1106 Words
Colton's POV
"Hey, Colton. Where did you go we are looking for you for hours!" Lex said as we, Allyson, enter the castle.
"Oh, we go to headquarters at town city to pass my transfer," I answered him.
"Oh, why didn't you tell us a while ago so we didn't lose our way to that forbidden corridor," Alex said in frustration.
"What? What forbidden corridors." I ask curiously.
"Let us go to the dining hall now to have our dinner." Suddenly, Elliot cut them to speak, and he looks at the twins with piercing eyes. The twin shuts their mouth.
"What happened?" Allyson asked.
"Nothing," Elliot said indifferently. Allyson sigh deeply. I think deeply. I look to Elliot suspiciously and the twin mind linking me.
"We will tell you later about that three forbidden corridors, gamma," Lex said. I nod silently.
"Ok, guys let us go to the dining hall and eat," Allyson said cheerfully to make the mood light.
********
At the dining hall, Alice cheerfully chats about childhood of Allyson.
"Grandma, you always telling that story," Allyson complain. Alice told us how rascal is Allyson when he was young. Running to one of the trees to hide from the butler whom he made prank, but the tree where he is climbing has a green snake that coiled at the branch where he lean on it. He heard a hissing sound that made him realize that it was not a branch but a snake. Frightened he lose his balance and fall. We laughed at the story while Allyson reddened his face. Even the butler smile and shook his shoulders to hear the story.
The dinner was over and we were on the veranda of the castle taking the beautiful scenery of the night sky that filled with stars and the moon is shining brightly. The castle is surrounded by a forest.
We are talking about our encounter with the vampire with the twin. They couldn't believe it when they learned that I lost consciousness.
"You lost your consciousness, Colt?" Lex said. His eyes grow wide. I nod.
"Yeah, that vicious vampire is so strong. He has a special ability. He hit me with his invincible power." I said.
"Oh, that vampire is so strong that he can do that to you," Alex says.
"Why do you say so?" Allyson asks.
"Because Colton is a gamma of our pack. He is one of the strongest in our pack, so hitting him knock off by that vampire is unusual to hear." Lex said.
"Oh," Allyson says.
"Yes."
"Good thing that the she-vamp appeared to save you all," Lex added.
"Isn't that the she-vamp was the one you saw fighting with the fledgling?" Colton asked.
"I think so, Colt," Alex said.
"The vampire is in her hand. We should find her or meet up to get information. I know she had." Colton said.
"We agree, gamma," Alex says.
"So what we are gonna do then?"
"We will scout their pack, Colt. We will find a chance to talk to the vampire and the pack." Lex suggests.
"Why you will scout when you can talk about their leader and says your intention. In your ideas, your lives will be in danger. They might think that you are enemies." Allyson said. We look at each other. He is right.
"That made sense. You two get me an appointment to their Alpha." Colton said.
"Yes, Gamma," the twin said. We saw the housekeeper walking towards us and bowing down her head.
"Excuse me. Sir Allyson, your grandmother call you." The housekeeper says.
"Oh! Where she is?" Allyson asks
"She is in her bedroom." She replies.
"Ok. Excuse me." Allyson excuse himself and go out with the housekeeper. We look at each other.
"Colton let us go to our bedroom. We have something important to tell you. We should not discuss this here. Walls have eyes and ears." Lex said.
"I agree with you. Let's go."
We go to the Twin's bedroom. As Alex closed the door, I ask them hastily.
"What is it you discovered?" I said.
"Here's the thing. When we wake up later this noon, we were looking for you but we don't find you or Allyson. We asked the housekeepers where you did go but they didn't know where you are. So we continue to look for you at least Allyson but we lost our way." Lex starts.
"Yes, we lost our way, gamma," Alex said.
"Then we sat on the ground to rest because we are tired. In front of us, there are three corridors. We don't remember we came from among the three corridors so we don't know which one is the right exit. Then Alex stood and look at the wall at our back." Lex continued.
"Yes, and this wall, gamma is not a wall. It's a big door with intricate designs of vines and flowers." As Alex continued the story.
"So where is the mystery in your story?" I asked them.
"The mystery is that at the top. of that door, two wolves are facing each other like howling, above is the moon. Seems like they howling to the moon goddess." Alex said slowly each word. I was surprised at what he said
"Really? Howling wolves to the moon?" I asked with my eyes wide. They nod at me with grins.
"So, did you open the door?" I asked
"Gamma, I will do it but Elliot came," Alex said.
"We are afraid of the way he looks at us. He was emitting strong energy that our wolves whimpered. That is strange isn't it?" Alex says.
"Oh, yes, it's strange," I said. Rubbing my fingers on my chin. I take quite some time.
"Did you remember how to go back on that three corridors?" I ask them after a moment.
"No, I don't remember?" Lex said.
"How did it happen? You are the best in memories especially in the direction besides being a tracker?" I ask in shock.
"I think, gamma, that place has a spell. I smell it." Alex said. The two of us look at him.
"A spell?" I asked.
"Yeah, gamma. But don't worry I used a trick so we can go back there." Alex grinning. My face lighted when I heard him.
"Oh, good work, Alex!"
"So, gamma, when we will go there?" Alex asks.
"Tonight. When everybody sleeps."
"Ok, let us be careful then. That place has a spell that might kill us." Lex said.
"Ok," I said. Then I went out of their room to go to my room to rest while will waiting to execute our plan tonight.
