Fina felt flustered until she walked out of the castle, cool air hitting her face.
She didn't know if she felt better talking to Tyrell or not. The feelings are all just mixed up.
"Hi"
Fina looked up to see Serene Berry in front of her.
Serene golden hair, eyes and body makes her look flawless.
"Hi" Fina said
"Did Talon said anything about us?"
"Oh. I… don't know but you seem off this morning"
"Yeah. We are taking a break" Serene said
Fina gaze fell on her golden bracelet.
"See you later" Fina said and began to walk towards their house castle.
"Fina" Serene called.
Fina turned back to look at her.
"Don't give up" Serene said and walked away.
Fina stood, looking confused as ever.
*******
"Oh. I wasn't expecting him to say that. I was hoping for a 'I'll help you find the book thing'" Zo said, unwrapping a bubble gum and tossing it into her mouth.
Fina sat on the arm of the couch.
"I'm confused. He sounds off"
"I think you are having mixed feelings. He must have left your heart fluttering when he touched your hair"
Fina blushed.
"Ha! You do like Tyrell Swift!"
Fina covered her face in embarrassment.
"You are hopeless. I should let Jefferson get at you more. You deserve it"
Zo rolled her eyes.
"Fin"
Fina looked at her.
"Are we going to stop?"
Fina heart began to pound.
"I- don't know. I feel - confused. It's almost as if I am scared. Like something bad is going to happen if we stop"
"I was wondering if we should call Jefferson" Zo said
"Oh. The phone"
They both turned to the Tv.
"I know how to do it now. Call Jefferson. Aries territory" Zo said
The Tv visual changed to Aries territory and began a search.
It stopped at J and began to ring.
A green haired girl with green eyes appeared.
"Who are you?" She asked
"Um… We want-" Zo began
"Amy, I thought I saw Bryce Parker right now"
Amy eyes widened.
"Oh my God. I'll be back!" Amy said and flew away.
Shelly sat down.
"I really should thank Walker for bestowing us this vacation. No more scary classes" Shelly said
She was dressed in a blue Cardigan and red shorts.
"You talked to Swift yet?" Shelly asked
"Yes. He wants us to stop" Fina replied
Shelly face dropped.
"Oh. I wasn't expecting him to say that. I thought he'll be interested in helping us find the book" Shelly said
"I think he's trying to protect us" Zo said
"Yes. He said he'll ask Kit if he can help with the diary but I didn't give it to him" Fina said
"OK" Shelly said
"I saw Serene" Fina said
"The ghost? Geez, Talon Smith is really getting to me" Shelly said
"She said not to give up" Fina said
Shelly frowned.
"I- don't you think it's weird? Her birthday date is on the paintings. Why is her birthday date on the paintings? And she said not to give up? Serene Berry needs to be arrested" Shelly said
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe We are mixing everything up" Zo said
"I would have agreed but her golden bracelet" Fina said
"What about it?" Shelly asked
"Dark energy" Fina said and shivered. "I've never experienced one before but it's there. My palms are so sweaty"
"Who are the suspects? You know… The 'They'... We have to know who we are dealing with" Shelly said
"I don't know, Shel. Things are getting more creepy. I think we should stop. Fin?" Zo said
"I don't know. Do you want to stop?"
"No" Zo said after a while.
"Shel. When did everyone sleeps in your territory?" Fina asked
Shelly beamed at her.
"Except for the bookworms, twelve. Midnight." Shelly replied
"We'll meet at the foyer" Fina said
I'm sorry, Tyrell. But I can't stop.
Midnight. 12 A.M
"I got some rings for you." Shelly said "All it took was say Bryce wanted to see their rings. I'm finding Elfina girls stupid. Am I the only one?" Shelly asked
They lifted their rings and the scanning turned green.
"We are really doing this?" Zo asked
"Yes." Fina replied
"What if we get caught?" Zo asked
"Then we get expelled" Shelly said
Zo blanched and Fina glared at Shelly.
"Just kidding" Shelly said and pressed the Aries floor button.
They were out in a few seconds.
The hallway was creepily silent and unlike the Capricorn territory that was bright and peachy, Aries was so much on the dark side.
The whole glass wall was painted in deep purple and dark paintings lined the walls.
Zo shivered.
"Scary" She said
"I call it the House of Winners" Shelly said
"More like house of the dead" Fina whispered.
