Mystery
Ting- ting- ting A sound like a penny tapping on metal echoed from the darkness of the corridor. Ting-ting-ting Were they footsteps? The continued, growing louder. Images of a giant metal spider came into Lola's imagination. She shuddered, clutching Paul's arm even tighter. "I-I'm scared," Lola buried her face into Paul's tattered sleeve. "Just hang on a little longer. We'll make it," Paul rested his hand on her head. "Jason didn't make it, Teya's gone, Annie's missing... You can't even walk. I'm scared," tears gushed from her eyes. A screech of metal against metal made them both jump. Paul placed both his hands on either side of Lola's face and she looked straight into her eyes, keeping a firm look. "Kid, you'll make it."

Lola Shane, 15 and in her last year of middle school. Her biggest worry was picking out the car she wanted for her 16th birthday. From having sleepovers with her besties almost every Friday, and complaining about long school hours, to living on the cold streets of New York, barely human. It wasn't always this way. On her way back from school one rainy day, she stumbled upon a puddle; a puddle that shone bright light. Going home frightened about what she had seen, she pushes it aside and blames her tiredness from the school day. It wasn't until she saw her images in picture frames, disappearing, that the earlier panic resurfaced. Coupled with her parents somehow not seeing and talking to her, she was sure something was wrong. She tries holding onto them but her hands go right through their shoulders. While in denial, she is sure that she was dreaming but soon realizes it was her reality. Lola is in despair and feels like all hope is lost until she revisits the puddle. There she sees a riddle being written in the water and memorizes it. Three years later, she'd been managing to get by being unnoticed by the world and being ghost-like. So it's no surprise when she freezes in panic as black-haired, blue-eyed Tyler leans down to her crouched position and speaks to her. Will this boy be the clue to understanding the phenomenon that changed her life? And will the two of them be able to crack the riddle and get back Lola's old life? Will Lola meet the person that destroyed her once peaceful life? Word Count📝: 132,431.
