• Chapter 2:


    She remembered that she had to meet her dance partner. So she hurried down the corridors and down the staircase and then the Grand staircase into the ballroom.
    There was standing a nice young fellow, with brown hair, brown eyes wearing a black jacket, with a white shirt and black pants and shoes. About 14 years old. Anna walked over to meet the young fellow. Her mother was standing there smiling. “Hi” said Anna softly. “Anna Bella , your manners” Anna’s mother said. “I mean Hello, and how do you do? My name is Anna Bella but you can call me Anna or Bella or even Anna Bell if you like” said Anna politely. “How do you do, Anna Bella, my name is Cody” said the young fellow who called himself Cody. “I’ll leave you two alone” said Anna’s mother. Anna walked swiftly closer to Cody. “sorry about that, just being polite” said Cody. “Ah, figures” Anna said grief lee. “what’s that supposed to mean” Cody said harshly. “it means that your stupid and you’re a goody goody two shoes and cares about his reputation” Anna said harshly also. “your just stubborn and and un-caring” Cody said angrily. “well fine If that’s what you think so be it” Anna said sadly with tears flowing out of her eyes. She turned away. “I didn’t mean it that way Anna” said Cody feeling sorry. “I’m sorry” said Cody. “no, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have came” said Anna Bella as she ran out the door and up to the library. Cody followed. Anna was sitting there helpless and crying whipping her eyes. Cody stood there. Anna looked up at him and looked away “ you must think I’m a fool” “nope” said Cody. Anna looked up and the tears were gone. She stood up and walked over and hugged him. Cody thought “I feel sorry for her maybe we can hang out later”. The hug stopped and then looked at the clock. “Cody, we have to practice for the ball it’s in two hours” said Anna. “Yes, come on” Cody briefly. They raced down stairs and into the ballroom. And asked Sheofor to play some music. The danced and were perfect. The ball started and the night was perfect. Anna and Cody snuck to the library.
    “ I have to show you something” she told Cody as she grabbed the book. She opened
    the book and the book flew out of her hands and across the room with a blue glow and Anna flew into Cody. The book turned pages on its own and stopped and a big blue circle appeared. Anna got scared and wondered what it was. “what is it” asked Anna. “I don’t know, Anna” said Cody. They walked over and were about to turn the page when Anna’s mother said come down here. They closed the book. Anna’s mother was scared. “there’s a storm coming and its big” said Anna’s Mother. Anna and Cody looked at each other sacredly. They began to hear noises that were unfamiliar and creepy. The King told everybody they’d have to stay here. Anna and Cody ran upstairs to Anna Bell’s room. There was a note on Anna Bella’s dresser. It read.

    Dear Reader/ Anna,

    I told you bad things were going to happen…NEVER I MEAN NEVER open the BOOK again. This is bad really bad.
    From, Gingle Snap.
    Anna thought great…and how worse can things get. But they will.





















    Chapter 3:



    The storm went on for days. The castle shook every time it thundered. Anna kept pacing back and forth in her bedroom. She went down stairs and looked for Cody. He was nowhere to be found. She went into the kitchen and had some breakfast. It was pancakes. Her favorite. The pancakes were chocolate chip with raspberries on them. When she was done she walked into the ballroom and found it to be empty. Anna walked into her mothers room and it was found to be empty too. She walked through the whole castle and found it two be empty. There were two rooms left to be looked in, the dudgeon and the castle towers. She went to the dudgeon first, no one there accept guards. She walked up to one and asked “where is everyone”. “I don’t know madam” said one guard. “thank you anyway” she said politely “any time” said the other guard. Anna Bella walked upstairs and stood there waiting. Then she walked up the castle tower stairs and found no one to be found. The same as the whole castle. Anna Bella walked down stairs and went into her room and sat there. Then her mother walked in and looked at her. “where have you been?” said Anna’s mother. “where have I been, Where have you been?” Anna said harshly. “oh sorry dear, we’ve been in the stable”. That was the one place Anna didn’t look. “oh” Anna said. Anna’s mother walked out of the her room saying “ Cody’s looking for you dear”. Anna ran out of her room over passing her mother. She stopped. “where?” Anna said half way down the hall. “in the library”. Anna finished running down the hall and up the staircase. And down the two corridors and into the library. “Cody” Anna said out of breath. “yes” Cody said with his eyes focused into a book called Moby d**k. “where’s the book” Anna said still out of breath. “what book” Cody said. He glanced at her. She gave him a look. Cody closed the book “oh that book”. He climbed the ladder and put the book back and grabbed the WARNING book. The opened the book thinking it would be glowing and blank. They were wrong. “we have to ask it to stop the storm” Anna said seriously. Anna Bella asked the book “why are you doing this to us and can you please stop it”. The book wrote yes. Then a picture appeared. The picture said “my name is John and you must do three tasks before I can stop the storm”. “sure what are the tasks” Cody said. “first you must get one dragon scale” said the man in the book. “but there is no such things as dragons” Anna said. “you must believe, for you don’t believe in many things you should” said the picture. “to get me back say ahsk hilemento to a blank page” said the picture. And he was gone. Anna closed the book. “come on there must be another letter, we must find it said Cody. Anna and Cody searched Anna’s room, no letter. Anna’s mother came into Anna’s room. “Anna Bella, there was a letter in the ballroom do you know anything about it” said Anna’s mother briefly. Anna snatched the letter. “yes thank you, and shoved her mother out the door” Anna said as she closed the door. They read the letter. It said

    Dear Anna and Cody,

    Now look at what you have done. To find a dragon scale go get the book and come back here. When you back here. Open the book to the 50th page. And say “ahsk salemento” and a blue portal will show up. Go inside the portal and I will tell you more later.

    From, Gingle Snap

    “Cody you go get the book and meet me back here” said Anna in a hurry. Cody ran and got the book and they chanted “ahsk salemento”. And the portal appeared. The jumped inside and were gone.























    Chapter 4:


    Time raced in between the two different worlds. They got thrown out of the portal from a time gate. There stood the man from book. And an unfamiliar man. The men helped the children up. “You know who I am” said John. The unfamiliar man said “I’m Gingle Snap” said Gingle Snap. People started screaming. “run” said Gingle Snap. They started running.. “why” said Cody. “DRAGON” people screamed. “does that answer you question” said John. “yes” said Anna. They ran faster. They stopped. “ to get a dragon scale you must make the dragon asleep” “and to make it asleep you must sing softly a lullaby” “then take a scale and run as fast as you can out of there” said John. “yes, but there is only a certain lullaby it will fall asleep too” said Gingle Snap. “what is that” Cody. “we do not know. But here’s a map and follow the map to Earagon and there you must find a silver stone and that silver stone will sing the lullaby” said John. Gingle Snap handed the children the map. “we must go, were time travelers” they said , then vanished.
    Anna looked at the map. They walked out of the alley and everything was normal again. They walked up to some settlers and asked “where is Earagon”. The settlers looked at them crazy. A elderly woman walked up. “Follow me” the woman said. “my name is Malina” she said. The lady started walked away. Anna and Cody looked at each other. Then ran after the lady. And followed her. She walked up to a man and he started nodding. “follow me children” said the man. The children followed. “get in the wagon” said the man. Cody hopped right in. Anna hesitated before entering the wagon. “I’m not so sure about this Cody” Anna said quietly. The man picked up Anna and set her in the wagon. Anna sat there pouting. While Cody looked at all the amazing sites. They stopped very quickly, which sent Anna flying forward. “ahh” Anna screamed as she hit the front of the wagon. Cody laughed. The man said get out and just follow the trail. Anna and Cody go out of the wagon and started walking. The man got back on the horse and headed back to where ever they were before. They started walking until there was no more trail to follow. They searched for the silver stone. It wasn’t easy to find it. Then a note came out of nowhere and landed on the ground. It read

    Dear Anna and Cody,

    To find the rock you must sing shall sa mell ca ce in te dou sou sha sell. Then you will hear a loud soft song and you must follow that sound and it will lead you to the silver stone.

    From, Gingle Snap

    Anna sang “sa mell ca ce in ti dou sou sha sell” and then they heard the noise. Cody followed the noise until he found the stone. They found it and the lullaby was Hush little dragon don’t say a word, mama’s gonna buy you a big fat bird. If that fat bird doesn’t make you full Mama’s gonna buy you a big fat bull. They looked at the map and saw where the dragons cave was. A ruby came flying down and landed on Cody’s head with a note attached to it. The note read throw the ruby on the ground and you will arrive where you need to go. From John.

    Anna took the ruby off Cody’s head and detached the note and held Cody’s hand and threw the ruby and poof they were at the dragon’s cave. Inside they heard screaming. Anna walked inside while singing “ Hush little dragon don’t say a word, mama’s gonna buy you a big fat bird. If that fat bird doesn’t make you full Mama’s gonna buy you a big fat bull.”. And the dragon fell right asleep. Cody walked over to the dragon and pulled a scale out. Then another note came. It read
    Say the line “ahsk salemento sha simone” and you will a portal will come and you jump in it and will be home again. From Gingle Snap.
    Anna and Cody chanted the words “ahsk salemento sha simone” and a portal appeared. They hopped in it and time raced. The flew out of the book an onto Anna’s bed. Anna looked at the clock. The time was the same as when they left. Cody went down to the book. Anna did the same. The opened the book to the blank page and both chanted “ahsk hilemento” and John appeared. “hello, good work. You must keep the items together. In this black velvet bag. Give me the three items once you collected them all” said John. A black velvet bag appeared. “now your next task is to get me a black ruby” said John and he disappeared
