The Forgotton Stars

Chapter 13

Cloey followed Nicole the rest of the way after the woods. She said goodbye to scar but not for long because of Nicole's bitterness. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Cloey thought.
"so," Nicole began. "what have you got to say?"
"what do you mean?" Cloey asked. Nicole has been in a bad mood all day.
Nicole didn't reply. She just spat then started walking faster. What has gotten into her?
They were finally out of the woods. They were back in the neighborhood. "where now?" Cloey asked.
Nicole just shrugged and started walking on the road that led up the other way that led to the lake.
Cloey jumped as Nicole yelled, "Mercury! Saturn!"
There were two ghostly figures in front of them. Saturn looked clam and mercury looked more intense.
"time is running out quick," mercury told them "please help the stars"
Cloey felt a pang of sympathy for them.  Her and Nicole needed to save them, quickly.  "we will." Cloey promised.
The ghostly warriors started fading into mist and cloey met Saturn's worried gaze as she faded. Cloey looked over at Nicole who nodded at her.
Time is passing... a voice whispered in cloeys head. "I'm coming" she mumbled.
Nicole and her continued to walk along the path to the lake. Oh Saturn please tell us were to go. Cloey begged.
I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air. The words scar told her echoed in cloeys head. "Nicole?" cloey asked
"what?" Nicole asked. She still sounded pissed off.
"I think...I think I know what one of the riddles are" she admitted.
"what?" Nicole asked.
"m-maybe smoke...think about it.. I am the black child of a white father, a wingless bird, flying even to the clouds of heaven. I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me, even though there is no cause for grief, and at once on my birth I am dissolved into air." She repeated the words. "its like smoke"
"that makes sense..." Nicole said.
"come on!!" cloey said. "we need too find smoke!"
