Because I Love You

Chapter 20

Crystalhilla was a huge building, made completely of shimmering crystals, like his name. It was situated on a hill, also like it's name. 

It was beautiful, and it looked like it belonged in Eternalia.

'Valin, greasy ponytail VALIN, lives here?!' Sophie was honestly surprised. Valin was a weird person, at least at Foxfire. His house looked bigger than Everglen! And Everglen was huge.

'Looks like it. Now KNOCK!' Wylie was getting impatient. He was much older than the others, already an Elite student. He had no patience.

Sophie lifted the knocker. A girl answered the door. She had a shock of red hair, which was curly, and her eyes were dark blue. 

'Hi! I'm Callia. Looking for Valin? Or Glimmer?'

'Don't you know your cousin's name?' Keefe asked.

'She told me not to say.'

While Callia was talking, Sophie noticed a necklace on her neck. A cat necklace. With a face that resembled the one on Glimmer's cat statue. 

Sophie mentalised an image in her head of the statue, and now she was sure.

'You're Glimmer, aren't you?' She asked.

'You found me.' Callia - or Glimmer - sighed.

'I was hoping that Tiergan would have been civilised and NOT tracked me.' She said. 'But I was wrong! You lot are as paranoid as ever.'

'Well, we need help.' Tam said.

'I'm sorry about Tiergan.' Wylie spoke up. 'He's been overprotective since my dad woke up.'

'It's okay.' 

'So, is Callia your real name? What should we call you?' Keefe asked.

'My actual name is Callista. Callia and Callie are okay.' Callista said.

'Sure!' Sophie said, eager to continue. 'So, Lady Gisela kidnapped Biana, and turns out, she's a Mesmer.'

'She kidnapped Biana?!' Callista jumped.

'Yeah. She threatened to hold her hostage and make her do her dirty work. Basically Neverseen chores.' Keefe explained.

'I overheard Gisela telling you about a new hideout that you had to cover with illusions.' Tam said, nervously

'You SPIED on me?!' Callista was getting angry.

'I happened to be walking by.' He said. 'And, isn't that what you did? Accidentally 'overhear' details?! To be prepared?'

Callista sighed in exasperation. 'Ugh. Fine. The hideout is pretty close by. The caretaker is some member called Fronisa. Weird name. He's a Froster.'

'Where is the hideout?!' The whole group asked.

Callista smirked.

'A place where you often go. Under Foxfire.'
