C315: Thrust with Dagger

Kish won a trip for a famous lake drive that was famous on television. Kish earned this habbit of joining every raffle draw on it and for the tenth time he once again won.

"This is known as the lake guarded by bonsai forest." Agsus stated.

"I saw the clips from the internet but it's more breathtaking in reality." Taffy announced mesmerised.

"Yep, No need to twinkle." Fur commented.

Urchin smiled and suddenly professed with a sentimental tone.

"This lake felt like the heart of creation."

Ole stood beside him and pat his shoulder.

"Don't get poetic young man."

"Right how about helping us on the baggages!" Ain complained.

"Yeah. You heared the old man. Seriously I hope you find a woman that will put up with that complaining!" Saga shouted back.

Ain just scoffed at Saga at the triplets followed behind them. Kahieli heared a tint voice. It was like a song being played. He leaned toward where it's coming from and found it from Taffy's bag.

"Taffy, Your phone is ringing!" Kahieli informed.

"No, I have my phone here with me." He replied.

"There is this string like sound coming from your bag." Kahieli pointed.

Taffy marched toward where Kahieli stood and examined the source. Taffy was surprised to see the small pocket music box that was given by his sister.

"Strange, sister said that this is a charm to detect evil beings. This song is playing." Taffy muttured.

Fur stared at the music box and called Agsus.

"This is the item we saw on the internet. It's famous. I envy you for having one." Agsus voiced out like a girl.

"Sister got paranoid after the incident and collected this charms. She had tons in our house. She won't let me out of the gate without carrying one." Taffy complained.

"Yeah, it even says that it's like a compass. It leads you to where the source would be." Fur explained.

"That can't be.." Taffy reasoned out. Kahieli grabbed the music box and raised it on air. He waved it as if he was looking for a signal. The music box suddenly got louder and faster. The gang exchange glances till it explode.

"Does that mean the whole area is hosted by entities?" Selah asked politely to break the silence.

"How about we gain more information before diving?" Sycamore raised.

Kish checked them in to the small wooden cottage house. It was good for all of them. The youth worked as one to gather some information while the older men stayed to tuck in and prepare for meal. Agsus and Taffy set up their equipment as the spy earing cameras were all working.

"I bet you got used to this." Agsus stated.

"Yeah, it's good to use this skills in extraordinary way. Like paranormal investigations. We should start to open a business about it." Taffy suggested.

"You already got your hand full remember?" Agsus replied. They moved to the kitchen to help Fur and Kish after pressing the alarm.

Selah suddenly recieved a lot of flowers and chocolate. Ole and Saga were walking side by side as they chat. Cherith kept glancing at Saga. His line had him hanging, what was it that he did not understand. Ole got her eyes got poke by a thin stem from one of the bonsai tree when she sat down to adore it. Saga got closer with Ole blew on her eyes. Cherith felt a strong needle of jealousy arising from his chest. Cherith blinked his glare pm sight. He is not a slow poke. He now understand what Saga meant. Cherith averted his gaze from the two as he paced toward Urchin. Their interview only lead to one tale.

"All the people say that there is a woman living underneath the lake and was drowning handsome men." Nimrod explained as he cleaned his ears.

"Yeah. They also described one feature. Blue moon eyes and spring like hair. It was one with the water is what they say." Selah added.

Cherith remained silent as his mind and view got glued at Ole and Saga. He knew it all along that is why he burried it deep within his heart but for someone to point it out for him. It hurted his ego. Cherith tried to avoid Ole all day that even Urchin noticed his unusual behavior.

"Are you still sensitive due to your pants getting wet?" Urchin teased.

"No." Cherith shortly replied.

"Then what is it? I can tell that your avoiding Ole all day." Urchin notified.

"No. I was just having some motion sickness that's all. Besides Saga can have his own joy." Cherith winked trying to hide the twist within his disapproving heart.

Kahieli felt like his body was getting damp. He tried to hold on his area but his hand went through. He started to feel his breath getting trapped in his lungs. The water entered his house. His eyes were getting sore from the amount of liquid gliding in his retina. He raised his hand for help but no one was there to yank him out. He started to call out his father and mother. He was awaken by his siblings who looked worried in their sleep wear.

"Are you alright?" Sycamore asked.

Kahieli nodded but Nimrod stared at his face.

Kahieli knew it won't ease his brothers so he muttured.

"I just had a bad dream. That's all." Kahieli assured.

Sycamore and Nimrod got convinced the went back to sleep as Kahieli stared at the cieling. It's been long since he last called his father and mother for help. His eyes sculped their faces. It brought him back to the reality that their card were completed and Kennan already handed it back. Their aim, mission and goal shifted. He can't be bound by his prejudice of their current era.

Ole heared a knock from her window side only to see Cherith. His wings were spread and wrist got healed. Ole opened her window and allowed him in as she teased.

"What's with you, flying like a bat at night."

Cherith just stared at her in silence. His eyes showed yearning as the moon mirrored his heart.
