Oliver and I were in panic mode. I knew I shouldn't be, but I was. I'm worried about her because my best friend likes her, that's why, this is for his sake. That's what i told myself at least.
Elliot was calm as always, trying to find the most logical solution.
"The fairy was the mezzo, since they are all either fairies or switches. Maybe the Mezzo took them" Elliot said Calm, Oliver nodding along as if the explanation made sense, i mean we did know the Mezzo were going to try to find Christina sooner or later
"They wouldn't have taken Nicolette, they like to only take what is needed," I growl at them, "Phil don't take, Mezzo only take what is needed, and Nefarious take what they want and insurance , the Nefarious took her. Trust me, i know how they work"
They looked at me doubtfully as we hear the door bell ring. We had been meeting in the front hall, so it only took seconds to open the door.
Out side our door, stood walter, Chrissy's dorky brother, the last person i expected to see.
"Nefarious have her" he said, pushing past us to enter our home, "Dolly was panicking and then disappeared so we can't count on her for help."
"We?" I immediately question, let me tell you something now, I generally don't trust people, i know if I was anyone but me I wouldn't trust myself, so that makes we generally suspicious of all other people.
"She is like a little sister to me, I am going to help save her" He glared at us,
"No I am not really her sister, she is Izidora, I am Dolly's son, my real name is Walter" he clarified, seeing our looks of confusion when he said that he wasn't really her sister.
"She is like a real little sister to me," he continued, "and I will treat her like my little sister forever, if either of you boys who think she is cute dare hurt her, i will personally hurt you"
okay, this Walter was scaring me I thought to myself, I glanced at Oliver and saw him blushing furiously, at the mention of Chrissy and I had to grin at him.
Eliot speaks up, "Mezzo, Nefarious, or Phil?" That is all he wants to know after Walter's monologue
"Dolly, my mother was Phil, my father was a born Phil but switched Mezzo, I have to agree with my Father" Walter responded, pacing our front hall
"How do you know it is the Nefarious who have Nicolette and Christina?" is Elliot's next question
"King Zeiden killed Sirus, he was coming to kill Izidora when my mother took her." Elliot raised his eyebrows at Walter's easy confession, but seems to believe his response. I on the other hand, feel like it is a trick. Why would he confess so easy to what his mother did wrong? But Elliot doesn't question this instead has another question.
"Why didn't you tell us you were Phil before now? we are all Phil." Elliot gestures to the three of us and I wince at the white lie
"My mother and I have been hididng this world from Christina for as long as I have known to speak. It just feels natural to keep the secret" Walter shrugs
I can't believe that Oliver and Elliot are eating this up and believing his every word.
"Team meeting" I say, glancing at Elliot and Oliver hoping neither make any decisions that will put our rescue mission in danger
We huddle on one side of the hall as Walter absently examines some art hanging on the other side of the hall.
"I don't trust him" I say, Just as Oliver says "I trust him"
we glare at each other, trust is one thing we always argue over.
"Give me one reason why we shouldn't trust him." Oliver said
"Give me one reason why we should" I replied
"stop it" Elliot interrupting our bickering, and giving us a sharp glare, "We need as much help as we can" he said
"but he is going to mess up in the castle" I wine
"Fine, me and him will won't go in the castle then" Elliot roles his eyes at my childless, but I know I can't argue with his compromise so I sigh in relief, at least Oliver and I would be able to save Chrissy on our own.
We turned towards Walter, and he put his hand up hesitently, offering to help make the portal. Eliot nodded at him and put his hand up. Oliver followed his motion but i was hesitent. Oliver glared at me and i sighed dramaticly, putting my hand up.
"Nous devons aller a la chateau de Nefarious" we chanted together. I squeezed my eyes shut and felt it working. It felt like the first drop on a roller coaster, I hated it. I felt the ground at my feet, like I had just jumped of a couch.
I looked around and saw we were in a line of trees. In a wide clearing i could see the dark castle of the nefarious. It was dark every were and it physically felt cold. There was a small dirt road leading away from the castle, worn with cart tracks, hoof prints and foot prints.
I heard Elliot gasp beside me and he started running towards a figure in the road. I looked close at the oil and dirt covered girl in the road. Her hair was pulled back in a messy pony tail and tears were streaming down her face. The girl was Nicolette.
