One year later, Tarmin and his friends return to the gardens where many children who used to play in the gardens have apparently vanished into thin air. One of Tarmin's friends, Hal, shows some skepticism about the vanishing children, believing that they simply moved away. Izmay, another of Tarmin's friends, suggests that they sneak into the gardens to see if it's safe and is adamant in her decision to walk right up to the house to show her friends how brave she is, something she believes she'll prove by entering the house and finding the silver tray that the old couple would usually put the sweets on. Tarmin decides to accompany her and, with help from the other children, climbs up over the wall and enters the garden with Izmay, but not before telling Hal to make sure that no one else follows them if they don't come back. | One year later, Tarmin and his friends return to the gardens where many children who used to play in the gardens have apparently vanished into thin air.

In the gardens, Tarmin and Izmay are saddened to find the place overgrown with vegetation, but they still continue on their mission to find the silver tray. Following the path, they soon come across a statue of an angel with her hands over her eyes. Izmay suggests that the statue is sad about the gardens being overgrown, but Tarmin senses something unsettling about the statue. When they reach the terrace, they look back at the statue to see that the angel has looked up and is now staring at them. As they go up the terrace steps, they see more of the angel statues that have apparently been placed rather haphazardly. | In the gardens, Tarmin and Izmay are saddened to find the place overgrown with vegetation, but they still continue on their mission to find the silver tray.

Izmay wonders who placed the statues everywhere, but Tarmin notices even more statues around the edge of the lake. Both Izmay and Tarmin are scared of the statues, but they still need to enter the house so they can find the silver tray. Turning back to the house, the children see that the angel statues on the terrace have moved closer to them. Managing to avoid the statues, they manage to get into the house through the unlocked door into the house. | Izmay wonders who placed the statues everywhere, but Tarmin notices even more statues around the edge of the lake.
