The Other World

Chapter 30: Last Letters And Coded Messages

I continued to look at the calendar on my phone. January 10. 2 days.

I sighed. There still hasn't been any progress. Robby hasn't showed up and Danny still hasn't woken up.

Kate, Kameron, Gomin and Jemin are still trying to solve the riddle. And to make matters worse, there might just be war.

The kings and queens have been very busy having meetings. I haven't seen my parents for the past three days. They decided to talk to King Jared, the king of Dormaselor, but he won't talk to them. And none of the Maligns or Damgals have been seen anywhere. They were all at Dormaselor, no communication whatsoever.

James called me yesterday and told me the worst news. The Orb was completely red. This means we have been betrayed. And war.

Our parents won't tell us anything, so won't James's or Jordan's but we all know something is going on. Kent has been training everyone so hard. He even started training me.

I can now hold a weapon without hurting myself.

I got up and decided to take a walk. I was about to open the front door when Fany walked in.

"Oh. Hey Fany. How are you? It's been a while." I said.

"Ya. I've missed you. How are thing?" She asked, giving me a hug.

"I would say good but you know that's a lie."

"Ya." Fany didn't look her usually self. She wasn't happy and jolly. She seemed sad.

"How are you? Is everything ok?"

She sighed. "Ya I guess."

"Come on. Lets go for a walk and you'll tell me what's bothering you." I suggested.

She agreed and we walked out. It was a nice day. There was a little breeze but it was comforting.

"So. What's bothering you so much?" I asked.

"Stark."

I froze, shocked. I still haven't told anyone about how I saw Cole and Stark together. Not even Gomin.

I continued walking. "What about him?"

"He's been very distant. I don't see him much and you know we're always together."

I chuckled. "Yes you guys are inseparable ."

"But not anymore. We barely see each other. This always happens when it's someones turn to disappear. He becomes distant but never this bad. I think he blames himself."

"Why would he blame himself?"

"Because of his father."

"Oh. But that's not his fault."

"That's what I keep telling him but....he never listens."

We continued to walk in silence.

"You like him, don't you?" I asked.

"Of course I do. What kind of question is that?"

"I don't mean like him. I mean like like him."

"Oh." she said. I could see a blush starting to rise. "I don't know what your talking about."

"Oh please." I said, rolling my eyes.

"Oh who am I kidding. Of course I do."

"Haha ya. It's kind of obvious."

"It's obvious to everyone but him."
