Wait......what the hell?! Mark is my partner? What on earth is going on?!

"You're.......my partner?" I asked, staring at him in shock.

"Yes! Isn't that cool?"

"Um, yes, but.....what? Sorry, I'm so shocked. I can't believe this! I'm so happy for you!" I smiled. "I guess we're Chosen Ones together..."

"Yeah...." Mark grinned back.

"Can we cut to the chase already? Go on, kiss or something. I've got a bucket here, I'm ready to gag." Jasper cut in, smirking.

"Jasper! Shut up!" I shot back, blushing with embarrassment.

"Aw, Tilly's blushing? Ooh, do you think they really have a thing for each other?" Emily squealed.

"Shut up," I fondly shoved Emily. "No, we're just friends......right?" I turned to Mark.

"I guess..."

I sighed. "Guess we're gonna be spending a lot of time together as Chosen Ones."

"Yup." Mark smiled.

"Ugh. I hate it when the conversation dies. Um, nice.......weather.....we're, um, having?"

"Haha. You're such a dork, Tilly. We can't leave this place! How do you know what the weather's like?"

I smirked. "You never know, I could have a power.....to predict the weather! Yeah." I grinned. "See? Don't judge a book by its cover......Mister!"

"You're so funny, Tilly. You're also not the greatest liar."

"I'll have you know honesty is a good trait." I smirked.

"I guess. Yeah. So, what's this plan about?" Mark inquired, turning to Yuki.

"About the war. Luckily we know who Tilly's Chosen Partner is......so this war can become a real thing now. So here's what we're gonna do...." Yuki explained the battle plans to us, while I amused myself by counting to 10,000. (What? I was bored. I was listening... kind of....)

Half an hour later, when I was at five thousand and fifty three, the talk ended. We were allowed to go back to our rooms. I decided to enter the events into my diary.

October

I can't believe Mark is a Chosen One, like me! This is crazy news! Now we can destroy The Creator together! At least I won't be alone to do it....

I'm still curious to find out more about Lucia Walters and Evan Parker. Find out more about their past, and uncover more secrets! Wish me luck in finding that out, I guess.

I shut my diary, and put in my beside cabinet drawer. I'd write in it again if something interesting happens, which is likely soon what with the turn of events now.

I still can't believe Mark is my Chosen Partner! Let's hope nothing happens to him, though, like poor Lucia and Evan.......
