Ancients of Autumnrose (Heads or Tails: Vol. II)

Chapter VI: The Picture

Chloe still didn't reply. Her fists her clenched as well as her teeth. Aracely looked at France and gestured her finger to go to a certain spot to talk. He nodded and followed Aracely. "Even though today was only your first day at Whitson Academy, just know Chloe doesn't normally act like this; she's usually more talkative," Aracely whispered, hoping Chloe didn't hear that. "I can already tell," France whispered back. Aracely looked at Chloe and back at France, gesturing to him to leave the dorm. He nodded and did as the gesture said, or did. 

"Alright, I found this photo in that book of the history of Whitson Academy." Aracely began as she pulled out a photo; the photo had a family in it. Four kids and a mother. "But, isn't there suppose to be a father with the family?" France asked. Aracely nodded. "He's ripped off from the image," she replied. "It's only a girl who seems like she's in 1st grade, two young boys and a baby girl and obviously a mother with them. You can't see any sign of his appearance, but you can notice it's been ripped by someone who despises him," Aracely explained. "Wait, doesn't that little girl look familiar to you?" France asked, pointing to te girl next to her mother in the pink shirt. Aracely's eyes widened with realization. "That's...."

"Chloe," Both France and Aracely whispered at once as they looked at the dorm door. "Let's go to the library, now," Aracely said. France nodded and they both went downstairs. 

In the library, they searched all over the place to find a certain book they were looking for. "What did you say the book was called?" Aracely whispered. "Cassius," France replied in a whisper voice. Aracely gasped and gestured to France that she found the book. France replied with a thumbs up and they headed towards a room in the library that let them concentrate better to find some clues. "Is this room soundproof or something?" France asked. Aracely nodded. "Yep, and if the room is occupied, it lets everyone know at the door since they can't see through the window. It's a mirror to them, but a window to us," Aracely explained about the room. "Ah, cool. Anyway, we need to read about this book, it has information that we need." France said. Aracely blinked twice. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I'm not sure why, but I feel like Chloe and Cassius have some sort of relation to each other," he replied. Aracely looked at him for a bit, she never really thought of that theory...

"I'll be the judge of that....."
