Liam was just about to give up on finding anything in the cupboard when a small object caught his eye.
"Hey guys look what I found it looks like some kind of charm!" Liam exclaimed excitedly as he handed it to me. "What do you make of this Jamie?"
Intrigued I took it from Liam and examined it closely. I'd never seen anything like it before. Three human-like creatures emerging from one had been shaped from what appeared to be crystal no larger than my pinkie.
"I think you're right Liam it's a talisman but I have no idea what those figures symbolize." I handed it back to Liam totally mystified.
"Where's Jade, she'd love to see this." Katie declared noticing for the first time that Jade was missing.

"Ahh! Jamie a rat just ran across you!" Liam exclaimed with disgust.
I laughed nervously...my monster of the dark was nothing more than a rat! Relieved I wiped the sweat fr
