Chapter Eight

Six months on and School was going great for me. I had good test results and was at blue amulet level for Creatarr lessons. I also had my friends, Belle and Sally. My school life was great and I wasn't being harassed or upset by anything so when I began to feel uneasy around the school there was no explanation as to why I was like this. I felt like I was being watched as I did my lessons, watched as I chatted to my friends, watched everywhere. After a few days of feeling like this I had gone to see Miss Firebird to see if she knew what was causing me trouble, but she said the feeling would go away with time. But this was my problem, the feeling did not go away with time. However, I did find out eventually why I had been feeling like this. It was a boring maths lesson and whilst my maths teacher droned on about equations I was drawing in the back of my maths book. I was looking out of the window when something whizzed past. I then had to answer a question but after answering correctly, I looked out of the window. The thing that had whizzed past the window had been a person and that person was now looking at the school building intently, as if he was planning something. He was tall, wearing a jade green coloured cape and boots. He was writing something down in a notebook but when he saw me looking through the window he looked alarmed. He ran away, out of the school grounds hurriedly. But he had dropped something. Curious, I went outside after my lesson to grab the item. The item he had dropped was his notebook, now a little grubby after falling in a muddy spot. Wiping the notebook carefully with a tissue I had in my pocket, I saw the cover. The cover was emerald green with a black clawed paw-print on the front. I opened the book to find writing but I couldn't read it because it wasn't clearly written. 


"This notebook looks valuable." I thought.
"I think that caped guy would probably want it back."

I set off for Miss Firebirds's office and after knocking on the door, entered. Miss Firebird was seated at her desk, typing at her laptop. She put down her laptop lid when she saw me and asked,
" What is it Melissa?"

I responded,

" I found this on the school green. A caped guy dropped it and it looks valuable."

I passed her the notebook once I had said this. Miss Firebird opened the book and read the writing but I noticed that when she shut the notebook she looked worried.

"Melissa, please take this to the headmistress now."

She said worriedly. I took the notebook and hurried along to my aunt, the headmistress. I was worried now, Whatever written in that book must be bad. I knocked on my headmistress's door and was let in promptly. My Aunt Louisa, the headmistress stood up and sat me down.

She said calmly,
"What is it you're here to see me about?"
I told her about the caped guy and showed her the notebook. She opened it, reading what the caped guy had written. When she had finished reading, she looked worried. She put the notebook down and told me,

" Melissa, Whoever dropped this notebook is planning a burglary on this school. I do not know who they are or what they want to steal but I need you to do one thing for me."

"What do you want me to do?" I asked her.

"I would like you to keep a lookout for anyone or anything suspicious around the school. If you see that caped man again, please tell me."

I was then allowed to leave her office. I went to see Sally and Belle and asked them if they had seen the caped guy but they hadn't. It had only been me who had seen the caped guy. I had no idea who the caped guy was or what he was wanting to steal from this school. But one thing was for certain. Something bad would happen soon.
