“What do you think?” Scarlet and I are in the lab. I’m truly not a big fan of her but I need her help. When we first meet Tom they're was something fishy, we both felt a strange presence whenever he was around. For once we agreed on something, so we decided to dig deeper, find out who he really is.
“Okay, we both know is something's not right. You have the ability to see the good in someone and they're passions. You can tell the difference if someone is a person whos angel like or demon like me, on the other hand can tell the difference of certain demons, if someones of this world or not.”
“He gets detention a lot right?”
“Yeah….”
“Why?”
“Umm….lets see…” She says as she scrolls down his record. “Weird?”
“What?” She put the computer in my lap and signaled for me to read, so I did.
Let's see…..Tom Campbell, Hunter said that wasn’t his real last name. I made a note on a notepad. Okay let's see so he’s in detention for vandalism? I scrolled down to pictures he's spray painted in the wall, it looked like some kind of symbol, every picture he’s ever painted on a wall was of that symbol, but what did it mean? I continued the search and came across something odd. 95% of his actions are because of yelling….in the middle of class? It says in the middle of class or a lesson he’ll stand up and randomly screams to shut up? To who the teacher?
“What you got?” She says glancing at my notepad.
“What's the symbol, whats his last name and who is he screaming at?!”
“Hey! I know those markings, I’ve seen them before. The one at the top left corner means war, the one at the top left corner means death and the on at the bottom means victory. They're ancient greek symbols. I think it’s a summoning circle?”
“What about the dragon? The one in the corner?” Imagine a circle, now inside the circle is a upside down triangle. At each point is a symbol, inside of the circle our three other circles on the two sides and bottom. In the center is another symbol, on the side of the circle there is a dragon.
“What's that one mean?” I pointed to the symbol in the middle.
“I dunno? Never seen it before.” I opened a new tab as she spoke, “What are you doing?”
“Duh, I’m googling it!” I pressed enter, “Come on! Load!” Finally it loaded and we had our answer,“It means blood bonding, so why is it here?”
“I know where I've seen this.” She dug in Toms backpack.
“Wait how do you have that? He left with Tracy, it was in his hand?”
“I just a made a replica, no way I would let him have this! Aha! See?” She held out the book that was in Tom backpack, it was the same symbol we saw in his record. The dragon on the side it’s not just any dragon, it’s the Z Dragon.
“This makes no sense! He’s a Protector, why is he spray painting pictures of the thing that killed the Keepers?!”
“This symbol represents the Z Dragons awakening.”
“The Dragons what?”
“The Z Dragons awakening is when it chooses to protect and bond with it’s master or not. Sure the Z Dragons our enemy but it's also a creature of great knowledge and intellect. This symbol represents it’s awakening, the Z Dragon always has a master but almost never decides to protect it’s master. Instead the dragon will devour his or her soul, making it more powerful every time. If the Z Dragon were to bond with it’s master the person would have to be strong, cunning, daring and evil. When it bonds the Z Dragon and the person become one, I’m not sure if they would take human form or dragon form because it's never happened before.”
“So why do you think he’s painting it everywhere?”
“I don’t know?” She says continuing to search through his backpack.
“Whaddya looking for?”
“Something out of place….” She pulled out something I’d never seen before, something strange. Imagine a pair googes now think of it without curves, like a rectangle, a slick black rectangle that you would slip over your head like goggles.
“Look….” She says opening a small compartment on the side, “It looks like the perfect size for the Z Crystal.”
“Should we tell the others?” I asked worried.
“No, we haven’t really found any proof but we should tell the others. Tomorrow, it’s getting late but do you think we could check something real quick?”
Here I was, the wind running through my wings, the coolness of the clouds greeting my face, the beauty of the sky, darkness with simmering stars.
“According to what Emmy said, they met right here.” I soared down and landed at a grave, I glanced down, “T-theres no name, absolutely nothing. Hows that even possible?
“I-I don’t know….” She looked confused and worried, I was too. “Let’s talk to the person who works here.” We wandered around heading towards the light of a building. We stepped inside, “Hello?” Scarlet called out.
“Yes?” I stepped backwards, startled, a women popped out from behind the counter. “Is there anything I can help you with?” The women was young maybe in her mid 30’s. I read her name tag.
“Yeah….Sadie, I was wondering if you could tell us anything about the grave with no name on it, you know the one by the willow tree?”
“Ah yes, the nameless grave. It’s been here for years, they say no one knows who it belongs to. Though the last manger here told me only few people know who lies 6 feet under. Anyway I have to close and I’m not supposed to talk about the grave and all so….”
“We understand but thanks.” We walked out, “Not much, what do you think?”
“I think we need a explanation. Tomorrow we tell the others, I’m sure they're already passed out in their beds. For now we keep an eye on him, we still don’t know if he’s an allie or a enemy.” We both hoped through a portal taking us to H.Q.
“Thanks.” I say awkwardly.
“Yeah…….bye.” She zoomed past me, down the hall to her room.
Okay? I thought to myself.
I put on my nightgown and climbed into bed, I saw snowy perched on branch of a tree that Emmy gave me.
What do I think? I he a allie or is he a enemy?? I struggled with that thought, I see he good in everyone, even Scarlet, though I deny it sometimes. I smirked at the thought. I gently closed my eyes and had dreams of vivid colors swirling around in my head.
