"I thought there would be more people." Roxy said. "So did I." Julius said.

"Think they moved away?" Roxy asked. "I'm hoping so. For now, let's get to the motel." Julius said as he led the way. Walking up to a small building with plenty of small shacks on the property the two found the main buildings' door unlocked. Stepping inside the place looked like it needed a fresh coat of paint, but the lights were still on. Walking up to the counter Roxy lightly rang the bell.

"Someone has to be here. The lights are still on." Julius said. After a few moments a door slowly creaked open as an old woman walked through. "Hmm? Is someone ringing that bell?" The old woman asked, squinting in their direction.

"Been a while since we had guests. What's your business here?" She asked as she walked over to the counter. "Well my boyfriend is..." Roxy said before a startled Julius put a hand over her mouth. "Uh...Just looking for work." He said as the old woman raised an eyebrow. "Didn't realize anyone was hiring." She said as Roxy looked at Julius in confusion.

"You can have room number 40. Its the cleanest we have." she said handing Roxy the key. "Thanks." Roxy said as they walked away. "Why didn't you tell her you were coming back to see family?" she asked.

"Because believe it or not...I went to school with her." Julius said. "Like she was your teacher?" Roxy asked as he shook his head. "She was a classmate. I almost didn't recognize her."

"What? But she looks so old and you're young." Roxy said. "Did she get held back or something?"

"No...I have a feeling things might be worse than we thought." Julius said as they headed to room 40.

"Worse?" Roxy said as they entered the room. "Okay...so you know when I said that this was a mining town?" Julius asked. "Yeah." Roxy said. "What they were mining is something people would...not normally find." Julius said.

"I believe you mentioned magic stones before, or was there more to it than that?" Roxy asked as she sat on the bed.

"Yeah, the night you first freaked out. So then I'm guessing an age stone or something made your class mate older?" Roxy asked. "Most likely...Though I don't think even she realizes what has happened." Julius said as he sat down on the bed. "Has me worried for anyone else still in town...I don't know how we'd fix this, especially if the stone that effected them were sold off."

"Maybe we should get better info. Your parents may know something." Roxy said.
