Facing The Truth (Truth Series 1)

5: Secrets Of The Past

Jason's POV

Eden's gaze shifts between Seto, Jordan, and Ryan before landing on Bodil. Softly she asks, "Are you the same Bodil that makes parkour maps?"

Bodil smiles. "Yes! I'm guessing you've been on one before."

She nods. "Mmhmm. I used to go on them all the time when I was younger. I haven't had a chance to go on one in the past few years thou."

I laugh. "That might be a good thing, now all his maps are full of trolls."

Eden looks at Sky. "Oh, really!? That must be interesting especially if this idiot attempts them."

"Hey, I'm not that bad!" Sky shouts. "I just hate cactus and ladder parkour and Bodil likes adding them to every map just to annoy me!"

"At least it works," Bodil says laughing. Everyone joins in.

There are a few moments of silence after we stop laughing. The silence is broken by Eden. "You know it was on one of your maps that Aden and I first called Adam, Sky."

"Really? That must have been interesting." Bodil states surprised. We all look at Eden as if willing her to tell the story. However Sky just stares at her in confusion.

"Oh come on Sky, don't tell me you can't remember it." Eden says giving a fake gasp. "It was that one we always went on. You know, the one completely made of gold."

"It's budder!" Sky protests.

Eden smirks and continues as if he hadn't said a thing. "And we found enchanted gold armor and swords. You and Aden would always end up battling each other. Then there was that one time I beat you both with an OP enchanted gold ax that I found along with a go... Urgh! I can't do this anymore!" She suddenly shouts shaking her head in frustration.

"What do you mean?" Seto asks.

She groans and points her thumb at Sky. "I've known this idiot for fifteen years. After a while his morals get drilled into your head. Especially when he's always correcting you whenever you say the g-word. It's weird... And kind of annoying!"

We all laugh silently agreeing with what she had said.

"Wait! You've known each other for fifteen years!" Mitch exclaims.

"Unfortunately," Sky groans.

Eden laughs. "Yup! We grew up together."

"How old are you!?" Mitch cries out.

"It's rude to ask a girl her age." Eden states suddenly serious. Mitch looks at the ground, cheeks turning red with shame. She giggles lightly. "I was only kidding, geez. I'm five years younger than Adam. So I'm fifteen."

Everyone laughs as Mitch blushes again but this time in embarrassment. Then Jerome says, "Wait, How old is Adam then?"

Eden giggles grow as she says, "You know there's a special something called math. You just add five to fifteen."

We all laughs again as Sky states, "I'm twenty." He then looks to the sky. "We should leave soon if we want to make it to the city before nightfall." I follow his gaze and notice that we have about five hours until nightfall. Holy crap! We got here around noon. Have we really been sitting here for three hours!? Sighing I stand up, everyone else follows suit. Then we all walk toward the city.

We are still talking and goofing off when we get to the city about three and a half hours later. As we walk to Ian's house Eden once again grabs Sky's arm. Once we find the right house Sky knocks on the door. We wait a few minutes but there is no reply. That's when I speak up. "They might be at the base."
