Chapter 6

*Nichole*

I felt a chill run down my spine. It was a hidden chamber. I glanced at Oneye, his eyes were wide with surprised. Koda got close to my leg and stood there. I could tell he was afraid.

I walked into the room and glanced inside. There was bench, a box and a table in the room. On the table was a note, an old note. I walked around the room, it was cold and mysterious. I was afraid to look in the dusty,  old box, or read the note. I decided to read it anyways.

Dear Future Readers,

If you have found this secret room, you are reading a note from the past. Most likely years before. I'm writing from the year 1940. I hope that if you have found this place, you won't tell anyone.

This is a place where I and many others hid from our enemies. Today, we have left, we don't know what will happen, but we leave this message for future generations. If you ever need to hide, come here.

Inside the box, is some things that were important to us, that we decided to leave. Take what you need, or anything you think you'll need.

Stay safe,
Chloe

I realized this was a really old note, now it's 1999. I looked around and decided that this place was abandoned long ago. I stared at the note, it said to look into the box. I was so gonna do it.

I touched the dusty box and opened the rusty latch. Inside was jewelry, clothes, books, canteens, and more. As I looked through the box, I thought about Kara. Who was it? I have no idea, but I want to find out. I searched through the box, but came up with nothing. Until I looked at the bottom. There was one more note.

Dear grandchild,

It's me your grandmother, Chloe. I don't weather you're gonna find this note or not, but if you do please read on. I gave a friend of mine a necklace and my journal. It will soon be in the hands of her children. I hope you find it. Your mother, Kara will hopefully be there for you, if not. Read my journal. It'll help.
Ps: I am writing to you from the 60's, I came here once, this is my second, and probably last time.

I love you dear child,
Chloe

Whoa, my grandma wrote to me.... from the 60's She is still way older than me. After coming here from the 40's. She probably had my mom already, but I had no idea. I wish I could find them.

I took a box with a bracelet in it. I didn't know what to think of this. A hidden room, I'd found after it being abandoned for a long time.... that's so different. I had no idea this was possible.

I looked into the box and I noticed a name engraved into it. Kara Jackson, it said. That... was my mom's name....

Oneye looked over my shoulder, stared at the bracelet, and put his hand on my shoulder. How did he know that I was a Jackson? I wondered as I put my hand gently on his. I felt the box, it was soft and it felt silky.

I looked up at Oneye and he smiled down at me. I smiled back, but I still had that strange feeling about him knowing. How was it possible? I asked myself as he took his hand off my shoulder. Finally I decided to ask.

"Do you know who Kara Jackson is?" I asked as I turned to him.

"Um..... well yeah I guess." He said to me hesitantly.

I didn't know why he was so hesitant, but I was curious. I stared at his brown eyes, and I could see guilt in his eyes. I didn't want him to lie, but looks like that's what he wanted to do.

"Oneye... tell me the truth. Do you know her? and how?" I asked as I stared into his eyes.

"Fine, she's your mom okay? and I know her because.... she was friends with my mom, and she was the one who gave me the necklace." He finally admitted.

"How about the journal?" I asked as I looked around the room.

"Um well, your grandma gave it to my mom, who gave it to me." He said as he gave me a glance.

I looked down at the bracelet and put it on my hand. Surprisingly it felt comfortable, and it didn't feel hard and horrible like most jewelry. I didn't know how this got there, but it is mine.

This was insane, how is it possible? I walked around the room and felt the walls. Finally I closed the box and the latch. Oneye started to head out the room, and he left the room. I decided to leave too, with Koda. I started to walk out the chamber when the hidden door started to close.

I ran to the door, Koda right behind me. The door started to close faster, too late. I was stuck inside.

"Oneye!!!" I screamed as I pounded at the chamber's walls. "Get me out!"

I could hear someone on the other side moving around, but I couldn't hear anything. I had no idea how to get out. He better have a plan. I thought as I stopped my banging.

Finally I heard a muffled reply. "I'll be there Nichole! I'm trying!"

If only he knew the stone I pushed would get me out. It was too hard to communicate, the walls were too thick, and he probably only knew I was stuck because the door was closed, and I was stuck inside.

I decided to sit on a bench near the wall, and do what I could to survive. Koda came by my feet and rubbed. It felt good to be alone with him again, but I needed to get out. This was so different.

How was I suppose to get out?
