Part 2 ~ 254 words
Clue 1: The Wrapping Paper ~ 52 words
Thistle notices that her anonymous gift and the gift her sisters gave her are all wrapped in the same paper. After further examination, she sees that all three pieces of paper have symbols on them which end up spelling a secret message that leads her to the start of the scavenger hunt.
Red Herring 1: The Scavenger Hunt ~ 53 words
Although the wrapping paper led Thistle to the scavenger hunt, that doesn’t mean that the scavenger hunt is actually a clue. Solving the puzzles just distracts Thistle from finding out how she has the word fire if it belongs to someone else. “Surely no one would sacrifice a word merely for my birthday.”
Clue 2: Her Mother’s Scarf ~ 88 words
As Thistle continues on with her scavenger hunt, she sees a glimpse of the navy scarf with shimmering stars that her mother always wore when she was little before she died. Thistle remembers her mother telling her that the scarf was a one-of-a-kind and Thistle realizes that someone must have put the scarf there as a hint in the scavenger hunt which helped her solve both clues. After all, Thistle’s mother often said, she would sacrifice anything for her baby girls, which could mean, even someone else’s word.
Red Herring 2: Leonora, Thistle’s Sister ~ 61 words
Leonora runs into Thistle while she is on her scavenger hunt, and Leonora interrogates Thistle on why she is in the woods, near the fountain that used to be sacred to her family. Thistle asks the same questions back, but this ends up using a lot of Thistle’s time, and it makes Leonora seem guilty of something even when she isn’t.
