Moonstone Mayhem pt 2

Moonstone Mayhem








Quietly, Joey was studying for a test on Monday. Joey was the type who always enjoyed a bit of extra homework, but in his free time, he adored escape rooms or anything challenging for him to get his hands on.


As soon as he got to algebra, he saw a slender figure jumping out of the bushes in the front yard, he

went out to see what it possibly was but when he got downstairs nothing was there.


He stayed downstairs worried as to what it might be. He saw it again but, for longer this time so he

jumped on his bike and chased it for what seemed like forever. By now he was on the other side of

town close to an old park near his friend Amber's house.





So he decided to knock on her door. Amber answered surprised

to see joey this far away from home. She invited him in and he told

Amber what had happened so he asked if she would like to join him to

figure out what was really going on and hopefully stop whatever was out

there. So they had dinner and went back out.





However, this time at the park there was a blinding blue ray of light rippling

out over the welted brown grass, it was too bright to just ignore there was definitely

something out there causing it but how would they get there? They thought for a while trying

to find a solution to this mayhem they supposedly created.





How could they figure out a solution when you don’t know what even started it.

They both made an executive decision but how to get there was their main priority.

Back at Joey's house, Joey's mother was so worried she almost called the police but luckily

Ambers parents called her as soon as both children left the house.









They inched closer and closer to the gem and once they both reached the center where the glowing stone was they both grabbed it at the same time they both, disappeared in the blink of an eye they were both gone but where to?





They both awoke on a pavement in a cold dark town where two slender figures loomed ominously

over them. With aggression in their eyes, the figures approached and to their surprise,

they were picked up and taken into a cold brick house with no furniture except two worn

out old chairs, which were part of a dining room set. The darkroom was cold and smelt damp and musty.





They were both forced to sit down and tell them everything they had done in their past lives.

Amber struggled in the chair, but it was as if there were invisible bonds cuffing her hands.

She wanted to get up and start running, she then glanced over at Joey he has bound as well

but by this time it was probably too late to get back unless they found a way to break the

bonds, it would take a while but it would be worth it.





The figures left the room quietly hoping we didn't notice but we noticed





They kept working on the handcuffs they finally slipped off they both left they found another

place to stay for a while but how were they going to get home.
