"This is going to be terrible," I repeated for the hundredth time. "No it's not," Anna said. "Oh no don't you start giving me advice. I know my brother enough to know that this is a trap," I said. "We all know this is a trap," Bert reassured me. "Are you sure we're armed enough for this? Maybe we can wait for Dan to give us backup or-or we could, y'know, stock up on some grenades? Just in case?" I asked weakly.
"We have no time. Let's go over the plan once more, that seems alright?" Bert asked. I simply nodded in response. "Okay. So you and I go in to find your Grandma's grave, Chloe and Anna cover for us and Hunter and Em are on the lookout in the van. Right?" He asked to make sure. "Yes," I confirmed.
"Oh it's fine, being on the lookout is what the coolest people in a mission get," Emily tried to convince her twin, who was sulking at the idea of only being there to look out. "Besides, if things go south, we can drive the jeep and get them like in a James Bond movie," Em said and Hunter immediately perked up. All the adults raised their eyebrows at the kids.
"Who told you you could drive?" Chloe asked. "Well, we would be saving your lives so don't mind too much," Hunter said and we just squinted at them before we figured they were joking. Probably.
"Alright then. Let's get moving," I said and stepped out the van with Bert on my trail. While walking I could hear Anna and Chloe bicker, but at the time it seemed more like a 'will they/won't they get together?' type of situation.
"Do you have literally any idea where the grave is?" Bert asked once he saw my frustrated expression. "I haven't been here in at least ten years! Give me a break!" I defended myself. "So you have no idea where the grave is?" He deadpanned. "Well, no," I grimaced. "Oh, lovely,"He muttered and walked along.
"Well what was her name?" He asked. "Athena Anora," I answered. "Damn. Your sister's named after your grandma?" "Yeah," I answered Bert.
"GUYS! I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING HERE!" Anna called out. We all rushed over to see a grave with the name 'Athena Anora.' We quickly scrambled, trying to look for any clues around.
"Umm... Nyx. You might wanna see this," Chloe called out with uncertainty as she brought me along to another grave close to my grandmom's.
Or rather, two graves next to each other.
"I'm-I'm sorry I-" I couldn't focus on what was being said now. I immediately dropped to my knees while staring at the two graves in shock.
'Hercules Anora,' and 'Athena Anora.'
