Legend Begin With A Twist
Venice Preparation Academy, History Classroom– = (Location) Venice, Italy
Inside one of the classroom, filled with students who were having their final history class before their final tomorrow. Everyone would think they were normal students who are in school just to get a good education however it seem like fate was not being fair for today the lives of four individual will change forever.
A young blond boy who around 15 year old dress in blue long sleeves shirt along with white jacket and jeans and brown belt, was taking a short nap during his class and somehow it did not bother the teacher but it bother the person sitting next to him. A young dark blue-haired female who was also 15 was dress in a pink singlet, long green sleeves shirt and jeans with a brown belt, was partially listening to the teacher talking but at the same time was glancing at the person sitting beside her groaning . As she was seriously annoyed that he was sleeping during the class and the last class before the final.
While infront of them were two other students. A young brown with hint of red colour hair guy dress in long dark grey sleeves shirt and light trousers, was writing down the notes that the teacher was talking. While as the young light brown hair girl dress in dark red sleeves shirt and a dark red skirt with a white cloth tie around her waist, was apparently doing the same thing as young dark blue-haired female partially listening to the teacher and having her eye on the person sitting next to her.
Just then the bell rang and immediately the young blond boy got a shock of his life that he jump up only to hit his head on the table. "Ow…."he claims while his partner was rolling her eyes at his reaction.
"All right and that what you need to know for the final exam see you tomorrow" the teacher said and soon everyone started packing their stuffs.
"Wait…class is over?" the young blond boy asked in surprise clearly unaware he had been sleeping that long.
"Well if you count waking up to your alarm clock which is the bell then yes class is over" the young dark blue-haired female sarcastically mentions as she place her note away into her bag.
It took the young blond boy for a while to realizes his company was leaving that he immediately packs all his stuff into his brown sling bag.
"Hey Zhalia wait up!" yell the young blond boy who was running toward his company who appears to be waiting for him at the door.
"If you were much slower than that Lok I would have left you behind" she comments as both of them left the room.
"Ha…sorry but Zhalia you wouldn't have guess what I dream about…" he said only to stop when he accidentally bang into a brown hair boy wearing glasses who look completely like a nerd.
"Watch it Indi!" the brown hair boy yelled only for Lok to be laugh at by both male and female students around the area.
"Ignore them" said Zhalia who pull Lok along who just groans as he hates it when people laugh at him for just a small mistake.
"So…are you going to guess what I dreamt about?" Lok continues his conversation while Zhalia who seem to practically uninterested sigh.
"It not that hard to figure out what you dream about especially how you been watching all those Indiana Jones Movies last night" she comment that got Lok surprises she actually knew what he dreamt about.
"Wow…guess it not that hard to figure out but wait…how did you know I watching those movie last night? Did I sleep talk again?" he questions and Zhalia just stare at him blankly.
"Let get this straight Lok the last time I mention you sleep talk I was being sarcastic. Also to answer your other question just a few days ago you were ranting to me about how you just receive those movies from the mail and I figure that you started watching it last night seeing how you did fall asleep in History and Math class" she said as she took out her timetable.
"Wow…maybe you can become a detective Zhalia!" Lok comment and Zhalia just smirk.
"Flattering but you do know that will get you nowhere with me helping you study for your History exam" Zhalia said smirking knowing what Lok was trying to do.
"What? Come on Zha!" Lok protests and even using her old nickname that cause him to receive a death glare by his friend.
"What have I told you about using that name?" Zhalia spokes and Lok could have sworn he heard her hiss at him.
"Alright, alright…it slips out from my tongue!" he said while holding his hand up in defend.
"Do that again and I swear I am not going to help you with your Math final" she threated that got Lok a little worry.
"I'm sorry alright but please will you help me with my History final!" Lok begs Zhalia who did not seem to falling for anything not even his puppy dog eyes. Even if it was attempting as Zhalia try her best not to look at it before rubbing her eye due to a little stress she was getting from Lok.
"Lok you need to learn to be more independent and stop relying on me too much" Zhalia complains just as Lok frowns for a moment.
"I know how to be independent just I can't help it! They are just too…boring!" Lok argues as Zhalia sigh in responses as she rubs her forehead trying to think what do with Lok who seem acting like a ten year kid instead of a fifteen year kid.
This time it was Zhalia turn to frowns till she notice the two students that sat infront of them during History class made their separated ways. Zhalia knew Lok sort of have a crush on the girl as he practically made her sit close to that girl who was always with the guy. Whether it was behind, in front or beside them Lok never fail in choosing the right seat close to them. That Zhalia is almost embarrasses to think that for at least two to three years Lok had almost been stalking them and he bought her along for the ride. This time it was time to return the favourite to Lok.
"Alright Lok I will help you with your History Final tomorrow…" Zhalia said only to get interrupted by Lok cheering. That she had to clear her voice to get his attention.
"…ONLY if you managed to convince Miss Casterwill to teach you for tomorrow History Final" Zhalia end her deal that got Lok a little stun and shock by her little deal.
"What? Zhalia! How can you do this to me?" He claims only for Zhalia to whistle innocently that got Lok a little piss.
"Beside what the point in you helping me with my History Final when she already helps me out!" He pointed out while Zhalia shook her head as Lok forgot that Zhalia always has her reason.
"Well for once it will show if Miss Casterwill did teach you for History Final and to see if I won the bet or not when I give you a test afterward" she state as she winks at Lok who was still frowning.
"Hey where are you going?" Lok ask as he notices she was taking a different route rather than the exit.
"I have another class right now Lok if you have not forgotten I don't exactly take all the same class you do take, by the way I would catch up to Miss Casterwill if I were you" as Zhalia took her leave and Lok stoning in place realizing that the bet was on.
"Oh come on! I didn't agree to it in the first place!" he yells his complains but knew it was useless. Zhalia was long out of reach and he really need to pass his History Final so he groans and started running to find Sophie Casterwill.
Venice Preparation Academy, Astrology classroom– Venice, Italy
Zhalia finally reach to her Astrology and not a moment too soon, as the whole room was already being to be fills with students and seeing that the front row was the only one empty. She decide to sit down at the front row as she took out her book while remember the little bet she made with Lok that made her giggle for a moment. The thing she does to tease her 'little brother'.
Apparently everyone even the teacher were waiting for the bell to ring as it indicated the start or the end of the lesson but for some reason it did not ring at all. Just then a young dark brown with hint of red colour hair guy came bursting into the room grinning just as all eyes were on him.
"I hope I'm not late…since the bell has not rang yet" he pointed out just as on cue it rang that cause many of the girls to giggles that result in Zhalia rolling her eyes. However she did not expect to see the guy winking toward her direction, she ignore it thinking he was winking at someone else around her. She turn back and fold her arm waiting for the lesson to begin.
"Well…that odd something must be wrong with the bell…no matter if you be so kind now Mr. Vale to take your seat please" the astrology teacher spoke and the young brown hair with hint of red hair guy nod, proceeding to the front taking his seat. Next to Zhalia who growls to herself wondering why of all the seat, he had to sit beside her. As unlike her he had a reputation he was well-known while she was nobody.
"You're Zhalia Moon right?" he first spoke that got Zhalia a little surprise thinking he would clearly ignore her throughout the lesson.
"Who wants to know?" She plainly asks as he smirks in respond before letting out his hand for a handshake.
"Dante Vale but I'm sure you knew that" he said casually that got Zhalia a little annoying thinking he was being a little arrogant right now.
"I'm afraid to disappoint you but I don't and as much I know you like to continue with this conversation. Might I remind you we are having class now. So if you have anything better to say, say it after class thank you very much" she finishes it off sarcastically and turns her attention back to the teacher.
Dante was a little stun by her action but smile as she was playing hard to get which he found it very entertaining.
Outside of Venice Preparation Academy– Venice, Italy
Lok was apparently still on his hunt for Sophie Casterwill and his fellow schoolmates were not much help either. As they told him the wrong information or refuse to tell him where was Sophie Casterwill. Half the time Lok think that they actually do not know where was Sophie Casterwill as even if she was popular even Lok know she rather associated with her company than the rest of the popular much but she does it occasionally which Lok take note of.
"I am never going to find her! Argh…why does Zhalia always like to give me the impossible to do?" he yell in frustration and messing his hair up physically to show how much stress he was under. Yet to his surprise fate was being nice to him for once, as Sophie Casterwill was walking out of the front gate of the school.
At first Lok reach out and yell her name to get her attention but nothing came out of his mouth. He held back wondering why could he not speak till he glance back noticing the other students watching. Of course he knew why since he practically announce to the whole school he was looking for her. A nobody like him looking for a girl like him was seriously out of his league. However he knew he should not let something like status prevent him from actually speaking to her.
He gulps for a moment as he prepares to make his move to Sophie Casterwill and by move he ran after her.
"Hey hold it! A…your name is Sophie right?" Lok started the conversation but notice she was not paying attention to her but to her book.
"Yes…Sophie Casterwill, have we met before?" Sophie question as she took a second to glance at Lok who hesitated with his answers. Since he remember Zhalia once complain to him that he was practically stalking Sophie Casterwill and her company but more on Sophie Casterwill than her company that she found it to be very disturbing. At first Lok did not understand what Zhalia was trying to imply to him and she did give up explaining to him however he knew now what exactly he meant by the odd feeling of practically stalking her.
"Um…not exactly…I'm Lok Lambert I have classes with you. Like history for whole year, math year before and science before that" he explains but notices Sophie's face change to irritated face which he could guess since he did hang out with Zhalia a lot. It was not hard to tell the expression the female are showing as they do tend to make it really oblivious.
"Look I don't exactly know you and you don't exactly know me that well. So I would prefer if you call me Casterwill and not Sophie. Also I demand to know why you're bothering me Lambert" Sophie said harshly and it did hurt Lok's feeling for a moment but knew it just the way things were. After all they were on two different side of the world.
"Well...I croak out on today review and you're one of the smartest girl in class. So I was wondering if I could borrow your note or you could tutor me?" Lok suggested however Sophie did not seem to buy it at all.
"Lambert if you're trying to sweet talk into me helping you out you should do better than saying 'I'm ONE of the SMARTEST girl in CLASS' and second I don't know you that well to help you out. Beside it your fault for sleeping in class" Sophie harshly put it again but Lok once again decide not to take it personal but was at dead end. For he could not figure out how could he get one of the smartest girl in his class beside Zhalia and few more girls. To help him in his Finals especially how his grade was on the line thanks to Zhalia's little bet.
It did not take long for Lok to realize that Sophie was not holding a book to read but a book that was filled with crossword. Something he was good at beside puzzles. Lok felt like some part of Zhalia was kicking in to him which is both good and frightening. As he was going to do the exact same thing Zhalia did to him onto Sophie instead.
"Hey! You like crossword?" he started making the conversation again even if Sophie walk away from him.
"It an exercise to keep my mind sharp, you should try it. It might help a bit" Sophie said clearly trying not to sound annoy but fail as she abandon the crossword book to glare at Lok.
"If I could finish the crossword under two minutes will you help me study?" Lok barging however it seem that Sophie was shock at his words and she did not believe them.
"There is no way you have a better vocabulary than I do! Alright then Lambert you're on!" Sophie states thinking that finally she could get rid of Lok and give him a taste of his own medicine. However she did not realize the trap she was falling into for having to underestimate Lok Lambert thus she would have to pay the prices. Whether she like too or not.
Less Than Two Minutes
Streets of Venice- Venice, Italy
"I can't believe it!" Sophie Casterwill claims as she stare at her crossword puzzle in shock not believing what she is seeing while Lok was on the ledge walking.
"You did it all in ninety seconds and didn't even scratch anything out!" she continues in disbelieve while Lok was taking it rather easy especially how he was focusing on balancing on the ledge right next to a canal.
"Hey are you cool with this?" Lok questions noticing that Sophie looks a little upset on having to lose to Lok and she did not seem willing to go along with the bet with the expression on her face. It made Lok feel a little guilty for letting Zhalia's influence getting onto him but…his grade were on the line.
"We made a deal so of course" she plainly said but somehow Lok did not believe her words.
"Yeah…but…I don't want to force you or anything" he said not wanting to get on bad side of Sophie Casterwill who was one of the most smartest and popular kids in school especially with the company she usually around with. As Lok does not want to get on the bad side of the school than he already is and he does like her so it oblivious he wishes not to be dislike by her.
"Don't worry about it, I always keep my word on the condition you take that silly hat off your head" Sophie mentions while smirking at him where Lok immediately put up his hand in defend.
"Ok I get it! Light up…seriously I do not understand what do girls have against the hat?" he said to Sophie and later part to himself. However he was not exactly that soft when he mumbles as Sophie overheard him talk.
"Girl? Sorry if I am sounding a bit rude but…you're not actually friend with Zhalia Moon are you?" Sophie asked out of curiosity that got Lok a little surprise that someone actually pay attention to nobody like Zhalia and him.
"Yeah why?" he answers not sure if he should have done that but he ignore the thought. As Zhalia was his friend well best friend and only friend in the school and there was no way he was going declines it. He silently curses himself for thinking such thought.
"You're kidding!" Sophie outburst her thought that got Lok confuse but remember that Zhalia is not exactly friendly type of person or that her reputation was that good with the people in school.
While Sophie was still stun that someone like Lok, who seem to be quiet alright guy but just a little misunderstood was actually friend with the rude and moody Zhalia Moon.
"No…in fact she is alright once you get to know her but she still can be a handful at times" Lok explains yet Sophie did not seem to look convince.
"Lok…you're not blackmail into being her friend are you?" Sophie hesitated for a moments to ask as she is offending Lok. Apparently Lok was taken back for a moment and his face turn quiet serious.
"Look I know she is not exactly the ideal friend or that she is the nicest person in the world but I wouldn't judge her that quick. How would you like it if I judge your friend Dante Vale to such a snob because he is the most popular and yet smartest guy in school?" Lok said that cause Sophie to be taken back and gave an apologise look to Lok.
"I'm sorry" she said and then Lok sighs and started to scratch his neck thinking somehow he made the atmosphere a little worst.
"Look it alright I'm use to these kind of stuffs, but heck I cannot decline Zhalia is master of ignoring people. Anyway my dorm is just right up there come on!" said Lok, who immediately started running to change the atmosphere of the mood in result Sophie smile and started to follow him.
Venice Preparation Academy, Astrology classroom– Venice, Italy
The bell rang and everyone including the teacher started to pack however Zhalia did not seem to be in the mood to pack. Her head was stuck to her book on the table as if she hit herself on the table intentionally and refuse to move or even lift up her head.
"Zhalia class is over, or have you not forgotten we have an project to finish up" Dante tease her a little but Zhalia did not seem impress as like Dante mentions the word projects.
"Urgh…let get this over and done with…oh and one more thing, don't call me Zhalia Vale we aren't even that close got it" Zhalia states not wanting to get too close to the popular side of the school. In respond Dante nods respecting his wishes.
"So where any suggestion on where we can decide what to do with our small assignment?" Dante asked and Zhalia stare at him giving him the face if he was serious.
"Are you trying to make a conversation here?" Zhalia asked trying to figure out if Dante was trying to be nice or not.
"Well we do have to start somewhere if we have to get a headstart with our assignment and if I have not forgotten we do have our History Final tomorrow" Dante reminded her as she groans how could she forget not to mentions she had to test Lok tonight if he fulfils his deal.
"Library" Zhalia said immediately and Dante blinks for a moment thinking she would have prefer somewhere less crowded. Since there were many students taking their Final that it would be seriously pack.
"Are you sure?" I mean we could always go to your place or mine" said Dante. As Zhalia stares at him trying to figure out what exactly was he thinking? Just as she notice how much stare she was getting from the other students since a nobody like her was actually walking side by side with the famous and popular Dante Vale. She resists slapping her face of embarrassment as she did not want more attention like she was receiving right now.
"Alright fine! Your house not mines!" Zhalia gave in and Dante was a little amused thinking she would prefer her own dorm than his house.
"If that what you want let go" Dante plainly said and lead the way while Zhalia groans as she could hear people talking about them. Especially those who were eavesdrop on their conversation and were gossiping about it right now.
"Oh someone kills me please…I would so trade teaching Lok for his History Final than this…" Zhalia mumbles to herself as she follows Dante out of school grounds.
Outside of Lok's dorm-Venice, Italy
Sophie was looking at the building Lok's dorm was located and was hesitating to go inside. Lok seem to notice as he could not hear the footstep behind him anymore.
"Something wrong?" he asked noticing that Sophie was looking rather uncomfortable.
"This is your dorm?" Sophie asked and Lok blinks wondering why she was asking but decide to think later and give her an answer in which he nods only for her to sigh.
"What? Never been to a dorm before?" Lok asked that immediately caught Sophie off guard. As her face change to a stun look that immediately gave Lok his answer.
"I thought so…" he said as he begins to think of the reason why Sophie was a little heist to enter into his dorm. Till he thought of a possible reason Sophie did not want to dorm.
"It not that bad, beside you cannot believe what television show these days or people words" Lok explains but Sophie did not look convince for one seconds.
"Really? So I shouldn't believe your word either?" Sophie said twisting his logic against him making Lok groans. As he was back to square one before another idea come to mind.
"If you don't want to study in my dorm, we could study at the library or your place if it makes you more comfortable" he suggests but did not realize Sophie's face becoming a little pale. As tutoring him in a library will be distracting as everyone will stare at the weird pairing studying in the library and the other option she refuse since she did not like the idea of showing a complete stranger where she live.
"Alright fine, the other two option stinks anyway let get it over and done with Lambert" Sophie spoke as she force herself to take the few steps into the building of his dorm.
"Now that wasn't so bad right?" Lok mentions as he grins. He ran to catch up to Sophie so that he could lead the way and open the door to his dorm. First they took a lift to the highest floor and they enter out of the lift as they begin walking further in. Soon Sophie notice two door and Lok was opening the first one in sight than the one further down.
"I didn't expect a dorm to be something like this…"Sophie comment and Lok just laugh as he took out his key.
"Well not everything is learning by reading right?" Lok joke but Sophie did not seem to be laughing.
"Say Lambert…you don't actually share the same dorm with…her do you?" Sophie hesitant to ask after the last time but Lok did not seem to bother by her question.
"Of course not, it a rule that I am not allow to share room with her…well you know a girl. Through she does live the next dorm to mine" Lok added however Sophie did not seem thrill at all.
"Fascinating…" she spoke with a clear dull voice but Lok did not seem to notice as he finally found the key to his dorm.
"Well here we are…sorry about the mess…I haven't gotten the time to clean up" Lok said as he opens the door to allow Sophie to enter into his dorm. It was a huge mess with paper and book plus dvd on the ground, he was not exactly a organized person but he was clean at least. He did not have a single shirt, pant or underwear on the ground all thanks to Zhalia who managed to lecture him to his death about his cleanliness with his clothes.
"Whoa…guess it explains how you beat my crossword, you're a huge nerd!" Sophie pointed out as she made her way to the desk filled with different type of puzzle as she abandon her crossword to look at the puzzle on the table.
"Come on, you're going to tell me what to do for the test right?" Lok asked as he places his hat and bag on the hat hooks as he watches Sophie fiddle with one of his puzzle.
"No I'm going to help you study…you do have textbook right?" Sophie asked hoping that she would not have to use her own as she already written note for her to use. That she wish not to show Lok as it would be pointless to tutorial him on how to study for his History Final when he did nothing at all when he look at her notes.
"Oh of course I do!" Lok said and ran toward a shelf above his sofa to take out his textbooks.
"Right here see!" Lok continues only for Sophie to respond in confuse that it was perfect condition, no dog ear, no torn pages and it was not even open!
"You have got to be kidding me! You didn't even open them from the plastic cover it was wrapped in!" Sophie yelled and Lok was blinking wondering why Sophie was raising her voice for when all he did was show her his books.
"So? It not like I never read them covers to covers or anything" Lok mentions that got Sophie a little confuse for a while.
"Tell me again how did you managed to take History this year?" Sophie asked as she found it impossible for someone like Lok who did not bother to take out his textbook out from the plastic cover to pass his History Final last year.
"Well I had a little…helped…" Lok said trying to find his word hoping that he will not have to tell Sophie about the deal.
"Please do not tell me that she help you" Sophie guess only for Lok to play with his finger and nods allowing Sophie's guess to be right.
"Answer me this than Lambert...if she help you out with your History the last time, why is it you need my help now?" Sophie asked and Lok begins to sweat worrying that he had to tell her the truth but managed to find another solution.
"Well…let say she is busy with another class…and…if you have not…notice we don't exactly take all the same class together…" Lok mentions while silently praying she brought the answer.
"Fine, it does explain why you're not following her around like a puppy" Sophie comment and it did not take long for Lok to realize what Sophie call him.
"Hey! I'm not a puppy!" Lok protests as Sophie giggles where she proceeds to remove the plastic cover of Lok's textbooks.
"Shall we get started, we do have lot to cover on for tomorrow Finals" Sophie continues as she finishes removing the plastic cover from Lok's textbook. She notice Lok's face was a little sick as if he was not looking forward to studying.
"Alright…I did ask you anyway…let get this done" Lok mention as he gave in, soon he and Sophie sat down on one of his desk after he clear his mess off the table where they started studying.
Outside Dante's House-Venice, Italy
Zhalia was looking out of the house and by outside the house she was literally standing outside of the gate when Dante was inside already.
"You really live here?" Zhalia asked while Dante just chuckle at her questions.
"Of course I do and if you need some proof, you could always check the phonebook" Dante joked but Zhalia glare at him not finding the joke to be funny or anything.
"Well come on inside or do you need an invitation to come in?" Dante continues noticing Zhalia was not moving an inch. Till his comment was said it made Zhalia a little piss that she decide to just enter into the gate that got Dante a little happier.
"Thank you and I hope you don't need another invitation into my house" he comments as Zhalia only walk into yard and not into his house.
"I'm fine Vale just…oh never mind let just get the first part of the project done then can go our separated way and study for our finals" Zhalia said as she walk ahead of Dante who just shrug at her and walk a little fast to catch up to her so that he could unlock the door.
"Well…welcome to my house, do make yourself at home if you like" Dante politely said after he open the door for Zhalia and close it behind him. Zhalia begins to observe the living room taking note that it was almost as big as Lok and her dorm living room/ kitchen.
"So are we doing our project here or…" Zhalia pauses for a moment as Dante seem to read her mind and lead her to the way to the…
"…study room…I should have known" she continues as they enter into the study room. It was filled with bookshelves, desk, chair and anything you need to make a study room.
"Well now that we found a perfect place shall we settle down and get started?" Dante asked and Zhalia nods thus both of them sat on a chair whereby they took out their notes to get the first part of the project started.
Lok's dorm, Living/Kitchen Room-Venice Italy
Lok and Sophie were currently going through the textbook together while Lok having paper and pen beside him to write down some notes. As Sophie was tutoring him yet she could not help but notice that Lok was not exactly paying much attention. Sure he was paying attention but not at the book but at her actually.
"Lambert!" Sophie yells that immediately got Lok's attention who was stun when she suddenly raise his voice.
"What?" he said only to receive a glare at Sophie that made him realize he was not paying attention again.
"Do you seriously want to study?" she asked hoping to get a convincing answer out from him.
"No…yes…I'm sorry I am like…zoning out or something but I need to pass this History Finals!" Lok try to explains while Sophie just responds with a sigh.
"Alright…fine I know we been at it for a while so we will take a break" she told him and immediately he rejoice.
"Five minutes" she said smirking as it did made Lok's spirt die down but not that much.
"Well it better than nothing anyway…hey do you need a drink or anything?" Lok asked and Sophie shook her head telling him no. He shrug his shoulder and when to grab a drink from the kitchen while Sophie decide to stand up a little and explore Lok's dorm a bit. Soon something caught her eye which was some statue or artefact on one of the shelves above the sofa.
"I wonder what that is…" Sophie said to herself as she walks toward it somehow drawn to it for some reason.
"Hey So-Casterwill are you sure you don't want…wait!" Lok reacted realizing that Sophie was reaching out toward his stuff especially something he treasures. He immediately drops his bottle of water and ran toward Sophie.
"That is my dad…" he yells only to bump into Sophie who began to bring it down only to drop it. When Lok bump into her that result them falling on the ground and Sophie losing her grip on the artefact that look almost like a vase to break.
"Ow…oh my…I'm so sorry!" Sophie said realizing what she had done but Lok did not seem to be upset but fascinated by what was inside the vase.
"Hey what is this? Whoa…" he picks up a funny looking necklace with a green gem on it and felt a little different from picking it up while Sophie was more drawn to the brown book. She picks it up and begins to flip through it.
"Why does this symbol look familiar to me…Oh my…goodness is this…Leonardo da Vinci sketches?" Sophie said as she flips through the book.
"This journal is unbelievable!" Sophie claims as she continues to flips through the journal now that got Lok a little curious himself.
"So...they are treasure map?" Lok asks seeing how Sophie seems to engross with the journal.
"Honestly I don't even have a clue!" Sophie replies to him that even she was at loss of the journal contents.
"Oh…well at least now I know that the vase had something hidden inside" Lok mentions that got Sophie confuse.
"Wait you didn't know what inside of it?" Sophie asked as she thought that Lok knew what was inside the vase that why he stop her.
"Not really but it belong to my dad and I felt like I should well treasure it since he…" he started but stop when suddenly the window behind him. Suddenly scatter around him when a dark blond hair man in suit crash into it.
Meanwhile at the same time
Dante's House, Study Room-Venice, Italy
Dante and Zhalia had managed to settle with part of their project work but right they were looking through the book in the study room for a little more information. Then afterward they would start revising for their History Finals tomorrow.
"Are you sure you have the books here?" Zhalia yell to Dante who was two shelves away from her and also to show she was clearly annoyed. As they could have use the internet instead of finding the information in the book.
"I remember reading something like that so it got to be around here" Dante responded and Zhalia just went back to looking through the books.
"Did you really read all of the books in this room?" Zhalia ask not convinces that Dante actually read all of the books and actually remember reading something similar to their project. That could prove most helpful but right now it was being a pain.
"Yup, don't tell you don't read much" Dante comment and Zhalia just glare at him at his responses.
"I do read Vale but not as much as this…if you have not notice not everyone is rich as you are to own a library" Zhalia said and then Dante sigh realizing that he was saying all the wrong things.
"I'm sorry if I offend you or anything but…I really would like to actually know more about my partner who I am working with" Dante apologize and explains that really caught Zhalia off guard since she did not expect him to apologize but rather snap at her attitude or that he want to know more about her. Yet she felt like it a trap or something that she did not feel right to open up to him at all.
"Look Vale…there is no point trying hard to be nice and all. As I know your type you play nice and later on you toss it aside. I'm not dumb so...you can do us both a favour and let just finish this project. Then afterward pretend like we don't even exist at all alright?" Zhalia said and did not expect an answer also she did not notice Dante's face to be a little saddened by her answers.
Thus both of them continue their search without speaking but while looking, Zhalia took a glance at Dante thinking she was a being a little harsh just now. However she knew it was true and there was no way she could be friend with someone like him. Also Zhalia knew she was not exactly 'friend materials' sometimes her word does hurt and she does not know it. So it was best if they just get it over with it and not get involved with each other after all they are from two different side of the world.
"Vale why do you have a book without a title or author at the side?" Zhalia asked as she broke the silent immediately Dante turn realizing she was at that section. The section he forgot to tell her not to touch it as it was forbidden.
"Wait Zhalia that…" Dante yell but stop as Zhalia removes the book when suddenly they heard something open. They turn to see the table in the middle top open and slowly something came out. It reveals to be an light grey oval shape, teeth marking below and a blue gem in the middle with a brown string attached to it making it look like a brown necklace.
"Alright Vale what just happen?" Zhalia demands an answer but notices that even Dante was lost for words.
"I don't know but…I never seen this thing before have you…whoa…" Dante claims as he took the weird looking items only to felt a little odd after taking it.
"What?" Zhalia asked noticing Dante look a little different for a moment.
"Not that sure…but if you must know I did not know that could happen" Dante explains hoping that Zhalia would actually believe him.
"Well you were surprise as I was so I guess you didn't even know there was a trap hidden underneath your nose" she said folding her arm then turning to look at where she pull out the book from.
"So…you never touch this before?" Zhalia asked turning back to look at Dante who was occupied a bit by the item in his hand.
"No I was told never to touch it" Dante spoke as he continues to observe the item in his hand.
"And it never bothers you why this particular book did not have a title or author name?" Zhalia questions and Dante gave a little small laughter.
"I never really bother to investigate the bookshelves" Dante admit and Zhalia nods then open the book only to find it to be secret shortage holding a weird looking laptop inside.
"Look like book can really hold stuffs inside…say Vale have you seen this before?" Zhalia walk toward him and show him the weird laptop inside that got him a little stun by it as it was different from usual laptop.
"No but I didn't even think he would keep hidden stuff like this inside here" Dante comment that got Zhalia curious.
"Who would keep like this?" she asked and then Dante sighs.
"Well my…DOWN" he started when suddenly he notices something flying toward them. He grabs onto Zhalia and fall onto the ground to avoid the attack that smash his window. That realize in a blond female suit to jump into the room.
Lok's dorm, Living/Kitchen Room & Dante's House, Study Room-Venice, Italy
"Augorfrost" both male and female blond suit yell and light blue orb was surrounding their hands then they shot it directly at Lok&Sophie and Dante&Zhalia.
"What?" all four of them yelled as they dodge the attack and notice the damaged it done to the wall.
"What is going on?" again the four of them yelled in shock and fear.
Thanks for reading sorry about some of the error I try my best and it was in a little rush. Also if some character were a little out of character let say I try to keep them to character but at the same time need a little change in them. As I think if some of them were not Seekers it might have change a little of their personality and attitude just a bit. So yeah thanks again for reading!
