Chapter 3: The letters

The next morning, I woke up with the breakfast bell. I went to the kitchen and there was only one plate on the table. Tom probably had gone to work and I had no idea of where Jason was. I ate my breakfast in silence and thanked the boggart. I went to the same hill I had gone the day before. I stayed there for an hour when I heard the spook's bell. There was no one home, so I decided to check out who needed help.

I had totally forgotten what happened the last time I went to the spook's bell because my mind was somewhere else. When I got there nothing happened, though. It was just the postman. The man gave me two letters. One was addressed to Tom and the other was addressed to me. That was strange, I never received letters. I was curious to read it, but I got even more when I recognized the handwriting. The postman left and I ran back to the house. I sat in one of the couches and opened the letter.

Dear Alice,

I wish I could be writing just to know how things are, but there are other important things to discuss.

I know you've been living with Tom and I truly hope you are taking care of him. I'm sure you both have grown up into two wonderful adults. But here in Greece, there have been some kind of commotion. It's seems that there is some kind of force awakening in the north of the County and I am afraid both of you will have to deal with it.

It will be dangerous and you should ask for Mr. Gregory's help, he might know with what exactly you will be dealing with.

I also would like to point out that I have a strange feeling that Tom is in danger, but I don't know what could be threatening his life. Please look out for him. You know how stubborn he is to admit he needs help or protection, but it doesn't matter how much he argues with you, please, protect him.

Yours faithfully,

Mam

PS.: If you are allowed to enter the library, look for a book called "Demigods". Maybe you could read it. It will be very helpful, I believe.

I read the letter over and over again. Tom was too blind to see the truth, even his mother had noticed, but what really shocked me was the fact that there was something threatening the county. Tom and I would have to leave and destroy it. The problem was that Jason and Mab were after Tom. If they heard anything about this threat, Tom I would not stand a chance. I went to the library to find the book Tom's mother told me to read.

It wasn't hard to find it. It was a big book, but most of its pages were in blank with the exception of the first forty. I sat down and started to read it. The book was written in Latin, some part of the handwriting was a little erased and there were a few drawings. It was about demigods, sons of gods and humans. They were powerful but not invincible. Each chapter was about one of them with important information, such as who were their parents, strengths, and fears, how to defeat, history and where they lived.

In the end of each chapter, there was a definition of what was done with the demigod. Most of them were defined as dead and how they were killed. The others were defined as asleep, so it only could be one of them. I studied them hard to at least have a notion of what we were going to face, soon or later.

I was still mad at Tom because he didn't believe me and we hadn't spoken with each other in 2 days, but I had to be professional. Tell him what was going on and what happened with Jason the night before. I just needed to wait for him to come back home. I stayed in the library until I heard the door opening. I got down as fast as I could and saw Tom and Jason together laughing. I could feel the hatred running through my blood. Calm down Alice. They're just morons you have the bad luck to live with. First, without Tom, where would you be? I told myself. Right, be calm and act like nothing happened. I walked towards them

"I've got to talk to you, Tom."

"Sure Alice, what is it?" he answered after he stopped laughing.

"I mean I need to talk to you alone," I crossed my arms.

Tom looked at Jason and they started to laugh again.

"Hey!" I shouted. "I'm talking to you. Something serious is about to happen."

"Like what? I'm going to kill my own brother," Jason mocked.

"No, asshole. Your mother wrote me a letter. It arrived today with a letter from Old Gregory. She was very serious in the letter."

Tom finally stopped laughing.

"My mom?" he asked.

"Yes and here is the letter Old Gregory sent you." I said giving him the envelope.

Tom took it and went to the living room. Jason excused himself and went to his bedroom. Tom and I sat in the couch and he started to read the letter. For a moment everything was silent. When Tom finished it, he got up and looked at me.

"What my mom wrote to you?"

"She said a strange force is awakening in the north. She told me to read a book about demigods. There a few of them asleep, so it could be one of those. She also said we would need Old Gregory's help," I said.

"Right… I'm going to need that book. Can you get it to me?" he folded the letter.

I nodded and ran to the library to get the book. Once I was back, Tom read it. When he finished, he closed the book and handed it to me.

"What? What happened? What does Old Gregory want?" I asked

"Mr. Gregory has been fighting with this demigod. He has been entering Mr. Gregory's mind. He is very sick because of it. It takes to too much energy from him, but he is hiding information from the demigod. So for a while, Mr. Gregory has the situation in kind of his control, but we don't have much time," he said.

"Ok, but we can't leave Jason here, alone."

"Of course we do. He can go with us, tough, if it is what you prefer."

"No, he is dangerous."

"We can't leave him homeless, Alice. I'm sure he won't do anything here."

"Fine. I'll ask for the boggart to keep an eye on him and we need to come back before Sunday. Jason can't be alone here."

"Do as you wish, Alice. But hurry up, we need to go soon."

I went to the kitchen and asked for the boggart's help, to keep an eye on Jason and not allow him to go to the eastern garden. Done that, I went to my room, grabbed my cloak, locked the door and met Tom in the main hall. We, then, left in direction of Anglezarke.
