STUCK IN A BOOK

CHAPTER 3.

My parents left me with my grandmothers books. Is it weird how they complain that I read alot and now they just gave me more books with one to finish. I picked up the one I had to complete, it didn't have a name yet. I opened the first few pages. There were picture drawings of the characters. First was a man, he had a long face and curly hair as much as I could tell. On the next pages were two ladies, one look more mature, the other looked around my age. But they all looked medieval. I was about to flip to the next page when I heard a knock on my door.

"Zack, are you awake?", Maddie said in a low tone. I dropped the book and went to open the door. "What's up?, why you still up?", I asked her. "I couldn't sleep, do you mind of I stay with you?", its not like her to get scared or something. "No I don't, but just for tonight", I nudged her to get in the room. We both got on the bed, I looked at the book one last time before cuddling up with Maddie. I closed my eyes and let my mind drift away, slowly until I felt nothing.

"Zack!!! get up, are you okay", the voice I heard was blurry, my head felt numb, the bed I remembered laying on felt rough. I opened my eyes and found my self in the woods. It was all dark and I think I bumped my head. "Zack, we need to go!!", the voice echoed again. I lifted my eyes to see who was talking instead whoever it was helped me get up and starting pulling me to run.

"Who are you? , what are we running from and?..., where is this?", I asked and stop moving. "How hard did you bump your head. Its me, Camille", she said and walked back in front of me where I tried to make out face. "You're the girl from my book", I said as I matched her face to the girl that looked about my age in the book. "What book are you talking about??, we need to get to Austin and Natalie or we're toast, don't you get it, the hunters know we're here, alone, if they find us its over", she said sounding frustrated. "I don't even know you or what all this is". I said and looked behind me. I turned back around when I here a whoosh. "Camille?, are you okay?", I ask her and she falls in my arms. Then I noticed an arrow in her back. "What the??", I begin to here sounds in the woods, they got closer and I could see shadows.

"Who's there???, come out", I shout at the top of my voice still holding Camille. Suddenly every thing goes quiet.. I look around, shadows gone, no more sounds. Is that it?. I lay Camille down, my heart beating extremely fast making it hard to breathe, my hands shaking and sweating. Immediately I turn around a bag goes over my head..

"Wake up Zack, you're gonna be late for school", I open my eyes to see Maddie almost ready for school. It was dream??. I thought about it and didn't notice Maddie was still looking at me. "Uhh, are you okay?", she asked and snapped her fingers in front of face.

"Stop that. I'm fine, why wouldn't I be fine?, huh".

"I dunno, maybe because you're awake and drooling". She says point at my mouth.

"What?, noo", I hurriedly cleaned my face with the blanket. I went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror with my hands on the sink beneath it. My heart was still beating slightly fast, as if my body had not yet recovered from the from the dream. It felt so real that my palms were still sweaty. I turned on the tap, got a handful of water and splashed it on my face. "Its just a dream Zack.. Its just a stupid, scary and worst dream you've had in your entire life, not a big deal?". I took a shower, got dressed for school and went down to the kitchen.

"Good morning Cam.., ma'am", jeez, I need to get this thing outta my head.

"Morning baby, who's Cam?", my mom asked trying to act normal. It was pretty obvious what she was think, right?.

"Its no one mom, name just slipped off my tongue"

"If you say so. Are you okay?, your tear bags are a bit swollen. Tell me you didn't stay up reading your grandma's books", she ask sounding concerned.

"I'm ok, and I didn't stay up. About grandma, why'd she stop writing?"

"No one knows exactly, we heard rumors from her siblings that she was going slightly crazy, thought it was because of reading too much, sometimes she'd even stay up all night. If you ask me I'll say she was alright, but I don't want you staying up late as long as you're under my roof".

Okay, nothing to be worried about, its not like I'll go crazy because of reading or writing books.

I got to school in thirty minutes. I saw Megan outside. "Meg!, wait up", I called out. "Ohh, you were almost late today, what happened?", She asked I'm always ten minutes earlier than her.

"I overslept, and you won't believe the dream I had".

"Okay, then don't tell me", she said with a straight face"

"What?"

"If I won't believe it then don't tell me". I was so lost. "I'm kidding", she said and broke into laughter. "Are you seeing the looks on your face right now", she said still laughing. "So tell me about this dream".

"Glad you had your laugh. Remember I told you my grandmother wrote books", I said.

"Yea, but she stopped, right?", meg asked.

"Yes but she had an incomplete book and according to my parents, I'm meant to finish it. I looked at the casts that where in drawings before I slept. In the dream, I saw someone from the casts of the book, it was soo real and she died in my...". I stop when I see someone outside my school with a hoodie.

"She died in your what?", Megan asked but I didn't answer. The girl in the hoodie was staring at me. She raised her head a bit. "Camille?", I said in a low tone.

"Zack, who's Camille?,  what are you looking at?", Megan asked again. I looked at her, "don't you see the girl in the hood?", I turned to point and couldn't find her again. I ran to were she was standing. "Zack, we're gonna be late for classes", Megan said running after me.

"She was right here, the girl in the hood", I said looking around. "What's that?", Megan said pointing to where I was standing, I looked down and saw a writing the floor.
