Sorry, it took me awhile to update, but here is the next chapter.
Sam
I hear a knock at my door, and wonder who could be knocking at my door like at a time like this. Of course I don't know the time, but it has been dark for a long time, so I'm gonna guess it's around midnight. Astrid would probably know if she was here, that brings back to many painful memories, so I decide to turn my attention back to the door. I go downstairs, careful to not wake up Dekka, who I share a boathouse with. Unfortunately no such luck. "Who's knocking on the door?" she asked as she yawns. "I don't know." I reply. The knock comes again, but this time louder and harder. 'I'm coming." I practically yell.
I go to the door, with Dekka right behind me and open it up a little and peak through the crack. I'm surprise to see who's on the other side of the door that I back up and step on Dekka. "Ow." she says. "Sorry" I say half-heartedly. I close the door, and put my back against it, as if the thing on the other side of the door will kill us if I don't, and he just might. "Who is it?" Dekka ask. "It's Caine." I say blankly.
Instead of opening the door I talk loud enough so that he can hear me. "What do you want Caine?" "I need to talk to you. It's something very important." I hear him say. "If it's about Diana, she came over here on her own will, I didn't force or ask her to." I say "It's … It's not about her." I hear something in his voice when he says that, but I just can't put my finger on it. "Then what is it." I say, thinking it was too late to be having long conversations with a person who hates you.
"Let me in and I'll tell you." "How do I know, you won't kill me." I reply self-cautiously. Noticing for the first time Dekka, hasn't said anything yet, but this was how she usually acted like now, ever since after the time she was about to die from those bugs.
"You don't." I can practically see him smirking when he says that. I unlock the door and open it, stepping aside to let him through. "Ok now you are in, so spill, I don't have all night." "New people have come to Perido Beach and two of them appear to be adults." I freeze and notice Dekka has too. "Maybe it's just an illusion, the Gaiphage is trying to play on us." I reply. "No, they are real all right and I need your help," he says "and Diana." he says in a whisper.
Why would he need Diana, then it clicks, he probably wants her to "read" there powers. "Ok I'll come and I'll bring her too, we might as well bring Toto, just in case they lie. But first I have to sleep, you're welcome to stay on the couch, but don't try anything shady." Dekka and I go back upstairs to our bedrooms as Caine lies on the couch, without another word. Before I fall asleep, the last thought that goes through my head is that Wow, who would have thought Caine would ask ME for help. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
I know another short chapter, but I promise to make it longer in the next chapters.
