Seamus just opened his mouth to say something when a crash echoed through the house. Seamusâ heart pounded quickly in his chest as he jumped up out of his chair. Wasnât last night enough excitement? He had been through enough weird stuff to last him a lifetime.
Mariah did the same. They looked at each other and then simultaneously raced upstairs to see what had happened. They checked in every room, not finding anything unusual, until they reached Seamusâ bedroom.
âOh my gosh,â said Mariah, which just about summed it up for Seamus. Drywall and plaster was everywhere, along with shards of glass and quite a few of Seamusâ possessions, shattered or dented on the floor.
Seamus himself had gone numb. How was all of this supposed to be repaired? Some of the things in his room were priceless to him, things that couldnât be replaced.
A large tree branch had come through the wall and part of the window of Seamusâ bedroom, breaking through the wall and wrecking havoc on the room. There wasnât even a tree close enough to his window to do all of this damage! There werenât even many trees in the entire yard!
âWhat happened?â asked Seamus in a hushed voice as he looked out of the shattered window. The skies were blue, so a storm theory could be ruled out.
âI have no earthly idea.â said Mariah. âBut the key word in this sentence is earthly. This isnât something normal, Seamus, this is something weird. As in, fantasy book weird. We should get out of here. Seamus, are you listening to me?â
Seamus was not listening to her for, at that very moment, another crash sounded, this time from the lower floor. Without a word, the twins hurried downstairs.
The living room was in devastation. Seamus was frozen in shock. What was happening? As he thought this, they heard the back door open with the familiar slam of an old screen door, accompanied by the unmistakable scent of freshly picked basil, probably in a large quantity.
âMom,â breathed Mariah. âWe have to warn her!â She rushed out of the room towards the door, Seamus in hot pursuit.
âMom! The strangest thing just happened! We were just sitting here andŸâ Mariah cut off unexpectedly as Mrs. Snow turned her back on them as if she couldnât hear or see them. Mariah walked up to her and poked her. Nothing happened.
âWhat is going on?â asked Mariah. âI mean, sometimes Iâve really wanted to poke her, but this is just scary.â Seamus shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. They walked slowly into the kitchen.
Suddenly, Mariah screamed. Seamus looked over just in time to yank Mariah down to the ground as a tree branch shot through the window where Mariah had been standing only moments before.
That was when Seamus started to panic. Looking around wildly, he ran across the room to take a quick look out of the window. Just as he reached it, he heard Mariah scream his name. As he turned, he saw out of the corner of his eye a flash of brown, and then a sickening pain in his head accompanied by a bright light popping. Then nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Chapter Three
Seamus opened his eyes slowly and began to take in his surroundings. It was dark out, and the moon was full. He sat up and gingerly touched his head. It was then that he realized that he was sitting on grass. The more he thought about it, the more it didnât make sense. Those tree branches had crashed through wall and glass. How had he survived? Forget that, how was he outside and how was it already dark?
Mariah was his next thought. He got up as fast as a person could after being knocked out for a while and went to find her. His entire body felt like he had been beat up. It was near agony to just walk. He quickly checked himself and realized that he was completely covered in bruises. He touched his face and found it scratched and dirty. It was obvious where his injuries had come from, the question was, where did the tree brances come from?
It took him a few minutes to find Mariah as he was quite dizzy and had to walk in a strange combination of a limp and a stagger. He fell down three times before actually making it to where Mariah was, near the pine tree. The more he walked, the easier it was. It was almost as if his wounds were healing as he wentâŠbut that simply wasnât possible.
Once he got to Mariah, he noticed that she seemed to be having, because she was walking in circles trying to go in a straight line when he found her.
âWhat happened?â he asked, as he got closer. âAre you okay?â
âEarthquake, magic, huge typhoon, or possibly avalanche or hurricane, dangerous windsâŠa combination of all of them put together.â
âMariah, stop!â he said. He had a horrible feeling that perhaps Mariah had gone slightly insane while he was knocked out. âIt canât have been magic, please talk like you have a brain! We donât live near the ocean, we arenât in a mountainous region, weâre not near a fault line, and dangerous winds are the only thing that makes sense of what you said. And there wasnât even a cloud in the sky. A tree probably just fell down.â
âThen how do you explain us being outside?â she asked.
âErâŠ.â
âExactly,â said Mariah, fiddling her necklace. âIt has to be magic.â
âYou stopped believing in Santa Claus in fifth grade.â
âThat isnât the only kind of magic,â said Mariah in scorn. âThatâs little kid magic. Besides, how do you explain how Mom acted? She doesnât just ignore us.â
âEither way ,magic isnât real. I canât explain Momâs behavior, but there has to be another explanation. â
âIn this world it isnât.â
Seamus looked at her, his fears confirmed. âSo, what? Thereâs magic on Mars?â
Mariah didnât answer, but continued pacing in circles.
âYou didnât believe in magic before.â Seamus persisted. âWhat makes you think itâs real now?â
âI didnât say I believed in it,â she said. âItâs just the only thing that makes sense. Just trust me, Seamus, I just have a feeling.â
âCome on, letâs go inside. I donât know what happened, and Iâm not sure that I want to know. And please, please, please, please stop fiddling with that necklace and pacing. Youâre driving me insane!â
He turned toward the coop to be surprised; it was considerably larger than it had been before. Confused, he thought that it must just be the fact that he was still awfully dizzy. He looked toward the barn. Another wave of shock hit him when he realized that the barn had doubled in size and it was now made of stone instead of barn siding. Plus, there was a corral with a roof leading from the house to the barn. Shaking his head to hopefully clear himself of these insane delusions, he started to walk back to their house.
Once he got closer, it became frighteningly clear that, though it seemed to be their house, as it was roughly the same size at the bottom and everything in the yard was the same, besides the buildings. Instead of white siding that was usually there, it was made of light grey stone and the doors were larger, wooden, and looked as if they belonged in a medieval castle. Somehow, as Seamus looked up, it seemed to have around ten floors instead of the two that Seamus was used to. Not to mention that the house didnât appear damaged at all.
He must have hit his head harder than he had originally thought.
The bright full moon made the place look haunted and eerie. Mariah shivered next to him, and Seamus knew that it wasnât from cold.
In the distance, they heard the howl of a wolf. He glanced at Mariah nervously. She must have known just as well as he did that there werenât any wolves around their area; the closest thing was coyotes, and this was like no coyote that Seamus had ever heard. The sound was somehow deeper, not as yippy, and it held a trace of malevolence in it that made his hair stand on end.
âLetâs go in, hurry,â he said. Mariah nodded in agreement.
Nervously, Seamus reached to open the door, only to have it opened by two redheaded girls, who, quite obviously, were not his sisters. Even if they looked remotely like them, he knew that his sisters would almost rather die than wear what these girls were dressed in. Their dresses were chocolate brown with full skirts. Their hair was pulled back with matching chocolate colored headbands.
âWelcome to Walking Inn Circles,â said the first girl with longer hair.
âWould you like a room?â asked the second one.
Mariah and Seamus looked at each other, bewildered. âUmm, what do you mean?â asked Mariah.
âWalking Inn Circles. I-n-n. You know, as in âIâm going to stay at an inn tonightâ or âdo you like the innâŠââ
âAlright, Tatiana, they get it,â said the girl with longer hair, a little impatiently, then turned to Seamus and Mariah. âWalking Inn Circles is one of the most popular inns in the country, you must have heard of it before.â
âUmm, do you own this place?â asked Mariah.
âNo, our sister does though. Her name is Lily,â said the longer haired girl.
âOkay, where exactly are we?â
Taylor looked at them strangely. âWhy donât you ask Lily?â
âOkay, can we talk to her soon, then?â Seamus was now really confused. Was this some sort of cruel joke?
âDo you have an appointment?â asked the shorter haired girl, called Tatiana.
âNo, we donât. Do we need one? Is she available now?â asked Seamus.
âSorry, next time sheâs available would
Mariah did the same. They looked at each other and then simultaneously raced upstairs to see what had happened. They checked in every room, not finding anything unusual, until they reached Seamusâ bedroom.
