Libby turned the corner into her driveway, grabbing the mail. She stopped in the grass and opened a letter that was addresses to her.
"Hey Lib,Here is the money for rent and other things. I miss you lots. I'll be home in 2 weeks tops.
~Mom"
It's read. It was a simple letter but Libby kept every one of them in a box under her bed. she continued waking up to the doorstep when she saw the crows. They were sitting up on the roof of her deck. She went into the house, grabbed a handful of 'crow food', and threw it out into the grass. The crows raced to the food and began to sting it. All except one crow, who appeared to have a scrap of paper in her mouth. She went right up to Libby and placed the paper in front of her. "What is this? My Hogwarts letter?" Libby laughed at the thought. She picked up the paper and unfolded it. It was just a piece of paper that looked old and worn. "Thanks." She said to the crows. The crow flew off to the food as if she understood her gratitude. Libby walked inside her house, holding theirs piece of paper. She looked set the paper down on the kitchen counter and began cleaning up. She walked upstairs and placed her mom's letter in the box under her bed. Going back to another box that sat on a shelf, this was her treasure box. She grabbed the paper and placed inside with a thimble, an acorn, some cool rocks and some other items. She went back outside and stopped at what she saw. Threw crows lined up and holding a slice of paper. Wait, not a slice of paper. A letter? Each one holding a different envelope. Once she stepped outside the cane to her and stopped at her feet. They each dropped the letters. "Did you guys steal someone's mail?" She said to them, as if they would answer. She picked up the envelope and studied the outside looking for an address. There were none. Libby opened it carefully. The crows watched curiously. It was s letter that read,"
Dear Libby,
This will not be easy to explain over letter so I am inviting you to join me in person. Please, press your index finger into the wax seal for ten seconds.
Sincerely,
M. N."What?" She thought aloud. "Probably just a prank thing or something." She looked at the envelope again and realized her index finger was on the wax seal. Without another moments notice leaves around her began to lift up off the ground and surround her. Libby stood there confused as the leaves began to block all vision. Her hair was a mess and she couldn't see but, she didn't scream. Why would she scream it's just a bunch of- "Ah!" She screamed, not too loudly. Soon the leaves began clearing up and she could see again. But she didn't see her porch or her house. She saw a deep forest that was covered in a light snow. Her first thought was," Where am I?" Then came. "Why is it snowing? It's fall!" So many questions until she saw a group of crows. Soon an object hit the back of her head. It was a paper. Wait, not any paper. This was the old, worn paper the crows had brought her. Only, it wasn't blank. It had a-map?
