   Lynda woke up when she heard her phone ring. "Why is someone calling me at midnight?" Lynda asked herself. She answered the phone without seeing who it was. "Hello?" Lynda asked. "Hey." A familiar voice greeted. "What do you want, Gilbert?" Lynda asked. "I just, I wanted to hear your voice." Gilbert stated. "While you're in the same bed as your fianceé? When's the wedding? Is it close? Are you going to invite me?" Lynda asked. "It's not like that." Gilbert insisted. "Then what is it like, Gilbert?" Lynda asked and there was silence. "That's what I thought." Lynda stated and she hung up the phone.
      Then Kendra walked in. "Is everything okay?" Kendra asked. Lynda sniffed and wiped her tears and then looked at her. "Yeah." Lynda replied. Kendra walked over to her and sat on her bed. "It doesn't look like it." Kendra stated. "I-I know. It's.... It's nothing." Lynda reassured. "I can see you don't want to talk about it." Kendra stated and Lynda shook her head no. Kendra gave Lynda a hug and Lynda cried in her shoulder as Kendra calmed her.

When she didn't think anything was in there she sighed and sat on her pillow. She felt something hard and looked in the pillow case. In the pillow case she found a book. She looked inside it and saw it had spells. She thought that was weird but then she remembered Lynda telling her about a stolen book from Mr. Gold. She ran out of the room and to her room. She grabbed her phone and immediately dialled Linda's number.
Lynda was at Mr. Gold's shop with Marvin. "Have you found anything?" Mr. Gold asked. "Not yet." Lynda replied and Mr. Gold growled. "We need to find it! It's important!" Mr. Gold exclaimed. "Why is a book important?" Marvin asked. "Marvin." Lynda warned. Mr. Gold sighed. "You don't need to know that. It just means something to me. I lost something I held dear for tn at book." Mr. Gold explained and they nodded. "Okay. We'll look harder. We don't have any suspect's or anything, but I'm sure we'll find it." Lynda stated and Mr. Gold nodded.
       Lynda's phone rang and she answered it. "Hey, Christie." Lynda greeted. "Hi, Lynda..... Uh, that book you said was stolen. What does it look like?" Christie asked. Lynda walked out of the shop to talk to Christie. "Like a regular book, sort of. It says spell book in big letters. Some fancy designs on it and in small letters at the bottom it says In Memory of Sierra Aguilera." Lynda explained and Christie gasped as she looked at the book she was holding. She stood up from her bed and threw the book on her bed. Christie could feel tears whealing up in her eyes. "Why? What's wrong?" Lynda asked. "I. I think I've found it." Christie replied and Lynda gasped. "Are you sure?" Lynda asked. "With the description you just gave, yeah." Christie replied and Lynda sighed.

Lynda, Marvin, and Mr. Gold was there too. "What's wrong?" Hanna asked. Lynda handed her hand to Mr. Gold and he handed her the book. "We found this book in your room.... And it's stolen book." Lynda replied. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." Hanna stated as she felt her heart raced. Lynda handed the book back to Mr. Gold. "What were you thinking to steal?" Catherine asked. "I had to! The spell in there is the one that Mr. Gold, aka, Dracula used for his spell!" Hanna exclaimed and they sighed. "Hanna." Catherine stated. "Don't! Ask Daisy if you have to!" Hanna exclaimed as Daisy walked in.
     "Ask Daisy what?" Daisy asked. "About this stupid curse." Christopher replied. "The curse, of course." Daisy stated. "Do you believe it?" Mr. Gold asked and Daisy sighed. "No." Daisy replied. "What?" Hanna asked. "I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. You're a young and naive girl, Hanna. Even if this curse is real, you told me not long after I got here that this guy, Dracula and apparently my father, needed my heart, the heart of the thing he loves most, to do it. You also said that I'm the thing he loves most. Which means he would need my heart and I would be dead. See? None of it makes since. This curse, monsters.... They're not real. I'm sorry, really, I am." Daisy explained and Hanna sighed with tears in her eyes. "I thought you were different!" Hanna exclaimed and ran up the stairs and to her room.
        Christie, Daisy, and Lynda walked up there. "You stole, and you are 18. We all know Mr. Gold and he's not the nicest person." Christie explained. "Cut to the chase." Hanna stated. "He is pressing charges." Christie stated and Hanna stood up. "What?" Hanna asked. "I'm sorry, but I have to arrest you." Lynda apologized and put handcuffs on Hanna. "I need to tell you guys something." Daisy stated and they turned to her. Hanna knew what she was going to do. "Daisy.... Has been trying to help me realise that this isn't real, but she was doing it slowly so she wouldn't hurt my feelings." Hanna explained and Lynda and Christie smiled. "Thank you, for trying." Christie stated and Daisy nodded with a fake smile. "After you get out. We, we want you to talk to someone, a counsiler. Her name is Ruby Henning. You probably know her as Dr. Henning." Christie explained and Hanna sighed and rolled her eyes. "It's for the best." Christie stated. left with Hanna in handcuffs.
