Part 6

Deens joging turned into a run, almost flying past the people on the beach. She ran for hours before finally making it back home to find Bails and Ezzy making breakfast. Panting and sweating she collapsed on the inflatable chair and put her feet up on the inflatable poof, drawing the gaze of the other 2..

"Umm... Deens... you wanna feed Debaizy?" Ezzy said, not wanting to ask what was wrong, but wanting to break the silence.

"Sure" She said as she stood and headed to our Pet googly eyed gold fish with puffy cheeks who only had one eye.

"Deens hon.. whats wrong?" Bails finally asked handing Deens a plate of scrambled eggs.

"Nothing... just tired" She replied, taking the plate into her room along with a copy of the Sydney morning herald that sat on the table.
She put the eggs on floor next to the mattress and picked at them whilst reading the daily news though nothing seemed to be able to take her mind off the mornings events. She closed the paper and saw a chain poking out from under her pillow.

"The pendant?"

Quickly she stood and leaped over to the small box that contained some of her most treasured possessions and rumaged through it frantically until finding what she was looking for.

The book.
