Crescent Fall

Chapter 6: Book of truth

"All I see is a decayed, rotten, insects crawling corpse", said Hannah then started gagging

"Why don't we check under the corpse", Mari suggested

"Wait.. let me get this right, you want us to touch that thing", asked Liv with gaped mouth

"Not exactly if you have telekinesis already then yeah use your magic but if not we will do it the old fashion way"

"What!, What of Hannah she should know how to do it "

"At least she finally admitted she's bad at magic", Hannah said

"No am not, am still in training that's why "

"You've been in basic level for ten years", Hannah said with a roll of her eyes

Scoffing and turning her head away Liv said, "baby steps ok"

"Yeah sure", Hannah said then turned towards the corpse, cracking her knuckles she stretched out her hands and said some incantation and immediately green smoke started to appear around the corpse as it began to gradually float on air.

"Wow this remind me of when Frankenstein raised....

"Oh will you shut up Liv", Hannah yelled

"Guys shhh...were in the graveyard keep it down we don't want to disturb the dead", said Mari

"Are you sure about not waking them up, cause am pretty sure we already did when we were digging", said Cleo looking round their surrounding then whispered "I have a feeling were being watched right now and not the good kind"

"Was there ever a good kind", asked Liv to Cleo who just shrugged

"Ok guys, we have a minute before I drop this corpse down am feeling weak from this spell am using", groaned Hannah

"Right sorry", said Cleo then began searching alongside Mari

"What are you waiting for", Hannah asked Liv who just stood there watching

"Am not touching that thing", Liv said folding her arms

"Argh we're is it, I don't see anything the coffin is basically empty now", said Mari

They began patting everywhere in the coffin looked under, on top, the sides but didn't find it

"Guys I can't hold it much longer, any luck yet", asked Hannah doing her best to keep the corpse afloat

"Nothing" Mari said frustrated "is empty"

Groaning Hannah dropped the corpse with a loud thud causing the corpse to pieces more than it already was. She fell to her knees and steadied herself with her hands "gawd that was tiresome", whispered Hannah panting heavily

"But the book wasn't even in there", whined Liv

"The book should be close, like what Cleo said you can't separate a keeper from it", Mari said

"What do you mean Mari, we checked, it's not here we literally just digged six feet for nothing", said Cleo

"True but what if is not inside the grave but at the side"

Liv gasped "there was a flower at the side of the grave, at first I found it odd for a flower to be still blooming at this part of the graveyard, but what if that's were the book is"

"Wow I had no idea you could make smart assumptions like this", said Hannah

"There are so many things you don't know about me"

"And I assure you, we don't want to know, mostly me", said Hannah

Clapping her hands together Mari said, "fine then, me and Liv will close up this grave while Hannah and Cleo both of you will dig out the flower", she said
