Chapter 31: Interrogation of a Double Agent

They ended up tying Jickallyn to a chair. She looked scared and confused.
"What's going on?" Jickallyn screamed.
"We are interrogating the mole." Lyllan coldly replied.
"But I'm not the mole." Jickallyn protested, "Leon Oskaur, you believe me, right?"
Leon Oskaur normally warm ocean eyes had frozen over. "No." Leon Oskaur coldly replied.
"Why not?" Jickallyn yelled, anger brewing in her voice.
Leon Oskaur smirked, a cold, unfeeling smirk. "Simply because it all makes sense." Leon Oskaur explained, "Everything went wrong when you were around. But when we were with your sister nothing happened until we started to leave."
"That was me..." Jickallyn began.
A slap from Lyllan shut her up. She rolled her head. Her face shifted. Innocence had been replaced by anger and resentment. Her face formed a twisted smile.
"Fine you caught me. What are you going to do about it?" Jickallyn cockily said.
"How about we see what is going on in your mind?" Lyllan shoot back, gesturing for someone to go get something. Grenta ran to go to the first earth person's hut. She came back with a vial that was a bright pink liquid.
Lyllan chugged the liquid and stared to Jickallyn's very soul. Jickallyn seemed unfazed. When Lyllan was done she chuckled to herself. Jickallyn seemed
a bit surprised, but kept her composure.
Lyllan turned to her. "Anything you want to tell the group?" Lyllan asked, she was practically to tears with how much she was laughing.
"What would have to tell?" Jickallyn slyly responded.
Lyllan was practically on the floor laughing. I was kinda getting scared, what did she find out?
When Lyllan could compose herself, she got in Jickallyn's face. They were so close that their noses touch. I was ready to pull Lyllan off of Jickallyn.
Lyllan then whisper shouted, "How about you are the reason that we are all stuck here? Maybe that's a good starter."
I heard someone shout, "What do you mean?"
Lyllan turned towards the crowd. "Well, who we thought was a mole, was so much more." Lyllan was explained, "This little thing is in fact the true leader behind this world. Our Leader is just a pawn."
An audible gasp echoed through the crowd. I thought that I heard someone faint.
Jickallyn's face paled to a ghostly white. "How did you know that?" She whispered in fear, "There is no such potion that can allow you to read minds."
Lyllan cried triumphantly in Jickallyn's face, "Who said that is was the potion?"
Jickallyn looked very confused at Lyllan. "Then how did you find out?" Jickallyn asked, like she wasn't be interrogated.
Lyllan circled Jickallyn like a predator to their prey. Her low laugh was both creepy and mysterious. Lyllan then looked her in the eye. "How did you think I got here?" Lyllan whispered in her ear. 
A look of confusion seeped into realization. "But who...?" Jickallyn asked, looking at the crowd. Her eyes rested on me. Realization and horror painted her face.
Lyllan followed her gaze and turned back to her with a twisted smile. "What do you think bought me back from the dead?" Lyllan calmly asked.
Jickallyn looked at me with a icy glare. "I think that she should know." Jickallyn responded, nodding towards me.
All the eyes turned to me. I bet that I looked like a bright red tomato. Suddenly I heard a few gasps. They were pointing at me and yelled inaudibly. I turned to Leon Oskaur and Johnson. They looked at me in shock. Johnson was able to recover quickly.
"I think you should look in a mirror." Johnson suggested.
I turned to run to the bathroom but the boy with icy blue eyes was in my way. He held in his young hands a mirror. The mirror couldn't be bigger then a dinner plate but it would have to do.
I pulled the mirror up to my face. I expected to she Senkina's chocolate brown eyes staring back at her. Instead a pair of bright green eyes stared back. The green eyes were connected to a face that was a shade or two darker then I thought I would see. The face was framed by reddish brown hair.
I turned to Lyllan. She didn't look the least bit surprised. Jickallyn looked surprised, like she wasn't sure. "Well that proves my theory." Jickallyn loudly stated.
Lyllan without end looking at her gave her a good backhanded slap. Lyllan looked out at the crowd. "I will explain what is going on with Senkina." Lyllan began, "So there is a spell that allows a living person to switch with a dead person. Senkina performed the spell to bring me back. So this person is not actually Senkina. This is her twin sister."
The crowd whispered amongst themselves. Honestly, I didn't care as long as they didn't insult my sister. I sparked an idea and turned to Lyllan and Jickallyn.
"I think that we should play a little game." I suggested. Both Lyllan and Jickallyn were intrigued.
"What do you mean?" Lyllan asked, thinking about what I could do.
"It's a simple game each of you gets a question and the other gets one guess. If you get it right the other must do what you say if you both get the question right then you cancel each other out." I explained the game.
Jickallyn has a evil grin on her face. "I accept." She responded quickly. Lyllan was a bit more hesitant, but eventually she nodded in approval.
"Okay," I responded and gestured to Lyllan, "Lyllan ask first."
Lyllan turned to Jickallyn and asked, "When Senkina died where did her power go?"
Jickallyn blurted out, "That's child's play. Senkina's power is in her now. This is because the power is in the body."
I made a condescending clicking noise with my tongue. Jickallyn looked at me, very confused. I answered her unasked question.
"No you are incorrect." I explained, "You see, power is not in the body but in the spirit of someone. So Senkina's power is not with me. It is with Lyllan, that is the reason she could sniff you out."
The shock on her face was priceless. I wish that I had a camera. She shook her head and proclaimed, "It's my turn."
Lyllan turned to her, paying her best attention. Jickallyn sneered then asked, "What is her name?"
Lyllan turned back to me and was thinking hard. I mentally told her my name, repeating it constantly.
Lyllan raised her head in understanding and turned back to Jickallyn. "The answer is simple. Her name is Benevolence." Lyllan answered confidently and added on, "If you knew Senkina's true powers then that would have been a dumb question."
If I thought the shock on Jickallyn was great the first time. Then the second time was a thousand times better.
"What is Senkina's power?" Jickallyn gasped.
Lyllan got up in her face and tapped her nose. "That is for me to know and you to wonder about."
