Amy wasn't too adamant about going to her uncle's will reading. She knew her whole family was going to be there. Amy had to go. He was her favorite uncle, and she just knew her uncle was going to leave her something in his will. Amy and her uncle did everything together. Amy had one week before she had to go to the reading of the will.

A week gave her time to get the nerve up and want to go. Amy stayed in her uncle's house, and now she was there all alone. That night when she was getting ready for bed, Amy started hearing strange noises coming from downstairs. Without thinking, she strolled down the steps to see what it was. When Amy reached the bottom of the stairs, the noise went away.

Not thinking twice about it, Amy went back upstairs. As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, the noise comes back. It was like this noise was trying to tell her something. Amy turned around and headed back down the stairs. Upon reaching the bottom, the noise stopped again. Amy decided to stay downstairs this time. She walked to the kitchen to make herself some hot tea before going back to bed.

While she was in the process of heating the water up, the noise comes back. It sounded as if someone was whispering to her. But she couldn't tell what it was saying. Amy starts walking closer to the sound. Amy reached her uncle's office, and the whispering stopped. Amy noticed the atmosphere change as she stood in the doorway of her uncle's office.

The darkness made it hard to see in front of her. Amy couldn't even find the light switch. She stumbled over everything until she reached the desk in the room with the lamp. Amy reached for the lamp, and something cold touched her arm. She jumped back to see what it was, but there was nothing there. Amy could not see anything.

Amy started reaching for the lamp to turn it on. This time she was able to turn it on without anything touching her. As Amy turned the light on and saw something out the corner of her eye. But when she looked in the corner of the room to see what it was, it disappeared. That frightened her, and Amy ran out of the office and shut the door behind her.

Amy was in her room before she realized what had happened. There was no way she was going back down the stairs again tonight. Amy went right to bed and ignored every other noise Amy heard throughout the night. There was no way she was going to check and see what these noises were. Amy was done investigating tonight, and she fell asleep.

Throughout the night, Amy keeps waking up from these odd nightmares. These dreams were about her uncle. He was trying to tell her something, but Amy couldn't understand what he was saying. Every time she was close to understanding, something sucked her out of the dream and into another. It keeps happening repeatedly. Amy couldn't stop it, and she couldn't understand her uncle either.

Amy is woken up by a loud BANG. It was so loud it startled her. Amy sprung out of bed and ran down the stair to find the maid in the kitchen cleaning up the glass off the floor. Amy was so startled she forgot to grab her robe off the end of the bed. Amy ran right back up the stairs to get dressed and ready for the day. Nothing was stopping her from finding out what her uncle is trying to show her.

Amy begins searching the office from where all the noise was coming from last night. Since it was daytime, she was not scared to go into the room her uncle died in. Amy started looking through everything on the desk. Amy found the calendar her uncle would write everything on. There weren't just appointments on this calendar, but everything from his passwords and places he had hidden things. This calendar was the one thing her uncle wouldn't let anyone see.

Amy was never allowed in her uncle's office. But there was a reason he wanted her in this office now. He wants her to find something. It had to be something important. Why would he allow her in this room now but not when he was alive. Being in her uncle's office was making Amy feel different. She felt like there was something extraterrestrial in there with her. It wasn't something that scared her but something that helped her find what her uncle wanted her to see.

Amy sat down and started reading the calendar, and it was not even on the correct month or day. Amy began looking into that. There had to be a reason that the calendar was on the wrong day and month. Amy read every day and looked closely at each day. There was a day that showed a password along with a website to go to. Amy's uncle was old, and he was always telling Amy everything he had planned and his passwords. Just in case he forgot. Amy thought she knew all his passwords.

Amy pulled out the laptop and looked up this site, and it turned out that it was a site for a secret bank account. When Amy started looking into this account, she noticed a statement with her name on it. Amy clicked it and was surprised what popped up on the screen. The report said, "there was twenty thousand dollars in it along with a note at the bottom that read, " Amy, this money is for you. Do what you want with it. I have saved this money for years to give to you for college." The letter went on and on. At the end of this note, it said there is another piece to this letter hidden in my office somewhere.

There were only a couple more days until the will read. Amy was not looking forward to it. But now she had something to look forward to now. Amy felt like these days went by so fast. Now that she has found this account that her uncle set up for her, Amy couldn't wait to hear this will her uncle wrote a week before he passed away. But it was getting dark, and Amy was ready for bed. Amy told the housekeeper that she could go home for the night. Not to come back until further notice. Amy was left in the house all alone.

Amy started walking up the stairs for bed, and she began to hear another noise coming from the hallway. It was not scaring her anymore because she knew it was her uncle now. It was like he was not leaving until he knew she was going to be taken care of. Amy thinks nothing of the noises and goes right to her room. Amy is lying in bed for five minutes and falls right to sleep.

It was three A.M., and she was woken by a startling noise. When she opened her eyes, her door was shut, and when she went to bed, Amy had left it open. Amy heard a noise in the hallway. It was not a pleasant noise but a scary one. It was something she did not want to check out. It sounded like there was something massive in the hall being drug. Amy strolls to her bedroom door with her eye half open and opens her door. But there is nothing to be seen in the hallway.

Amy closes her door and starts heading back to her bed. Amy was just about at her bed, and the noise started again, but this time it was louder and seemed like it was closer. Amy turned around and opened her door. This time she walked into the hall and looked around. There was nothing to be seen. Amy started walking down the hallway, looking in every room she passed. Nothing was out of place or moved.

Just as she turned around to head back to her room, Amy saw condensation rolling off the hallway walls. It seemed odd to her because the shower wasn't even running. Amy strolled back down the hallway toured the bathroom. When she reached the doorway of the bathroom, the faucet was running in the bathtub. Amy walks in and shuts it off. Just as she was exiting the room, the tap turned back on.

At this point, Amy knew it was not her uncle that was haunting her. It was something else. But she could not figure out what it could be and why it started after her uncle passed away. Why would my uncle's passing make any other ghost want to haunt this house? Amy thinks to herself. Maybe my uncle sying opened some type of door for other spirits to come through. But why are they haunting me? Amy thinks to herself.

Without another thought, Amy goes back to bed. But she could not fall asleep this time. Amy thought all night long about what was happening in her uncle's house. Amy lay there so long that the sun was coming over the trees in the backyard. Amy had another day ahead of her. This day was going to be better than the last couple of days she just had. Amy was not going to let anything stop her from finding what her uncle left her.

Amy knew it was going to be a long day. But she was not giving up until she finds this thing her uncle left her in his office. Amy heads down the stairs and into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee before going back to the office. As she sits at the table in the dining room drinking her coffee, the noises start again. It was to the point now that she just wanted them to stop.

Amy goes into the office and starts looking around, trying her best to not move too many things. Amy still had to start packing her uncle's stuff up and put them in storage. But she was not ready for that yet. Amy began to take the pictures down off the wall in her uncle's office. There was this one gigantic picture that would not come off the wall. It was screwed on the wall, and when Amy tried to pull it down, the picture swung open like a door.

Amy looked behind the picture, and there was a safe behind it. Amy went back to her uncle's desk and opened the Callander looking for the code to get into the safe. Amy flipped through several months looking for the code. Finally, on the last page, she found the passwords to everything. Amy walked back over to the safe in the wall and put the code in, and the safe popped open.

Amy couldn't believe her eyes. There was so much money in the wall safe Amy didn't know what to do. Amy closed the safe and locked it. She went back to the kitchen to make herself something to eat. Amy decided to eat something easy. While she was eating, Amy could not stop thinking. Why would her uncle have all this money in a safe? Amy's uncle had so many bank accounts, so why didn't he put this money in the bank? There were so many questions running through Amy's mind. It just wouldn't stop.

After Amy was done eating, she went into the reading room and started to pack up some books. Any tried to get as much done as possible before the day comes to hear the will her uncle wrote. There were seven book shelves in this room, and Amy had to pack it all. There was nothing that could deter Amy from getting this done. She was so determined to finish this room tonight that Amy worked on this one room until six A.M.

Amy was just about done when the books on the last shelf started to fly across the room. It was almost like the books had a mind of their own. Amy couldn't believe it. There was something in this house that wanted to hurt her. Well, that's what it seemed like. But Amy keeps on packing. There were only three books that flew across the room. Amy walked over to them to see the titles of the books.

Their titles were "On top the house, "The ghost that gets you "Before the long day."Those titles seemed odd to her. Whatever was in this house was trying to tell her something." Amy couldn't figure out if this spirit didn't want her in the house or what this thing was trying to tell her. But this spirit is not going to scare her out of this house. It was not going to be that easy.

Amy decided not to finish this room tonight, and she went to bed. Tonight Amy had to get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow is the big day. Amy was going to have to sit through the will reading. Amy just knew that her uncle would make it to where the house was being sold, and Amy had to move out. She was so nervous.

Amy could not fall asleep right away, so she went and took a long hot bath to calm her down and put her to sleep. Amy was sitting in the tub for at least an hour, and she didn't even know she dozed off in the tub. But by the time she woke up, the water was cold, and she was wrinkled. Amy looked like an eighty-year-old woman with bad skin.

Amy went to step out of the tub and grab her towel. Amy slipped and smacked her head off the floor. Amy hit her head so hard that she was confused for a minute. When Amy was able to get off the floor, she stood up and looked in the mirror that was over the sink. When Amy looked into the mirror, there was a message written on it. But you could only read it when the bathroom was steemed.

This message read, "Find the black book ." Amy didn't know what that meant. She was almost done in the reading room. So, where could this black book be? This house was so big and had so many hiding spots. Amy didn't know where to start. Amy was not about to start looking for it tonight. Amy had a huge day tomorrow, and she couldn't miss it or be late. Amy decided to go to bed for the night.

When Amy was lying in bed about to fall asleep, there was another noise coming from downstairs. Amy is not enjoying not sleeping. With the will reading tomorrow, everything should stop. Ignoring these noises was the best and only thing Amy could do, and Amy fell right to sleep. Not acknowledging another noise coming from outside her room. Amy slept through the night and woke up without bags below her eye the next morning.

Amy woke up wide-eyed and bushie-tailed as the sun rose above the trees. Amy has one hour until she had to go to the lawyer's office. Amy lay's in bed for at least twenty minutes, then throw's her blankets off her and sprung out of bed. Amy knew she had to get ready but was not looking forward to this whole day. Today was the day Amy was going to take her time on everything. She was not going to rush at all today.

When Amy is done sitting on the edge of her bed, she stood up and walked into the hallway. What she saw when walking into the hallway did not make her happy. Every picture that was hung in the hallway was on the floor. Everything was on the floor. Amy could not believe what she was looking at. How could these spirits trash the house? Amy walks down the stairs ignoring the mess she is walking past and into the kitchen.

It wasn't just the upstairs that was trashed. The whole house was messed up. There was only one room that was not touched. It seemed so odd to her that the only room that was not trashed was the reading room. The room with all the books in it. Why mess the rest of the house up and not this room? Amy was furious. Amy had so much to do today, and this spirit just made it to where Amy had even more to do. All Amy wanted was to be able to sit down and take a break from everything. Nothing was going as planned.

Amy was ready to give up, but she would not let this house pull her down and stop her from finishing her tasks. It was about time to leave and head to the lawyer's office. Amy still had to get dressed. Now she had to rush to finish everything she wanted to get done. There was less than an hour until she had to walk out the door. It was time to get dressed. She would have to wait to finish the house when she gets back from the lawyer's office.

By the time Amy was done getting dressed, it was time for her to rush out of the house and try to make it to the lawyer's office before she was late. It would not look good if Amy showed up late to this critical appointment. Amy made it through the traffic and into the parking lot just in time. By the time Amy was walking through the doors, the lawyer was just starting to read the will.

Amy was walking in the room when the lawyer read that Amy was left the house and all assets. Everyone else got the small things. But Amy was happy that she would not have to move. There was nothing to pay for because the house was paid off. Amy was going to be able to pay off her schooling and buy another car. It was a fantastic day for Amy.

When the lawyer was done, Amy was the first person out the door. She tried to get out of the office as fast as possible. Everyone started to yell. They were not happy at all. Amy had everything now, and the rest of the family barely had anything left to them. After Amy was worried all week about this day to find out she had nothing to worry about. Amy's uncle took care of her and didn't leave her on the street without anything. She comes out on top this time.

Now it was time to go home and take care of this spirit that was in the house. It was time to get this spirit out of the house. Amy could not go one living in this house being worried about what she will wake up to the next morning. So Amy goes home and heads right into the reading room. It was time to unpack everything that she had packed the past few days.

Amy walked into the house with her eyes closed, scared of what she would see as she walked through the door. Amy slowly opened her eyes. To her surprise, everything knocked off the walls earlier was all in a pile by the door. It almost seemed like this spirit was trying to tell her something. But she couldn't figure out what it could be. All Amy knew was she was done with this spirit messing the house up.

Amy sat down and called a group called "THE SPIRIT WHISPERER." They told her that the only day free they were able to come out would be tomorrow afternoon. Amy said that was fine. She couldn't wait for them to get there. But in the meantime, Amy had to clean up around the house. She started with the reading room. Amy had one last stack of books to put away as soon as she picked the pile up. There was a little black book sitting right on top.

The only reason it caught her eye was because of what the title said. Right there in front of her face, "Amy's eyes only." That just made Amy drop the rest of the books on the floor. She sat down in the chair and stared at the book. Who wrote this, Amy thought? As she opened the cover to the first page. It started off all about her life. But Amy couldn't figure out who wrote this book. After reading the first page and then flipping through the rest, there was no other name in the book.

It was starting to scare her. Amys uncle never told her about this book. It was never brought up while he was alive. Not ever after he died. So, where did this book come from? Everything was starting to scare her. Things were coming up in the house that she has never seen before. Amy couldn't wait for this day to be over. The more she stayed in the house, the more scared she becomes. Amy sat the book aside and finished putting the rest of the books away.

When Amy was done in the reading room, it was late. All Amy wanted to do was go to bed. Amy grabs the book with her name on it and takes it to her bedroom with her. She sits it down on her nightstand and goes into the bathroom to take a shower before climbing into bed. When Amy was done in the bathroom, Amy walks out and closes the door. As she did with every room, she walked out of, It was a habit that she could not change.

Amy walks into her bedroom and finds the little black book open on the end of her bed. That was not where she left it. Now Amy started to think that there was someone else in the house with her. There was nothing scarier than to believe you were not alone in the house that you live in. Amy grabs her phone and runs down to the front door. As Amy is running to the front door, she is on the phone calling the police. The police tell her that they are on the way to stay outside until they get there.

By the time the police show up, Amy was almost asleep in a chair on the front porch. Amy jumps up when she sees the law. They tell her that they will do a walk-through of the house before returning to the home. Amy lets the police do their job before going back into the place. After they are done walking through the house to find no one in the house. Amy walks the police down the steps and tells them thank you for checking the house for her and apologizes to them for wasting their time. Amy went on to say to them that it won't happen again.

After seeing them off, Amy walks back into the house and closes the door. She starts yelling, please leave me alone. There was nothing more Amy could say. She just wanted to be left alone. Amy only had the rest of this night to get through, and the ghost would be gone. The spirit whisper would be here in the morning, and Amy wouldn't have to be scared to live in her own house. When Amy was done yelling at the spirit, she went to her room.

The only thing Amy wanted to do was be able to sleep. Amy gets into bed and starts to fall asleep. Then the noises begin again. But this time, it sounded like it was in her head this time. Amy was fed up. Amy was going to figure out what this spirit wanted from her and who this spirit is. Amy couldn't wait any longer. She jumps out of bed, follows the whispering down the hallway and into the reading room.

The book Amy had taken to her room was in the reading room. How it got down there, she couldn't figure out. But Amy was going to do her best to figure it out. So Amy sat down and started reading this little black book. To her surprise, this book was all about her. It started off from the day she was born. It was her whole life in a book. Amy thought it was odd. But she continued to read on. The more she read, the more she noticed some stuff in this book that she didn't remember happening to her.

There was stuff in this book that started to scare her. Only because this little black book was different. It began when she was a baby, but it went into the years Amy hasn't even lived yet. Amy didn't know what to think about this book. But Amy continued to read on. The more she read, the more worried Amy was. When Amy reached the part in the book where Amy calls the spirit whispers. Just as Amy finished that sentence, she stopped reading.

Amy couldn't read another word from that book. It was like this little black book would tell her future, and she didn't want to know what was coming next, or did she? There were so many questions running through her mind. If Amy continued to read this book, would that meant that her future was set in stone, or would she be able to change it?

So Amy stopped reading and sat there and thought about what she should do next. The only thing that was set in stone as she was not going to read this book anymore until she was able to speak to the spirit whispers first. Amy sat the book down and decided to go back to bed. Amy didn't want to miss her guests that would be at her door soon. Amy felt that if she did what this spirit wanted, she would be left alone and sleep well at night. Amy was able to sleep three hours before she had to get up.

The sun was rising, and it was around four A.M., just about time for Amy to wake up. Amy was always the one to get up with the sun. She never let an hour pass knowing she was busy. Now that her uncle was no longer around, Amy had to take care of this big house on her own now. Amy did have a housekeeper, but the housekeeper was let go for now.

It was time for Amy to start getting her stuff together. She was done getting ready and was waiting for the spirit people to get to the house. All Amy wanted to do was figure out who this spirit is and what it wants from her. But the time is coming soon. Amy went down into the kitchen and started getting coffee ready for her guests. Just as the coffee was finished brewing, there was a knock at the door.

Amy walks to the door and opens it. The whisperer was standing there waiting to be invited into the house. Amy asks her to come in, and as soon as Sara, the spirit whisper, walks through the door, her facial expression changes. Amy looks at Sara with a worried look. Sara tells Amy it's going to be ok stop worrying, now let's start in the room where everything started.

As Amy and Sara started walking to the reading room, the door slammed just as they approached. They both stop and stand at the door for a minute, not knowing what to do. Then Sara says, ok, why don't you tell me a little about what has been going on. Amy didn't know where to begin. So Amy started at the point when her uncle passed away. She told Sara that nothing like this has ever happened to her until her uncle passed away.

Sara said, ok, well, then let's start in another room in the house. Where have the other encounters happened? Amy answers Sara by telling her in her bedroom and sometimes in the bathroom. But most of the action is in the reading room. Amy tells Sara ill show you the bedroom fallow me. They both walk up the stairs and into her room. On the way up, Amy tells her how the little black book moved from one room to another, and she was not the one to move it. Amy couldn't understand how it went from one room to another.

Amy was under the impression that ghosts were not able to move objects. Sara tells Amy that they can move things in a house on some occasions, but it doesn't happen often. This is a special occasion. This ghost must be trying to tell you something or show you something. Now we just have to figure out what it could be. So let's start.

Sara turns on her tape recorder and explains what she feels as she walks into Amy's room. Sara explains that the room feels cold, and she sees a mist-looking figure in the corner next to Amy's bed. Sara walks closer to the mist. But the closer she gets, the spirit starts to disappear. So Sara stops walking, toured it, and starts speaking to the soul trapped in the house. Sara was asking all kinds of questions. But she was not getting an answer back.

The more Sara tried made the situation worse. Both of them were not getting any answers. So Sara says, why don't we try in the reading room again. So Amy and Sara walked back down to the reading room. They were about to try again in the reading room.

When they reached the door, they both stopped and looked at each other. Sara reached her arm out for the door, turned the knob slowly, and pushed the door open. It was not easy to open. Sara said it felt like someone was pushing back on the door. It felt like whatever was in this room didn't want her in there. But they entered the room anyway.

Sara was the first one in the room. She stepped in and stood there for a minute before saying anything. Then out of nowhere, Sara said I feel a presence in this room. It's an older man that has not been gone long. Amy tells Sara about her uncle just passing away. Sara replies back NO, an older man, and he is dressed in a long black trench coat. With a top hat on. Sara goes on to tell Amy that he is standing in the corner by the desk.

Amy asked, well then, who is he? Sara replied. I'm not sure, but we will figure it out. Sara continued to say we are not done yet. Sara began walking further into the reading room. Just as she reached the red chair sitting in the middle of the room, Sara stopped. Sara stood there with her eyes closed, turning in circles slowly. The more Sara spun, it made Amy wonder if this lady knew what she was talking about.

Then Sara stopped spinning. Sara was facing the desk when she stopped spinning. Sara walked over to the desk and sat in the chair. As she was sitting there, Sara started talking to Amy. Sara had all these questions she keeps asking Amy. But half the questions Amy didn't know the answers to. But she tried her best to answer them. All Amy could say was something in this house that won't let me sleep at night. Amy said every night, all night, these noises won't stop. Amy tells Sara that voices are whispering to her. But she couldn't understand what they were saying.

Amy starts telling Sara how she's been trying to understand what they want her to find or do, but she's not getting anywhere. Then Amy asks how she can figure out what they are saying. Sara tells her, just close her eyes and listen. Let your mind go blank and let their voice come to you. Then you will be able to understand what they want from you. Just don't try so hard.

Sara says, lay down on the floor and try what I just told you to do and see if it helps. So Amy lays on the reading room floor and closes her eyes. Amy lay there for almost five minutes, then it felt like the floor just left from under her, and Amy started falling. Amy opens her eyes, and the room was changed. Amy was no longer in the reading room.

When Amy opened her eyes, she not only was in another room, but she didn't understand what was happening. But Amy embraced the situation. Amy was determined to figure out what this spirit was telling her. In the background, Amy could hear Sara's voice. Her voice was soft and seemed so far away. When Amy turned around, she saw her great-grandfather. He stood there with his arm extended out, pointing to the corner across the room.

Amy walks over to the corner, but there was nothing there. Amy turns around to look back at her great-grandfather, but he was no longer there. When Amy turned back around, facing the corner, there was a book on the shelf. Amy reached out to grab the book, and when she went to grab the book off the shelf, it wouldn't budge. But as she was pulling on the book, it opened a secret door.

With Sara still in the background guiding Amy, Sara tells Amy to walk through the door. So Amy listens to Sara and walks through the door. It was a long dark hallway. Amy continued to slowly walk down the hall. When Amy was close to reaching the end of the hallway, she saw a bright light. It was so bright Amy had to close her eyes while continuing to walk into the room. After her eyes were used to the light, she was able to see what was in the room.

There was a room full of people Amy had never met before. But there was one person Amy recognized, and it was her uncle. As Amy walked closer to him, He backed up. Then Amy stopped and asked if he's been the one haunting her? Amy's uncle nodded with a no. So Amy asked then, who is it? Amy never received an answer back. Then Amy saw her mother that had been passed away for many years.

Amy ran to her mother and hugged her. But Amy's mother pulled back and said, you have to get out of here; it is not your time. Amy pleaded with her mother, please tell me why I am being haunted in my uncle's house? Amy's mother said I can't answer that but please go, NOW. Amy turned around and started to walk back into the dark hallway. But before she left the bright room, Amy turned around one last time to say goodbye to her mother. But when Amy turned around, the space was empty. She was the only person in the room.

Once Amy saw she was the only person in the room, Amy turned back around and started to walk back into the hallway. This long hallway Amy had to walk down all alone. So Amy stood tall and continued down the hallway. When Amy reached the end of the hallway, she was in another room. It was not the room she started in. This place was a vast room that had music playing.

Amy continued into this ample space. She was the only one there. As Amy spun around like she was dancing alone, something caught her eye, and she stopped dancing. Amy was looking at her uncle again. This time he told her that it was time to go. She was no longer welcome in this void. Amy said, please, just one more question. Who is haunting me in your house? Her uncle said it's not haunting. I have been trying to show you how to control your future with that little black book you found.

Amy said," the little black book that I found amongst all your books?" He replied, yes, that book has been passed down through our family, and now it is yours. I hope you can find all the answers you have been looking for in that book. But read it wisely. Amy's uncle said, and remember, you can always change your outcome. Don't let the book control you, Amy, You have to overcome the text.

Amy's uncle said, now you have to leave, or you will be stuck here forever. He continued to say I love you, my dear. Don't let anyone try and tell you that you can't do something. Because you can do everything. You have a gift that not many have a chance to experience. Don't take it for granted.

Amy waved to her uncle and started to walk away. Amy was back in the dark hallway. She could not wait to get back to reality. When Amy reached the end of the hallway, she entered the reading room and saw herself lying on the floor with Sara sitting next to her. Sara was talking to her, but Amy could not hear her voice anymore. Amy could see Sara's mouth move but not what she was saying.

Something inside of Amy told her spirit to lay down where her body was on the floor. So Amy laid down, and as soon as she lay down, she woke up. Amy was back in her body, and she knew what to do now. Amy stood up and told Sara it was time for her to go. Amy walked Sara to the door and showed her out. Sara was confused, but she left the property.

Amy shut the door and went back to the reading room. Amy knew what had to be done now. Amy finished putting the books on their shelves and went to her room. The only book Amy did not put on the shelf was the little black book her uncle told her about. This book was going to stay with Amy from now on. It would never leave her site or side.

Amy had a good feeling about the night to come. As Amy laid down in her bed, she had the book in her hand was reading it. As she was reading it, Amy fell asleep. The book fell out of her hand and on the floor. But this night was going to be different than any other night. Amy was going to be able to sleep all night, And she did just that.

The next morning she woke up and looked out her window. As the sun was coming up, Amy thought to herself, everything is over. I can now live my life peacefully. Amy was not bothered at all that night while she was asleep. Amy did just that. Amy had all the answers in her hand to any question she had. Nothing was going to misguide her again. Amy lived the rest of her days happy and free.
