Souls: Beginning Of The End [Book 2]

Chapter Twenty Five: A Lost Cause

Shino sat staring at Palette who was still shifting nervously where he sat. She soon sighed and stood up, "so that's it? That's all you know?" Palette slowly nodded and gulped. Shino frowned not sure of what to say. Instead, she decided to make her way back up the stairs.

Her head began to throb as she stumbled into her room. A few minutes passed by and she finally collapsed onto her bed. A surge of drowsiness mixed with pain flowed through her body as she shut her eye to rest.

Shino woke to a scratching noise at her door. Her eye shot open as she quickly sat up. The scratching noise soon stopped as she heard a thump and a few snickers. Guessing it was just Ying and Yang she laid back down.

Before she could fall asleep again a knock came. Shino groaned and slipped out of her bed. She slowly crept to the door and opened it.

Standing in the doorway was Color. Shino backed away and summoned a bone, "what the hell do you want!?" Color smirked, "sheesh kid are even allowed to say things like that? I just want to talk. How about we take this outside?" Shink frowned, "I'm not going with you." Color rolled his eyelights, "I didn't give you a choice."

Shino stalled before finally following after him. She still held the bone tightly in her hand incase he tried something. Color stayed silent and continued walking until they reached a door that led to the outside.

Shino looked around getting quite impatient, "what are you waiting for? No ones coming?" Color snickered, "you are very impatient for someone who claims to wait." Shino scoffed, "well? You wanted to talk and you're just standing around!"

A smirk formed on Colors face as he turned the door handle, "so impatient." Shino huffed and stomped after him into the yard.

Once they reached a more discrete area Shino crossed her arms, "well? What did you want to talk about?" Color smiled, "I have a proposition to make." Shino looked up at him a look of curiosity in her eye, "go on."

Geno sighed and took another sip of his coffee that was almost empty. He then continued to stare down at the many papers he had strawn across the table. So much to do with such little time. He was so sure that this would be over as soon as it began but of course he was wrong.

He rubbed his eyesocket and yawned the drowsiness finally hitting him. Though he wasn't ready to give up yet.

Geno stretched out his arms and grabbed his mug. He then walked over to the coffee pot which held dark goodness inside of it. He picked it up and poured coffee into the mug before taking another sip.

Geno perked up hearing footsteps. He turned around just in time to see Error walk in. Error stared at him for a few seconds, "yOu ShOuLd GeT sOmE sLeEp ItS aLrEaDy PaSt MiDnIgHt." Geno snorted and walked back over to the table, "you act like I haven't stayed up all night before."

Error walked over and stood next to him, "ItS nOt VeRy GoOd FoR yOu." Geno sighed, "well then why are you still up?" Error stared down at the papers not bothering to look at him as he responded, "iNk."

Geno sipped on his coffee trying to hold back a laugh. Error squinted an obvious look of confusion on his face, "wHaT tHe HeLl iS tHiS sUpPoSeD tO lEaD?" Geno looked over and shrugged, "don't know, why do you think I've been staring at it for the last five hours?"

Error sighed and pulled out a red pair of glasses. He slipped them on and looked at the papers again. Error then grumbled something and took them off again, "uSeLeSs PiEcE Of ShIt..." Geno smirked and took a sip of his coffee, "I'm surprised you haven't destroyed them yet."

Error sighed and slipped them back into his jacket, "wHaTeVeR jUsT gO tO sLeEp." Error then trudged out of the kitchen mumbling about his useless pair of glasses. Geno rolled his eyelight and began to stack the papers up so he could finally go to sleep.

After putting most of the papers back into their folder he put his mug in the sink and began to walk out of the kitchen. Geno huffed seeing that one page had managed to slip out of his grasp and now was lying on the floor. Geno picked it up and grabbed the folder again. He started to slip it in before noticing that he hadn't seen it before.

It was a sketch of a symbol. The symbol was two curvy s's which had two dots inside of them. Geno looked at it knowing that he had seen it before but he wasn't sure where.

Then it hit him like a brick. He knew where he had seen it. He immediately dropped the sketch and dashed towards the staircase. He quickly ran up them and stopped at an already open door. He quietly stepped into the room and looked around. He soon realized that the room was empty, "shit."
