A Witch in the Class:
Skyla was still dreaming, the mark on the wall had disappeared, she looked around to see if there was more. Skyla looked at the ground and there was something of a necklace there, she picked it up and saw that there was a name on the necklace, Emma.
"Skyla!"
Skyla was startled awake and threw Mouse out of bed, she picked Mouse up off the floor.
"Sorry, Mouse" said Skyla.
Skyla was holding Mouse against her when she felt something, she felt it was and felt like a necklace, maybe it was her necklace she thought, but when she held the necklace out it was the same necklace she was dreaming about.
"Mouse, do you see this too? How is this possible?" Asked Skyla.
Skyla grabbed her glasses and put it on and then she saw really clearly that it was the necklace, she lay down and stared at the necklace until she fell asleep after two hours.
The next morning Percy and Milo were in the living room early, Milo was sleeping in a corner, Percy stood by the dining table a put a glass on the table.
"Location: Kitchen, investigation fingerprints continues, Before we look for the male ones, I've to confirm that the female ones are from Arlene," said Percy.
"Pancakes," said Milo, in his sleep.
Percy walked over to Milo and woke him up.
"Beaver!" Yelled Milo.
"Be careful, or you'll ruin the whole investigation," said Percy.
"Investigation? Dude, I don't even know what we're investigating," said Milo.
"I've just put that class there, if Arlene enters and she sees it's on the edge of the table, she'll put it somewhere else, we grab it and we've her fingerprints," said Percy.
Milo fell asleep again and Percy woke him up again.
"A detective doesn't need sleep, a detective is always alert at any time," said Percy.
"You say that you're 99 percent sure that the fingerprints are Arlene's, Why do we still need to investigate?" Asked Milo.
"99 percent isn't enough, it's needs to be a 100 percent. A detective never assumes anything, he always investigates everything," said Percy.
Percy heard someone coming and quickly went to hide with Milo. Arlene entered the living room and saw the glass, she picked up the glass and set it down on the counter and then walked on to the garden. Percy and Milo came from their hiding place from then. Percy walked over to the kitchen counter and put the glass in a plastic bag.
"Dude," said Milo.
"Come, come, come," said Percy.
Percy and Milo walked quickly away, the garden door opened and Arlene looked inside to see what was going on but she saw no one.
An hour and a half later, Skyla walked downstairs to go to school, she put her bag down and grabbed her coat, Arlene walked up to her with lunchbox in her hands.
"Good morning, I didn't see you during breakfast," said Arlene.
"I overslept," said Skyla.
"Here, I put some strawberries with your lunch, you love those, right? Asked Arlene, as she handed Skyla her lunchbox.
"Yeah, thank you," said Skyla
"I understand it's difficult for you, moving is a big deal. We all have to find our place," said Arlene.
"Yeah," said Skyla.
"You know that you can always come to me," said Arlene.
"I know," said Skyla.
Good, now go quickly or you will be late," said Arlene, as she handed Skyla her bag.
"Yeah, thanks, bye," said Skyla.
And while Skyla left the house to go to school, Percy and Milo were in their room, Percy was working on the fingerprints, Milo tried to climb into his bed, but he felt so tired that he couldn't.
"If the fingerprints on the door match with Arlene's fingerprint, then there is only one fingerprint to investigate," said Percy.
"Dude, I don't even have enough strength to climb into my own bed, I've never been this tired before," said Milo, as he lay down in Percy's bed.
"You can't sleep now," said Percy, looking at his watch. "We've to leave for school in 2 minutes and 55 seconds."
"Dude, I can't handle this, being a detective is exhausting, I'm so weak right now," said Milo.
"The investigation will continue this afternoon. Who was the shadowy figure that walked out the door? We're getting closer to an answer, that's all," said Percy.
Percy's watch started beeping, he stopped it grabbed his deodorant and left the room, while Milo had fallen asleep.
Half an hour later Skyla was already at school and was in the library, she was looking for information about the mark she saw in her dream, what the mark meant.
"If the necklace truly exist, then that mark might exist as well," said Skyla. "Where do I search?"
Skyla walked to the other side of the bookcase to look for a book, she picked out one of the books. Raphael approached and tapped her on the shoulder and she turned to him.
"What are you looking for?" Asked Raphael. "Sorry, I don't want to scare you."
"You didn't," said Skyla.
"If you tell me what you're searching for I might be able to help you," said Raphael.
"Oh, I was dreaming about a necklace and suddenly I was holding it for real. Then I dreamed about a mark, so I thought," said Skyla.
"Raphael? Raphael?" Asked Ms. Mills.
Raphael saw Ms. Mills entering the libary and ducked, as soon as he saw that she was walking out of library, he got up again.
"You probably don't me because of your headphones," said Skyla.
"I do, I do because of them, If I don't wear my headphones, I hear strange noises," said Raphael.
"So you don't think I'm weird?" Asked Skyla.
"No, of course no," said Raphael. "Ms. Mills is looking for me."
"And that's bad?" Asked Skyla.
"Yes, she wants me to audition for the musical, I don't want that," said Raphael.
"Why not?" Asked Skyla.
"That mark, what did it look like?" Asked Raphael.
"Oh, never mind, it was just a vivid dream, that's all, thanks," said Skyla.
Skyla put the book back in the case and walked quickly away, but stopped walking halfway.
"Well done, Skyla, now he thinks you're crazy as well," said Skyla to herself.
Skyla walked out of the library, Raphael heard what Skyla had said and got a small smile on his face.
In the meantime, Anastacia had just finished at her locker, she walked out and saw Milo standing, ready to flirt with her again.
"Hey, Anastacia, he girl," said Milo.
"Hey," said Anastacia.
"I was thinking, what if…," said Milo.
Milo did not finish his sentence because he fell asleep, Anastacia walked away, Percy walked over to the lockers and tried to wake Milo up.
"Just a matter of days," said Milo in his sleep.
"Come, it's a matter of minutes before we're too late for history, come on," said Percy.
"No, dude, let me sleep a few days," said Milo.
"Come one," said Percy.
"No, dude, I don't want to go to school!" Said Milo.
"You're already in school," said Percy.
"That's not true, go away," said Milo.
Percy couldn't get Milo to wake up, he grabbed an alarm clock from his satchel and put it on top of the lockers and walked away. A few moments later, the alarm went off and Milo woke right away.
"Fire! Fire!" Yelled Milo.
"So, are you finally awake? Come we've to go now to history class now," said Percy, as he walked up to Milo and put the alarm clock in his satchel again.
"What?" Asked Milo.
"Hurry," said Percy.
"Class? Class?" Asked Milo.
"Yes, history, we're already late," said Percy.
"Let's go, said Milo," as he started walking in the wrong direction.
"No, the other way," said Percy.
In the meantime, the rest of the residents and their fellow students were already in class, Skyla wasn't really paying attention, she was drawing the mark she saw in her dream.
"I've told you this before, around 1800 many families were fighting," said Mr. Gibson.
Mr. Gibson noticed that Skyla was not paying attention and walked over to her.
"Skyla, this isn't art class, you've to pay attention," said Mr. Gibson.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you," said Skyla.
Skyla put down her pencil, Mr. Gibson was about to resume his lesson, when Percy and Milo walked into the classroom.
"Well, well, you boys decided to show up," said Mr. Gibson. "What took you so long?"
"Percy was asleep," lied Milo.
"You were the one who was sleeping," said Percy.
"Percy, it's nothing to be ashamed off, it happens to the best of us," said Milo.
"Go take your seat, I don't have time to punish you today, so you boys are lucky," said Mr. Gibson. "Okay, everyone is going to pay attention now."
Percy and Milo sat down and Mr. Gibson continued with his lesson.
In the meantime in the house, Arlene walked into the boys' room, she walked up to Percy's desk and say the glass lay in the plastic bag. Arlene took the glass out of the bag and wiped it clean and put it back down on the desk, then she searched through the drawers and saw papers and on them were the results of the fingerprints, she took the papers and the plastic bag and left the room.
Back at school, everyone was working independently on the assignment, Skyla was drawing the mark again, Milo noticed this and grabbed Skyla's notebook and raised his hand.
"Milo, I just asked if there were any questions and you didn't had any," said Mr. Gibson.
"I don't have a question, I've a drawing," said Milo, as he showed Mr. Gibson the drawing. "Look."
Mr. Gibson stood up and walked over to Milo and grabbed the notebook.
"Did you draw it?" asked Mr. Gibson.
"Yep," lied Milo.
"Interesting, it looks like a wicca symbol," said Mr. Gibson.
"A what?" Asked Milo.
"A wicca, witchcraft," said Mr. Gibson.
"Oh, I didn't draw that, it was Skyla, said Milo," pointing at Skyla.
Everyone looked at Skyla, who was beginning to feel very uncomfortable.
"The Celts were the founding fathers of witchcraft, many of their daily rituals originate from it," said Mr. Gibson.
"So Catgirl is a witch?" Asked Milo.
"Milo," said Mr. Gibson.
"She is a witch!" Yelled Milo.
"Milo act normal," said Mr. Gibson
"We've a witch in our class! Witch!" Yelled Milo.
"Milo, go to the headmaster's office and go report yourself," said Mr. Gibson.
"No! No, please! Please, not the headmaster! Please," begged Milo.
"Go Milo," said Mr. Gibson.
"Oh man," said Milo
Milo grabbed his things and left the classroom, he walked toward Mr. Danbury's office, he did not want to go inside. Milo closed his eyes, opened the door and dropped to his knees.
"I was kicked out of class, but it wasn't my fault! I was scared! I have a housemate who is a witch! I'm a man who is super much in love! Please forgive me!" Said Milo.
Milo opened his eyes and saw that no one was there, this actually made him feel relieved.
"Okay? Then, I'll wait," said Milo.
Milo got up and leaned against the desk and then saw Skyla's necklace lying on the desk, he picked it up and pocketed it. Milo heard the sounds coming from the tank again and walked over to it, he lifted the cloth and looked in and started screaming as soon as he saw what was in the tank.
What did Milo see in the tank? And the sign Skyla was dreaming about, was it really be a witch's symbol? Does this really mean Skyla is a witch? And who is Emma? Is she the girl Skyla keeps seeing?
