xv - Suspicious Actions

"Everett knows? How?!" Alex stood there aghast.

Anne ran her hand through her hair and shook her head. "I have no idea."

"Justin is the only one that knows about the Druids, how would this even be possible?"

"Mr. Sand's organization, Dark Core." Linda corrected them. "They know about us, we're their ultimate enemy remember?" She reminded them.

Anne shook her head no. "That still doesn't explain Everett knowing."

There was a long pause in the cabin. The four girls stood there wordlessly.

"That only leaves one conclusion."

All of them leaned forward eagerly to hear Linda's next words.

She pushed up her glasses. "Everett is a Dark Rider."

Alex groaned, rolling her eyes. "Oh, would you shut it."

"Alex, it's the only thing that makes sense."

"But that's just the thing, it doesn't. Elizabeth would know if they had a spy here." Alex assured them. "At least, I would think she would." She scratched the back of her neck.

Anne still sat at the edge of her bed, utterly wordless to say the least. 

"Maybe were going about this all the wrong way?" Lisa suggested.

The three girls cocked their heads at her, curious to see what she said next. 

"Anne, you said you guys were arguing."

She nodded her head yes.

"Maybe it was a lie." She said. "To try and intimidate you."

Anne rubbed the top of her forehead. "I mean, I guess it's possible."

"It's more than possible." Linda jumped in. "We need to tell Avalon and Eliza-"

A loud knock was heard from outside.

The four girls stood completely frozen. It was coming from the cabin hallway which had to mean it was either Elizabeth or Elise. The one thing they had in common was that neither of them knew the frightening situation they were absorbed in, which meant they could've just exposed themselves.

Anne gulped. "Who is it?"

"Uh, It's Elise. Is everything okay in there?"

The girls looked at each other with concerned glares.

"W-Were fine." Anne hollered back through the wooden door.

Elise stood there in silence, hesitating before she spoke again. "C-Can I come in?"

Anne bit her lip, turning her head to Alex who was aggressively shaking her head no.

"Uh, yeah sure."

Alex threw her hands in the air silently.

The wooden door creaked open as the girls caught view of her. She was wearing her long black hair in a half up and had her classic leather jacket tied around her waist. "I don't mean to be all up you guys business but-.."

The four of them focused their eyes on her.

"But,-what's going on?" She finally asked.

Alex sighed. "Did you go to the party last night?"

"Get together." Anne corrected her dryly.

Elise formed a confused glare.  "No, did something happen?"
