Haha. I make this up as I go along. :P
CHAPTER 2
I stare at the note. How can I be anyone's last hope? There are plenty of better people out there. And even if Iwas good enough, how am I even supposed to find these people? And how did they know I was babysitting? This must be some sort of joke. It has to be. I crumpled up the note and stick it in my pocket. I'll throw it away when I get home; Mrs. Brown or the twins don't need to see this.
I walk into the living room to ask John or Lidia if they've had breakfast. When I get there, my jaw drops. The whole room was a mess! The couch cushions are on the ground, the chairs are flipped over, the TV on it's side, pillow feathers all over the room. And on the ground, John and Lidia were wrestling each other.
"THAT'S IT," I said, "NOW YOU ARE GOING TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS, AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE, NEITHER OF YOU ARE WATCHING TV!" The twins both stood up immediately.
"Um, what mess?" Lidia asked. "Oh, THAT mess. Yeah, we didn't do that."
"It was the ghost!" John said.
"A ghost, you say?" I replied.
"A ghost, John?" Lidia whispered. John gave her an angry look. " Oh yeah! A terrible, terrible, terrible ghost!"
"And who is this ghost of?"
"Um... Grandma!"
"The last time I checked, Grandma lives across the street. And she's not dead."
"Uh...no. Grandma on Daddy's side!"
"She's not dead either."
"Oh, really? Never noticed. Well, if you excuse us, we're just going to go-"
"You guys are not going anywhere! Clean up this mess right now!"
"Yes Ms. Boarde." the twins grumbled.
"Good. And when you're done, you both have to find something else to do besides watching TV."
"Yes Ms. Boarde." They get to work on putting the feathers back inside the pillows.
A couple hours and a dozen rounds of board games later, Mrs. Brown returned home. Luckily, the kids had done a very good job on cleaning up the living room, so it didn't look like anything happened at all.
"I trust the kids were good?"
"Yes. They were just... little angels. Weren't you guys?"
"Yes, yes we are!" they said promptly.
"Good job Lidia and John. Say goodbye to Ms. Boarde now."
"Bye Ms. Boarde!" I start to walk out the door.
"Oh, Emily? I forgot your pay. Here. 30 gold nuggets."
"Thanks, Mrs. Brown. See you in a couple days!" I leave the house and start my walk back home. When I get to my house, I decide to watch some TV. (And hopefully the kids did too. SO MANY BOARD GAMES!) I sit on the couch and turn on the news.
"Good afternoon Minecraftia. Top story today about a small town called Spawner. There have been many recent deaths and with no explanation whatsoever. Doctors have said that all the victims were perfectly healthy and have no burns, arrows, or explosion signs anywhere. More about this with Jane."
"Thank you, Mike. I'm standing outside the town where many people seem to be out of control. No one knows who this mysterious plague will hit next, and the doctors have no cure. All signs point to a quick and fast death, that leaves the victim no sign of them being contaminated. We hope all of this will end soon, before the entire town is dead. Or worse, it spreads throughout Minecraftia. Now back to you Mike."
Thanks Jane. More on this tonight. In other news the-" I shut off the TV.
CHAPTER 2
Help! You are our last hope! The only one who can help us! Please! Help!
