The Book of Secrets

Chapter 3

“You could have taken something better than a weird book” Zack laughed.

“I didn't steel it. I found it in my bag when I got home ,” Kelly explained,

“I saw you put the book back in the box” Rachel confirmed,

“So what? It's following you?” Zack asked,

“I don't know, Maybe” Kelly said

“OK then, Kelly has a book stalking her, Rachel turned the pit's into a place that can actually sustain life, I made the lights in our house go on and off and Jenny froze water” Adam said “Now all we need to find out is why this is happening” he added.

“Jenny? You froze water? You never told us that” Rachel said shocked,

“I... It wasn't anything really” Jenny dismissed her cheeks becoming a bright shade of red,

“You froze water Jen, I think that's something” Kelly said,

“I don't want to talk about it …. anyway... Adam blew up a CD player because he got angry at me. That is something to talk about” Jenny said and everyone looked at Adam in disbelief,

“Well this is all just getting a bit weird now” Max admitted taking a step back from the group,

“Why is this happening to you guys?” Zack asked ignoring Max's comment.

“I don't know, that's why we're here” Kelly said

“Kelly this all happened after you found that book” Adam stated

“So what did you do when you found the book?” Jenny asked

“I read.... well tried to read it, then I must have fallen asleep... you don't think...” Kelly said as she opened the book on the table,

“what is that? a different language or something?”asked Zack after he glanced at the writing, Kelly just gasped, the once blank book was now filled with writing and even stranger when Kelly looked at the language she understood what it said.

“What's the matter?” Rachel asked seeing Kelly's eyes widen,

“I can understand it … the writing … I know what is means” she explained in a whisper,

“What? How can...”

“What does it say?” Jenny interrupted Max and everyone looked to Kelly for answers,

“The part that I read last night says, 'The power of the ancient gifts bless upon the warriors'” Kelly translated.

“That is-”

“It sounds like some sort of spell or something” Adam interrupted Max once again,

“So this is all -”

“It must have triggered all this stuff happening to us” Rachel interrupted Max causing him to get angry,

“This is Kellys fault! She made this happen by reading that stupid book” Max shouted “Your so... so ...” then all of a sudden Max started glowing red, he kept getting redder and redder until flames bounced along his skin, “Ah … what... what?” Max exclaimed as he saw that his body was now covered in flames,

“Max” Jenny screamed,

“Someone do something” Kelly shouted as Max started to hover off the ground,

“Max you need to calm down,” Adam called “It's the only way for it to stop”

“I.. I … can't get down... what's going on?” Max panicked as the flames got bigger,
