Usnavi’s POV:

                 “Woah, who are you?” John Laurens crossed his brows.
                 “Who are you?” Mulligan repeated Laurens’ question.

I first took a deep breath, and cleared my throat.

“My name is Usn-”

“Woah! Hey, John! Look at this kid! He looks exactly like you!” Mulligan shouted in awe, cutting my sentence off.

“Heck yeah! What a carbon copy!” Laurens laughed.

Seriously. I forgot how childish they could be…

“…EHEM! Uhh, hello?” I cleared my throat again, diverting their attention to me.

When they finally shut up, I continued my self-introduction.

“My name’s Usnavi de la Vega. And I’m the one who summoned you two here.”

Both of them stared at me for another five seconds, then burst out laughing.

“What? Summoned? Haha!” Mulligan struggled to speak in between his laughter.

“What are we? Spirits?” Laurens chortled.

I looked at them straight-faced.

“How else would you two suddenly teleport from one place to another in less than a second?” I asked, bluntly.

Both of them stopped laughing and thought of an answer to my query.

“Well, I-” Laurens couldn’t finish his words.

Mulligan suddenly gasped dramatically,
“So we are spirits? Oh my goodness, ARE WE DEAD?”

“What? No!” I exclaimed.

“WE’RE  WE KILLED WITHOUT US NOTICING? ARE WE IN THE AFTER LIFE NOW?!” Mulligan began to panic.

Laurens immediately rubbed his back, comforting him.

I slapped my forehead.

“Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we aren't dead yet. I mean, I'm not seeing any bright light." Laurens tried to reassure him that he is infact not dead

"Wait, what exactly do you mean by summoning us?” Laurens added, turning to me.

“I think you know what exactly I’m talking about, sir.” I grinned.

Laurens’ eyes slowly widened. I assume he figured it out already.

“The books…” He whispered.

Great. Saves me time from explaining.

“I’m so lost right now.” Mulligan interrupted, acting as if he hadn’t had a panic attack just a second ago.

Oh right… I forgot about him.

“Well, I believe you’d have a hard time swallowing this revelation, but you just teleported from the 1700’s to the future.”

He looked at me like I’m a crazy person but doesn’t say anything.

“I think he’s telling the truth, man.” Laurens stated, side-eying  Mulligan.

“Pfft- Yeah, and my name’s King George.” He scoffed sarcastically.

I just sniggered and turned to Laurens.

“I think you should tell him.”

“Why me? You’re the one who brought us here.” He replied.
