The Moonstone
My name is Carl. I’m turning 16 this year and I live in a huge mansion in New York. My father is one of the richest people here and everyone here in New York knows me. I sometimes wonder if there is secrets my family holds or secret in this enormous mansion. My best friend, Jack, said to me that my mansion can really have some secret passageways. The next day, I go to school with one of my favorite collection of cars, my Audi R8. As usual, the girls will be screaming and shouting their lungs off over me and the boys will stare at me in awe since I am the basketball team captain in the school which is the reason why our school wins so many championships. I walk to the boys’ locker room and start chatting with Jack. Jack said that my mansion has some kind of a mysterious vibe and yes Jack is a witch.
That day, I started to search any clues that may lead to a secret passageway or something hidden in my mansion. My mother ever said to me that our family came from a werewolf pact in New Orleans but that doesn’t mean that our family can change into a werewolf. We only have the werewolf genes in our body and we may have supernatural abilities when we hit 18 years old. My dad never told me or shows me his powers. After hearing this from my mom, the curiosity in me grew larger as time passes by. When I Binged about werewolf in my Mac, I found out that my great-grandfather was a werewolf prince who had a moonstone which is a stone that is only available for the royals and can enhance their powers. When the moonstone is used in battles, the enemy can change back into their human form from their animal form.
The moonstone is said to be only three in the world and one of them is in my great-grandfather’s house in New Orleans. I decided that I must take that moonstone and keep it safe here in my mansion. The problem is where my great-grandfather’s house is. The thing is no one knows who my great-grandfather is and where he lives. The internet was just making up stories and I know it from Jack who said that there are no werewolf traces there and not even a scent of a werewolf there. Of course Jack knows all of these through his magic spell.
In school, I go to the library more often to find informations about my family or about the werewolf thingy. Of course I did this research in secret and only Jack knows about this thing. Apparently, my mom can’t tell me about these things since she is going from country to country to catch up with fashion shows and shopping for the limited editions. Every time she gets home, she will bring more than fifteen shopping bags and they were really filled the living room. A typical rich woman.
One day, when I was doing my research about my family heirloom and the werewolf thing in my room, Jack suddenly burst into my room and quickly sits down beside me. I asked what happen and he said that he found something that will surely catch my attention. Jack said that my great-grandfather’s house was invisible to humans and can only be seen by a supernatural creature or someone with supernatural genes in them. The house was built between 1930s by a witch. The house was protected by a powerful spell that it can really hide the house well from any humans and technology. It is said that the house can only be located by a tracker spell and only a powerful witch can do it.
Jack also said that he can help me in doing this thing but he was not sure whether he was strong enough to do this. Many of the witches have failed in doing this and ended up dying. Jack was also practicing his witch power these days to help me. After about two and a half hour of continuously searching about it I found something that can leads us to the house. The website said that the werewolf prince usually stayed in the rural areas of Transylvania. Something clicked in my head; maybe we can go there to search for the house.
Summer holiday is getting nearer and all of the students in the school were getting excited of having holiday for a month especially me and Jack. We decided to depart to Transylvania on the start of summer holiday. Jack has been practicing his power more often and he is getting better as day passes by. After packing all of our belongings, we get to the train station and get into the train.
Arriving in Transylvania, we walk to the rural areas there and Jack said he need to do his magic to know in which area does the house was. While Jack was doing his thing, I look around my surrounding and I realized that we were standing in the middle of a forest. Jack lead us the way to the house and we arrived in the west part of the forest for about twenty five minutes. I did not realize until now that the sky is getting darker and the forest is getting creepy.
Suddenly, I heard some bushes bustling like there was a wind blowing but I felt that there was no wind blowing here. It was only a quiet and still forest. Somehow, I manage to hear a low growl behind me and I quickly turned my body around to the source of the sound. I saw a pair of sparkling turquoise eyes which was watching our moves. Panicking, I tap Jack’s shoulder and said the thing that has been watching us in the trees. I asked whether he saw it but he said he didn’t hear or see anything. Then I scratched my head and started to think that it was only my imagination in my head.
Five minutes had passed and I started to hear more of these low growls in the trees. I tried to push it aside but it seems too real to think that it was only me hallucinating. Then I started towards the flickering eyes and the growls out of my curiosity that were rising in me. I heard Jack who was shouting my name and asked me where I was going but I ignored him and started to walk into the trees.
As I push some of the bushes that were in my way, I looked up and saw a huge werewolf was standing proudly in front of me. I wanted to shout but something in me told me to stay quiet and stand still. Beads of sweats were starting to form on my forehead, my knees were wobbling threatening to fall down but I stay still and saw that the werewolf were starting to change back into its original human form. A human who was probably a grandfather was standing in front of me staring at me with those creepy eyes.
When he took a step forward, I took a step backward. The sequence was going on until the grandfather asked me something that was out of my expectation. He asked me if I am the great-grandson of the werewolf prince. At first I don’t know what to say and thinking that maybe I should run away from this creepy grandfather but the grandfather seemed to know that I were going to run away as he said to me to just answer the question and stand still. I gathered up my courage and answered yes, he seemed to be surprised of my answer but I didn’t see the reason why. Then he started asking the second question whether I were here with my witch friend to search for my great-grandfather house and once again I said yes.
After that it was my turn to ask him questions. I asked him who are you? How do you know about my great-grandfather? What is your relationship with my great-grandfather? I was practically showering him with my questions and he said that he was in my great-grandfather’s pact. He was the closest friend of my great-grandfather. And then the last thing I asked made him a little bit off guard. Where is my great-grandfather’s house? He only answered that I can see it with my own eyes later and goes there through my heightened sense of having werewolf genes in my body.
I bid the grandfather a goodbye and I walked back to Jack who was eavesdropping my conversations with the grandfather and waiting me. We continue our journey to the house and I try to focus on my surroundings and use my heightened senses to search for the house. In the corner of my eyes, I saw a big house with a huge iron gate in front of it. I can tell that the house was old just by looking at it and I guess that this was probably my great-grandfather’s house that we’re searching for. I guess we do not need the help of Jack’s magic spell to track the location of the house. As we’re about to step inside, Jack stopped me and said that the house was dangerous with many obstacles in it and I must be really careful to take the moonstone.
Apparently, Jack can saw the house too since he was a witch and only by him beside me really helped me a lot in overcoming my fears. As I took a step inside the house, I noticed how big the house really is. It was much bigger than the appearance from outside. The problem was where should we find the moonstone in a house that was like a royal palace? We decided to spread out to save more time in searching the moonstone. After about two hours, I finally found the moonstone and put it inside my backpack. Immediately, I called for Jack to go out of the house. When I wipe my sweats on my forehead away with my arms, my forehead stings like hell. I realized that there was a scar there and a bruise on my right cheek with the help of my mirror. Getting a moonstone made my gorgeous face into a mess.
After waiting for thirty minutes, Jack pops out of nowhere and I saw there was a large bruise over his left arm and a really bad scar over his left cheek. Jack’s advice was real that we should be careful. Nevertheless, we were still happy in successfully getting the moonstone. The moonstone was really beautiful, it glows and the size of 3cm in diameter.
The next day, we were going home and enjoyed our summer holidays with my friends and get relaxed from all the stress that had been dumping in his brain for the past two weeks. I have been storing the precious moonstone in a secret passageway in my house which I just found it three days ago. I wonder if the moonstone works on me…
