Spirit Animals - The Ten Keepers: The Lost Talisman of Ursala [Book Two]

Chapter Thirteen - Real Or Fake

I'm really sorry that I haven't updated for a while. I was staying at a place where there was no wifi but i've been writing so hopefully these chapters are enough!

I know some of you guys are reading this but only 2 or 3 are voting and commenting. Please don't be afraid to comment. (I don't bite)

Btw, I've written an interview for my characters in "The Ten Keepers" so if you have any questions or dares for the characters, please comment in that story.

Enjoy!

John's POV

They've been walking for who knows how long and they were starting to get exhausted.

"I can't walk anymore," John exclaimed, falling into a sitting position.

"You can't walk or you don't want to?" Lin asked before sitting down as well.

"I guess we better rest for a while," Haley decided and everyone sat down.

No one talked and it started to get awkward as they just sat there.

"So..." John spoke, "There's this question that I've wanted to ask someone ever since she somehow was risen back to life."

Everyone's gaze darted to Lin who flinched. Haley watched with curiosity.

"Risen back to life?" Haley asked, confused and curious.

"Remember when we said there were Ten Keepers?" John said, "One of them died then came back very much alive a year later after the war."

"Who is this Keeper who died?" Haley asked again.

"Well, her name is Eilene," John answered, "The first time I met her she was..."

His voice trailed off when he saw Lin glaring at him that says, "Don't you dare say another word."

"She was very annoying," John went on.

"Sure it wasn't the other way around?" George asked making a couple of them chuckle.

"She was annoying to me," John exclaimed, "Anyways we became friends of course because of socializing more."

"By socializing do you mean by arguing and fighting?" Zoron said.

"That's how we got closer," John replied, "By arguing and fighting. She was also...very confusing. The night before she betrayed us all-"

"She betrayed you?" Hale exclaimed.

"Er, yeah but I don't even know what to believe anymore," John sighed, "The night before that she says she cares. The day after that she betrays us and when we meet again in the war her own father gave his life to save our mentor and guardian. Then the same day she dies and a year later she comes back as someone else and says she knows all the answers on defeating this Wyrm."

"She comes back as someone else?" Haley said, confused.

"I don't even know if she's Lin because I still see the Eilene I know," John replied.

Haley looked at Lin in shock who was looking somewhere else, "Lin was the one who betrayed you? Your guide?"

"We better go now," Lin said abruptly, "We're wasting time talking about nothing."
