-Chapter 10-
~Kayla~
Christmas. It was great. Lots of presents, for everyone.
Even more for me! Mums trying to buy me off. Still. I'm not taking the bait though. But, all the presents are nice.
The treats, the snow out the window, the hot coco, the tree, the gifts. Everything was great, except for the fact that Sarah was weirdly off today. And it wasn't a five mintue thing. It was an all day thing. By the end of the night I had to talk to her.
"Sarah, I need to talk to you." I say and pull her into the foyer
"What, Kayla?" She asks
"What's wrong?" I question
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing!" She lies
"Look, I know my bestfriend." I say
"Fine." She sighs then takes of the chain off from around her neck, the eye shaped locket is glowing
"What the hell is that? Magic?" My eyes grow wider
"It was the daughter of this houses amulet, then my mums, now it's mine." She replies "and it's more like really advanced science and logic."
"How did you get it?" I look her in the eye
"The daughter of the house, the original Chosen One, Sarah Frobisher-Smythe." She tells me "Last night I had a dream."
"What a Chosen One? What happened in the dream?" My head is spinning with questions
"The Chosen One, in the beginning, was the person who is basically protected the house and it's contents. Now, we kinda solve unsolvable mystery..." She trails off
"What happened in the dream?" I repeat
"I died." She whispered
"No, no, no. Your my best friend! You can't die!" I insist "Your too young."
"Here, in the dream, at my funeral, there was a boy, and a man." She explains "I was told the man was my worst nightmare. The boy, I don't know. I think if I don't meet the boy or the man, more importantly the man, I won't die."
"How will I know? If their here?" I ask "what do they look like?"
"I can't explain the boy, I didn't see him well enough." Sarah looks down "but, the man. He had a bit more tha just a stubble of a beard. He had sandy blonde-brown hair, and green eyes with bits of brown. His hair, for the funeral, was combed, but I don't know, he had high cheek bones and he was quite handsome."
"I have an idea of the looks." I say "but, your a master at drawing, like the pros. Draw me him." I hand her a notebook and drag her to our room
Half an hour later, she handed me a very realistic, very detailed, drawing of the man. I took my phone and snapped a picture for it and programed it into google.
A Wikipedia page popped up "Lucas Danae, is his name. He's won several awards for his writing... Blah, blah, balh. An acclaimed writer, a and has a degree in writing and teaching. He's basically minorly famous. Oh, and he has a sister who died when he was ten and she was quite young... Sophia!"
I show the picture of the two of them together. She had quite long hair, the same color of his, that was curled. She was really pretty. I wondered how she died...
"I recognize the girl a bit..." Sarah stares at the phones a while longer before she says another thing "wait! I think Ive seen her in my dads senior photos book! I think she went here!"
"Well... C'mon then! I sure Trudy has a copy!"I jump up from Sarah's bed and drag her downstairs
"Piper!" I yell, running down the stairs "Sarah was wondering if you had a copy of Fabians senior year photo!"
"Of course!" Piper replies and goes into Trudy's office, she goes to the bookshelf on one wall and scans for awhile "Here! I could recongize it in a heartbeat! My sisters in it, Patricia. And your dad Kayla. It has every year of seniors, in here, we add to it each year!"
"Thank you!" I tell her and run back into my room with Sarah
I turn to Fabians year and search for the girl, but she's nowhere to be seen "Shes not here."
"No I'm sure I've seen her in this book." Sarah takes the book and flips through it a bit "Here! 2010."
"No, she died in 2013. Before she finished school. That's what the website said." I confirm
"Well... It is Wikipedia. It could be changed at anytime." Sarah points out
"Okay..." I say, still doubtful
"Wait here she is again." Sarah points at her in the book again
The year was in the 1990's.
Sarah flips back a few more "Again." She shows me and flips through one more time "Again."
She shows up at least four times in total before the end of the book.
"Okay, did you find that crap as creepy as I did?" I ask and look at Sarah "Because I feel like there is some serious stuff going on that maybe we don't know about."
I felt like I knew nothing about this place, not even the tiniest bit. And you wouldn't understand how much that scared me..
