After a few minutes walk, we arrived at the house. Mom was watering the flowers and picking some fresh lemons in the garden, she loves gardening for sure. We grew different kinds of flowers and fruits in the garden, fresh and organic ingredients for our daily meals, very healthy indeed.
“Hey mom! I’m back from school.” I said waving.“ I also brought Taron and Caele here for a sleepover. ”
“Hi ! ” She said giving me a hug.“ We are very welcome for a sleepover!” She said enthusiastically. “I will make a fresh lemon meringue pie later. Go in and take a seat. Just help yourselves.”
“Yum!” Caele licked her lips. She has a sweet tooth, she loves everyhting made out of sugar, especially deserts.
“Thanks mom!” I said with a grin.
“Go spend some time with your boyfriend.” She mouthed.
“Okok...” I rolled my eyes.
We got inside the house and sat down at the sofa.
“So...about the task. We have to leave tomorrow.Time is running out and we had to save Kathy before the spring break ends.” I said.
“I agree with Layla.” Caele said.
“Good, so we set off tomorrow.” Taron replied.
“We have to go to the London station tomorrow. We will go together by using my magic necklace.” I said.
“But...which station should we go ? There are too many stations !” Caele exclaimed.
“I am not sure too.” I bit my lips. “We’ll see when we get there. I guess...”
“Hello darlings ! Here’s a freshly baked lemon meringue pie for you.” Mom brought out the hot pie.
“Thanks Mrs.Anderson!” Caele said taking a big bite. “Yum!” She muttered. “Mmm...hum..mm..hm!” Translation: This is the best pie ever!
[Warning: Kids, don’t talk to people when your mouth is full. You will sound pretty much like Caele.]
“Glad you liked it !” Mom said happily. “So! How’s school today?”
She asked.
“Um...about that...” I said with a worried tone. “It’s...um-”
“WE HAD A NEW SUBSTITUTE TEACHER AND HE ACTED WEIRDLY SO WE DECIDED TO CHECK UP ON HIM AFTER LUNCH AND WE FOUND OUT THAT HE WAS A BIG SCARY MONSTER AND HE TRIED TO KILL US AND WE THEN FOUND OUT OUR REAL TEACHER IS BRING KIDNAPPED AND WE FREED HER AND SHE SAID SHE KNEW LAYLA’S DAD AND SHE KILLED THE MONSTER AND...AHHH!” Caele screamed.
“Um...what Caele is trying to say in precise is that we have to go on another quest/task or whatever you call it. ” Taron explained. “Our teacher is kind of a...magician. And she told us that Kathy is still alive. We could still save her before the king of ghosts turn people into gambas. Their secret layer is hidden underground in a London train station. We already got the magic items we needed for this journey.”
Mom’s smile turned into a frown. He looked at the three of us worriedly.
“Honey...i...i don’t know what to say. I thought everything is going to be fine...” She stuttered.
“But mom...you know how much this means to us, right?”
“I will let you go. But just...please come back home safe and sound. ” She said with tears in her eyes.
“I will, mom. I promise.” I said giving her a hug.
“When will you leave ?” She asked.
“Tomorrow morning.”
“You should pack your stuff and go to sleep then. You need energy for tomorrow. ”
“Thanks.”
—
We finished packing our stuff and we got to bed. Taron was sleeping beside me. (Just...don’t think too much.)
“Goodnight guys.” I said.
“We have a rough day ahead of us.”
