Something’s alive in my pocket on my way home from the forest. It’s purring against my hip! I panic for a second—what if it’s some forest animal, like a frog, which totally creeps me out? Then I realize, oh, it’s just my phone vibrating. Maybe Sara’s calling from the royal palace on Princess Kate’s cell phone. Wait, I didn’t take my phone to the forest. There’s only one thing in my pocket, the cameo brooch I stole from Cady’s cabin. It chills my hand as I flip it every which way, looking for a hidden watch battery. Nothing unlatches or slides open. Then, why is the thing vibrating like a Mexican jumping bean in the palm of my hand, shooting shivers up my arm?

Did I just see the cameo woman blink her eyes? It’s gotta be an optical illusion. Angled in a better light, yes, she blinked! I fling the spooky thing to the ground facedown, bury it under magnolia leaves, and run like crazy.

Three steps from our kitchen door, I have second thoughts and turn back to rescue the cameo. It hangs in my pocket like a stone, silent and still, until I get upstairs and hide it in a shoebox on my closet shelf.

The cameo is going back to Cady the second I get to the cabin in the woods!
