Sisters Call 911 After Seeing What's Inside This Mysterious Rock

When the young sisters Stacy and Mindy were playing at their grandma Willow's house, they accidentally dropped her stone ball statue without her knowing about it and breaking it in the process. At first, the girls are terrified about their grandmother's reaction but then they found out what was actually in the statue and it was obvious that nobody was ever supposed to see this.

Mindy and Stacy were completely caught of guard by what they had just discovered. They had come back to the broken ball at midnight with the intention of gluing it back together before grandma would see it but that was now the last thing on their mind. They debated waking up their grandma to confront her with this or if they were better of waiting for the morning. Maybe they should not even tell their grandma about it and just immediately call their mother or even the police. But while they were debating this, suddenly the door to the study slammed open and the girls started screaming when grandma Willow came barging in the room. But what had the girls found in the statue and what secrets had grandma Willow kept from everybody for so long? Young Stacy and Mindy would visit their grandmother twice a month at least. Their mother would take them in the early morning already and while they were playing in the living room, she was mostly chatting with her mother in the other room. Still, their mom was always hesitant to leave her playful kids there. Grandma Willow had a notable personality. To most people that knew her, she would come across as a bit of a bitter old woman that was obviously scared that her life would come to an end. To her grandkids on the other hand, it was made clear that she loved them more than anything in the world. They couldn't do anything wrong in her eyes. Stacy and Mindy often sat down with their grandma and begged to hear old stories about her past that they hadn't heard before. They wanted her to come up with funny anecdotes of grandpa or anything that Willow did when she was their age. Still, grandma would stay silent most of the times about such topics. She would occasionally share a thought that she might have. But most of the times, old Willow actively tried to focus on the here and now. She explained to her grandchildren that there was no point in talking or thinking about the past. Instead, their grandmother wanted to fully focus on making new memories in present times. This, to her grandchildren, only made grandma Willow seem like an even more mysterious figure. Their mother insisted on respecting their grandmother's close attitude, which is why they would just play in the living room today. But soon, they were going to learn a lot more about Willow than they could have ever imagined. From time to time, the sisters would switch up the room they would be playing in, so they made their way up to grandma's study. She would allow her grandkids nose about in her house most of the times. Old Willow stepped out for a smoke, as she did so often, so she had no idea where her kids were at that moment. On the shelves of the study were many items that interested young Stacy and Mindy. Willow had been an antique collector for quite some time, and this room contained her most valuable objects. The girls saw many old small statues and next to it a handful of trophies. The sisters had no idea how these prices were accomplished. Stacy's curiosity took her over completely, and she decided to grab a chair to stand on, so that she could just about reach the shelf to try to reach for one of the trophies that seemed most impressive to her. She was able to touch the base of the object with the tip of her fingers, but this did not end according to plan at all. In her attempt, she lost her balance and consequently hit the shelf to refrain herself from falling. The whole shelf started to shake, which at first seemed to have a good ending, but then the girls witnessed a ball made from stone falling off its holder at the end of the shelf. It rolled over the edge and fell down towards the ground. The sisters couldn't move anymore and held their breath. As it fell, they were just praying that it would not break. With a big thump, it hit the ground and as can be expected from a stone ball, the object immediately cracked open on impact. The rest of the items on the shelf remained in their position. Stacy and Mindy looked at the ball, then at each other, and then panicked for a second. They instantly realized that there was no way they would be allowed in this room anymore if they would tell what had just happened. They still had so many items to explore in here. Grandma was going to be furious, that was for sure. Stacy quickly came off the chair which she brought back to its original place. They reunited after which an attempt was made to put the pieces of the stone ball back together. Luckily, the floor itself was not so much damaged. While they were investigating the situation, they could already hear the back door of the house open and close. From the other room, the sisters heard their names called out. Would their grandmother or mother already know what had happened in the study room? Willow would soon find them in here, they thought. So for now, they decided to just put the shards under the desk and hope that grandma wouldn't notice anything until they would have come up with a better plan. They came running down and tried to act as if nothing had happened. It worked, for now, because neither mother nor grandmother looked at them in an abnormal way. The next objective would now have to be to keep their grandma out of the study at all costs. The children therefore tried to keep her attention for the rest of the day. This turned out to go relatively well in the following hours. The girls had planned to stay with her grandmother for the night as well until after breakfast. Willow seemed to have no idea what had taken place beforehand and just carried on with her day as normal. It appeared that no one had heard the stone break and thus the girls came up with a new plan. Their mother was going to leave when they'd eaten dinner, after which grandmother went to bed when she had tucked in the girls. Stacy and Mindy waited till this moment to sneak out of the room and go into the study again, trying to fix the stone ball. Willow's room was right next to the study, so they had to be really quiet. Some hours before, Stacy was asked to go and help with the cooking while Mindy was wandering around the garage to try and find anything that could help with the fixing of the broken item. In a dusty old closet, she was checking a couple of boxes until she found an old but functional tube of super glue. Mindy had successfully sneaked the glue into their bedroom and now it was time to try it out. However, they were put in bed a lot earlier and so it took some time before grandma's bedroom was made ready for the night. The girls took turns listening through the door. Eventually, the moment came when Stacy heard the first snoring. The girls had been nervous about grandmother going to her study in the final hours before she went to sleep. Luckily, this did not happen as her favorite TV show was on, so the tired Willow had gone from her living room to her bedroom immediately. So far so good, the girls thought, and when the house had been completely silent for about half an hour, they couldn't wait any longer. The sisters felt as if it was safe enough now for them to come out by slowly opening the door to the hall and sneaking over the creaking wooden planks to the study. They walked very cautiously and eventually arrived while armed with their super glue. Now the nervousness calmed down somewhat as they arrived without any sounds and the shards had been on the floor in the exact same spot they'd left them. When the study room's door had been closed behind them, Mindy turned on the light to have a better look at the mess. They had no idea at this point that they were about to discover something life-changing. Mindy and Stacy stood in the quiet study, their hearts beating fast. They had come to fix grandma Willow's broken stone ball statue with some glue, hoping to cover up their mistake, but as they picked up the pieces, something strange caught Mindy's eye. Stacy, Mindy whispered, look at this. Stacy leaned in, shining a small flashlight on the inside of one of the large shards. There, tucked into the stone, was a small gray shape with tiny segments and claws. It looks like a crayfish, said Stacy, her voice trembling with excitement, but it's a fossil. Both girls stared at it, hardly believing their eyes. They had never seen a real fossil up close. The discovery made them forget all about fixing the statue in secret. They looked at each other, wondering what to do next. Should we wake grandma now? Mindy asked. I'm scared she'll be mad about the broken statue. Stacy gently ran her finger over the fossil's ridges. I think we have to tell her, this is too important to hide. The two sisters tiptoed to grandma Willow's bedroom. They knocked softly and heard her voice from inside, asking who it was. It's us, Stacy said. We we have to show you something. Grandma Willow opened her door, looking tired and a bit worried. Why are you two up so late? She asked sternly. Then she noticed the broken pieces in Stacy's arms. My stone ball, she gasped. What happened? Stacy hung her head. I'm sorry, it fell off the shelf when I was trying to reach a trophy. We were scared to tell you. Grandma Willow's eyes were sad at first, but then she saw the weird shape in the hollow of the stone. She took a closer look, and her eyes grew wide. How did... She began, then stopped. She gently touched the fossil with trembling hands. I knew there was something inside this statue, but I never told anyone. I was scared people would take it from me. Mindy and Stacy glanced at each other, surprised. So you knew there was a fossil inside? Mindy asked softly. Grandma Willow nodded slowly. I bought this statue years ago. I had it tested by a friend who said there was an ancient crayfish hidden in it. I didn't want to lose it to a museum or scientists who might take it away. But now, seeing you girls so excited, I realize I've been keeping this to myself for too long. The sisters held their breath, waiting to see if she would yell at them. Instead, Grandma Willow sighed and gave them a small, tired smile. I'm proud of you for being brave and telling me the truth. Are you angry with us, Grandma? Stacy asked. Grandma Willow shook her head. I'm not happy the statue is broken, but I'm also relieved. The secret is out, and honestly, I think we should share this fossil with experts who can study it properly. Mindy felt a burst of excitement. Really? Do you mean we should take it to a museum? Grandma Willow nodded. Yes, I believe that's the right thing to do. The next morning, Mindy, Stacy, and Grandma Willow sat at the kitchen table with the girls' mother, explaining everything that happened. They expected their mom to be upset at first, but she quickly became amazed. A fossilized crayfish hidden in a statue, she said, shaking her head in wonder. That's incredible. Grandma Willow told her that she had kept it a secret for many years. I didn't want to lose it, she admitted, but now I see that knowledge is more important than hiding my fears. The family decided to visit the local natural history museum later that day. Grandma Willow wrapped the broken statue pieces in an old towel, making sure the fossil inside was safe. Mindy and Stacy carried the glue and some of the smaller shards, feeling excited and a little nervous. When they arrived, a friendly museum curator with round glasses carefully lifted the fossil out of the broken rock. His eyes went wide. This is a rare find, he said in a serious tone. A crayfish fossil of this age is very special. Thank you for bringing it to us. He and other museum workers asked Grandma Willow about the fossil's story. She explained how she first got the statue and why she kept it secret. The curator nodded kindly. We will take good care of it, he promised, and if you allow us, we would love to display it once our study is done. Grandma Willow looked at her granddaughters, then back at the Outside the museum, Mindy and Stacy walked with their grandmother, feeling proud. We're sorry we broke the statue, Mindy said, but we're glad we found the fossil. Grandma Willow smiled and squeezed their hands. Sometimes mistakes lead to wonderful discoveries, she said. I'm glad we can share this with everyone who visits the museum.
