Author's Note: Welcome to the LAST Alexa Night fanfic. I hope you enjoy it.
Ella and Rose, I feel so bad for you. I have absolutely no clue what Fludo is, but if it's anything like Simien…
Welcome to My Side of the River
Sonya
Kate's POV
"Where is it?" I growled in frustration.
It, in this case, it a book. A book that Kaila sent me to the library to get. She said it had a brown cover.
Apparently, thousands of books had a brown cover. And they all looked the same.
"Looking for this?" A soft voice from behind me questioned. I whirled, ready to fight off the intruder.
But it was Sil. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" I whisper-yelled at him.
He grinned. "Maybe…" I whacked his arm for that one.
"Peace offering?" He asked. And in his hands, like magic, appeared the book.
I gaped at him. "How… what…" I spluttered. "I spent all afternoon looking for that! How did you find it in five minutes?!"
"Because I'm amazing." His smile was devilish. I rolled my eyes.
"Keep telling yourself that. Now, we have to bring this book to Kaila." I spun around, and began to walk towards the exit.
But something stopped me. Princess Natalia entered the room. She was visiting us currently. Now, normally I would just walk past without a second glance. But this is Princess Natalia we're talking about. The one who wouldn't read to save her life.
In Kate-Speak, it means that she was up to something.
I glanced at Sil. He looked back at me, nodding discreetly. I'll follow her. Meet you in the garden. Then, he disappeared, presumably to follow her.
Barely a minute later, Sil reappeared in the garden. "Why…" I started to ask, then saw the expression on his face.
She headed straight towards the secret library. No one but me and Dad knows about it! Even though we'll need Kaila to be sure, it looked like she was communicating with someone without words. Not like we do.
She was communicating as though… as though she was using the Forbidden Scrolls.
