Chapter 2 : A Mysterious Mishap
Back at the hotel, I was musing over happened at the cafe when I heard a scream.
"What was that?" I called to my sister
"Oh do you like it?" My sister asked "It's suposed to be a scene from Shakespeares heartwrenching tragedy Romeo and Juliet."
" Okay." I said blankly
" Romeo, Romeo, where?where? Where art thou now?" she finished dramatically
"Nice." I said sarcastically
"Thanks." then "Hey!"
" Goodnight Mandie."
" Goodnight Rachel."
As I awoke the next morning I remembered that I was supposed to meet Mrs.Blake at the palace. So after breakfast I hailed a taxi, and rode to the palace.
"Wow." I said awed by the beauty of the castle
"Beautiful isn't it?" the taxi driver said asked
"Yeah." I replied still in a daze
In the Palace.......
As I went into the palace a guard stopped me........
" Excuse me." he said "Let me see your pass."
" I , uh- I'm here to see Mrs.Blake." I said uneasily
" Very well." he said " Enter."
I entered the palace just to be stopped again. By the guard.
"Go down the hall aways, then up the left staircase and Mrs.Blake room is the sixth one on the left." he instructed
As I followed his directions, I decided to explore a bit.
" What a beautiful place." I said aloud to myself
"Isn't it?" asked a voice
I spun around " Oh sorry I didn't realize-"
"Oh it's okay." said the girl "What's your name."
"Rachel Johnson." I reply
"Maddie Simons." she said " My friends call me Maddie."
I beamed. I've already made a friend.
" I'd better go see Mrs.Blake." I said
Maddie brightened "Oh I'll show you the way." she offered
When we got up the stairs and come to Mrs.Blake room Maddie knocked.There was no answer. As she knocked again there come a crash from inside.
"Something happened." Maddie cried
Then she tried the doorknob. It opened so quickly we fell int othe room.
" Ow my head." I groaned
" You alright?" Maddie was already on her feet then I heard her gasp.
" Whatr?" I started to asked as I looked around.
She pointed to the floor.
Mrs.Blake was lying on the floor unconcious!
