Figment Reborn

Chapter 3 Firrelol's Surprise

My butterfly swooped by my hair and back to my necklace as Harry walked in. We hadn't seen him in days due to another vision. He was finally awake, and looked terrible, bloodshot eyes with dark circles. He had a croaky voice, too.

"You are awake," I said," are you hungry?" I walked over to one of the tables where there were always apples and pears.

"No, but thank you for your kind gesture," Harry looked very exhausted. He was in a bath robe, his hand rubbed against his temples, obviously showing that he had a headache.

Adela walked in and her eyes were instantly lit up. Her dark amber hair swished across her shoulder. She gave Harry a little peck on his cheek. Louis came in the same way as Adela. In his hand was a plate of what looked to be a half eaten steak.

"I hope Harry won't--" Louis' eyes drifted toward Harry's.

"Hey guys!" Louis yelled from the parlor into the kitchen area." Harry is awake!"

"What are you eating?" I asked.

"Jane's sirloin. She made it herself." Harry got up and walked into the kitchen along with Adela. I walked in after Louis.

Unlike that rest of the castle, the kitchen had modern appliances. A stainless steal oven and refrigerator built into the walls.

Firrelol was there, everyone was there. There was a leather bound book under Firrelol's arm. He looked worried as if there was something to confess.

"Zayn!" Firrelol said. Zayn's head perked up. "Name one thing you know about being a Figment,"

"We were once ghosts!" Louis interrupted.

"Louis," he paused," was I talking to you?" Louis sat back in his chair.

"Zayn," Firrelol cleared his throat. "continue,"

"When we are changed, the procedure gives us a something in our bodies that gives us an ability---"

Firrelol cut him off by the loud sound of a clicking of buckles to the book. Yes, buckles. The book was to be kept closed for a reason. Everybody's eyes were fixed on the book.

"I have been gone since Christmas and I am pretty sure you have been wondering where I have been, right? And, it doesn't matter if you ddin't becuase I just came back from Corurbe," Firrleol said.

"You went to Corurbe!" Zayn said." Without us!"

"What is Corurbe?" Everyone looked at me like there was a man with a gun behind me. I heard footsteps coming in from the hallway. They were faint but audible.

"Ethel, Corurbe is the home of all Figments, it is where our kind were created," It was Nadia making noises while trying to evesdrop. Her hair brushed and her eyes glossy from sleep.

"Nadia," Firrelol said." What are you doing awake?"

"It is 10:00 in the morning," She said."A letter came. Came earlier this morning," She reached out a thin arm and handed the letter to her father. We all shifted our view to Firrelol.

"We get mail?" I asked. The letter didn't look like you average bill in the mail. This letter had spidery script written on the front with an address labled in latin. The envelope with thin with a wax seal to keep it closed. Firrelol looked ever so suprised.

"What is it," Louis asked.

"This is a letter from Corurbe,"
