" what's happening Zillah?" She asked when they got to Zillah's room.
" Alvah found out that they are shape shifters in Elysian".
" Shape shifters?" Utterly dumb and confused. Shape shifters, she had not heard about that here before.
Zillah nodded. " Omna isn't dead we just have to find him. With all this going on Alvah is occupied. Would you help?".
" Sure let's look for him". They had never expected the look to be Soo short because they found him in the library behind the highest shelf. Very dusty, no one goes that deep into the library so it was the perfect space to hide him.
They both held him and teleported to the living room when they found more guards there. " We found Omna" Zillah announced. There was a lot of doubt at first till they got closer and saw his face.
" It's really Omna" one of them repeated. Alvah briefly explained to Aeron everything he needed to know about the shape shifters.
By the time they came out. Aeron needed to cancel out Alvah's name from whatever list the Elysian guards created because they saw Omna seated on the couch Soo weak, pale and sick.
" Omna" Aeron ran to him. Cristal and Zillah moved away. He held his arm. " He is in a state of rem. He'll be alright in a few hours".
Alvah spoke walking to Cristal and he ruffled her hair and she chuckled. Aeron heard her voice and turned to look at her.
She saw this and her smile quickly faded. Alvah walked to Zillah and held her from behind. She turned away from Aeron's stare at her and caught keva giving her the stink eye.
She sighed deeply and walked out of the entire scenario. She didn't really have where to go but to stay with keva was a no go.
She stayed in the uppermost floor at the balcony sucking in the air. It carried her hair and she kept trying to push it away from her face but it wasn't helping.
So she turned around to back the wind direction when she saw keva staring at her.
" You were right weren't you?". She was being rhetoric and Cristal was not going to answer either way. " Keva is something wrong between the both of us?".
Aeron's question at her hinted her to ask keva what exactly went wrong between the both of them.
" Cristal. What exactly is your role in Elysian?" She asked Cristal curiously. " And why on earth do you want to know about that?". Cristal adjusted her position both keeping the intense eye contact.
" I don't know. Since we are friends basically roommates. Known each other for over decades now. You don't spill about yourself and I find it weird?" She walked closer to her and sat beside her.
" Cristal, you talk about almost everything except, actual facts. What are you hiding?".
Cristal was known to be a blabbermouth and commented on almost everything that she was aware of but never about herself. I mean Zillah just found out she was from earth, no one knows this sort of detail about her.
Cristal on the other hand definitely concluded that something was wrong with keva. They were better ways and a more convenient approach to discuss about this but keva, did not seem like the one she used to adore.
" You already know too much keva don't you?" Cristal smirked at her and keva instantly knew that she was mocking her for her obsession with books.
Cristal got up and left. She knew she was uncomfortable but she has no where else to go. She opened the door to their room and she saw Daivik and Aeron seated.
She was Soo pissed at the both of them. She had no one to be with because they were her only friends and just hours ago they all treated her shitty and belittled her.
" Cristal". Aeron spoke first. " Daivik made a suggestion". " What's that Daivik?" She asked him
" He wants to move in with keva". Aeron replied on his stead. Her gaze still rooted on Daivik " why do you want to move in?".
Aeron noticed this and appeared in her front and they both made eye contact. " Because he needs sometime alone with keva to rekindle their fire which he believes has gone off". Aeron looked at Daivik and looked back down at Cristal.
Cristal didn't mind the idea, she was rather excited that she was leaving creepy keva to him. But she wondered why Daivik looked Soo desperate for keva when they are mates and are meant to love each other equally. ' is this how I look chasing after Aeron'. She looked at Aeron who was already looking at her. Her knot tied and she felt scared for a moment.
' Am I really not ready for all this responsibility?' " where would I stay?" She asked Daivik looking at him. Aeron lifted her chin and answered with a grin " with me".
Cristal walked away almost immediately indicating she was not agreeing to any of this. Aeron quickly grabbed her from behind and apologized in a heartbeat. " Cristal I am Soo sorry, I don't like seeing you like this".
" I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I just said whatever came out from my mind and I regret it. Look at you all the while trying to tell us Alvah was right and that something was wrong with Omna but we didn't listen to you".
" We are in the wrong and you can get mad at us but don't stay mad please Cristal". His words pierced through her angered soul letting his apology sink in and she almost teared up when they grouped her for a hug.
" I'm sorry as well Cristal, we should've believed you from the start. We are sorry" Daivik apologized to her. " On behalf of keva I apologize as well". Before he could finish his sentence they all heard a voice from the door.
" I didn't ask you for an apology on my behalf. No thank you". Keva spoke walking in.
Aeron was begining to see why Cristal has been pissed off about keva lately she was really acting strange. But their last hope was to get Daivik to soften her which is why they are switching rooms.
" Cristal will be moving in with me" Aeron said to keva walking closer. " And why is that?" She asked him tilting her head to look at Cristal like she told on her or something.
" Because you and your partner. He held Daivik and pushed him closer to keva. Have some making up to do". " I don't know what issues you both are having but end it within this period, thank you".
He held Cristal's hands and left the room. Along the way he spoke to Cristal, " I'll send your things packing today okay" he looked at her and she nodded. " You act like a little kid Cristal". He smiled saying that. " Seeing you resent me today really makes me think you are more to what I know".
She looked at him. ' why is everyone suddenly interested in who I am?' she asked herself thoughtfully. First keva now Aeron, Alvah too was curious about her. Besides being fun and childish who was Cristal.
" You guys room have always been a lot bigger than ours " she smiled at him walking inside. " Your smile just lit up the room". He said walking closer to her. His words didn't escape her. Why when she's trying to end this crush he was getting closer to her by the minute. Were we really meant for each other.
Absolutely not. She snapped her delusions away.
" It's gonna be weird you know. I'm going to have to change my designs and the room would look splitted". She needed her girly stuffs in the room and that would affect the balance of the room.
" I don't mind". Aeron shrugged.
