......
School had just ended and
two friends were heading towards the library to study. Alexis was lying
on a beanbag ,whilst Nikki was scouring
the media center in search of a particular book. Nikki found an old book
covered in dust.. She picked it up, joined her friend by the beanbags and
started skimming through the book, when she noticed a page different from the
rest.
Upon further examination, Nikki realized that the page wasn’t a
page at all, but rather an envelope containing an indecipherable letter and a
map.
She looked at the map and noticed something troubling. “ Hey Lex, isn’t
this map right near your house?”, she said. “ Yeah I think thats the abandoned
house right there”, she said.
The girls followed the map, and it led them to a deserted building
about a block away from Alexis’s home. They entered the property and Nikki
started climbing what appeared to be a dead tree. The branch she was clinging
to snapped and she fell through the hollow trunk, into an underground cave. Alexis carefully climbed down the hole
to rescue her friend (after a moment of laughter, of course) and realized that
it was not a cave, but rather a secret bunker with a small passageway used in
World War ll.
After a bit of investigating, they found a pile of what appeared
to be human remains, along with an old piece of paper by the skeleton’s hand.
The girls bravely picked the paper up, and found it to be the missing will of Gwyneth Cordelia Ainsley Dupont, who had mysteriously disappeared 20 years prior.
The girls were rescued after the discovery, and Alexis was later found
to be adopted, and descended from the
Dupont family, making her the rightful heir of Gwyneth.
