Drakengard Anomaly: The Tale of an Angel and an Intoner

Chapter 14 - Six Sisters

"Sister Zero, is this the place?" One asked me as we stopped in front of an old shack.

Dried blood stained the grass in front of it and with several destroyed trees behind us, signs of the fight that happened here in the past.

"Yes." I replied, opening the shack door and accidentally ripping it off the hinges due to my newly gained strength.

"Sister Zero, what have you done? The owners of this shack will be furious!" Four said worriedly, looking at what remained of the door in my hands.

"Don't worry, I know the owners, they won't mind." I replied, throwing the door away and entering the shack with my sisters following me.

"This place needs cleaning." Five said, dragging her finger across a table and frowning at the dirt on her finger.

"It looks haunted." Two spoke, looking around scared.

"I think we shouldn't be here, we broke into someone's house." Four spoke worriedly in the doorway.

I walked towards the bedroom, ignoring the girl's comments, and opened the door, finding a small room with a small bed and a chair beside it.

"Sister Zero, why are we here?" One asked, entering the room and stopping beside me.

"I just wanted to see something." I replied, approaching the bed and seeing the dried vomit stains on the floor and sheets. I frowned at the sight, but quickly shook my head, sending the thoughts away.

"What happened here?" One asked again.

"A sick person lived here a long time ago, she died."

"Who was that person?"

"It doesn't matter, that person died a long time ago. Come, we need to find the treasure."

One looked dissatisfied with my answer but followed me anyway. We found Three staring at us intensely as we walked out of the room

"Two souls bound together by fate, this was their place of death, but it led them to their place of rebirth." Three said emotionlessly.

Okay, I am scared now; I did not know kids could be so creepy.

"Right..." I said hesitantly.

"Three, what do you mean by that?" One asked confused.

Three stopped staring at me, walked towards me, and hugged my leg.

"Carry me, I'm tired." Three said as if nothing happened.

I shrugged, sighed, and sat Three on my left arm while she laid her head on my shoulder, wrapping her arms around my neck right after. I also noticed that One stared at Three angrily.

"What, are you jealous?" I smiled.

"N-no, of course not, I'm too old for that!" One said, looking away in shame.

"HAHA! If you say so, all of you come with me!" I called all the girls.

My sisters and I left the shack and went to its backyard where we saw a big apple tree.

"Listen, this is the spot." I said, pointing to the ground in front of the apple tree. The sisters' eyes widened and they jumped with excitement.

"Now all I need is your help digging..." I did not finish, as Two ran past me and dug with speed and strength a child should not have, throwing chunks of dirt everywhere.

"I found it!" Two screamed walking away covered in dirt while Five and Four ran towards the dug hole, pushing each other along with Two.

"I want to see it!/Where are the coins?/I dug the hole, so I'll see the treasure first!" The three screamed simultaneously.
