how does he know everything

We all ate our breakfast in silence and we packed some of it for the way. We all took our bags and the Cabin just vanished into tiny little pieces.

Just like the last time we started walking, and eventually I got bored, so I decided to start a game.

"Hey guys, I'm bored so do you wanna play who knows me better?" I asked them, while we continued to walk wherever the map told us to go.

"Ya sure, why not?" replied Carl in his usual cheery tone.

"I'm down. Walking around silently is boring as hell." Said Eros.

"Alright, first question, what's my favourite colour?"

"Easy, purple." Said Eros, I was surprised he knew that, considering the fact we aren't really friends.

"I'm gonna go with mint green, half the girls I've dated liked that colour; so mint green." Answered Carl, sounding confident.

"Surprisingly, Eros was correct. Next question, what is my eye colour?" I asked and closed my eyes, before I closed my eyes I saw Eros was still smiling about his victory.

"Shoot, I never pay attention to people's eye colour. But it's either hazel or green, I think." Said Carl, it was the second round and he was already losing.

"Rue has grey eyes." Said Eros plainly as if I was a book and he had memorised everything written in it.

I opened my eyes surprised and asked, "How do you know that?" Suddenly, last night's memory slipped into my head, he stared right into my soul so maybe that could answer it.

"Anyway, Eros is correct. Next question, what is my favourite season?"

"Autumn." Said Eros.

HOW DOES THIS GUY KNOW EVERYTHING?!

"Summer, I think?" Said Carl.

"Eros, a genuine question. How in the world do you know that? Like are you stalking me or something?" I genuinely asked him.

"Hah, you wish.But no I'm not stalking you, I'm just really attentive, and you on the other hand keep telling everyone in the class how much you love autumn."

It was true I did tell everyone about how much I loved autumn, but I never thought Eros would actually pay any attention towards it.

"Ok maybe you don't stalk me, whatever. Next question; who do I like more between Eros and Carl?"

Ok I know this is a little evil but, it's fun.

"Rue obviously likes me more, duh." said Eros arrogantly.

"What makes you think that? Rue has never been good to you, you piss her off half the time you talk to her. I'm pretty sure she likes me more." Said Carl.

Honestly I don't like any of you right now, so shut up. That was what I would have said, but I didn't. Instead I said, "Look, y'all need to stop arguing over a game, you both are acting like 5 year olds."

They completely ignored me and continued arguing over who I liked more.

"I don't piss her off, plus I was the one who saved her when she was stuck on the stupid dragon. What were you doing, huh?" Eros argued, making the atmosphere tense.

Why are they over a small game? I asked myself.

"In case you forgot, Eros, I was the holding the sword so there was no way I could catch her with the sword in my hand, and I was about to keep it on the ground but by then you already started walkin-" Carl said and I interrupted him before the argument got more heated.

"Can you both just keep quiet! I don't either of you right now, ok. So quit it." I yelled at both of them.

And they did keep quiet which I was very thankful for.

After the tiny and useless argument we walked for a while in silence until we found another portal.

We went inside it even though we didn't have the slightest clue about what was inside it.

As soon as I walked in, I felt a tingling sensation down my whole body. I looked down and I wasn't in my 'weather protection suit' instead I was in a gorgeous black gown which had a leg slit on its right.

I looked at Eros and Carl and realised I wasn't the only one whose outfit had changed.

Eros's outfit changed into a black suit and inside he had a black turtleneck on. He wore a few silver chains on and had a few accessories.

Carl also had a black suit on but instead of a turtleneck he had a black shirt on with one silver chain and a silver decorated belt.

I looked behind my shoulder and the portal had vanished. There was now a maroon post-it note next to it. Where are they getting these post it notes?

The post-it note said, "This is a royal ball and you three need to blend in and find the intruder and kill her. You may use the tools given to you. And to open the portal again use the sword you won in your last portal."

We looked at Carl and asked him if he still had the sword, and thankfully he did. We were standing high on one of the balconies so that we could look at the whole crowd. I immediately spotted a girl who was just sitting alone and drinking some juice, which I believe was champagne. She looked suspicious so I told Eros and Carl about her and they thought the same thing.

"Eros you should go and distract her and Carl, you should keep a close eye on them and help Eros if he needs some help. I will stay here with the gun Eros got in his bag and be prepared to shoot." I explained.

"Fine as long as we are done with this." Eros muttered given me his gun.

"Alright." Carl responded.

It was clear they didn't want to be together but it wasn't like they could fight against me.

While they were going down the stairs, I looked around for the first time. There were so many European treats and many drinks, I almost wanted to ditch my side of the job and go down there and eat all of those treats. But I didn't.

I watched both of them go down, Eros went towards the girl sitting alone and Carl went towards one of the tables which had some snacks kept on them and stayed there. Eventually Carl picked up one of the cupcakes kept on the stand and started eating it, still looking at Eros and the girl. Lucky bastard.

I looked towards Eros and the girl with the gun ready in my hands. The girl who I thought was the intruder suddenly got up and towards the table where Carl was standing and got a tissue, while she was doing that I looked back at Eros and he was already looking in my direction.

As soon as our eyes met he smirked and my heart skipped a beat. Just before the girl came back I pointed his gun at him and he just winked and turned back to the girl.
