Below the writing was a small map leading to an
X mark at the end with the words ‘Treasure here!’.
Before Andy could celebrate his excitement, suddenly
his body felt strange, his head seemed to spin. He was
restless, was this the effect of the chocolate? Was there
alcohol content in the chocolate? Soon after, Andy
fainted.

Birds chirped dancing along with the wind
stirring fine hairs on Andy’s skin. The fragrance of
flowers growing in the front yard seemed to tease Andy
to wake up from his sleep. Slowly, Andy began to regain
consciousness and looked around with his eyes.

“When did Mom move me to the bed?” he
muttered while positioning himself to stand up from the
bed.

As his feet touched the floor.. “AAK!” Andy
looked down. “Whose hands are these?!” Two small
hands tightly gripped both of Andy’s legs. Andy
panicked and tried to free himself from the grip by
attempting to run away.

“Wait, Andy!” the voice called.

Andy froze, never before had he heard such a
voice at home, let alone something that knew him.
