Eves

Why are there so many happenings in our family secret?

Well, if only they knew.

I rolled my eyes at the thought and followed what Illa ordered. I guess this will be hell. I pulled the gun on the hidden pocket under my dress and tried to run as fast as I could when I heard Iver's command. Good thing I'm used to running with my heels on. I glanced on my side, it's Elys, I can see that she's struggling with her stilletos so I stopped.

"Hey, brat." I called the attention of the bratinella.

"What? We're in danger and you managed to stop running?" I rolled my eyes as I remove her stilletos and threw it away somewhere in the woods.

"What the fuck? That's my most favori–" I cut her off and run again towards the bushes so we can hide, she did the same.

I smirked, now she's not struggling to run with her barefoot. Few minutes of running towards nowhere and suddenly Aché stopped.

"Are we really gonna run here forever? It seems like we have nowhere to go. I'm tired." He breathed heavily while his hands were on his knees.

I looked around, and noticed that someone's missing... No, two of my siblings are missing!

"Have you guys seen Asha and Azce?" I tried to look back, maybe they just ran a little bit slow. But there's no hint of their shadows came.

"Where are they?!" Iver exclaimed. No one answered.

"Should we go back?" Eiah asked in confusion.

"No, maybe someone got them. It will be a real danger if all of us will go back. Let's try to find somewhere to hide." I explained calmly.

I scanned the surroundings, it seems like there's no one around. I can't even hear any noise aside from my siblings' heavy breathing. I walked straight ahead and I heard Aché cursed, but still, they followed my lead.

Few minutes of walking and we found an unfinished house. It's odd. Why would there be an unfinished house in this kind of place? I looked at my siblings, they're really tired from running and walking.

"Let's stay here for awhile. Keep your guns with you in case something happened." Illa commanded. I hid my gun on my hidden pocket and followed my siblings inside.

The house is empty. There are no pillars. Nada. Nothing. It's literally empty. It's more like a factory with nothing inside. I grabbed my bag from Urse and tried to open my phone. It sucks, even the battery life of our phone were absorbed. I wonder what Ichi is doing right now, I just hope there's no one around him because I don't want to be busy with something else after this fucking mess.

"Guys! Come here!!!" Iris shouted. We gathered around her and saw a three-dimensional image produced by an interference pattern from Iris' phone.

"It's a hologram. Look, it's a video call." Iver mentioned.

We gazed at Iris' phone. It took a few seconds when someone appeared in the hologram.

"Is that a nymph?" Eiah asked while looking at the hologram. I guess it is, judging from its pointy ears, long blonde hair and I can tell that it's pretty small.

"It is. It looks like a friend of mine." Exie almost whispered.

The nymph suddenly turned into a human like form. "Nah, it's a shapeshifter." Eura said.

"U-huh. Is that the reason why we encountered wolves earlier? The people in here are shapeshifters?" Eros asked in confusion.

"Hush, he's already talking." Illa said with an authority in her voice.

"I'll get straight to the point. I have your sisters..." He gazed to camera to Asha and Azce. "If you still want to see them alive, go ahead and save them here. I'll put the exact area of this place to Iver's GPS." The guy chuckled annoyingly.

"How? The battery life of our phone is absorbed." I asked, creasing my forehead.

"Don't go here! Azce and I will be fine. We got this. Go straight to the dome's boundary so you can regain your powers." I heard Asha's shouting from the background.

The hologram suddenly disappeared. I saw Iver's phone glowed.

"My phone has now a battery life. But it's stuck with Maps." Iver explained. Oh, so that's what the guy was talking about.

"I don't think we need to go there. I trust Asha and Azce." I said, trying to convince the others.

"Are you insane? We need to save them!" I can sense the anger from Isla's voice.

"Yeah, we need to save them." Urse agreed.

Isla is very determined. Before I could even convince them to stay here, Isla grabbed Iver and Urse, "We're going there. Right now." She pulled the trigger of her gun and her anger is evident in her eyes.
