Chapter 8-Find and Greet

I sighed. Glassburn? That was a town 100km away, if I'm not mistaken. How on earth would the girls get there?

Ana opened her eyes, and sat upright in bed. For a minute, her mind was totally blank, the the 'waking dream' hit her hard. 'Should I pack a bag?'

'Don't see why not, I am.'

"Aah, who said that?"

'Me, idiot, in your head! Remember, the necklace?'

'Is that you Nam?'

'No, duh!'

'I wouldn't pack a big bag if I were you. You won't need much.'

'Oh, why doesn't everyone invade my brain!? What would you suggest then, Mrs Smarty Light Pants?'

'Make it look like you're backpackers, a small backpack, money. I reckon you find a backpack, put in your pyjamas, a change of clothes or two, shoes, money, and any other necessities. I repeat, necessities. Got that?'

'Yes, I got it!' She found her small camping backpack and changed out of her pyjamas, putting them into the bag with another change of clothes. Since it was the middle of the night, she pulled on grey sweatpants, a white tee shirt and a black fake-fur jacket. She grabbed her phone and it's charger, popping them in the bag. She threw her kindle in too, then dug through her cupboard until she found a sleeping bag and inflatable pillow. She tied them to the top of the backpack, and ran out the door. After a minute, she pushed the door open, grabbed her purse off the table, and slammed the door shut.

'Now, where do I go?'

'Follow the necklace into the forest, it will lead the way.'

Ten minutes later, the four girls stood in a clearing, branches forming a dome over the top. "Hello girls. Hate to brake it to you, but you have a long night ahead of you. 100km that way is the town Glassburn. That's where a clue to finding Nerezza will be. The only thing is, you need to find it. And find your own way there. Hey Ari, maybe you could fly them?"

"No! No, I can't! When we were singing and they cried, they used their powers! I cried! Nothing! Look." She waved her hands, focussing, but not even the slightest breeze blew. "See! I just can't."

"It's okay, well figure something out." Nam gave the girl a comforting squeeze. A tear rolled down Ari's cheek, and Nam raised her hand to wipe it off. She then threw her hand up, the tear flying high then she waved her hand under the tear and it changed into a dolphin. Ari brightened up at the sight.

"We might as well get going."

"Yes. Let's go."
