The Vacation

Chapter 26

Josies POV: I wake up in a cold sweat like I do most nights but this time it's different. For one I'm in Hopes arms and for two the dream that woke me up wasn't about my kidnapping.

It was about Hope and I don't want to tell you more. I take deep breaths and recollect myself. When I go to lay back down Hope sturs "Hey you okay Josie?" She asked her voice tired.

"Yeah go back to bed Hope," I shut her eyes softly and soon she fell asleep. Just like me.

In the morning we all got ready together and went to all our classes. It was a normal day. Taking notes, doing worksheets, making spells, and Hope. Hope. She stayed by my side the whole time except when she went off training with my dad.

She didn't know but I secretly watched. I wanted to know what it was like she I hid farther back and sat down behind a tree. My head would poke out to get a look and they never suspected anything.

Then after that we went to History of dark spells and the teacher is an old lady Hope and I don't like so when the teacher would turn away from us Hope would mock what the teacher looked like.

I laughed the whole class that Hope and I got in trouble a lot.

During lunch Hope asked me what I woke up for. "Oh don't worry Hope it was just a dream," I responded.

"About what?"

"You," I giggled.

"Me!?" Her eyes opened wide. "What was I doing?"

"That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot," I made a dot three times with my finger and Hope growled pouting.

I laughed at her and Lizzie called her a baby. Hope picked up a strawberry and threw it at her. So in spite of Hope, Lizzie ate it smiling the whole time.

This day has been so good so far. Today was a day where my friends and I were just kids and nothing could- boom! The front doors swang open and there was nothing there. I ran up to get a closer look and I didn't see anything outside either.

"Uh Jo," Mg said slowly "look down,"

I did as I was told and there was a little fluffy monster right by my feet. I screached and backed up.  Hope walked up examining it, then told us "it's a..."

Hopes POV: "It's a what?" Dr. Saltzman asked scratching his head.

"I know that's what I said Daddy," Lizzie chimed in. I've been explaining to them what it was and now I'm just trying to figure out if any of them know how to stop it. But, by there confused looks I'm guessing not.

"It's a Mogwai," I explained for the second time. "A tiny monster that grows bigger and bigger. Why I don't know,"

"To the books," Mg said smiling like this was his favorite part even though it isnt.

We all had fun researching. Since it was tiny we had no worries. That was until I did.

"It says it feeds off of lies," Mg explained

"So tell the truth and it dies," Dr. Saltzman finished the thought. "So who has a secret.

My face went red as Lizzie looked at me inquiring the rest of the people to look to.
