"What? Azzy, nothing's your fault! And, what do you mean by 'the people who wanted your power'?" Lennia asked, attempting to calm her dear friend.
"There are bad people out there, Len. The people who want my power are often the same people who control the shadows," Asriel does her best to explain the situation.
"Uh... You mean 'controlers'...?" Lennia seems to be trying to figure something in her head.
"Pretty much. Why?" Asriel is confused.
"Asriel... The ones who attacked the city were with those shadows I'd seen when you first demonstrated your magic..." Lennia trails off.
"Before I tell you anymore, Len, I need for you to tell me as much as possible about what happened here, okay?" Asriel pretended to ask, but it was really a bit more of a command.
Lennia sighs, "All right. You want me to start from when I noticed something was completely off?"
"If it'll make more sense that way, then yes," Asriel replies curtly.
"Okay, so it was a few days after your, uh... departure. Things had seem normal passed your absence, until I started to get the feeling I was being watched," Lennia pauses to glance at Asriel's face, she had an unreadable expression on her face. Lennia could only pray Asriel was listening, but she decided to continue anyway, since Alaya might want to know this as well. "It felt so strange. It wasn't a good feeling, either. It felt almost... wrong. Like whatever was watching me didn't belong there. I eventually told Sapphire about it, and she had been having the same feeling for as long as I had. I honestly still have no clue what was watching me, but I'm starting to believe it might've been-"
"One of the shadows," Alaya interrupted.
"How did yo-" Lennia couldn't finish her sentence. Someone was coming inside.
"That's why," Alaya whispered quickly, walking over to Asriel. "Come on, Rei, we don't have time for this!" That seemed to snap Asriel out of her daze. Grabbing them by their hands, Alaya pulled the other two out of the entry way hall, and into another room- a (hopefully) safer one.
Hey, guys! Sorry this is a bit of a cliffhanger, but I really needed to get this out. I hadn't originally planned on having someone walk in during the conversation, but I guess Wattpad deletin what I already had is good for something... Right? Anyways, I'll see you later.
