Spell Book of the Dead

The Visit

When I wake up I'm lying on a sofa, I sit up and see some old woman "where am I?" I ask "I don't know. I followed you here, I want to say sorry for throwing that brick at your head in the tunnel I thought you were an intruder" she says apologetically, my memories a little fuzzy but I remember the tunnel. She must have been the one that screamed but I don't remember seeing her, "are you a ghost?" I ask "yes dear your mother had me protect the necklace", "oh that's why you threw a brick at me" I say as her face crinkles "yes, sorry again but I've got the next clue from your parents" "what is it?" I ask still not really sure where I am.

"Where you live holds a secret in the room you've never been" so "Aunt Sophia's room?" I ask "well have you ever been in there? And if not then that's where should start your search" she says slowly disappearing. Exhausted I lay back down, the door that I didn't know was there opens and Derek stalks in "hey how's your head?" he asks sounding concerned "fine what happened?" I ask already knowing, but wondering if he knew "something flew at your head and you blacked out, I didn't know what it was or who did it, so I carried you to my car and brought you to my house"

"You carried me to your car? Thank you" I ask astonished "well what else was I suppose to do leave you there?" he asks "well you could of I would of found my way out" I say even though I was secretly glad he didn't leave me because my head is killing me "I would never do that!" he says "oh yeah right you're a nice person" I say half jokingly "yes I am" he says very modestly "do you want something to eat?" he asks again sounding concerned "sure" I say, straining myself from jumping up and down waiting for some food. Derek comes in with soup, "oh yummy" I say enthusiastically "its chicken corn soup" he says "yay my favorite!" I say "it's mine too" he explains.

When I'm done I ask "what time is it?" "Umm about 4am why?" shit Aunt Sophia will be getting up at 4:30am "I need to get home before 4:30, that's when my Aunt wakes up to go to work" I say wondering if I'll make it "well we better hurry" he says and grabs his keys. When we get to my house it is 4:25am so I hurry to get inside. "Thanks for everything" I say while running toward the door.

I made it "why are you up so early?" Aunt Sophia demands "um I took a walk" I try "in your dress?" "Yeah I had a bad dream and I couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to take a Walk" I say hoping she believe me. I tune in to read her mind and I can tell she wants to believe me so I push "sorry I thought I'd make it home before you notices I tell you next time so you don't worry" "you'd better" she says sternly "I'm going back to bed, I'm beat" "I'll see you tonight if I get home early" she tells me as I walk to my room and fall on my bed sleep quickly follows.
