but Emma couldn't really tell, because she was so far away. The old man wheeled himself in front of the school and just stared at it for a while.
"Who is that?" Olivia wondered.
Emma shrugged and kept her eyes on the old man. He called out in an old, distressed voice, "Weedon!" (sorry it its spelled wrong, I don't have a book on me).
"What do you want?" A grouchy man exited the west wing door.
"Open it," The old man screeched pointing at the door to the ruined castle. "I want to go in there!"
Emma didn't hear what Weedon said next, but she knew he was shushing the old man because he was being so loud. He then went over to the door, grabbed a set of keys, and opened the door with a loud, rusty creak.
"If only Tolly hadn't been so stupid as to rebel, we'd still have a castle." The man more or less yelled.
Emma gasped. Her father was the reason the castle was in ruins? He'd burnt it down? But why? Did he not like the Bloor's? Now Emma was very interested in this situation. She'd be very attentive from now on while she spied.
Once the two men dissapeared, Tancred and Lysander arrived. They looked around for the two girls, but couldn't find them. Emma and Olivia stepped out of the trees and told the boys about everything.
"Why was the Tolly thing so important?" Olivia wondered.
"He was referring to my father. He was the first out of my whole family to live anywhere near this city. He died a few months ago. My Auntie thinks its the Bloor's fault. Now I know it must be revenge. It has to be."
"We'll keep watch and tell you if anything happens." Tancred promised. "Give me your phone number and I'll call you later and tell you if I hear anything, Emma."
Emma nodded and gave Tancred her number. Luckily, Emma had brought a notebook and a pencil to record what she saw.
"Good-bye girls!" Lysander waved as Olivia's mother pulled up near where they stood.
The girls waved back as Olivia's mother pulled away from the curb. Emma felt a strange feeling pass through her, as if someone where watching, and looked at the west wing of Bloor's. She swore she saw someone looking out a window, but then there was nothing. It only left Emma to wonder.
what'd you think? Well, since I can't read your mind, you need to review. Remember, at least 4, or the next chapter won't be put up.
