Fates Intertwined

7. | Locatium

Nara, Eric, and Zyran blinked confused at Lina and Aurora. They had no idea who they were talking about.

"You're making this up, aren't you?" Nara asked, nodding her head to herself as she smiled unsurely.

"If I was making this up, how would Lina know who I was talking about?" Aurora countered, crossing her arms.

"How does Lina know who she's talking about?" Zyran asked, turning to Lina.

"There was a time where everyone knew who Evelyn Mikaelson was. But when she grew stronger, more powerful, more people were afraid of her. People are scared to even utter her name, as if she's listening somehow." Lina explained simply.

"Well, hopefully, she's listening right now because we need help." Nara retorted. "So if you're listening, now would be the time to show up!" She yelled up to the sky.

"She's not all-knowing, Nara." Aurora deadpanned.

She shrugged. "Worth a shot."

"So how do we find this Evelyn Mikaelson?" Zyran redirected the conversation.

"We can't." Aurora replied simply.

"What do you mean can't?"

"Markus has been looking for Evelyn since she was eighteen. She's, what, forty now? If Markus, who is much better equipped than we are, can't find her, what makes you think we can?" Aurora asked, wrapping her arms around herself against the breeze.

"Then how do we find her?" Lina asked.

She looked directly at her as she answered, "A locatium."

"A what?" They all asked, confused. Aurora rolled her eyes.

"A locatium. A locator witch."

"You know one?" Zyran asked.

She nodded. "Her name's Seanna. She's been around since I was a teenager. But I don't know where she is anymore. It's been over a century." Zyran pulled out his phone and Aurora took a step back. She pointed. "What is that?"

He glanced from her to the phone and back. "It's my phone. We can use it to look her up."

Aurora shook her head, grabbing it from his hands. "That's not how you find a witch."

"Okay, Miss I-know-everything." Lina retorted snarkily. "How do we find this witch?"

"We go to the one man who knows exactly where to find her." She answered. "The only problem is he likes to hide out in a club and, quite frankly, I'm not suited to go inside a club." She looked down at her outfit.

"Well, we can find a gas station and get you cleaned up." Zyran shrugged.

"Great suggestion!" Nara said with fake-enthusiasm. "Totally not like these are the easiest woods to get lost in."

Zyran rolled his eyes, blowing out a breath. "Then what do you suggest?"

"First, we figure out how to get the hell out of these woods." She adjusted Eric, who was practically falling asleep in her arms. She grunted as she laid him down on the ground. "You're heavy. Someone else can carry your bulky ass." She turned back to Zyran. "As I was saying. We figure out how to get out of these woods then we can go from there."

Eric groaned. "My head is spinning. It feels like we're on a wild goose chase."

"Well, if you four hadn't broken into an abandoned building and let me escape, none of this would be happening." Aurora retorted.

"Uh uh!" Lina shook her head and a single finger. "You don't get to blame this on us. You could've ran anywhere else, but you chose to find us."

"Yeah, and I'm seriously beginning to regret it." She threw back.
