The Unspoken

Chapter 5

The next day in Mrs. Greenfield's class we have gotten two new students. Their names were Shelby and Laura. " Sisters " Keatyn said. I looked at them with fascination. " Why on Earth would anyone move here," I thought . It's like people are drawn to this little town but, I couldn't see the appeal. Shelby and Laura sat right next to Madelyn and Keatyn. The three of us introduce ourselves to them and in that second we were talking as if we have been best friends forever. I found out that they are also joining our school band. Shelby told us that she played the french horn and Laura played the flute at their old school. I looked over to Keatyn and Madelyn and asked " should we invite them to the mansion? " Madelyn and Keatyn looked at each other and said " I don't know ." I told them they could come anyways because I felt like they could have used a few new friends.  Keatyn looked angry, I could tell that she was probably aggravated with me.  I told Shelby and Laura to meet up after band practice to head up to the mansion together. I told them the story on how me, Keatyn and Madelyn found the old abandoned mansion.  I told them how a few years ago the three of us were playing around and we decided to go to the woods and play our childish game, that we ran deep into the woods and got lost and that it was getting late and we should be heading home. Well, on the way back I stepped on a some loose rocks and I slide down a hill. Keatyn and Madelyn laughed at me, you know how friends are. They then realized that I could have been seriously hurt and they came down to help me. We tried to find another way back but we couldn't. We just kept walking further until we saw the old mansion . It was getting really late so we went inside. I told them to use our cellphones to call home so our families wouldn't worry. We looked around the old mansion and we were amazed on how much cool stuff was in each room. There was this one beautiful room that had a big library with possibly thousands of old fashioned books. In this library there was a thick oak wooded desk and a big black leather chair. There was a door in the back of the library that connects to another room. The three of us gasped " it's a music room " said Madelyn. The music room was filled with all sorts of instruments and music books. The old black piano was still in good shape a little out of tune but we fixed that. The music room to me was the most beautiful one of them all. The windows were big with beautiful red velvet curtains and a hand carved wooden fire place. "The music room was our little meeting place" I said to Shelby and Laura.  " Did you ever find out who lived in the mansion before you guys found it? " Laura said. Madelyn told her " no, we never did but we tried to find out once but we had no luck. " Shelby looked around and was amazed by the sight of an old music room. She pulled out her french horn and played a few notes just to see how it sounded. She jumped back to what She had heard. " It sounds so cool in here! " Shelby said.
