She slowly walked outside, trying to not make a sound. She carefully opened the wooden door and heard a crash behind her. She spun around to see a rat knock over a vase full of flowers. She opened the door not caring whether it made a noise because if Giovanni was close by, he would’ve already heard the vase crash on the wooden floor.
As she ran outside, it started raining. And it was raining hard. She ran thought forest and made it to the lake. She knew Genevieve’s home was not far from the river.
Lily doesn’t have to cross the river to get to Genevieve’s house from her own. She turned around and saw Giovanni running towards her, full sprint.
She faced the rough, flowing river, transformed into a falcon, and flew across the river. The river is too wide for Giovanni to jump across, so he is stuck.
After crossing, Lily flew the way the river was flowing. She recognized where the forest was thinning. That was where they had met Lucy for the first time. She flew a little ways and then saw smoke. She flew closer and saw Genevieve’s house. She glided down and transformed back into a human.
She saw Genevieve speaking to her mother, while preparing dinner. She walked inside and said hello to Elizabeth, Genevieve’s mother. “Genevieve, I found the notebook.” Lily whispered. “Good.” Genevieve said, quietly.
“Lucy is staying in the shed during her stay, because my mother would freak out if she new she was from the future. Well, she’s a dragon and that was crazy.” Genevieve said hesitantly.
“True, but I think it’s good that you care. But, you should probably eventually tell her.” Lily said
“Ok, you’re right.” Genevieve said, ” I tell her while you go get Lucy.”
“Ok” Lily said. Lily goes to get Lucy and inform her that they are one step closer to getting her back home. She wonders if she should tell Genevieve and Lucy about Giovanni. “I can’t.” She thought. Lily opens the door to find Lucy mysteriously gone. Along with the mask.
Genevieve steps inside her home and tells her mother all about what has happened recently. Her mother didn’t freak out but she was pleased that Genevieve did the right thing and told her everything.
Lily slams the door open and blurts out, “Lucy and the mask are missing!” “What?!” Genevieve says confused. “I opened the door and now she is missing.” Lily says, still in shock, “We need to find her now.”
Lily calmed down and thought for a moment. She knew exactly how Lucy had gone missing. “I have something to tell you. I’ve had a history with a prince. He was cursed for life and is looking for a cure. When I grabbed my mothers notebook from my home, he chased me down a captured me. He got a hold of my notebook and read some of it, I guess.” Lily said, ashamed she hadn’t told Genevieve and her mother previously.
“Like I mentioned before, there is a page in the notebook that covers the Book of the Northern Kingdoms.” Lily exhales, “And the mask. When I escaped, Gio probably somehow followed me and captured Lucy.”
Genevieve wasn’t in total shock anymore but was still nervous after Lily gave more detail on what the curse was.
