Chapter 24 - CHAPTER 25

Lillith looked at Mira with a worried look in her eyes . Mira could tell she wanted to ask something but couldn't bring himself to say so .

"Don't worry am sure it's going to be okay", Mira said.

"I want to believe it ,but that was the first thing I saw him like that", Lillith responded.

"Trust me there are lots of things that even I don't know about him ", she said .

"But your twins ", Lillith said .

"Fake twins ", Mira spoke .

"What do you mean ?", Lillith asked.

"Nicolas and I weren't born at the same time or in the same hospital ", Mira said with pride in her eyes.

"So ,your not twins "Lillith asked.

"No, we are ", Mira protested.

"Don't make me laugh,even an idiot can protest on that statement ", she said while laughing.

"Now that's the Lillith I know , so how about we go and talk to him ", Mira said .

"Thanks for that Mira ", she said .

"No worries, sister in law ", she said as she grabbed Lillith's hand.

"Wait what did you just call me ?", Lillith asked.

"Nothing ", she responded.

"But where are they? ", Lillith asked.

"Ohh there probably in the arsenal ", Mira answered.

"The what ?", Lillith asked with shock on her face .

"The arsenal ", Mira answered.

"What kind of student housing has an arsenal!", Lillith said.

"Trust me, you just got your self tangled up in some weird shit ", Mira said.

Mira took Lillith outside the house and to the back yard. She lifted a patch of grass to reveal a door under it .

"This feels like am I some sort of action novel ", Lillith said .

Mira opened door and went down the steps , Lillith followed behind her until they found a door in front of it where to heavy wool jackets . Lillith picked up one .

"What are these for", she asked .

"The arsenal doesn't just work as a weapon storage room it also works as Nic's training grounds ", Mira responded.

"He trains in jackets?",she asked.

"No those are for us , am sure you felt it when he hugged you ", Mira asked with a questioning look .

"Felt what ?", Lillith asked .

"Nicolas's body temperature drops to around five and eight degrees when his using his Arkive , it's a surprise you couldn't feel it after he was so close to you", Mira responded.

"Huh okay but what are we still doing outside? ", Lillith asked.

"You never enter a pool before testing the water and it's super quiet so I think we are good ", Mira answered.

She opened the door and they found themselves in a room with white walls and blue furniture. Weapons where hang in the glowing blue display cases. Directly in front of them was a desktop computer with a large monitor , Nicolas and Prometheus both had their faces near the computer with their backs towards Mira and Lillith.

"I can see everything settled well ", spoke Mira.

The boys jumped from their seats and turned around.

"Hey ", said Lillith.

"Hey ", answered Nicolas.

"What was that about ?", asked Mira going straight to business.

"The news about the robbery, do you know what they stole ?", Nicolas asked Mira.

"No " ,she answered.

"It's part of the map that leads to the temple of seasons ", Prometheus said.

"The temple of what ?", asked Lillith.

"You know all Arkives have some sort of origin or a house let's call it ", Nicolas said.

"Yes , we know that much ", Mira and Lillith responded.

"The temple of seasons is where the origins of all four seasons are housed", Prometheus said.

"That means , if someone where to get his hands on them ", Mira said .

"They could have the power to end the world", Lillith followed.

"Why did you have to place it there !", Mira shouted .

"I thought no one would supect it in such an open place ", Nicolas said .

"That's true but..", Mira said.

"It's been there since I was three , something's off and I know it , some one knew about it but why now ", Nicolas said .

"So what where you doing with the computer?", Lillith asked .

"We were running a image check through all the cameras in the city to see if we have a movement match ", responded Nicolas .

"Why not face check ", asked Mira .

"Because it's not human ", Nicolas responded.

"Ownie", Mira said with a disgusted face .

"Good thing we have those babies right there ", Prometheus said pointing to the weapons that were hanged.

Lillith walked up to them andpicke done up.

"What are these made off ", she asked .

Prometheus, Nicolas and Mira face were flushed with fear .

"Drop it !", screamed Nicolas .

Lillith quickly threw it to the ground , Nicolas rushed to Lillith and grabbed her hands to inspect them .

"Are you okay ?", Nicolas asked.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be ", Lillith said with a smile .

"That weapon you just touched is a greed stone weapon, only people with a lot of Arkive energy can touch them. If a normal person were to touch them their life force could get sucked in and they would either faint or die ", said Prometheus .

"And your fine , Lillith is their something you aren't telling us ", Nicolas asked.

"Actually I have a...", Lillith tried to speak before being cut of by a loud beeping sound .

"We have a match , in the outskirts of the city ", spoke Prometheus.

"You will have to tell us later ", said Nicolas with a smile .

Rapture appeared in an old storage building, in front him was the female Ownie to that was in a pink dress .

"Parrall , are you sure that this will work it's just a piece of paper", said Rapture.

"I asked our human friend and he said if we wanted to draw our prey's attention this is all we need ", said Parrall.

"You trust him too much ", said Rapture.

"He betrayed his fellow seasons , you just have to give that man praise ", she said .

"Let's hope your right ", said Rapture.
