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

19-The Marker

After a while, the burning sensation faded away. Instead the remnants were simply fear, anxiety and depression.

"I thought that was it." Muttered Jess tiredly. "I thought we were dying-"

"We were dying." Said Lexi. "She's near. It just makes sense."

"We should go sleep." Distracted Kai. He yawned.

"On the floor?" Asked Lexi sarcastically, as she grazed the cold ground with her hand.

"Oh I'm sorry. Do we have a chateau?" Bitched I, sarcastically back.

"Ugh. Fine." Snapped Lexi, as she laid on her back. You'd think it would be hard considering the condition yet they all went to sleep relatively quickly. We were weak. I personally felt dizzy so I couldn't sleep yet the others slept instantaneously. They did wake up in the middle of the night a few times though.

Kai started leaking. Not that type- no not that type either you dirty, minded pig.

It was like sweat but pure water started oozing out of him. Another effect of the weird power dynamic.

Lexi's body on the other hand started producing static. Therefore she had to sleep away from others. The fizzing noise was loud so they kept waking up, during the night.

The purple shadow that came from the outside helped them sleep though- it felt warm and homely.

I started glowing. Like a glow stick, my body shined orange. I was exhausted so I couldn't do anything but I noticed the ray of light coming from me.

If Methaya was coming-we all are done for. She wouldn't have to battle us for long. She managed to wipe out our entire army, back at home. Her and her magical beings.

Yet there was something bothering me.
Maybe it was the fact that, at least we knew that Methaya was one of my mother's maids. However the marker's identity was unknown. We didn't know who.
I think what was burning inside me the most, had to be the need for vengeance.

Methaya killed my mother and now her and her little prodigy was coming after me. Coming after us.

I got up on my butt. As I looked around, I could obviously tell that they were stifling around in their sleep, meaning that they were like halfway asleep. Like when you're dreaming but you can also hear your surroundings.

"Guys?" I called. Kai turned around first and rubbed his eyes. He shoved Stiles who was cuddling him, which woke him up. Jess also got up- she was a light sleeper. Lexi, on the other hand, she was a deep sleeper. Jess had to kick her to wake her up.

Lexi didn't say anything back to our surprise. She was quite docile. "Hey. You stopped glowing!" She said laughingly.

"Yeah." I said. "That happened around an hour ago."

"You haven't slept at all?" Asked Stiles surprisingly, in a yawn.

"What's up?" Questioned Kai compassionately.

"Im sick of feeling helpless." I answered.
What are we going to do, when Methaya comes? Sleep? No! We can't just sit here, waiting for the clock to strike death."

"Well what do you propose we do?" Snapped Lexi, staring me up and down. I knew this whole peaceful bullshit wouldn't last.

"Personally this all started because of the marker. If we find out who the marker is. They can lead us to Methaya." I denounced.

"Well how are we going to find them?" Asked Jess.

"I have an idea but you're going to say no." I predicted.
