AM I A VOODOO?

1809...HUH?

     The next day, I met Tracy at my locker. 'Saw Tasha today? ' I asked. Tracy just shooked her head. '1809.. Whatever can that mean?' Tracy mumbled. '1809? Why that's an important date, dear. ' Tracy and I turned around in shock to see our history teacher, Miss Patricia, standing right behind us.

     'Oh.. Hi, Miss Patricia. Yeah, um..what is so important about 1809?' stammered Tracy. Miss Patricia squinted at us before smiling broadly. 'The War of Wagram. The Battle of Wagram was a military engagement of the Napoleonic Wars that ended in a decisive victory for Emperor Napoleon I's French and allied army against the Austrian army.'

     Tracy and I stared at each other in shock. Next time, we'll be sure to pay attention during history class. The War of Wagram! We learned about it last week. We thanked Miss Patricia profusely and walked off. Suddenly, I retraced my steps and stared at our Hall of History. I pulled Tracy there and said 'I think I got it. What if there's a pict- No! No! There is! Look Tracy! '

      Tracy looked to my left and we saw the portrait of the battle. There was a label below that said 'THE WAR OF WAGRAM' Tracy stared at me in utter shock. We stumbled towards the painting and stared at it closely. I slowly tilted the painting and tried to look behind it. Alas! There was nothing. But then, I lightly shook the painting and a piece of paper fell.

     I quickly realized that it was the next clue. I hung the painting back as Tracy picked up the paper. She opened the piece of paper and stared for a while. I snatched the paper from her and was shocked. What I saw was not what I expected. Oh my god...
