worry. It must be a cat or something.” Caroline could easily see that Elena’ mother’ s hands were shaking.“ Mom, you ok?” said Elena.“ Do you remember the story about Jack-o-Devil?” said Elena’ s mom. Elena shook her head, meaning no. Elena’ s mom started talking:“ Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack. He loved his family more than everything. One day, they( Jack and his family) decided to go on a Halloween trip. Everything seemed to be ok. But while the driver was driving the car, he crashed. The only people who survived was Jack and the bus driver. Because of his anger, Jack killed the bus driver. Then he got in the prison. But a month ago, he escaped by a wizard or a witch. He wanted everyone to call him Jack-o-Devil. He started kidnapping people, especially parents so little children can understand how he is the feeling. That Jack feels about his family. He wants everyone to be equal with him. He wants nobody to have a family. Now he is stronger than he used to be. I think he is back. That is because …” Elena’ s mom started crying.“ What?” Said Elena.“ Your cousin is missing.” They all looked back to Elena. She just stood there and started crying. She ran outside of the room.“ Elena!” Shouted Bonnie. But it was too late. Elena disappeared. Elena’ s mom was crying. Caroline and Bonnie were thinking about a solution. Then Caroline realized his backpack in the room which was at the end of the corridor.“ Give me a second please.” said Caroline and she ran to the end of the corridor. She opened her backpack. She checked out if there was anybody listening or watching her. When she was sure, she took the mirror out. There was a pumpkin and a signature below the pumpkin picture. She had a lump in her throat, her mouth went dry. She looked at the signature. She couldn’ t believe, she didn’ t want to. Jack was here, he could be anywhere, or he could be anyone in this party. Caroline took the mirror and she tried her best to hide that she was scared. She was sure of something, Jack must be someone who was new, and of course Jack is a he. These information makes it easier. One option to choose. Jack was Klaus. But Caroline didn’ t know how to prove this to everyone or to herself. She hoped the mirror could help her. This time, the mirror showed something Caroline wanted. There was a hint.“ Better than nothing!” Said Caroline, she was trying to be positive.“ Each mirror shows the truth and no one can change who they are …” Caroline stopped. She might have the answer. The only thing she must do was to show the mirror to Klaus. That looked easy. But where she could find Elena and Rebecca? She forced herself to think harder. She had a plan … First she decided to find Elena and Rebecca. For this part the mirror helped her. The mirror even turned into a magical glasses. When she looked through the glasses, she noticed that see saw everything differently. There was an orange path. She was looking from Jack’ s eyes. She slowly started walking. She didn’ t realize the two eyes watching her. After walking a little, Caroline reached to a scary-spooky house. It was also old. She took a deep breath and she opened the door. Her fingers were shaking. This was difficult for her because; when she took out the glasses, she couldn’ t see anything except the oak trees. Put she put on the glasses, there was a scary-spooky house exactly where she is standing. She decided to believe the glasses, the mirror. She started walking. After she examined everywhere she started climbing the stairs. She smiled big enough to show all her teeth. There were Rebecca and Elena. They were tied up. Caroline untied the ropes. Now they were free. They hugged each other. Everything was good till the noise coming from downstairs. The noise wasn’ t coming closer. It was a sound of a girl. It was Bonnie. Caroline breathed a sigh of relief. They went out of the house.“ How did you find us Bonnie?” said Caroline.“ I followed you till here, but there is nothing here!” said Bonnie. Elena, Rebecca and Caroline laughed.“ What’ s so funny?” said Bonnie. Caroline showed the glasses and she started telling her story starting from that day, where she found the mirror till how can they beat Jack-o-Devil or Klaus …“ Help me!” yelled Caroline trying to make everybody focus on her.“ Help please!” now everybody seemed to be nervous.“ There is something bad here. He is trying to catch me!” Klaus was looking really confused. After a second everybody started running to help Caroline. But when they arrived the place where was the noise is coming from, there was nothing except some long vines. Now everyone was confused. They rebound by the noise coming from vines. There was an enormous mirror standing where the vines used to be.“ NO!” screamed Klaus. He was turning into Jack. Now his handsome face replaced by an ugly-scary-spooky face.“ Go Elena!” shouted Caroline. Elena and Rebecca threw the net on the devil. For protection Bonnie jumped on the monster. Jack couldn’ t escape. Jack was sorry. He promised that he won’ t be a bad guy again. None of the people believed. Jack got a little bit mad. Maybe more than a little.“ You guys wanted this to happen.” he was still in the net. He threw some sparkles,( which was orange) so nobody could see anything. When the sparkles went away, Jack was gone. Everybody seemed happy.“ Ok, who wants to continue to party?!” said Elena. Everybody went inside to continue parting. Everyone thought he was gone. But he was not. He was waiting for the right time...
