W.E.L.F.S: The Snake's Eye (COMPLETED)

15-Multifaceted

"Guys Please!" He pleaded, begging for help.
"THERES SOMEONE IN HERE WITH ME!"

Everything started off okay. It was a plan. We had one. How were we supposed to know- that everything would go wrong?
————————
3 hours before:

The anxiety consumed us whole. You could taste the fear- fall victim to it, even.
"Okay so-what does this mean then, for us?" I replied cautiously.

Lexi looked at me. Gently swiping her hair to the left. "It means-" She sighed.
"It means Methaya has a literal gateway to our world, which isn't very far by the way. Oh yeah-
Also we're marked together meaning that if one of us were to die, which we know is going to happen- we're all going to die." Laughed Lexi manically. "Ha ha ah ha."

"Why would this Methaya person want to kill us? Maybe she's moved on? Maybe she's dead?" Said Stiles innocently.

"Stiles we've heard that story a million times by Carol. It's the one story she'll tell us. The one about how Methaya killed our parents to seize the throne. We're the only ones left. Without us- she will have no threat." Scolded Jess. "And also she's not dead because she's a mystical being like us, who I'm assuming cannot age because she sold her human soul to become well that- I don't even know if she can be killed."

I looked at Kai, who was currently sitting down- head down- cradling it with his hands.
"Kai- what do you think?" I asked. "What do we do?"

He looked up. He then continued being silent.

Jess answered tiredly. "Guys- we can't keep doing this. We have to speak to Aunt Carol."

Lexi scrunched her eyes. "Are you stupid?"
She got up to her face-"No! We will not do that." Realising the short length between Jess and herself, she sighed and walked back. 'Is it just me or is Aunt Carol very suspicious?"

"I know what you mean." Kai replied dismally.
"There's something going on. She's not telling us everything. The full picture."

Stiles looked at Kai. Tilted his head like a curious puppy, "What do you mean?"

"Well for starters, she lied about her powers." Said Jess.

"She's always so suspicious. Never wants anyone to come over." Bitched Lexi.

"Yeah now that I think about it, she never speaks about our father or mother." Slandered Kai

I got up. Rolled my eyes. "Guys. Enough!" They all went from bitter to even more sour.

"You all are so quick to critique, yet you can't praise when needed. Talk about narcissism. Yeah granted- she hasn't been the most truthful, but could it be, that she was only protecting us. Hm? Yeah exactly. Silent. She has been protecting us, since the beginning: She housed us, gave us an identity, sided with us and took place of our mother." I said.
"So if you're judging her for a mistake- why don't you judge yourself? Because seriously none of us are innocent. All of us.- have at least made one mistake-so shush."

They all looked guilty.

"Fine." Said Lexi firstly. "We'll tell her. Everything." She said- not so convincingly.

So we did. We walked to her room collectively and woke her up. She was silent for most of it.
We told Aunt Carol what had happened. About everything. Everything after the prediction: The rift opening up, the dreams, the book, the maps, the mark. Everything.

I expected a rise out of her. Expected her to get angry. God I wish she was angry.
Yet she didn't seem that worried. More like sad. I questioned her-yet she just shirked it off.
