"NO WAY!!!"- I whispered to myself,as my eyes met a similar blue mark on the paper, like that on my gun. I would have screamed, but the consciousness of presence of Ed and Elena stopped me. At the corner of the paper, there was little text, in very thin handwriting that made it all so clear!! :-
"The tomb"
But my mind was equipped by one single question- "WHERE THE HELL WAS ALFORD J.S. KENNEDY!!!"

My confused and may be, the horrific face, made Elena question- "what is it, Gracie???"
"Oh! Never mind!"- I said, smiling feebly,,, (Damn! I couldn't hide anything from them!!)
"You finally found it!!!"- Ed said, taking a deep breath of relaxation, as if he had conquered the moon!!!
" 'think so!"- I said awkwardly,,, my eyes still busy with the note.
That particular moment, my heart was beating faster than ever. I knew what had just happened, but had no guts to express into words.
So I swallowed it in, knowing, that informing them will just steam up the environment.

I finally, threw a feeble and promising smile(the one literal thing I was good at) and said- "well!! This can't stop here, there has to be something else related to this TOMB thing!!" I said pointing at the little writing on the note.
Ed simply nodded his head, as we heard Elena gasp -" what the—"
I turned towards her, she was facing at the very end of the floor.
I leaned forwards to have a look at something, that indeed blew my mind!
"THAT SHIT WASN'T THERE BEFORE!!" -Ed exclaimed, his jaw on the floor!
We were facing a lit, stone-carved tomb, which, I swore, wasn't there before!!!
We walked slowly towards it and stopped a foot away.
"This isn't normal"- Elena said , although our eyes were constantly on tomb!
"Hey! What's that???"- Ed was pointing towards a piece of paper which was hung on the wall in front of the tomb!
"Seems like, there's something drawn on it!"- Elena said, as she looked at the paper with a magnified glance.
We all looked up at each other, as I nodded in positive, gathering my spirits, I started stepping towards the tomb.

I was about to take the paper off the wall, when a voice interrupted in between.:-
"YOU DARE!!!"
Followed by Elena and Ed's shrieks.
It took me no time to turn back and see a familiar face,,-"HANA??"- I gasped!
She stood in front of me, a girl with blunt black hair, deep black eyes, followed by an evil smile with her red lips.She was pointing a gun towards me, as I had glare of another familiar face, who waved at me "Everin??" I whispered to myself.
The boy had a mature look in his eyes with black hair, intelligent brows and lightly tanned skin.
"Looks like we were destined to meet again, miss Gracie Lynn!!"- Hana let out, in a bit wicked tone!
"What're you doing here?"- I asked her as she kept her gun back, and passed me a passionate smile.
She walked towards me, (her walk was "lean"!!)
"That's what I should ask you!"- she whispered in a soft voice, " 'the hell are you doin' here, Lynn?"- this time, she almost shouting!

Before I could reply, Elena interrupted "WHO IS SHE, GRACIE??" , clear she didn't liked her.( she was furious)
"Oohhh! Looks like miss Lynn has got her university friends with her, this time!!"- Hana continued in a bossy manner.
"THIS TIME??....WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY "this time"??."- Elena moved forwards, her brows frowning, it was getting worse, damnit!
"Ohh chill, young lady!!"- Hana whispered.
Smiling, she turned towards Ed, "should I introduce ourselves??"-she passed a feeble smile to Everin, as he returned one!
"Alright, I m Hana Huang, 21 yrs old, and he's my boyfriend, Everin Abraham, 22 yrs old!"- spending her,eventually, proud smile and asked Elena- "...and you are??" (She was testing her patience, I swear!)
"I'm Elena Rhodes , 20 and he's my friend, Edward Rutherford, he's 21!"- she answered, I could feel the clench of anger in her voice.
"Oh!"- Hana smirked, as she exclaimed in her usual mean voice! - she turned towards me, "these pigs seem to have got something in their asses, after all, they got the freaking opportunity to be in ur company...am I right Lyn—"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!....they're my friends—"- I couldn't resist, this time.
"—YOU SHOULD'VE SAID THE SAME FOR US, YEARS AGO, LYNN!!"- she said increaseing her tone, she moved closer to me, "..OR! Should I say agent red!!!"-her smirk widened!
"HANA!!"- I shouted, trying to suppress her voice.
"Agent!,...what???"- Elena asked with her confused face!
"Nothing, Elena! She's a psychopath!!"- I whispered gazing into Hana's evil eyes.
"Well!! Maybe I'm a psychopath!!"- she said, turning towards, Ed and Elena, and whispered in a shrill voice,-"but she didn't tell ya', yet??,,,so sad, 'friends'??"
"You didn't tell us what, Gracie??"- Ed and Elena's eyes traveled towards me.
"Well!"- as Hana breathed, stopping me from speaking! "Go on, make some blind guesses!!"-she continued in an evil tone!
"HANA!! Better would be, that you and your little freaking dog,(I glanced at Everin), get your asses away from here!!'"- I clenched, my face was as red as my hair!!
She moved towards me, her eyes glancing straight into mine!!! "DOG???" -she trenched with anger!
"Yeah, a fucking little DOG!!!"- I breathed!
"That's my boyfriend!!..you—" she slammed!!
"—a person who can be your boyfriend or can love you,, gotta' be a Dog, cuz you are a bitch, for sure!!!"- I was still shaking from anger!
Silent was equipping the space between us, when she smiled, fiercely and breathed, moving more closer!-"oh! So that means, LEON! too, was a DOG??"

Suddenly, her voice started becoming heavy on my heart!....the name echoed in my mind!...I was speechless!!...so, I closed my eyes, letting my thoughts, escape into past, a point of time when everything seemed like a fairy tale.......
