“Are you sure this is the smart thing to do?” Phillip asked
Everyone from the student council, except Austin were waiting in the living room
“I don’t think it is…” Havier said whilst reading a book
“I’m sure he’ll explain why he’s willing to tell her” Haley said
“I told you what he told me…think that’s the best you’re going to get” Antonio shrugged
“Let’s just go up for council, we’ll get some answers- they’ll probably be done soon” Haley said whilst leading the way upstairs
Annabelle, who was holding Henry lingered behind with him, “What’s your take on all of this?”
“I’m not sure Anna. Zac has his reasons for doing things”
“Do you agree with them?”
“Not this one, no…but we’ll see what happens”
Annabelle nodded and kissed him
*******
“I know you’re not lying…I saw it with my own eyes…but…saying you’re Gods?”
“Come with me” Zac smiled
“Where to now?”
“Council”
He led the way and she followed

Zac and Kristen headed to the third floor; this floor was designed differently. Once they up the stairs, there was a set of double doors on either side, the one set of double doors was opened and a passage was seen. The other set of doors wasn't. There were lights along the roof and on the walls. “What’s on this floor?” Kristen asked
“My brothers and my bedrooms can be found along the passage, mine is at the end of it whilst H and Phils are across each other” Zac gestured to the open doors, “and on this end is the council room”, he gestured to the closed doors. He walked to council room doors and opened them, she followed him in and joined everyone else
The room was simple and elegant and had a lot of windows fixed higher up on the walls- there was only a grand table with chairs all around it in the middle of the room. All the seats, except one at the head of the table were taken. “That’s where I sit, but you’re welcome to take it” Zac smiled
As Kristen made her way to the seat, she noticed the arrangement- to the right of Zac’s place sat Phillip and to the left, sat Henry, Haley sat at the other head of the table with her back to the door
“Zac told me that all of you are Gods”, Kristen noticed Ashley raise an eyebrow at her, “and Goddesses, sorry”
“You don’t believe him?” Haley asked
“I…don’t know”
“Understandable” Havier shrugged
“I don’t mean to come across as rude…and I’m not saying you’re lying…oh man” Kristen mumbled
She stayed quiet, lost in thought and Antonio laughed
“That’s not a stupid request at all” Antonio said to her
“What do you mean…” Kristen asked
“Antonio here, can read minds” Zac smiled, “One of his many gifts”
Kristen went red, “It’s just that I really don’t know what to say”
“I removed your compulsion, so replay the events that happened and talk about that” Zac said
