Chapter 6: unknown to the known

Melody got back to Artemis, went in, and then changed to her human form.

"Hey Nice, wake up we're back."

No answer. She brought him back to his room and opened the door.

"Ok when you get up let's talk ok." As she sat him down

"Why did you help me back then?" As he looked at her

"Well, it looked like you wanted some help so I helped you."

"Can you keep a secret?"

"Yes, why?"

"I'm going to tell you a bit of my story and you can't tell anyone about this. Aak already knows, his is almost like mine but a bit different."

"Ok, I'll do the best I can."

"Here goes." Nice said as he started telling her about himself

"So does that mean Mars's father could be Jin's twin brother but why did you wait to say anything?"

"I didn't know what you were going to say."

She laughed. "Is that what you were afraid of? It didn't matter, I would still let you stay here."

"But now what will the others think?"

"That can wait, take one step at a time. But currently, your wounds were healed by Lucifer and his sister so you don't have to worry about bleeding."

"So we are waiting on Mars and his father now."

"Yes."

With Mars and Glen.

"So what has "work" been doing for you all these years?"

"I'm done with that place that is why those two were here."

"So! Do you mind even telling me why he has your stuff!" It echoed throughout the empty building

"Mars I gave it to him so he could find you."

"You should be glad that both him and Nice came and saved you."

"Mars, don't be mad at him." Aak said as he looked at them

"Aak you're awake."

"Why? He left after my mother died but at least I had someone else to take care of me after he was gone."

"Your grandmother, I know we talked a few times."

"But you didn't come to visit or anything."

"I couldn't because it was too dangerous."

"Whatever we're done talking." Mars said as he walked away

"Wait." As Aak tried to jump up but all he could do was reach his hand out

"Mars, I'm sorry I couldn't be there." Glen said as he came over and picked Aak up

"Glen?"

"Don't worry we can leave after everything is done."

"But." Aak whispered

Then the taxi came back.

"Come on, it's time to go." As Mars got in

They got into the taxi as well and headed back to Artemis.

When they got there and got out

"Hey, you guys made it." Kai said as he walked over to them

"So what's happening?" Mars asked

"Nice wants to talk to Glen."

"Why does he want to talk to me?" As he let Aak down

Melody just shrugs. "Don't know."

"Ok, well lead the way."

They both went to Nice's room.

"Hey, Nice we're here." As she opened the door

"Ok come in and close the door."

"What did you want to talk about?" Glen asked as the door closed

"Jin, did you know him?"

"Yes. He was my twin brother."

"Did you know what he was doing while you two were apart?"

"Sort of I knew he was taking care of something."

"Well let me fill in the blanks for you. Jin was taking care of me when we escaped the first tier."

"So he's the one Jin told me he was taking care of." Glen thought

"He took care of me for the next few days then they came and found us, Jin had died that day. I won't ever forgive them for what happened."

"My brother was talking about you when we last talked. He somewhat talked about how he saved a boy and that he's taking care of him and that he will treat him like his own son because you see he never dated any woman. But you see you're not what I thought you were."

"What do you mean?"

"My ability is to see the auras of other people. Yours is all over the place."

"What do you mean?" Melody asked

"When we talk about my brother it's blue which is sadness. There are other ones but that one points out more. But look at it this way, you are cousins both you and Mars."

"Great." Nice said as he rolled his eyes

"Well, who knew? I always wondered why you two worked so well together."

"Mind not telling Mars that we are cousins and that all this just stays between us."

"Ok but at some point, you have to let everyone know."

"I know but let's get going." As Nice got up

They walked out and met up with the other four.

"Is it true!" Aak said as he came over to Nice

"Um?"

"His ears." Melody whispered

"Keep it a secret for now ok."

"Okay!" As he nodded his head

"What were you guys talking about?" Kai asked as he walked over

"For right now it's a secret."

"By the amount of secrets he's got you could make a book."

"Ok come on now back to work we have more information on where Justin is waiting."

"Yeah in the first tier."

"So we're going to wait a while before we do anything else. We aren't ready to do anything."

"We need to finish this now, we can't wait."

"Mars I know but we don't know if they are working with the first tier or not."

"Fine." As Mars walked off

"It's been a long day, let's get some rest." As Nice walked away

"Ok?"

"We need to get out of here and get ready for tomorrow." As Lucifer pulled Kai out the door

"Hey, I can walk by myself!" As the door closed

"Well Glen and Aak you both can stay here and we can figure out what to do tomorrow."

"You know what we're doing tomorrow Melody."

"I know but we need to form a plan first then go from there."

"Go on you two, we can discuss more tomorrow and get rid of the first-tier and stop all this."

The next day they all gathered.

"Justin blocked himself in his own little area of the first tier that will cause his downfall."

"At least we have something to go by." Melody said as she looked over at Nice

"Well, when do we get started?" Nice asked

"Let's get ready and head out." Melody said as she turned around and walked out of the room

"See you in a bit." Lucifer said as he followed

"Well, man seems like we're reaching the end." Kai said as he looked at Nice and walked away grabbing a backpack

"We'll meet you there." As Glen and Aak walked out

"My question is why did the first-tier send us on this mission if they are the one we are looking for?" Mars asked

"We won't know till we go and find out." As Nice got up and walked out

"Slowly getting this done." As he walked out and closed the door
