Castlem: Chapter 6
Chapter 6
In the middle of the night, Charlotte awoke suddenly. Somebody was shaking her shoulder and whispering her name.
"Wh-what is it? Who's there?" Charlotte asked sleepily.
"Hurry and get dressed," came the voice of Mrs. Fergison. "Then meet me downstairs. Oh,and grab all your belongings."
"Why?"
"Just do as I say, and be quick about it!"
After she heard Mrs. Fergison leave, Charlotte got out of bed. She grabbed her clothes, and hurriedly threw them on.
"I wonder what she could be so secretive about," she wondered, as she grabbed The Mystical Magic of Hidden Worlds. Then she ran down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, Charlotte almost fell into Mr. Fergison.
"So sorry," they said simultaneously.
"Come, we must go to the stable," Mr. Fergison said abruptly. Charlotte followed him.
Inside the stable, Mrs. Fergison and Victoria were waiting for them. Mr. Fergison led them all to the only occupied stable, where a horse stood alert.
"This is Johnathon. He will take you and Victoria to where you need to be. You will be safe with him," Mrs. Fergison explained.
"But, what about you two?" Charlotte asked, turning from Mrs. Fergison to Mr. Fergison and back again.
"Trust me, dear. We will be just fine," replied Mrs. Fergison.
Just then, a loud howl ripped through the night.
"What was that?" Charlotte was beginning to be frightened.
"Nothing that can harm you. Just go. Go. NOW!!" Shouted Mr. Fergison.
Quickly, following his command, Charlotte and Victoria got on to Johnathon's back. Mr. Fergison whispered something into Victoria's ear, and she repeated the words into Johnathon's ear.
As Charlotte and Victoria rode away on Johnathon, Charlotte heard Mrs. Fergison shout "Ride quickly and be good! I believe in you, no matter what!"
"Wh-what is it? Who's there?" Charlotte asked sleepily.
