Infinite Gravity (Zero Rises)

FF (7)

"Okay, so. . ." Will put the box down after helping carry it inside of the Museum. "What do we use to open this?"

Bill sat on the floor, staring at the box. "I have no idea."

Will curled his lips inwards, turning to stare at the box as well. "There has to be some sort of opening to it, right?"

"I'm trying to find it," Bill flopped to the ground, rolling to get an upsidedown view of the box. "All we got from it was the sun hitting it and those drawings appearing. Sadly, that didn't help a lot!"

Will passed a finger on the edges of the box. Bill raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to see if there are any hidden crevices or something like that."

Bill poked the box a few times, his tongue sticking out. "Whatever's inside of it better be worth it!"

After poking, Bill's finger went inside a small hole. His eyes went wide and he grinned. "Found something!"

Will crouched around it to see what he found. "We need a key now!"

Bill looked at Will. "Seen any crowbars around?"

Will frowned at his brother. "Do we have to?"

"Do we have any idea how to find the key for this thing?" Bill spun before his head felt dizzy. "Come on, bro, we found this by accident! We ain't finding the key to that by stumbling on it!" he snorted. "I mean, would love if we did, but there's no fun in that! Lightnings won't fall twice on the same place. . . Or however the saying is."

The creak of the door opening startled the twins. They spun, darting their eyes to look at whoever caught them in their secret mission. The person stopped at the door, looking down with confused, blinking eyes. "My, my," a smile came to the familiar face. "You startled me, kids."

Will curled his lips inwards. "More like you startled us. . ."

"Hey, Sidney! What's up?" Bill sat in front of the box in a sad attempt of hiding it. "We are just chilling in this. . . Very well-decorated room."

Sidney Piper, the one who interrupted, raised an eyebrow. "Glad you like the decoration. I helped make it."

Bill and Will seemed shocked. "You did?" both paid attention to the room now. The carpet, which they were sitting on, was indigo, having a Sun and a Moon placed like an yin-yang and a black hole in the middle. The walls were painted white. The window covered an entire wall, showing the view of the forest. There were some other boxes at the back which were still shut, papers placed on top of them. The bulb above them was shaped held by a golden scale, one side having a brain and the other side having an anatomically accurate heart.

"It's different," Bill turned to Percy with a grin. "I like stuff that is different!"

Sidney smiled. "I assumed so."

Bill raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"So. . . What's in the box?"

Will and Bill shared a look. Will looked away, feeling sweat appear on his forehead. Bill put his hands on his waist. "Box? What box? We didn't touch the boxes that were back there, if you are wondering! Aside from those boxes, there's not another box!"

"Bill, I can see the box glowing behind you."

Bill turned to look behind him, with the realisation that it was, indeed, glowing. Oh trash.

"We. . . Don't know either," Will admitted, finally looking at Sidney. "We found it in the woods and— We tried opening it, but it's impossible!"
