When The Golden Sky Fell

Chapter 4

"No, For the last time Seph! We will get caught!" I screech in frustration.

"Oh but Penny! You haven't even listened to my plan yet!"

"I don't need to! I have heard your scheming before!" 

"I promise it is different this time! Just listen!"

I sigh. "Go on then" 

"So, at midnight, we go to the police station-" 

" Why midnight?!" I interrupt. 

"So its harder to see us! Yes, as i was saying, we go and check it out. Look for clues."

"Alright then" I give in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel like every sound of the leaves and twigs crunching under-foot is like a loud warning siren that will blow our cover. I gasp at every sentence louder than a whisper that comes from Seph's mouth.

"If anyone blows our cover, its you!" i whisper shout as Seph loudly lectures me on the importance of staying quiet.

We reach the dark, deserted Greene police station. We circle the small brick 1 story - building twice, with no luck. 

"I told you this was a waste of time!" I say. "Can we go home now?" 

"No, come on" He brought out a hair pin and started to pick the lock. I waited...and waited...

Ping! 

"Yes!"

Seph pushes open the door and we step inside. I find the light switch, but Seph grabs my wrist and pulls me back.

"No! Someone will see! Your such an amateur" He sighs, tutting.

I circle the desk, twice. Nothing. I shine my torch over the files, not sure what I'm looking for.

"Oh my god, Penny you better see this!" I hear a distant cry from the store cupboard Seph is searching.

I run to him, to see....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just as I step closer, I'm pushed back by something and I fall to the floor. "Force field" I wheeze.

"Oh, sugar" cries Seph, helping me up. 

We are standing in front of a glowing, enchanting, magnificent golden door.

"Its just like the dream!" Cries Seph.

"What do you think its for?"

"A portal" Two words, casually spoken, that changed our lives forever.
