The Harp By: Mioshi Ellison, Brian Rodieo, and Alexis Reape So it’s true, he thought, it’s really true. He had dreamed of this place for years, and here it was. It’s tall, trees that folded at the top like a canopy. “I gotten tell Nikki about this.” He said to himself. There was no way possible that his girlfriend couldn’t like this. “I’ll tell her at school” Austin thought. Austin Zachary was a spoiled brat who always got what he wanted. Austin was muscular and all the girls at school thought he was cute. OF course, he had a liking for only one girl: Nikki O’Connor. Nikki was the prettiest girl at Episcopal Academy. So, obviously she would fall for him. He would have to tell her about this tomorrow at Episcopal. “Hey Nik, what’s up?” he said as he ran up next to her as she was putting her books in her locker. “Oh hi Austin, I was going to ask you something. Do you want to go to the movies tonight?” She said with a friendly smile that grey, December. She was wearing the sapphire necklace that Austin had gotten her for her birthday back in October. She was also wearing a coat that she got as an early Christmas present.. “Maybe next week, Nikki. Listen, I gotten show you something “ he said as he pulled her away. “We’re ditching today.” He said as they were in the parking lot. He brought her over to the parking lot. As they were 12, no one ever thought twice about them being out of school. “Come on.” “Oh my god.” She said as soon as she entered the forest. “Isn’t it beautiful? Just like you?” he said as he put his arm around her. It was about noon. “ Yeah. It’s really something. How did you find it?” she said. Then, she spotted a harp. “Whoa, where did you find that? It’s really nice. Can I play it?” she asked, and not waiting for a reply, she started to play it.” This is absolutely the worst harp that I have ever had the misfortune of playing.” She said. “Can we come here on Saturday?” She asked. “Sure, sure.” “Oh I’ve had the weirdest day. First, my little brother starts acting like a boy, even though he’s a girlie girl. And now this dog appears out of nowhere. This day is so strange.” She said to Austin the next day. “Oh look at that well. Come sit with me please? The pattern looks so pretty, with those instruments all over it.”She said pleadingly to him. “Fine, Nikki.’’ Austin walked over to sit with her. It was a pretty nice well, he had to admit. “Nikki, do you think this is safe?” he called to her. “I don’t know, but I want to go and sit on it.” “Okay.” He said more to himself as he sat down next to her. She had flowing jet-black hair. Her Caucasian skin glistened in the light. Suddenly a black hand swiped down next to Austin. He heard he short, ear piercing scream. As she fell down the well, her d her bones break as they jammed against the wall. “Nikki?” he called. “Nichole” he called even louder. “Nichole O’Connor? DO you hear me?” He yelled as loud as he could down the well. “The Undertaker shall never lose again!!!!” then he let out a cackling laugh. And with a swipe of his cape, he was gone. “Tell me son, how did it happen?” asked the police officer, Mark Cuddles. As soon as he heard no reply, he had gotten out of the forest, he had dialed 911. HE had told the police as soon as he got out of the forest. Nikki’s parents were still crying. “I told you already, Officer Cuddles, we were in the forest hanging out when this due who called himself the Undertaker came by and pushed her into the well. I heard her short, ear piercing scream. Then I called down the well and I got a groan and then no answer. “Okay. Could you show us where it happened again?” After he showed them where it happened, he stayed there and called the decteve, Charlie Perkins, to the scene. “Okay, I’ll check out the scean quickly, and come back with any clues we find.” “Thanks, Mr. Perkins” “So, do you come here often? Because I’m looking for a new girlfriend, and you, my lady, are canadate numeral Uno.” Said Austin to Mr. Perkins’ daughter, Laurent the next night. “O, we’ll see, all in good time, though.
