Golden Key

Chapter 2

Thieves

“Do you have your sun hat?” My mother asked, her short brown hair falling into her tired expressionless face.
“Yescomma” I muttered scratching my arm
“Sunscreen, luggage, organizer, mosquito repellent, long sleeved shirts and carry bag?”
“Yes yes yes yes yes and yes” comma between each yes.
“Shoes?” I looked down at my feetcomma wagging them in front of my mother so she could see. “Fluffy socks?” I pulled up my jeans to reveal black socks,try a period instead. the fluff was sticking to my dark blue jeans.
“Great!” My mother chirped commathrowing her arms around meperiod “I want you to be safe okayquestion mark no horsing aroundcomma” she whispered in my ear.
“Mum when have I ever horsed around?” I said skepticallycomma staring up into the shining sky,period the sun was covered inup not in with fluffy clouds. Individual rays shone down on the dew covered grass lighting up every blade.
“And that is why we always let you go on trips like this. Don’t lose our trustcomma Saffron commait would be very hard to regainperiod” I noddedperiod hating Maybe 'I hated when my mother talked in that tone' fits better with the point of view your using. when my mother ever talked in this type of a tone. I rolled my eyes as her grip around me tightened.
“Why are girls wearing such short things anyway? I thought this was a history camp not a three night clubbing event” I laughed at her words, she was right though. Every girl was wearing their fanciest clothes made up of frills, low cuts shirts and high top skirts. I looked down at my own attire, a pair of stained jeans, a long white shirt and my favourite multi-colored high tops.
“And makeup toocomma/exclamation point what is this?” My mother pulled away from our hug to stare at a girl slathered in dark eyeliner. I shrugged my shoulders at her as she returned mum’s stare a little freaked out. I knew exactly why everyone was getting dressed in their best thoughcomma I just didn’t want to tell Mum. The two twins; Tyson and Thomas were all the rage at Stratusburg Academy. You couldn’t walk five metre’s without hearing “OMG those twin’s are hot”, “Awwww I wish one of them were mine”, “Tommy and Ty are so cute!” or “Brotherly love!”. I rolled my eyes, as I picked up my luggage.
“Weirdperiod” My mother stated frowning her forehead crinkling maybe 'My mother stated while frowning, causing her forehead to crinkle.' I think it flows better. “So who are you sitting with anywayremove anyway and add a ?”
“Tinacomma” I muttered looking around for the girl nowremove the girl and replace with 'her' and a period.
“Who?” My mother asked squinting at meperiod
“A new friend of mine”
“Okay than,then and a comma before then what happened to Laurel?” she smiledperiod
"I don't knowperiod" I told her simplycomma not wanting to discuss Laurel abandoning me for the popular crowd. My mother noddedwhile looking at more girls coming from flashflashy looking car’scomma their legs tanned and covered in high boots. “Seriously I mean I swear this was a history camp, aren’t you suppose to wear your worst clothes on campon a camping trip?”
“Maybe those are there worst clothes”
My mother shrugged, her eyes slid down to her thin wrists and on to her new watch. I smiled at her as her eyes widen “would you look at the time, your father will wake up any minute as hungry as a bear” I laughed at her expression.
“It’s funny to you because you don’t have to go back to a house that might be completely demolished now! You know how your father gets when he ishe's hungery! Angry as hell!” she turned on her heel mumbling to herself quickly. Sighing she turned back to me, pulling me in to her arms.
“Don’t get lostcomma stick with the packperiod you always go walk-a-boutwalk about, not this time pleaseperiod”
I nodded pulling away from her embrace. When mum got into one of these emotional states it was best to stay well away from her.
“Wellcomma Saffroncomma I better be goingperiod you have a fun time and make sure you have lot’s of stories to tell when you come back. Oh look your class is boarding!” I turned away from her to see in fact student’s were beginning to file into the dark blue bus with dark tinted windows.
“Got to go mum, see you sooncomma only three daysperiod” I picked up the dark black bag I had all my luggage crammed into. I smiled at her waving with my free hand before I turned towards the dark tinted windows of the bus. Walking forward I could feel the sun boring into my bare neck.
“Have fun” My mother chirped, I laughed as I stepped onto the buscomma or as the last one to board.
“It’s only three day’s mum I’ll be back soonperiod”
She wiped away a tearwhile nodding and giving nodding giving me a watery smile. I rolled my eyes “Love you mum” the door slammed shut making me jump back. I could see my mother’s shadowy figure on the outside of the bus.
“All aboard.” The bus driver muttered angrily through his yellowing teeth. I turned to stare at the balding man my eyes burning with rage. Turning on my heel I pulled my equipment with me up the stairscommatrying not to drop it completely.
“Quickly childperiod we have to leavecomma” the bus driver hurriedme, I ignored him as I stumbled down the bus aisle toward Tina. She was smiling widely at me waving with her pale hands. I smiled back I felt hands take my bag’s. Mr. Black heaved it up into the compartments shaking his head
“You take a real long time to get seated don’t you?” I laughed at him. I began to walk towards more of the back row, I could hearLaurel’s chirpy voice. I lifted my head to see her wearing a white dress, it was so short you might have well just worn underwear and nothing else. I frowned at her, she waved at me her hair curled. I winked at hercomma poking out my tongue like I use to when I had been younger. Sitting down next to Tina, I relaxed into my seatperiod my heartand the pounding sound of blood rushing through my ear drums, echoed around in my head.
"Do you know how long this trip will take?" I asked Tina, her blonde hair tied back into a tight bun.
"Nocomma actuallycomma do you want me to ask?" she offered getting up in her seat almost bumping her head on the over head compartment. I shook my head smiling, I didn't want to make that much of a fussperiod "What do you have pllanedtypo! Planned anyway?"
"Brain tearsers" another typo! TeasersTina smirked pulling out a small booklet,period instead I stared at it.
"Okay then, the first one to figure out the first five win's the last cookie"
"Cookie?"
"I brang some"


The bus trip had been even longer than I had thought, we had managed to complete every single brain teaser in Tina's small hand book leaving us both to wallow in silence. Laurel and Melanie were the only one's who could be heard through the whole tripcomma trying to become acquainted with the new twins. Once we had finally arrived at the outskirt's of Stratusburg im gonna start saying C instead of comma K? Cmy legs were pounding with pin's and needles.
"Are we going straight to camp?" I heard a voice ask behind meP
"NoC that was the plan orignallyC but our camp is miles away from the musuem museum so we are going to stop off there first" Mr. Black informed picking up the many paper's pilledpiled around his seat.
The museum was even bigger than I had thought,period red velevtvelvet carpet's lead up to dark wooden doorwhich was open open wide for any viewers. Pictures of artifact's were takedtapped to the large curving cement poleswhich kept the roof keeping the roof of the museum from collapsing.
The bus came to a smooth stop into the newly made car park. I stood up in my chair leaning on the back of it. My whole neck was saturated with sweat, I could feel my eyes drooping on themselves. I began to follow after the rest of the students exiting the bus, my legs cramped with every step leaving my mehobbling down the aisle. The smell of fresh posies reached my nose as I stepped off of the bus.
"Come along history student's we don't have to long" I felt my pace quicken as I was forced to follow after Mr. Black chis paper's flying wildly around him as he walked briskly towards the museum. “Alright students no one touch any artifact in Charleston Museum cunderstood?. They have a tight security system because of the amount of thefts.” Mr. Black lectured pacing in front of us looking thoughtfully down at his shoes. “No funny business do you understand me,? we stick together as we survey the things on view. We are holding the school’s name on our head’sP any act of misbehavior will be consulted with a phone call to your parents or guardians understood.Understood is too overused. We are here to find an artifact that you will be doing a report forc remember.? At the end of today everyone should have chosen one or I will delegate one that no one hardlyRemove hardly likes!”
I stared at the white walls covered in painting of naked people sprawling across fine linen. I covered my eyes my cheek blazing as I quickly passed through the exhibit. I felt my mouth drop in excitement; sword’s, dagger’s, axes, chainmail and chariots were placed in a small roomc a few doors leading outwards. I jumped into the air, running towards the largest swordc my heart thumping loudly.
“I have made up my mind,P I am doing my report on the swordp” I touched the fine glass csmiling at Tina who was following after me staring up at the chainmail.
“Do not touch the glass!” A voice snapped behind me, jumping in fear I stared at stern elderly lady about my height pouting her sharp lips at me.
“Sorryc” I muttered cstepping away from the display casep
“The cleaner’s have to work so hard to keep these cases cleanc but you dirty them”,switch around I nodded walking quickly away C I grabbed at Tina’s hand pulling her out of the exhibit.
“Alright I won’t do itC” I shook my head, Tina laugh staring up at more paintings.
“I think I’ll do a painting”
“Why?”
“They’re interesting”
“Class come here would you for a second?” I heard Mr. Black yell, sighing I quickened my pace towards the sound of his husky voice. I could hear more voices as I approached an exhibit of the ice age. Mammoth’s, saber tooth tiger’s and dodo’s were stuffed and placed in painted back ground’sC a speaker imitating their voices.
“Hey look a dodo” a voice laughed behind me,P All names of animals should be capitalized.
“Is everyone here?” Mr. Black asked his eyes narrowing. " I have something important to discuss about this report that you'll be doing once we return to Stratusburg"
I turned around to see that practically everyone was here except for Tyson and Thomas. I frowned at Laurel, she only shrugged her shoulders a sad look covered her face.
“Melanie and Laurel where are the two twins?” Mr. Black askedP
They both shrugged their shoulders simultaneously “we were looking at the pictures and than they were gone” Laurel snorted her eyes heavy.
“Oh this is exactly what I didn’t wantP” Mr. Black pushed his hand down his face, he began to scan the crowd his eyes stopped on me “Saffron and Tina go try and find those two, but don’t get lost on your wayp” I shrugged my shoulders nodding. Turning on my heel I began to walk, Tina practically jumping behind me. "Alright I'll just go on with out them, this report will consist of one thousand words..."
“Finally I have a chance! Melanie and Laurel aren't with us" she smiled,P she turned to stare at me a frown beginning to was away her happiness she turned to me, a frown pulling down her smile of happiness.
"We should split upP you go that way I’ll go this wayP” Tina muttered her eyes were sparkling. I sighed “Okay than, I’d rather be looking at swords then trying to find those twoP”
“Okay you do thatC I’ll look for them!” Tina began to run excitedly calling out their names; I rolled my eyes turning on my heel. I began to hum to myself as I scanned the exhibitsC trying to find one that I might actually take interest in. Walking through the long hall's I found everything from vases to tin can's cemented into a tin wall. Nothing I looked at gave me a quirk or even looked interesting. I stepped towards the last exhibit my heart thumping, I had to find something or I would be placed with a stupid naked person painting.
“What are you doing!” A voice screamed, I stopped suddenly
“What do you think getting the stupid key?”That sentence doesn't make sense.
“You don’t do it that way, you’ll set off the alarm!”
“And…we can easily break out of here we’ve done it so many times.”
“Idiot, we can’t! we’ll be suspected!” Suspects if we do!
“So?”
“We’ll never be able to find…” The word’s began to muffle. Crouching I put my ear to the door trying to hear more of the word’s they were saying.
I heard the sound of glass cracking I jumped back in fear my heart racing.
“Ty you dumb foolP” An alarm began to crack through the areaP the sound made my nerves twirl in my stomach, fear coiling around my heart. Great explanation!
“Get itC let’s go Tom!” I heard the sound of footsteps approaching the door. The sound of dog bark’s could be heard outside the area. I began to runC my heart thumping, I skirted down the hallway and back through the exhibits. An image of Tyson ang andThomas breaking into a exhibit rocked in my mind, I camedcame to screeching halt. I stared at Tina, she stood in the middle of the hall with the naked people pictures plastered to the wall. She was shaking in fear, tears of shock brimming in her eyes.
“What is that?” she asked her voice heavy
“An alarm just rungot set off.” I spat, I saw Mr. Black step into the exit followed by nervous student’s.
“Is anyone hurt?” he asked quickly
“No” I shouted stopping in front of him.
“Where is Tyson and Thomas?” the image of the two of them made my hands shake, they were thieves Pthey were stealing.
“Look Cthere they areP” I heard Laurel laugh she pointed behind me, I turned to see both Tyson and Thomas running towards usC a startled look covered their faces.
“What’s happening?” Tyson shouted over the howling siren’s, the door burst open security guards filing in towards us.
“Check themC” the tallest man shouted “I need everyone to line up in a single file once you are found clear walk towards the front where your bus is”,switch I felt Felt? Change to sawpeople begin to fall in line. Tina jumped in front of me clutching at her neck in fear.
I heard Thomas and Tyson line up behind me,
“What do we do?” Thomas hissed, I felt my ears perk as I listenedP
“I have a plan don’t worryP” Tyson smiled, they went silent. I straightened my posture Cbiting in to my lip.
“You three are free to go” the man shouted, the sound of the siren’s was slowly dimmingP my ears were beginning to buzz as the siren died completely. More and more people began to file out whispering to each other nervously.
“I’m scaredP” Tina muttered in front of me
“Don’t beC they’ll think you’re guiltyP” I told her staring into her grey eyes. She stepped up towards a guard. The woman began to pat her hands over Tina’s back, arms and legs. Smiling she motioned towards the door. Tina sighed with relief practically running from the scene.
“NextP” The lady said in a serious tone. I stepped forward, I closed my eyes as she began to probe my body the hairs on my neck standing on endP I never liked being touched!
“Your freeC nextP” the lady looked behind at Tyson, I stepped forward a smile spreading across my faceP he was going to be caught for stealing ha.Don't say 'Ha,' its a very cliche thing to put in a story. I suddenly felt a foot clip my own, screaming I began to fall back wards. Closing my eyes, someone caught me. Opening them slightly I saw Tyson staring at me.
“Are you okay?” he asked, I suddenly felt something being inserted into my back pocket. I felt my eyes widen as he helped me to my feet.
“NextP” the lady said hurriedly, I walked forward my eyes wide. I knew what he had done, I could feel thick metal in my pocket. I turned to stare back at TysonP he looked up at me as a man began to pat one of his legs. He winked my eyes moved towards Thomas he looked at me apologetically. "Sorry" he mouthed before stepping up to be probed.
