I wake up in the morning, and for once I get some sleep. No nightmares, and no Alyssa. I look at the clock. 12:00, Kelly should be here soon. By the time I get dressed she's outside the house, knocking on the same door she has for four years. When I open it we simply smile at one another and walk to the couch.
" What do you want to do?" Kelly asks me sighing. I look around looking for things we can explore. Kitchen? Done. My room. Done. I go down the list and only a few are left.
" Dig around in my parents room maybe."
As soon as I say that her eyes light up.
" Whatever you say." She says winking at me.
We head upstairs and go into my parents room. I see Kelly gape at how big it is, like she always does.
" Dig around in the closet maybe?" Kelly asks.
I hesitate and remember what happened with the chest.
" Haha yeah sure." I say hiding my uncertainty.
We dig under artifacts of many sorts. I see Kelly grab a picture in a frame.
" Do you think they'd notice if I took this." She laughs.
She starts to move the picture and make voices for the people on it. Kelly continues but we both freeze when we see a piece of paper fall out onto the floor. Neither of us touch it. But after some time I grab it and read it.
" Hide the map?" I read.
I look over at Kelly but she is as puzzled as I am.Once Kelly leaves the house I sit on the front steps of the house and look at the piece of paper.
" Hide the map what does that even mean!" I yell grabbing my hair.
" Who would know about things that don't make sense." I whisper tapping my head. I smile as I get the answer and run inside and upstairs to the bathroom.
" Alyssa?"
No answer.
" ALYSSA!"
I see a flash of light and then I see the orb Alyssa. She looks at me.
" That's not how you're supposed to summon me cry baby."
I shrug my shoulders at her.
" Don't shrug at me! Normally you don't just yell my name. You're lucky I like you cry baby."
She says turning into her human form. I look at her puzzled then shake my head.
"Okay uh well I need to know what this means."
I say handing her the paper. She turns around and reads it. I see her head bolt up when she's done. She slowly turns her head around.
" I can't say much about this cry baby, but.."
She looks around and turns back into a orb and floats toward me.
" You're onto something big and all I can is sometimes you have only one chance."
She says starring into my eyes.
" I don't understand!" I yell but by then I'm alone again.
