Chapter 4

Chapter 4.

All through the next week I thought of nothing other than that skull and the paper. I thought of the letter from ‘Trinity’ a bit, but that didn’t faze me as much as the necklace. I mean, it was just a letter from someone who’s breaking up with her boyfriend to me. But the skull, it just seemed a lot more interesting and spooky almost, more sinister. I just knew there were a story and an adventure behind it, and I’m going to find out what.

Only to do that I needed a bit more than just the skull, the letter and the rhyme thing. Yes. I did keep it in the end, after we saw it was from last year we realised that whoever it was too probably knows by now that they’re not together anymore, and he probably won’t find it now. Besides, it could always have blown away in the wind couldn’t it? Perhaps it did, maybe Trinity put it in another part of the woods but it blew away and came to this point, who knows? Anyway, Brianne was finding it quite interesting too, but, me? Well, being me, on the edge and desperate for adventure, well I was determined that I was going to figure out what it is, wasn’t I?

We had loads of conversations with Morgan and Brianne about it, most of them were started by me, but we never ever got anywhere and for a week, I never found out any more about it. I never went looking for anything or anyone, because what would I look for?

“Morgan?”

“Yeah, London?”

“Well, you know the skull?”

“London! You can’t keep living in this imaginary world of yours, how many times,”

“Quite a few actually, c’mon, don’t you find it even a little bit interesting?”

“Well of course I find it interesting, I would love to find out what it all means so can you tell me please when you’ve spoken to your vampires and werewolves?”

“Oh har har, missy,” I said, rolling my eyes.

We were back in our flat after the gas leaking in room number 4’s kitchen; we had to wait there, outside in our pyjamas for a whole 4 hours! Can you imagine? It was painful.

“Oh, we’ve been invited to Sydney Cullum’s new year party,”

“Who’s Sydney when he’s at home?”

“SHE is a girl who I know, should we go?”

“Wait, SYDNEY is a girl’s name? HA!”

“Umm,”

“Point taken...wait she’s inviting me aswell?”

“You me and Brianne, for some reason, I don’t know why, but she’s invited like a hundred people, it’s going to be a big party, might as well go, we probably won’t even see her there you don’t have to talk to her,”

“Ehh, might as well then, can’t resist a party me!”

“I know you can’t, aha,”

I smiled at her, to be honest I was still thinking about the skull necklace, a plan was forming in my head, well not really a plan, but tonight, when it gets dark. I’m going to walk through the woods, just to see if there was anything else interesting to do with this skull. If there is, I’ll look deeper into it, if there isn’t, well then there’s nothing more I can do is there? I was only going to look around the first bit, only by where the letter was found. Maybe a little deeper but not too deep, just for, I don’t know, 15 - 20 minutes? We’ll see.

“I said we could make it, if we don’t turn up it doesn’t matter, okay?”

“Okay,” I looked at the clock, it was 6:00 I’d wait until 8 at least before I set off.
