The next day during lunch break, Nicole noticed a girl sitting by herself. Something about her didn't seem right to Nicole. Then she noticed it. It was the book she was reading. Its title was written in Gothic manuscript, the writing witches used. Powerful Items through the Ages, it read. The girl looked up from her reading and stared at Nicole who averted her gaze in another direction.
Nova sat in History, taking notes on the current lesson when a piece of paper landed on her desk.
Meet me in the library after school.
Nova looked for a signature, but there wasn't one. She looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to her. All stares still averted at the teacher's presentation. Her eyes turned black and the piece of paper dissolved in her hand, as she went back to taking notes on Colonial America.
At 3 sharp, Nova was
awaiting her mysterious guest by the library doors. All of a sudden,
she was grabbed from behind and pulled into a dark part of the
library. "What the he--" she stopped at the sight of the four
sons of Ipswich. "Who the hell grabs people like that anymore?"
Nova exclaimed but Tyler silenced her by placing a hand over her
mouth. She did the unexpected and licked his hand, causing him to
pull it away rapidly and wipe the slobber on his slacks. "Anyway,"
Pogue began, "have you caught a lead on what form he might have
taken?" Nova shook her head. Suddenly, Nicole busted into the
section with Scott right behind her. "Guys I think I have a lead,"
she exclaimed. They all shushed her and she gave them warning glares.
"I saw something suspicious today. There was a girl reading,"
Nicole began.
"Yea like that's not common," Reid
interrupted and Nova smacked the back of his head causing him to
flinch. "Go on dear sister," Nova replied.
"Before I was
interrupted, I saw this girl reading an old witchcraft book written
in old Gothic manuscript," Nicole finished.
"So? She could
have been reading it for an assignment," Pogue butted in.
"What
was the title?" Nova asked intrigued.
"Powerful Items through
the Ages," Nicole answered. It struck Nova.
"I've read
that! But how did she get it? It's supposed to be in the restricted
section, away from students," Nova questioned. They all shrugged.
"They could have snuck in," Scott said.
"Nope, they have
2 guards on day watch and 4 on nights, they lock the doors tightly,
and have security sensors on the section," Nicole answered.
"How
do you girls know?" Tyler asked.
"Attempts," Nova said
dramatically. The guys tried to stifle their laughter.
"Anyway,
the only way we could get through is with using," Nicole finished.
They all stared at each other.
"So maybe we might have a lead?"
Caleb said. The twin girls nodded.
HAPPY LABOR DAY!!! I'm gonna try and put up everything to Ch. 10 today )
