Part 14 First Day At A Dream Job

Chapter 13: First Day at a Dream Job

Finally it stopped.

“Whoa, that was nice,” Brett said.

I couldn’t help it. We kissed again. Except this time, as I kissed him, I was able to think. And the only thing I could think about was going to the grave with him. There was nothing else I wanted more than to be his girlfriend and lover. He was fantastic.

I clutched his hand and pulled him forcefully down to the nearest flat grave. At first he went willingly, but then hesitated.

“Wait Janice,” he said. “I know what you want to do, and I want to as well. You’re incredible. I’ve never felt like this about anyone before. But I still think we should wait.”

“Really?” I said. Obviously, I felt let down.

“It’s a very big commitment. And there's something I need to tell you before we go through with it.”

“So tell me then,” I said, forgetting how bossy I could sound sometimes.

“I'd rather tell you on our next date. It’s really important.”

I asked why he wouldn’t tell me now. He assured me he was not with another girl or anything like that. But he would not say any more.

Eventually, I was forced to accept the situation. Anyhow, the good news was that I had another date with him.

We exchanged numbers, then kissed goodnight. I wanted to carry on kissing him forever, but that wasn't possible of course. He told me he’d call tomorrow to set up the date.

On the way home, my hands wouldn't stop shaking as I tried to hold the steering wheel. I’d never felt happier in my life. Even though I couldn’t remember anything before the accident, I guaranteed myself that this was true.

My phone rang while I was waiting at a traffic light. I opened it carefully so as not to slice my fingers on the protruding teeth. Let me guess….Brett is checking to make sure I got home safely. How sweet is that?

But it was not Brett. It was Mrs. FangCut from the Vampire Clothes Supermarket, calling to tell me that I'd got the job. Wow! Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better, they had.

At home, I waited to tell Mr. FreeCut all the good news.

“You look happy,” he said, while fixing me a late night snack of blood-soaked crackers.

I told him everything. He was overjoyed, which made me feel on top of the world. It was almost like we were connected. When he got happy, I got happy. Freakin weird!

Alone in my room, I was at last able to read my next 'clue'. I grabbed the envelope and unfolded the paper inside. In the middle of the page was a transparent circle with wispy patches of white on it. I frowned at this for a moment. Then I remembered that this was only the second part of the puzzle to reveal my first secret. It needed to go together with the first clue I'd found at the library for it to start making sense.

I put the two circles together, and they fitted perfectly. Now I was gazing at a blue circle with patches of white covering portions of it. What was this? I still had no idea.

Frustrated, I read a message below.

'Very good, Janice. You determination to discover the truth is impressive. You’re about to discover the first of three major secrets, just as long as you do one more thing. Take the first two clues you now have in your possession to Bloodmore Observatory. Directly behind the colossal telescope is a bookshelf with star charts on it. To the left of the bookshelf is a hidden passageway leading to the secret. To open it, press firmly up against the wall. Good Luck.'
