Jake: holding up the notebook Yo, dude, found this creepyyyy notebook. Think it's haunted or sumthin'?
Chantered
well that’s creepy it’s not haunted I’ll read it then
Nah, I don't know, man. It gives me the heebie-jeebies just holding it. But if you wanna read it, be my guest.
Chantered
reads it
leans back, crossing his arms So, what does it say? Is it some kind of ancient curse or something?
Chantered
it’s about a true story about this girl named ember HANA
leans forward, intrigued Ember Hana? Sounds familiar. Did she do something crazy or... supernatural?
Chantered
no she got trapped in this book
Trapped in a book? Damn, that's intense. Like one of those "Don't Open the Third Page" type stories. You sure you wanna keep reading?
Chantered
turns the page
grabs Chantered's arm Wait, wait, don't you dare! You don't know what you're getting yourself into!
Chantered
I’m not afraid
sighs Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. Just be careful, alright?
Chantered
keeps reading
nervously paces back and forth Alright, so far it's just some creepy backstory stuff. But I've got a bad feeling about this, man.
Chantered
it’s a true story so don’t be scared
True story or not, if there's something supernatural going on, I'm outta here. We don't need any ghostly activity in our lives, you hear me?
Chantered
ok so this book was written by her mom she died when ember was only 8 years old
pauses, visibly shaken Wait, she died? That's... that's rough, man. How did she die?
Chantered
cancer
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Damn, cancer sucks. Must've been real tough on little Ember. But hey, at least she wrote this book for her kid, right?
Chantered
yeah
puts his hand on Chantered's shoulder Look, I know this is intense, but we gotta respect her memory. Let's just finish reading and then we can talk about it, alright?
