I'm not scared anymore

Chapter twenty eight: We have a problem

Aether's pov:

We headed to the door of the cottage. This place looks actually really nice, how was Amelia and Rain able to find this place? "Do you think the door is locked? How do we get in?" Ifrit asked. "If i know these people even the slightest, they haven't even realized that they could lock the door." I answered.

           Ifrit reached for the doorknob and tried to pull the door open. "It's open." Ifrit said. "What did i tell you?" I said. Ifrit pulled the door open quietly and we stepped in. All the lights inside were out, only the rising sun from the window lighting the room. We looked around us, trying to look for the others. There they were, all of them sleeping on the sofa, almost like in a small pile. I smiled at the view, there were multiple bedrooms here and still they all fell asleep on the couch.

         "You should lock the door, you never know what kind of weirdos try to get in" I said loudly enough to wake them up. "Aether?" Amelia asks, rubbing her eyes. "Aether, you're here" Amelia says, jumping up from the couch, also waking up Rain who was sleeping next to her. "How are you doing?" She asked, looking at me and Sunshine. "Well, she's going to be okay, i hope so." I answered. "How about you?" She asked. "I'm fine" I answered.

        Everyone were now awake and sitting on the couch. "Is there a bed where she could rest?" I asked. "Yeah, i can take her." Cirrus said standing up. "No, i can take her just show me the way." I said. "Aether, you need a break too." Cirrus said. "No, i don-" I started. "Aether, both of you are now here and we can help you. Just let us help" Cirrus said. I let out a deep breath and lowered Sunshine to Cirrus's arms.

        "But i can come with you, someone has to monitor her" I said. "Aether i'll stay with her.  Just sit down." Cirrus answers heading to one of the bedrooms with Sunshine. "Ughh." I sighed and sat down on the sofa. "Who are you?" Amelia asked, looking at Ifrit. "Oh, i'm sorry. I'm Ifrit." Ifrit answers. "The one who was sent to catch us?" She asked. "Well-" Ifrit started. "He is here to help us, without him Sunshine would probably be dead." I said. "Nice to meet you. I'm Amelia" Amelia said. "Nice to meet you too" Ifrit smiled.

       All of us sat on the sofa, talking about all the stuff that had happened. I'm so glad that all of us are now together in one place.

        The next few hours we mostly just rested, chatted and watched tv. We also took turns monitoring Sunshine, so she wouldn't be alone. Ifrit was with her at the moment.

Ifrit's pov:

I sat in the little arm chair in the corner of the room. I was watching over Sunshine in case she would wake up. She was laying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

       I was kind of lost in my thoughts. I'm worried about Alpha, Omega and Zephyr. I hope Susan doesn't hurt them because i left. I probably get sent back because of what i have done, but i don't regret it.

       Suddenly i hear a little shuffling from the bed. "Sunshine?" I asked. I stood up from my chair and walked next to her, crouching down to her level. "Sunshine, are you awake?" I asked. "Mhm." She hummed. "how are you feeling?" I whispered. "Bad." She answered.

        Luckily she was now a lot calmer than the first time she woke up. "Where am i?" She asked. "We are at the cottage that Rain and Amelia found. The whole band is here now." I answered. "Okay." She whispered. "I can go get Aether. I'm sure he wants to talk to you" I said, starting to stand up. "No, don't," She whispered. "What? Why?" I asked, crouching back down.

        "I have to tell you something and you have to tell others." She said. "What?" I asked, now interested. "Sister Susan. She is an impostor." She said."What so you mean?" I asked. "She is not from our church. She is Christian." She said quietly. "How do you know?" I asked. "She talked about us doing sin and she whispered to me texts from the bible before she... You know" She said. "That bitch" I said.
