Chapter-3: The Mysterious Note
"Did you know that Spanish writer Corin Terrado wrote the most number of books? I think it was around 4000 books."
"Around 4000 books! My my! I haven't even read half of that many books!" Exclaimed Ashley with pure shock. Claire laughed looking at her. "How do you know?"
"What can you say? I love to read and know about facts!"
"Ohhh, that's cool!" Said Ashley, picking up a book reading 'Around the world in 80 days'. "I wish I could go around the world too." She said, sighing.
"No problem! You might in the future!"
"That's not very reassuring Claire, is it?" Ashley said, smiling.
"Hey! Look? Atleast I made you smile again." Said Claire, picking up a book reading '50 Magical Tales'.
They soon sat down and started reading their books. Ashley soon finished it, since it was a small one. Getting up, she went to pick another book, when something shiny caught her eyes. "Hey Claire, come take a look at this!"
Claire looked up from her book, and her eyes were sparkling with curiosity. They both went near the glistening object, and it turned out to be a book with a shiny cover. There was a sign on top saying 'Restricted area.' Ashley gave Claire a cheeky smile, which was replied back with a wink from Claire. They both slyly crept under the ribbon and replaced the book there with another book. They successfully came out of that area with the book in Claire's hand.
"Why'd you do that?" Claire whispered, once they were out.
"Oh please, it's not like you didn't agree." Ashley said with a big smile. "Besides, what's life without a little risk?" She added, winking. Claire just looked at her.
"Ok then. What exactly is this book?" Ashley asked and opened it. It read,
'Dearest Ashley,
I hope you're doing well. I know you are, for you're the bravest person I know. If you're reading this, it means it's time for you to know about the truth. You have a sister. But she's not someone who you think is ordinary. I can't tell you much, but just follow the below riddle, and you'll get to know.
"It is the name of the 5 consecutive first letters of 5 consecutive months.
He is a very near and dear one.
You know him, just follow your heart.
Cause it is the map that'll lead you to the right path."
I know you're smart enough to solve this on your own. All the best, darling! Hope you reach us soon.
P.S- Keep this book with you at any cost! And DON'T trust anyone.
With love,
Can't -be- named'
"Who is this from?" Asked Claire, curiously.
"I don't know, but whoever this is, clearly knows more about me than I do." Said Ashley, astonished. "And I have a sister! A sister, Claire!"
"Don't worry, we'll figure it out soon.For now, let's go have lunch." Said Claire, giving Ashley a warm smile and warm hug.
