CHAPTER 2

*Mandy*

3 MONTHS AGO

"Mandy, I have to tell u something. Please come over fast" Hailee said breathlessly on the phone

"Sure hon. But tell me what happened" Mandy asked worried.

"Please just come here" Hailee said. She was on the verge of tears.

"Yes I will be there in 5" Mandy said and cut the call

His mind was racing with possibilities. Anything could have happened. Her dad might have hit her. Or her dad might have fallen on the floor. Or someone might have broken into the house or one of her clients was horrible. Well he did know about her clients. He just didn't tell her that he knew. He didn't like her going around ad giving her body to anyone but she was doing what she had to do.

"HAILEE" Mandy said dashing into her room.

"Mandy" she said and hugged him

"What is it?"

"Today after dinner I went for a walk" Mandy knew it wasn't a walk "And a man pushed me on to the pavement and hit me with this and told me to take care of it and ran away" she said holding out a music box

"Where did he hurt you?" Mandy asked

"Doesn't matter. But what matters is this music box" she said

"It is a music box?"

"With my mom's name and many other people's name on the bottom"

"What?"

"Ok we'll talk about that latter. But when u open a music box what do u hear?"

"Umm music?"

"But this music box doesn't give music"

"Maybe it is broken"

"No it is not. It gives u a poem"
"WHAT?"

"Yes"

"Are you high on drugs?"

"Mandy! No I am not. You know what lets open it"

As soon as Hailee opened it there was a sound. The sound was like a baby's cry and then suddenly there was a man's voice. He said-

"You will rule now that you have found me,

 but I shall warn you,

 what awaits further is dangerous for instance take the example of Mary Gader. 

 She found me and was never found again.

 You will come across dark forces. 

 You shall know whom to trust because we are all made up of greed.

 You shall find the map,

 leading you to the magic cave.

 But before that you shall know the usage of your gifts. 

 Just soo you are warned, 

 if you open the door you may suffer and if it stays shut you may prosper.

because what awaits for you beyond the door is dangerous."

"OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?" Mandy asked when he finally found is voice.
