The Five Stones

Chapter 3

"I know where that is..."

"Lead the way" Jem said smiling.

Jay shape shifted into a little black dog. Then into a bigger brown dog with spots. Finally to another dog that was white and black with brown eyes.

"What is he doing?!" Carlos said kinda loud.

"Hes just being a show off. He likes impressing things" I responded "anyway... You should follow me.. Its over here."

I started walking back towards my home. Its a huge summer house next to a beach. The balcony points towards the beach and there's palm trees all around it.

On the balcony hangs a beautiful hammock. Next to the hammock sat a table. The table was golden colored with pretty designs on the sides.

At the front of the house there where two giant windows with balconys attached. On the second floor. The windows could slide open to get inside. Behind the windows was two giant curtains blocking the view to inside the house.

The door was a golden brown. It had swirls and flowers carved in. At the top was a small window.

The house was big and made out of logs. The logs placed sideways on top of each other. On the rim of the house the logs placed up.

"Why do you need such a huge house? I thought you were the only one here. Did you lie? Who else is with you 'Alex?'" Cody spitted out, saying my name like it was made up as he moved closer to me.

"I dont know it was here when I was born. My mom and dad never told me why." I said back not sounding as mean as him.

"Your mom and dad? Where are they?" He hissed out again.

"Dead." I said quietly looking at the ground.

His eyes got a little bigger as he stepped back. Jem and Carlos looked at each other. Jem then steps up. "We should get moving"

I nod and keep moving forward. Into the big house. I stop in front of a wall. and point up. There, the stone was. On the wall.

"Ive always wondered why it was there. I guess this is why?"

Cody looks at Carlos and pushes him slightly. Carlos gets the hint and pulls something out his pocket. A small gun. He shoots it towards the stone but not hitting it. The gun then pulls him up and he grabs the stone. He comes back down and hands the stone to Cody

"One down, four more to go" He opens his sword back up and puts it inside. Walking back as Jem and Carlos followed.

"Wait.. Please let me come with you.." I said, "it's so lonely here... I can help, Jay and I! We can be a big help!"

"No. We dont even know you." Cody responded. "You seem really sketchy. I dont trust you"

Jay formed into a tiki and growled. "Jay shh... Listen you can trust me! I don't wanna be here anymore! I won't get in the way!" I pleaded still following them.

"Fine but one wrong move and you're out" just as he finished the sentence Jay tackles him.

Cody tries pushing him off but he doesnt move. "Jay off!" I say loudly. Jay listens and comes back to me.

"Go get stuff you need Alex'' Jem said trying not to laugh. "Its not funny! I could've died" Cody yells.

"You deserved it.." Carlos says quietly.

I head towards my room and get a backpack putting Jay inside. "You're the one of the only things I need so don't cause trouble." Jay nods. 

I also grab a flashlight, my hoodie, and a bunch of food and shove it in my bag. Jay climbs to the top. I close the bag leaving a small hole between the zippers.
