Chapter 3 : Field trip mania part 1

Aha! Finally the day has come. Exams were finally over! And today is the day we are going on our field trip to Cadia. Oh yeah! I am so excited. Carrying my luggage for the 7 day trip I quickly grab my phone and dash down the stairs.

"Hey sweetie! Please don't do something dumb, okay" inquires Aunt Cathy a.k.a Catherine giving a quick kiss on my forehead.

" I promise. I won't" I said while stuffing my mouth with the sandwiches she had prepared.

"Gotta go!" I mumbled still stuffing the sandwiches inside my mouth.

" Before you go, take this, this was your mom's and now it's yours." She said handing me a small black box that had a golden lining around it.

"What is this?" I questioned.

" You will soon know ." She answered

"Now go, you going to be late!"

"Bye aunt Cathy!"

" Bye sweetie , take care!"

I rush out of the house strolling my luggage in one hand and the mysterious black box in the other.

What was it ?

I got into the school bus and walked inside.

"Hey Laura!" Shouted my buddies who have invaded the backseat .

"Hey wassup guys!" I retorted.

I gave brief fist bumps to all four of them and plopped down on the seat,beside Harry. Harry is actually my second favorite out of the gang but my bestie is Jenny.

"What's in that funky looking box you got there?" Inquired the husky voice of Harry.

"I don't know" I replied looking really confused.

" Aunt Cathy said it was my mom's but I am not quite sure what it is ." I answered monotonously.

"Let's open it, shall we?" Jumped Jenny from nowhere.

"Hmmm" I let out a sigh.

My fingers slowly wrapped around the box and slowly lifted up the top .

Inside it was a small note and a very antique looking necklace.

" What's in the note?" questioned Lisa, who was also now interested in what's going on.

"Yeah read it, Laura" persuaded Tom.

My fingers slowly unfolded the piece of paper and parted my lips to read what's in it . It said:

My dear girl,I know things might have been had for you ever since we left you with my sister. The thing is we cannot come to see you because we will bring danger to the life of the ones that we love. So when you come to us and when you are bathed in the moonlight of your hometown, your true identity would be revealed ....

Lots of love

Mom

"What the heck?" retorted Tom.

" Bathed in moonlight, huh?"asked Jenny staring into my chocolate brown eyes her face  painted in the expression of utter confusion .

"True identity, wait what are you?" questioned Lisa .

" Guys, this is just hocus pocus. We know Laura for a long time. Beside what else could she be... other than a bit weird"came Harry to the rescue bringing groups of chuckles to our faces.

"Don't worry, we will always be with you no matter what." Said Harry brushing away strokes of my black hair exposing my face and staring into my eyes"

"Wait let me help you put this" he said taking the necklace of the box. I lifted my ponytail. He wrapped his fingers around the necklace. I could feel his fingers touch the back of my neck.

"Ohhhhhh! Look what's going on here !"interrupted Tom.

Really Tom!

Tom made his lips imitating kissing sounds.

"Stop it,Tom!" I said trying to smack him.

Waves of laughter spread among all our faces.

But now I am left with a huge question Who am I?
