Hey guys! Guess what! I'm snowed in at home! How awesome is this? Of course, I use the additional free time to write the next chapter of the story. By the way, thanks a lot for the nice feedback. Please continue to write reviews and let me know what you think.
But now, let's go on with the story…
"And? Do you feel anything?" Stone asked nervously. After Cassandra had read out the spell, nothing really happened.
Ezekiel was still standing there, not sure what to think about everything. He wasn't "feeling" something, but he could tell that there was something going on in his mind. It was as if he knew what to do.
"I…." He turned around. "I know where it is".
Cassandra grinned. "So it did work!"
"Shhhhh…" Eve said. She could hear voices coming upstairs. They had to hurry. "Just go and get it… whatever it is. I'll get the door ready." She put out her phone, but while dialing Jenkins number, she didn't let her librarians out of sight.
"It should be under the bed" Ezekiel said and went towards it. "I still don't know what it is… but I'm just… sure" Jake and Cassandra observed him as he bend down to look underneath the bed. There, he saw it.
And he started smiling. He had been right.
As he pulled out the bag, Cassandra and Jake made big eyes. "See, a bag filled with gold". Indeed, he was a bag in his hands, and they could tell from the weight that there has to be something like gold in it.
"Yes, you were right. Now, can we go please?" Jake whispered. The voices were already good to understand and the owners have to be in this room by any minute.
"Door's open" Eve said, pointing at the light framed door of the closet room. They all went towards and through it, and not a minute too late. Just as they disappeared, a woman and a man came into the room, wondering why their closet room door was open.
At the library
"What did I tell you? You should listen to me more" Ezekiel said as he handed over the bag to Jenkins. The elder man was already awaiting them, surprised to see that nothing worse had happened on the mission.
"It was just luck," Jake said, looking at the bag. "It could have been anything. Plus, without Cassandra's spell, you wouldn't have been able to find it either."
This was when Jenkins looked up. Did he say spell? That was never a good sign.
"What spell?" Jenkins asked, his eyes fixing Cassandra. She looked down. "I… um…. I put a spell on Ezekiel so that we can find the bag."
Jenkins closed his eyes for a second. Don't they ever listen to him?
"Why did you do that?" He asked, looking over to Ezekiel as if he was going to collapse in any minute. "She had to do it…. Otherwise the owners would have caught us because we didn't know what to look for" Ezekiel said. It was this moment when he started not to feel very good. It was as if he was sick. His surrounding started to become blurry and he felt dizzy. He didn't say anything about it, though. It would be over, sooner or later.
"Then there surely was another way. You all know, magic as its price."
As Jenkins was speaking, Ezekiel suddenly felt a headache poking in the back of his head. It hurt more by every second. This was odd. He never has headaches. And he never got sick, too.
"Ezekiel?" Eve asked as if she could read his mind.
However, the young thief never heard it. He only felt his eyes rolling back and everything went black.
Well, that escalated quickly! What will happen next? Any ideas? Please don't hesitate to review.
Stay tuned!
