The Kirestone Escapade [Discontinued]

Chapter 4: Prove it

"Do you think this is poisoned?" Connor asked, taking his last bite.

"Most likely." She replied licking her fingers clean.

"What do you think they want with us ?" Connor asked staring at a blank wall.

After cleaning out the basket of pleasantries and having a mini feast , they sat on the bed slightly tired from all the food they had recently devoured . Emlyns' headache was still throbbing , but it had slightly calmed down.

Keyword being slightly .

"I don't know , but I do know that Selene knew my mother and I-I need answers ". Emlyn said looking into her best friends dark eyes .

Connor smiled sadly . "And we're gonna get them ."

Somewhere deep down Connor didn't believe his words , but he had to . Because if he believed, then maybe it would happen.

The pair flinched as they heard the scraping of metal against metal , the door to the room opened and Selene , Aeolus and Albert walked through the door .

"Now that you're all fed and full , time for answers," Selene said smiling brightly , she clapped her hands together and Albert shut the door . They watched as the three adults walked over to them in long , graceful strides .

They stopped right by the foot of the bed .

"What do you want with us ?" Emlyn asked confidently , she put on her bravest face and stood up , her eyes aligned just above their stomachs. Connor could see the worry on her face .

'Why are they so tall ?'

"We'll explain it all later , that I can promise you ." Selene answered , her soft voice traveling with ease . Emlyn crossed her arms in front of her chest to hide the slight tremor in her hands . Beside her she could almost see the terror on Connor's face .

"You told us you kidnapped us so I wouldn't say anything about what we saw ... but , what did I see ?" Emlyn asked staring up at their stoic expressions .

"That was an angel ." Aeolus spoke .

Connor and Emlyn's eyes widened , they glanced at one another then back at the adults . The silence stretched on for far too long before Connor broke the silence .

"But a-angles aren't- ... they don't- ... you can't see- " Connor said fumbling over his words . He then stopped abruptly and sniffed the air , Emlyn watched as he wrinkled his nose in disgust .

She brought her face closer to his and whispered . "What's wrong ?"

Connor turned to her and sniffed his shirt . "We smell really bad ." He said .

Emlyn rolled her eyes . "Well then please direct me to the soap ." She said , her tone dripped with sarcasm .

"I'm just saying- "

"And I'm pointing out-"

"Yeah I get that but-"

"What are we supposed-"

"I didn't say-"

Cough

Emlyn and Connor snapped their head to Albert who had just coughed to get their attention .

They both muttered a sorry and turned to face the three . "Right , back to the a-angel ." Connor said .

"How do you know my parents ?" Emlyn asked . She saw Selene's face soften at the question .

"They were very close friends of ours ." Selene answered . Emlyn felt a small lump rise in her throat , she swallowed and nodded .

"I thought angles were just in stories ." Connor spoke up
