"i am the first person you thought to call after finding out something? i suddenly felt attack... why is that?"
-Suzue Reed
Chapter 61: Lucas and Tatum
i stared at the man white blue hair and blue eyes. he as well is staring at me. both of us where the same expression. Cold and emotionless.
we are in the inn's lobby sitting on one of the tables.
i am in a situation that you can cal cliche that always happen in the movies and novels.
long lost brothers reunited because of the heroine. Both of them would catch feelings towards the heroine and would fight for her attention.
but that won't happen, i am already interested at someone. Unfortunately that someone is temporarily gone and was replaced with a person who keep on calling me as tristan.
i don't even know who is it.
"So ahmm. we found out that tatum has a twin brother and he just told it to just three days ago and we want to find his brother. tatum remembered everything because of his ability and knows what you look like.
Blonde hair and Blue eyes. the same blue eyes he has. And we are confident that we would find you and here you are ahmm."
What? did she expect some dramatic reunion or something?
As if.
I really don't care if i have a twin brother or something. i won't die not knowing that.
"So?" I raise an eyebrow
she seem panic and didn't know what to do but decided to narrate our backstory again.
"You both grew up in an orphanage and tatum was adopted by our family causing you two to grew apart from each other. i hope you won't get angry towards my brother ahmm your brother"
i just sigh and didn't reply but then i remembered something.
"You have an ability to remember things ?" i asked and he nod.
what am i asking something obvious, i already know he's a card holder. and his confirmation immediately answered my question
"I am the holder of the Ace" he's a mage.
"Ace... what suit are you?"
"Suit?" don't tell me he doesn't now about the suit?
"suit, what suit is your card?" he looks confused but then i notice the mark on his wrist. with a swift move i grab his hand and stared at the mark on his wrist.
"Ace of heart" i humm and let go of his wrist.
His mark is the same as the jack of spades'. the difference is The mark is a heart and the letter is A with a glass like font.
"They are four suit. The diamond, the spade, the cover or the club, and the heart... each of these suit has 14 cards. you are the Ace of Heart. he's the king of heart. " i pointed at the prince and the pair of them stared at each other and to me.
"We didn't know that they are many of us that has these"
"Only few knows" i went back to my cold demeanor and observes the other two.
"i have one too" hadley showed me her clavicle and i choke on my own saliva.
does this lady doesn't have any decency on her system?!
ajax reacted immediately and raises her collar to hide her clavicle.
The three men seems shocked as well but immediately ignored her.
"Clive here doesn't have a mark but we know he's a jack"
the clover probably hasn't awaken or isn't born yet.
"Ours suddenly opened 3 days ago" The prince explained with a clam expression.
"The heart suit just awakened that day too so it's not that unusual" they all nod.
Tatum was about to ask again when i interrupted.
"you are a mage right? can you do a communication spell?" he nod and i immediately sigh in relief.
"i need to communicate someone. can you help me?"
"sure" he mumbled something and a circular mirror appeared in front of us.
"Think of the person you want to talk to" i nod
Please connect to the woman with white hair that looks like a cloud and i want to rip it off who also has a pair of girly pink eyes.
Suzue Reed.
then an image appeared. The four seems startled when they saw her and ajax calmly hum and i glared.
The woman's eye were wide and is staring at me dumbfounded and surprise.
"What the hell" i heard her whispered and walk away from the camera and then a boy with a pair of red eyes and red hair appeared. he stared blankly at us and hum before walking away.
then the next one is Lilith who look curious then was surprise.
"Ah tri-lucas, ajax and... others" she looks lost which is cute...
....i said nothing.
"jasmine can you call your sister" i ask calmly. and she smiled and immediately complied.
"Ezu,lucas is calling for you"
"Damn, so it wasn't a hallucination. i wish it was."
and once again i felt annoyed.
"What is it?" she lazily appeared in front of the mirror again while yawning.
"Do you know about this?"
"The what?" she ask amused.
"The brother cliche thing!"
"i am the first person you thought to call after finding out something? i suddenly felt attack... why is that?"
i click my tongue and observe her surroundings. they are inside an room. and she seems exhausted.
"What the hell are you three up to again?" her eye twitch and she calmly stared at me and turn her head away.
"Ajax, i see you ... haven't change you still look like a bear"
"Don't ignore me"
"Fufu does little one wants my attention that much?"
"Fuck off" her eyebrow raise and i heard a snicker beside her
"He said fuck off"
"he said buzz off"
"no he did not"
"Yes he did" and the pair bickers again. i sigh and stared at Jasmine who's folding clothes in the background
"Anyway the Jack of spades do you still have it?" both of them halted.
with Ezu's hand on the boy and ethan trying to punch her.
"Yes..." i sigh once again.
"You three are still in the nero right?"
"Yeah" she lazily said while squeezing the cheeks of a whining ethan.
"i am going there, i need to get the card before going to the dasos"
"Wait.." the three of them stared at me and jasmine seems nervous and panic.
"Don't"
"why?" Ethan looks like he wants to kill someone and Suzue seems bored.
"The time of this town is a mess. we keep repeating the same day, we look like a broken Cock-a-doodle-doo. "
then we suddenly heard a loud explosion.
"That's the 100th time i am fucking hearing that i am sick of it!."
another explosion and a deep scowl appeared on her face
"That's it you damn shitheads!"
she rushes outside and jasmine and ethan sigh
"don't worry those explosions are just some chemical experiments in the opposite building. and because of the time loop suzue keep hearing it and we couldn't sleep because of the noise"
jasmine apologetically explained and screams and shouts could be heard from the next room.
the noises stops and the shouting begins again.
ethan walks out on the room and we heard him scream.
"Oi woman you are so damn noisy!"
"ahmm i am really sorry. don't worry lucas, ajax... we could meet you both on the Dasos. We are leaving here after ezu deals with the time loop."
she nervously said and i agreed defeated.
we watch her followed the duo outside the room and then the bulge on the bed on the background move and a man sat up from it and stared at us dazedly
"Ezu" he said and stood up and went outside while rubbing his eyes.
Who the hell was that?
