Tanyra: Avora! I'm saying something! What's on your mind?!
Me: Tany! Speak up! I will tell you about it later. What about Shyera and Irwin were you saying?
Tanyra: Okay.I'm repeating it all over. I called Shyera and.....she answered, finally. She told me about the whole scenario. Once out with Amyra and Irwin, she had got a call from Silvee to come to the market. But that market was not there, exactly how it had been for us. And then, she called us back to the house.
I had stopped listening again. I was stunned by the beautiful view in front of us.
We were standing in front of a large lake, with three empty boats, which had just one seat each. The lake was surrounded by a line of flowers of every species one couldn't even differentiate. We could not see where the lake ended. Beside the lake, on both sides, were rocky mountains covered with what seemed as dried lava, and thorny bushes. The water in the lake was crystal clear, and one could easily mistake it for a huge mirror, if it wasn't for the tiny lotus playing with the wind at the banks of the lake, causing huge ripples.
As we neared the lake in silence, Ashton bent down to pick up what seemed a half-burnt scroll. He unfolded it. We read it, shocked to see it was written in English.
104995
Beware. Amyra Everhingham, the younger daughter of Tyler Everhingham is after you. Questions may arise in your mind. Just follow the route through scrolls and the three of you will soon be here. The three of you, may lose trust for each other in this quest. Four of you friends are waiting at the oppisite side of this lake. The journey. Its not easy. As for this first step, you have to choose your route. Both the routes have their pros and cons. It's upon you tto decide. Get as far as you can. All the very best.
All the three of us frowned as we finished reading it. The undersigned name was completely burnt, so the identity of its writer was hidden. What did that mean?
It was a few minutes of silence before we figured out we couldn't do anything else except follow the scroll. Ash made the first move, and started to untie the rope of the first boat from where it was hung. Tanyra moved and sat in that boat, trying to maintain her balance. I went next, and sat in the boat next to it. Once all the preparations were done, we left the shore, looking back to have one last glanceat it and.......
It was then that I realised the house was made of rock. And It had a big window with someone waving a goodbye as we left.
Creepy.
Who?
Who was it?
Someone knew we would be leaving.
Had that person planned it?
Oh my god.
The house was getting covered by fog as we left.
We kept rowing on and on and on. It seemed like that lake had no end. And by now, the rocky mountains on the sides had disappeared, too. It felt like an hour had passed since we left.
My hands were paining like I had lifted the whole planet for hours.
I took my cellphone out to check the time. It wasn't even fifteen minutes since we left. But.......
I then noticed the date it had been showing.
It was five days since we came here.
Another weekend was near.
And we had missed college since then.(Not that I cared about that one, though.)
And we were still here. We had to get out of here as soon as possible. Anyhow.
