Zemblanity

Chapter 6

I'm starting to think that Avy was right, I mean I do have a baby face... never mind, I'm bored. I might as well get this done and check the food out. Aunty honestly didn't seem like she was interested in him that way, but we tend to be nosy all the time. So, she won't be too surprised by our actions. well, my actions she would be surprised, Evander putting me up to this not so much. Honestly it would be awkward if he is just her superior, but as long as I word the questions right. It shouldn't be too hard to get out of it.

I walk along the walls of the hall, matching the movement of my aunt and her partner. I only need to put up an act of innocence and ask the roundabout questions. I should probably ask some questions about Aunt Rachal too to sell the whole thing Evander probably wanted to do it and he probably could yet we both knew Avy wouldn't allow it. We took into consideration her opinion and our surroundings and telepathically decided I was the one who would do the questioning. Avy was the one who gave him the idea and then is in disbelief when we do it. The look she had on was funny. I am suddenly reminded of that incident and a shiver crawls up my spine. The song comes to an end. They start to head towards the hallways.

I hope it is some work related because I don't want to know any details of my aunts love life, but I still follow since this might be one of my only chances to talk to him and well, I can interrupt if it takes that turn as I walk by a washroom, I come with a plan. When I get closer, I freeze, and listen because they are closer than I thought.

I lean against the wall and hope for the best.

Aunt Rachel whispers hurriedly "Evander and Andy made something similar to a burner phone, it's just improved according to the times. It can't be traced since they are using an entirely different radio frequency, and it doesn't use much of the electricity of the dome which means it can be used from outside as well. I think it's at the back of their mind, but they are somewhat aware of it as well. They plan to make another for the whole family. I can give mine to you" well that's rude, she continued disregarding how we would feel about that.

" There seems to be a disadvantage" I'll show you disadvantage.

"though like how only one can call and the other receives the calls...Richard can we tell them -"she was cut off and one thing came to mind, now it makes sense why she didn't discourage us... Evander was right he is a bit rude. I gnaw at my lips to help organize my thoughts.

"Rachel, we can't be too hasty. We can consider the boys but what about Avyanna. I know you want include everyone."

Aunt Rachel was silent "she isn't rej- "

" But she won't risk it will she? the boys are showing interest in this we can consider that they might want to be part of it, but Avyanna hasn't shown any interest in any of it and in fact she seems to be dead set on not leaving the dome."

"I can't always understand her feelings. Sometimes even Evander struggles, and he's, her twin." she hesitated.

This is far out of my league, yet I stay why? Because it is sating my curiosity and giving me a headache.

"What is it? Rachel from what you have said she seems to question your actions on supporting the boys. She doesn't like how they are creating technology of the past. She spoke harshly of the past. She said it to her sibling's face. Knowing the weight of her word." How dare he! "The things we are doing is exactly what she seems to hate. She doesn't say it outright, but from how she is acting she seems to be afraid. We can't have that-" Yanna isn't afraid.

"She isn't afraid, she really isn't!" she cut him off in exasperation. way to go Aunt Rachel! "If anything, she seems to know" that made me freeze from complimenting Rachel anymore. Well, just great. Aunt Rachel isn't the only one. A sting brings me back. My lip is bleeding. That gives me clarity to realize that aunt Rachel wasn't too sure about that statement.

"What do you mean she seems to know?"

"She suspects me. It's obvious from her behavior and words. She may not know the whole story, but she knows I'm up to something I shouldn't be. I don't want to lose her trust. She's just worried about the safety of her family." I purse my lips. 

"Rachel, I can't understand what you're feeling, but you need to involve the boys. They might be able to help. You must act quickly. I know you're faced with tough choices, but nothing is ever easy, especially with what we're involved in. They're eliminating anyone who could be connected to our activities. They're becoming more cautious." He spoke with urgency, and my mind swirled with this new information. The stinging of my lip couldn't even help organize my thoughts.

she sighs and says "ok I'll see what I can do "that was all I heard when I heard the click clacking sound of her heels coming towards me so I go to the nearest door which happened to be a washroom. I sigh at this information I didn't want to hear. Is this why Aunt Rachel has been acting the way she is. When the sound of the heels faded, I left the washroom and headed to the main hall with one thought on my mind 'what else is going on behind the scenes'.
