Solisel - Book 1: Kitsuneyō's Prince and the Eternal King

Chapter 6

The two siblings walked over to Aura's room.
As they opened the door, Aura was on her bed, dancing with some music on.

-AURA! Yelled Cecilia.

She didn't hear her.

-AUUUUUURA! Yelled Cecilia again.

The small kitsune turned her head and turned down the music.

-Ooooh! My dead brother's ghost! Heyyyyyyyy!

Pyrex sighed.

-I'm not a ghost!

Aura nodded slowly with her eyes closed.

-Yeah right. The old bag down stairs said she's praying for your soul. She said you'd come back as a ghost.

-Ghosts? We've never seen ghosts come here. That's impossible. Replied Cecilia.

Aura looked at her.

-Uuuuuh? Ghosts don't exist?

Cecilia sighed.

-Anyways, are you good? Asked Pyrex.

-Yes, Ai is done un... undiseasing me!

"Undiseasing..." though Pyrex. He knew Aura wasn't the smartest, but that seemed fake.

Aura put the music back and yawned, turning back away from them.

Pyrex sighed and left.

In the hall, Aeryx was standing in front of the door.

-Pst, Pyrex.

Pyrex turned his head.

-Come, Aoi isn't moving... and Akai is worried and she wants to see you.

-Ok...

Aeryx ran back inside, followed by Pyrex and Cecilia.
Akai was shaking Aoi's hand.

-Aoi, Are you okay? Asked Pyrex.

He didn't reply, as expected.
The kitsune sighed.

-Guys, Ai said he was drugged, he'll be better in a few hours...

He didn't believe his own words of course, however, he didn't want to look negative again, Xerenade would laugh at him for worrying about his friend after all.

Ai walked around the corner of the room.

-Is he getting better?

Akai shook her head.

-Not at all.

The nurse sighed.

-I... I can try to take care of him. She said in her soft tone.

Cecilia nodded.

-Oh yeah, I want to go see dad right now. I have some things to... clear out with him.

-I wouldn't want to have some beef with Cecilia, she's genuinely scary... whispered Xerenade as Akai agreed.

Cecilia gave them a proud stare as she invited Pyrex to come over.

-Can we come too, miss Cecilia? Asked Aeryx.

-Oh yeah sure, why not?

They got up as Ai bowed down before sitting next to Aoi. Cecilia and Pyrex exited the room towards the halls followed by the rest of the group, admiring the decorations that Cecilia and Pyrex were tired of seeing.

The walls were beige, dark brown and olive green with Golden borders and statues all around. A lot of them were foxes, but there was also a huge eyeball and a half sheathed sword.
