don't tell

Chapter 6

Max: Right well where do we start?

The girls look around the church room, squinting in the dark.

Laisha: Anoyone else need a light?

She asks swiching on her flashlight seeing max with her hands open. she tosses one to her and hands another to stephanie. The three look around more looking for anything that could possibly be some sort of clue. After some time they started to grow tired thinking there could be nothing that is until a sudden crash caught their attention making them scream and turn to the noise all of their lights flashing the same way. they all let out a brethe of relief when they saw it was just Baxter.

Stephanie: Baxter you silly old thing you nearly gave us a heart attack.

she goes over kneeling down on one knee as the dog lets out a light gruff bark trotting over. laisha on the other hand took notice to where baxter had come from a hole leading outside from just behind a large white but dusted statue of an angel. the hole isn't what caught her attention though, flashing her light towards the bottom something seemd to shimmer back. she walks over carefully manoovering around fallen objects and old books that lay littered on the ground the occasional leaf and twig even snapping under her feet. the girls took notice in her actions as well and watched her movements. laisha knelt down there was nothing above but clearly below the ground. laisha weighed her foot first down on the plank it squeeked unlike the bored ariund it. she got to her knees and started pulling the planks up from the ground. she reached her hand in pulling out a small satchel covered in dust and cobwebs. pearing out of it a blue crystal like object. opening it completley to reveal the crystal entirely. it had a light blue hue glowing on the inside. something else was inside, it was a wooden moon crest it looked like it attached to something from the bottom and if something went into the center. putting two and two together she placed the cryistal in the center of the moon the crystal shone slightly brighter but stayed as is.

Max: Well that's not weird at all.

the girls walked over baxter following along. the three examined the crystal more but couldnt figure it out still. they took a momment and searched through more notes the proffesor might have left.

Laisha: here we go. this page front and back talks about it this moon it looks like it belongs to some sort of staff or something?

Max: what was he a wizard or something.

Stephanie: yeah, right. evreone knows magic isn't real.

Max: it isn't?

max teased making steph roll her eyes with a chuckle max laughing a bit as well.

laisha: im not sure but it looks like our next clue is near the beach. grandpa talks a great deal about this crystal it seems important. he talks about hiding it here but not being able to come back and get it. it says he left an important book near the beach and some sort of dagger. its a sacraficial dagger.

Max: great not only was he a wizard he was in a cult.

stephanie: max!

max: what? it's true.

Stephanie: it's not. we dont know that even if it is thats her grandpa be nice.

max: right, sorry lay.

laisha chuckles at the two.

Laisha: dont worry about it i dont take offense or nothing, i dont even know my grandpa. he very well could be either of those things.

they all nod sliently.

laisha: right well we should get moving.

stephanie: actually i hate to admit it but i'm kind of tired. could we maybe sleep till morning?
