"Alright, we are going to figure this out." I said
"Do you have a book of different languages or something?" Luke asked.
"I'm sure we do." I walked over towards a bookshelf, and started looking for a answer to our question. I personally think that this book is in Spanish. Why would we keep a book written in Spanish? No one in my family speaks Spanish, at least i don't think so.
I looked at every shelf, top from bottom. I cant believe this, out of all these books I found nothing.
"OK write a sentence down on this paper." I set a piece of paper from my journal, down next to Luke
"Just pick any sentence from the book, and we can ask somebody if they know what language this is."
"I guess that can work." Luke opened to a random page and started to write down what he was reading. He set down his pencil, and looked up at me.
"What if we weren't supposed to even find this book in the first place? What if its your grandpas, or your moms journal. It could be personal."
"Luke, if we find out the language we could translate it. Then we will find out what it is. So its important we write this down, don't worry I don't think any of my family members know a different language other than English anyway," Luke started to write down a sentence.
"There,Cum aperitur. Potest non claudentur." You can tell Luke had trouble pronouncing the sentence.
I picked up the paper, folded it, and shoved it into my pocket. "Lets to find my grandma, maybe she can tell us what this is." I suggested
We started to make our way through the dark red painted hallways. We finally made our way to my Grandmas room. Her door was shut, to respect her privacy we knocked. "Grandma, are you in there?" I waited a second for her to answer. "Yes darling, you can come in". I turned the door nob, Luke and I made our way in her room.
"Grandma, can you do us a favor? Can you tell us if you recognize this language." I slipped my hand into my pocket and pulled out the piece of paper. She stared at the words for a minute.
"I believe this is Latin. why do you want to know this?"
"can you keep a secret?" I was kind of afraid to tell her. Right when i was about to open my mouth Luke grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. "Stop, don't tell her we have that book!" He was whispering.
"Why not?"
"Because what if this book is something else than just to read. What if its like a maze?"
"Luke, now your just acting like a fool. Its a book! to read!" I started to yell in a whisper.
"Look i know this is crazy but, I have this...feeling...that we need to keep this a secret." He looked seriously concerned. I cant just not listen to him, hes my best friend.
