The TOWER!

We were tip-toeing towards the tower,making way through dark and long trees, which were splitting the moonlight into million different pieces.

The view was gorgeous,indeed. But, in this 'gorgeous' only we could see the horror!!
It was the first time, we could say that the silence was speaking. Three of us were walking so close to each other, expecting something abnormal on every step.
We had our guns out, the only problem was, that we didn't know how exactly to shoot, in case we encountered something.

Soon, we were facing the tower gate,It was rusted, old and had a huge gate, which honestly gave nothing, but creepy vibes of some possessions! I could feel some forces attracting me there,the only thing was that I was too afraid to mention, when Ed moved forwards and said taking his gun out, - "I'll probably figure out how to open it.......are you ready??"
Ed was now constantly gazing at us,standing just an inch away from the door!
I looked at Elena, as she quickly tied her beautiful blonde hair up and passionately positioned her gun, focusing on the door.
I too bounced my red hair back, as Elena whispered under her breath-"always ready!!"

"Ed, be careful!!!" - I added, positioning my gun.
Ed slowly pulled the lever near it, down, causing a loud "CLINKK!," , as he jumped back and the huge door started to open. We all made even more firm grip on our guns, as the door was opening.
But there goes nothing!!
The door was wide open, but we faced nothing. We shared cheerful looks first, but then they faded to the tensed ones as we thought:-('what could be inside it!!!)
"Hoping for not a very pleasant surprise, let's go in!!,"- Elena breathed, as we stepped in.
"I can't see anything!!!,"-Ed exclaimed.

We were processing through the darkness, as the blue mark on my gun started glowing, really bright!!!
I pointed my gun at right, when I saw Ed's surprised face, and at my left, Elena stood with her eyes widened, accompanied with a smiling face.

"How'd you do this?"- Elena asked moving forwards.
Me, who was horrorstruck, replied :- " I.....I, didn't do this!!!"- still gazing at the blueish sign,which portrayed nothing, but seemed like a circular blue mark.

"wooooahhh!! That's so Orphic!!"-Ed replied with an impressed expression.

For a moment, my mind had stopped working, but when it did, a thought striked in my mind, as I asked them -" Hey!! Do your guns have this mark as well???", cuz none of their guns shined!
Elena and Ed, staying in the light of the blue mark,examined their guns, when I noticed that none of their guns was golden, like mine, and neither they had a similar blue mark!
They both shook their heads when I was gazing at my gun!
"I really feel that this mark has something to do with all this!....we need to search the tower!!"- I sighed, as the blue light lightened up the whole tower!
As we had the glare of it, the tower was so long!...we could see it up till the roof, but it had no floors, just the one, we were standing upon. It had 3 different rooms, scattered around!!

Me, Elena and Ed decided to go in different directions and search! In case, any of us finds anything, we'll inform each other at the spot. They both went in two different rooms!!

I still couldn't get over the fact, about how my gun had shined...so, absentmindedly, I stepped into another room, which looked like nothing, but an empty storeroom.
It had many shelves, but all of them , as expected, Empty!
So I quickly checked them all, when in one of those, I found an old, crinkly, yellowish and a bit antique piece of paper, with something written in bold capital letters!:

"HERE LIES,
THE HOLY BODY OF
SIR ALFORD J.S. KENNEDY."

"What the hell do they mean by it??.... 'THE HOLY BODY'!!!..it's weird!!!" I whispered to myself.when, something happened!!!!!
I started sweating, that was when I could feel someone's bony hands on my shoulders, with a firm grip....
I GASPED!!!
breathing heavily, I silently touched my shoulders and felt nothing this time.,
I pocketed the note swiftly,and ran out of the room. This was too much for me. I decided not to inform Elena and Edward, about the incident.

I thought that it was just a delusion..
(It was not!)

Soon Elena and Ed came out of the rooms, "got something??"-I asked,trying to be hella chill!!
"Nothing!!"- Ed replied.
I looked towards Elena, when she disappointedly shook her head.., I breathed deeply.
"But I found something!!" - I began, when Elena and Ed threw their glares upon me.
"WHAT??"- they gasped together.
I took the note from my pocket,unfolded it gently and handed it over to Elena,as Ed too leaned to read it.

I stood there, my hands folded against my chest, waiting for their reactions, although I knew that it had nothing much, but that name "ALFORD J.S. KENNEDY".
When Elena suddenly threw a proud smile on me.-" YOU FOUND IT, GIRRLLL!!", she almost screamed.
"That's so clever , Gracie!!"- Ed smiled.

I was astonished!!
Like WHATTT??

I silently took the note from Elena, as they were busy in a little celebration of whatever achievement by me...
As I proceed to read the note, I was now looking at something, that made my heat slip away.....
