Chapter Twenty-three

Pip heard the voices, all at once. One stood out among them. Blake. "Tell them about the journal, page one..." it whispered. Tears streamed down his face, splashing onto the journal she had given him. He could hear her dying voice. Now he understood. He moved over to stand beside Jackton. "We need to go outside now. It's safe." He said. He took Jackson's hand and led him towards the exit. Gently Pip pushed it open. Laura, Isaac, Narisa and the rest of the group followed closely behind. Black ash rained down from the sky. In the distance he could see the castle. In one of the windows stood a lone figure. As he watched the figure waved before slowly fading away. Pip stared at the empty window for sometime before handing Jackton the journal. "Page one." Pip cried softly. Jackton opened the book and stared at the four words written in loopy handwriting. "What does it say?" Pip asked. Jackton gulped and wiped the tears out of his eyes. Everyone was listening intently to what he had to say."Property of Erin Blake."
