Queen Sarah Jane
Chapter three: The Trunk
Luke Smith had trouble sleeping. The problem could be the fact that he was in a strange house and in a bed that wasn't his or it could that Clyde who was in asleep in the bed above his was snoring loudly. Getting out of bed and wrapping a blanket around himself he went in search for his mother. The house was huge and unfamiliar not like their home in Bannerman Road that was big but comfortable. Luke felt uneasy even a bit scared when he stayed in a place that he didn't know: something that he had gotten when Kuddlack had tried to take him, Clyde and other children to fight in a war; and later when the Sletheens kidnapped him. At times when he felt like this he would search or call his mother, Luke had always felt better after talking with her.
Sarah Jane and the children had arrived late that night to her Aunt Lavinia's house. When her Aunt died some years ago she had left the house and its twelve acres of land to her (Sarah Jane). The acres of land Sarah Jane would rent them out to who ever needed them, but the house was always left untouched. It was the middle of December, three weeks after the Queen II and the Royal family was killed. With the increasing crime the police were having trouble keeping the public safe. That had been one of the few reasons why Sarah Jane had brought the children here (with the permission of their parents of course) to spend their Christmas vacation. She wasn't surprise when found her reading but after talking with him send him back to bed.
She woke the children early the next morning hopping to get the house clean before anything else. She had sent the boys on so many trips to the attic: taking or bringing down boxes. It had been after sending the children to bed after a long days work that she noticed a trunk at the bottom of the stairs. Sarah Jane remembered that Luke and Clyde had brought it down during one of their many trips to the attic. The kids wanted to open the trunk right away but the key was missing so she had promised them that they would open the trunk after their work was done. Now; Luke, Rani, and Clyde were tired, too tired to even remember about the trunk. She was curius as to what secrets the trunk held inside. Tomorrow they would find out, but right now she was tires and wanted to sleep.
