The Enchanted Leaf

Chapter Five

~~~~Catalina~~~~

We started by looking through the woods. We stayed where we could see each other but a little spread out. I heard a scream. I think it was Anastasia. "Found it!" yep thats Anastasia's voice. Me and Savannah went over to where it was. I went first for 'Safety'.

When we got down there we stood our ways from the grave but looked as closely as possible at the same time. Yep it was what I thought. It said Rapha and Lina on the front. "Well... it was how I thought..." I said tapping my foot and crossing my arms. "So what know?" asked Savannah. "I'm gonna look around." I say searching for something, anything.

~~~~Savannah~~~~

I have no idea what Catalina is doing. Is she nuts? "I don't want to be mean but why on earth are we doing this?" Oops... I didn't mean to say that... "Because theres something at this place that... I don't know... enchants me. It sounds crazy but... Well... You'd know if you saw what I saw." Catalina said. "But you told me what you saw and it makes no difference." I told her. "Well I didn't tell you everything. And if you actually saw what I saw it would make much difference." I have no idea what Catalina is talking about.

~~~~Catalina~~~~

Savannah is making me a little mad right now. She doesn't understand what I saw. Chaos. People running. A friend all bloody. Yells. Screams. Cries. No one saw that, except me. And they don't know what it was like, watching a friend's body laying by the fire, dyeing, a demon flying from their chest. No one saw that. Except me. I see the vision happening in my head at night, all the time. It haunts me. It happens to no one. Except me. I wish she would understand that. But I don't wanna make her mad so I don't say it out loud.

Anywayzzzzz

I continued searching. The sealing was brick, the floor was brick, and the walls were brick. All brick. In books and movies a lot of people find loose bricks and pull them to lead to a secret passage. Maybe that'll work. I set to work. "Um... Catalina? What on earth are you doing...?" Anastasia asked me. "Searching." I say. "For what? A loose brick?" She asks. "Mhm." I say. "W-...?" "Never mind. Just search for clues er something." I say moving from brick tl brick. by the time I did half of the bricks it's been 21 mins and its lunch time. This is real tiring. I wish I could take a lunch break. I know its just checking to see if the bricks are loose but its harder then it looks. Especially when the room is pretty big. *sigh*.

"Guys wanna get some lunch?" asked Savannah. I almost forgot they were here. "Yep I'm starving." "Hey guys, what have you been doing while I was checking bricks?" They looked at each other. "Searching- for clues." Anastasia said. Oh. ya. *sigh* probably playing on their phones and texting. I wish I could. Too bad I have work.

"Let's go get lunch." Savannah said. All was silent on the way to lunch.

All was silent when we ate lunch.

All was silent on the way back. (Except when Savannah fell in the hole)

All was silent while I looked for loose bricks. Except when I heard messages from Savannah's phone. (She blushed)

I sighed. I tried every single brick and none worked. What I really didn't like was that I did all that work and nothing happened? I mean come on. It was 4:27 pm when we left.

When we got back I took a break and went for a walk to get ice cream. When we got there we saw Jason working there. "Oh, hey guys! Want your regular?" he asked cheerfully. I shook my head yes and we got our usuals. I got a vanilla soft serve, Anastasia got strawberry, and Savannah got mint chip. We went to a park bench to eat our ice cream. When we finished our ice cream it was 4:53 pm.

~~~~Anastasia~~~~

Catalina and Savannah said they were going off back to the cabins. I decided to get some air and go for a hike.

My hike wasn't very fun but I'm ok with that. My hikes are never really fun cause no one wants to go with me. On the way back I heard the boys doing something in their cabin. Mostly singing songs but I heard them whispering something. I didn't think it was important but I listened anyway. I didn't want to eavesdrop either but for some reason... I felt it was something I needed to know.

~~~~Landon~~~~

Me and my friends haven't seen the girls since that day Catalina wasn't breathing well. We've mostly been playing music, walking around for no apparent reason, or looking for the girls which we never succeed in unless they told us to meet them somewhere.

Me and my friends had a secret, a secret only we know about. You see, we have this, guitar. But it's no regular guitar. It's some... how do I day it? I guess you could call it magic. Theres a legend that says the guitar can do enchanting things. Literally enchanting. I'm not sure if it's true. It hasn't done anything weird before... accept one time.

It started at christmas, christmas eve. I was un-rapping presents and I got a guitar! I couldn't wait to try it out. I looked to see who it was from. It said storina Raindrop. I had no idea who that was. I started playing my favorite song that I learned on my dad's guitar. It sounded... enchanting. I kept the guitar and after a couple years, theres this song called raindrops and I learned it on my guitar. It sounded wonderful. That night, I went to bed really quickly. When I woke up, a golden yellow leaf was in my guitar. It scared me. I asked my dad but he didn't put it there. My dad's the only one with me so he's the only one I asked. I was scared, confused. And plus it was in my room! No tree there. From then on, that was my special guitar. My secret. Only me and my friends know about it.

Anywayzzzzzz

~~~~Anastasia~~~~

"It's happened again! I can't believe it! And today is the day it was made! How is that possible?" I heard one of them whisper. "I dunno..." another one said. What were they even talking about? "Landon, I thought you got that on your birthday? Didn't you? And your birthday's in a month..." someone said. "No, the guitar was made today. And yes, my birthday is in a month." that must've been Landon.

I went a little closer slowly to hear better, but some leaves scrunched when I did. "Guys... did you hear that?" one said. I hid right before they looked down. "Must've been the wind. It's getting real windy. And looks like theres a storm coming." He turned around and went back to whatever he was doing. What on earth were they talking about though? A guitar? And what happened again? I'm so confused. I looked up and realized there probably was a storm coming. I ran back to the cabin fast as I could.
