THE WHISPERING✓

Chapter three.

The two sisters walked in silence for a while, none felt the need to say anything or even make light conversations.
After one of the first ever awkward breakfast each had ever experienced, Zia was left to clean up the table they had eaten on, while Lara took the liberty to get everything set for there little trip to visit ma and pa.
They left the house they both knew as home with an air of awkwardness enveloping them both, walking alongside each other on the cobbled road path, bustling with people, both old and young, who had rose from their beds to start their day off.
Both females still hadn't said a word to each other, as time went by and neither of them took the courage to break the tense air, they both sighed at the same time.
Shocked, Zia turned to look at her sister Lara ,

"There's something your not telling me zia, i can feel it." Smart as she was Zia knew Lara would figure it out sooner or later, she had been acting strange for so long, if she hadn't been so convincing she was certain Lara would have called out her bluff already.
"There's nothing Lara, stop worrying so much" Zia said.

"Then what was that?"

"What was what?" Zia asked feigning ignorance to her Questions.

"The shouting alone in the back area, the seeing strangers in the woods, and not to talk about the nightmares you keep having ?!" She could hear the frustration and pent up anger sipping from her at this point.
"That was nothing remember!, Like you said I must have imagined it, and the nightmares are just nightmares Lara, drop them " she sighed, if she told her what was truly going on, her sister would flip so much so that should end up being dragged to a Lu house. If the stranger was truly coming like he said he was she had to face him alone, who knew if he was dangerous or even out to kill her??

"For how long Zia? How long will you continue to lie to me, I know your not fine, I can see it, I just really hope you know what your doing, I can't lose you to." Lara said fear coated alongside her words .
At this point they had both reach the intersection that stood in the middle of town, what lay head were buildings and more buildings that housed work industries and government properties, such as the school, the clinical facility, the court house and a library.
Seeing as they both had to part ways here, they turned to each other.

"I'll meet you here as soon as the noon sun goes out and the government buildings lock up for the day " Lara said to her.

"Sure, I better be going now, I wouldn't want to keep madam Edett waiting." Zia said with a last glance back at the stone path they had both just walked up from.

While zia took the right turn to get to the town's library, Lara took the left. She worked for the work industries that provided them most of the goods they couldn't cultivate on their own.
Zia had been working in the town's library for over a year now, she enjoyed it, they wasn't always much to do, just sit around waiting for others to come return and borrow books, and then she had her own free will to read books.
She often read from their history sections when madam Edett permitted her, fascinated by the events that had passed down for generations before she was even birthed.
She walked for no longer than fifteen minutes before she saw the library's familiar building structure come into view, hurrying her footsteps she stood at the wooden door, one that was crafted with so much precision, she wondered who actually made it at times.
Surely it wasn't anyone in avonle. No one possessed such skill, she sighed maybe it could be from another kingdom definitely not from hers.
As she passed through the door to the other side, she saw madam Edett look up from the pile of books she was stacking, a warm smile graced on her youthful face.
