"Who is Théodore?" I hear Will ask- voicing what we were all thinking.
"Better question," Jane jumps in with a smug smile. "How do the flames stay lit in those trophies? Like there has to be a candle or something in it."
"Right!" I say excitedly.
We walk over to the trophy wall. I open the case and look inside the trophies, No candle. Just fire. Lots of fire. Jane looks over my shoulder.
"What?!" Jane asks, confused. I am too.
"I wonder what the fire is coming from." I wonder out loud.
I reach through the flames and my hands curl around something. It feels kinda thin, a little crumpled, I pull it out and it looks like burnt paper. I start to unfold it but Will grabs my wrist.
"What?" I am annoyed. I want to know what this paper is and if it can help us escape.
"Can we open it with you?" He asks and I see Jane nodding in agreement.
"Okay fine but let me check to see if there are more." I agree- but I'm not happy about it.
I reach into the flame and feel another one land in my hand. I pull it out but it crumbles into little bits.
"What?" I ask. "How could this happen?"
"Here let me try?" Jane asks. She says it like a statement but it comes out like a question.
"Yeah sure." I say with a bitter tone.
She reaches in the fire and she pulls out her hand with a piece of paper in her hand.
Will reaches into the flame next but when he pulls his hand out there is nothing in it.
He walks over to the floor and he touches the crumbled bits and there is a flash of bright light then the paper that was on the floor in shreds is now perfectly intact in his hand...
