The Wight
I didn't have time to scream before Agatha hit the wight on the head with a metal pipe. "Thanks." I say "your welcome." She answers. "We better get Miss Nightjar." I say "Ok, you go get her and I'll watch." Agatha says
I run downstairs calling Miss Nightjar's name all the way. "What ever is wrong Samantha?" Oh I hate it when she calls me by my real name. "Wight...Upstairs...knocked out" I said between breaths. Miss Nightjar quickly rushes up the stairs and I follow her. When we reach my room we see Agatha holding the pipe just feet away from the wight's head. "My goodness!" Miss Nightjar says. "Sam go fetch Livi." I follow her directions and fetch Livi. Livi grabs a flower pot and we run to my room. She sets the pot down and starts to grow vines around the wight without being told. "Wonderful Livi!" Miss Nightjar says. "Me in Cody will throw this wight into the ocean." She says "You three are in charge." Agatha gives the wight one more good bonk on the head and leaves the rest to Miss Nightjar. We wait and wait. It has been fifteen minutes when we here a knock on the door. We glance through the window to see two police officers. We fetch Giselle who looks 22 and would be the perfect mother. She comes down with her dirty apron on and opens the door. "Hello!" Giselle said. "Hello to you too ma'm." The officer says "I'm here to ask some questions." We look at each other. Miss Nightjar's loop is different because the day repeats but the people do different things everyday but don't remember what they did the day before. Giselle beckoned the officer into the living room. "So I see this is a children's home." He says "I assume you are in charge." He says to Giselle. "No my mother is. She is at the market." She says "Ah, and what is your mother's name?" The officer says "Felicity Nightjar." She says "Ok and who are these three?" He says pointing to us. "This is Agatha Brown, Livi Plotter, and Sam Gourder." She says
"A local said he say a girl flying in the yard." The officer said "He was probably seeing things." Giselle said "I would like all your children to line up so we can see if that's true." He says. The color drains from Giselle's face but she calls down the children. Esme runs over and hugs me and I pick her up. The officer brings in an old frail man who walks with a cane. "Now does any of these kids look familiar?" He says "that one" he says pointing to Esme. I shouldn't have hoped he was seeing things cause I know Esme's peculiarity is flying. "That's Esme Gourder." Giselle says. I hug Esme closer. She hugs me back. That's when Miss Nightjar comes through the door and says "What ever is the matter?" "This girl.." he says beckoning to Esme "has been reported flying by this old man." "We need to run tests on her." "Absolutely not!" Miss Nightjar says
"But we must. It's part of the case." He said "She's only going if I can come." I say "Oh Sam, but you can't!" Miss Nightjar says "That's good enough for me." Says the officer. We say our goodbyes and walk into the back of a van. We are supposed to be back tonight. The van bumps on the rocky road. We reach an run down building with peeling paint and a crumbling doorstep. They take us to a room with a stretcher and put Esme on it. I kiss her forehead and walk behind a glass wall. The scientists put restraints over her legs and arms. One comes over with a needle filled with dark blue liquid. He presses it into her arm and she starts to scream. I scream her name and bang on the glass. I reach for the door when something sharp pierces my neck and the world goes black.
I wake up. Jolting upright I see Esme fast asleep in my bed. We are back at Miss Nightjar's house. Derik comes in gives me a platter of apples and water and walks out. I lay back against my pillow and fall asleep again
