The Slitherine

Chapter Nine

(Present)

(Stephanie walked towards Daniel's apartment, wondering about Cole's perspective on being caught. And, once Daniel let her in, asked the question.)

Cole: *sigh* "Well, it was good...and bad of course."

Stephanie: "How could it've been good?"

Cole: "I met someone. He said he was one of our ancestors."

Xavier: "Korva?"

Cole: "How did you know?"

Xavier: "I'm probably the only person that bothers to read out parent's old books anymore."

Daniel: "Did he mention two others?"

Cole: "He did, why'd you ask?"

Daniel: "They're the figments of light and darkness."

Stephanie: "I thought we were that..."

?: "No you're not."

Xavier: "Who's there?!"

?: "Where...? Technically, I'm nowhere where you are."

Cole: "Are you..?"

?: "No. I'm not Secra and Scarra."

Secra+Scarra: "And how did you know our names?"

?: "I won't say.. just yet..."

Daniel: (Coward)

?: (I'm no coward Daniel, nor are any of you, that... would only be Calem)

Daniel: (Who is-)

?: (You'll find out, in all due time...)

(Meanwhile, in the Darkness dimension)

?: "Uh, Calem? W-where are we?..."

Calem: "Why are you scared? It's only the dark, you don't even hate it."

?: "Yeah, but... I'm scared of being alone..."

Calem: "Tch, loneliness? You're not even alone Sky!"

Sky: "Still something's here... I can feel it."
