analyzing whether if magic was real or not, Therefore, Mabel finally came to the conclusion that she must have ate something that made her hallucinate like some nutmeg or mushrooms? Mabel stared out the window, A new Family was moving into a new home in the neighborhood next door where she saw adults and teenagers carrying boxes and some carrying suitcases, there was a girl around her age, a teenage boy and the last person to step

outside the vehicle was an old woman which made Mabel gasp in astonishment, it was the old woman she saw three days ago, the

person who dissapered with just a precise wave of a wand-like-stick, the person who

dissapeared like she become air, was going to be her new neighbor, She heard her door creak and her mother stepped in,” Mabel, can you help me hang the laundry?”.

Mabel was writing a fictional story in her room, it was nearing midnight and Mabel have to

finish her story right away, when she was about to stand up an envelope suddenly slammed onto her closed window and fell into the garden, Mabel suddenly struck with

curiosity, how did a random letter got all the way here?, Even Mabel was afraid of the dark, she head downstairs sticking her mind to the cookies in the cabinet, but first she have to fetch the letter before giving herself a reward, Mabel thought of this things as she head into the front door, using her blanket as a cloak to decrease her fear, she finally reached the spot where the letter remain,”maybe it’s just a lost letter of my neighbor,” Mabel thought, The cold

Midnight air swayed back and forth and even its a very normal nature of midnight, Mabel ran inside the house frightened by her own

imagination, Mabel ran upstairs, reached her bedroom door and jumped back inside quickly shutting the door behind her panting, she was successfully holding the letter, but she just realized she forgot the cookies but she adapted quickly, Mabel read the back of the letter written in elegant handwriting :

“Mabel Ashler, blk. 4 lot. 12 meddleton st.”

Mabel stared at the letter, daring to believe it, she expected the letter to be a lot letter for her neighbor Because it slammed into her window which was most likely to be the cause of the wind, “but why was the receiver me itself?,” Mabel thought in a suspecting manner, no one ever sent her letters before. There was a green stamp with a logo of two wands in a cross in front of an open Book

Mabel ripped open the envelope and read:

Mabel Ashler

Blk. 4 Lot 12, Meddleton St.

Middleton District
