Immortal Love (A RomCom)

Ch.14 Box of Souls

Right after school, everyone decided to go to the mansion where Raven and Cameron told everyone about the accident in Chemistry as they all went into the living room.

"You blew up a volcano?" Tyler said surprised "Cool!"

"No, not cool" Cameron said "We had to clean everything up and my hands still smell like baking soda lava."

"You know I don't understand how that happened" Raven said "I used my magic correctly."

"Maybe magic doesn't go well with science" Dawn said.

"No, I've done it before, I don't know why it backfired today."

"Huh" Cameron said as he wondered why.

"So Ethan" Ivy said "What was it you wanted to show us?"

"Oh right" he said as he pulled out his phone "So I was in the library when I overheard Alex talking to some vampires, and I figured it sounded important to I recorded it."

He then pressed play as everyone listened.

"Note to self" they heard Ethan's voice say "Don't forget on Saturday to buy some more anti-diarrhea pills plus ointment, and if possible, try to get back at Tyler for scaring me on Sunday night by-".

"Oh those are confidential notes!" Ethan quickly exclaimed as he stopped the recording "Nothing to worry about! Uh here it is."

He pressed play as everyone heard the announcement Alex made to the vampires in the library.

"Who's Annie Marum?" Tyler asked.

"No it's the Animarum" Raven said with her eyes widen "It's Latin for box of souls."

"Box of souls?" Ethan said.

"That doesn't sound good" Dawn said with a worried look.

"What is that?" Tyler asked.

"I've heard Alex mention it before" Ivy said "But I never knew was it was."

"Well according to Wikipedia..." Cameron said as he looked on his phone "The Animarum is an ancient spirit box that can trap any souls. And some hundred years ago, vampires invaded a town called Paranoia-".

"Paranoia" Tyler snickered "Seriously?"

"Yeah" Cameron shrugged "Anyway, the vampires killed more than 200 people and trapped their souls in the Animarum, that is until some monster hunters were able to kill them all and released everyone's souls back to their bodies. After the incident, the town was renamed to Para and the Animarum was buried in a secret place where it still remains."

"Looks like it's not so secret anymore since Alex knows where it is" Ivy said.

"So why does he want the box?" Ethan asked.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out."

"Now uh, Ethan" Tyler said "About this trying to get back at me thing, you just triggered an idea for me."

"Just forget you ever heard that" Ethan said with a bored look "I wont do it."

"Mm hm" Tyler doubted.

He then pointed his 2 fingers at his eyes then at Ethan giving him a warning look as Ethan just rolled his eyes. Just then Ethan's phone started to ring, he saw that his brother was calling.

"Hey Jared" he answered his phone.

"Dude!" Jared said on the other line "You would not believe where I'm at!"
