Bronwyn point of view
"Aidan I don't care if Dewayne got a call saying he had to go to work, I am tired." I pushed him off my bed. He fell but got right back up. " No! you don't understand It was a code red!" He cried, "It could be important."
"Yeah code reds are, but that doesn't mean something crazy is up." I mumbled into my pillow. "Now go back to bed."
"Bitch."
"Jerk," I replied as he left my room. He was so going to get it tomorrow.
Carissa woke me up in the morning to tell me the plans to go to town were cancelled. She had been called to work and if she didn't want to get fired had to go. I nodded in understanding and made my way down stairs.
"Frosted flakes?" Aidan said groggily from the counter.
"Nah." I said picking up and apple from the fruit bowl. "I'm good."
"Whatever." He went back to eating his cereal and was unusually quiet."
"What's wrong with you, Ya sick." I asked him curiously.
He didn't respond until Carissa was out of the house, then he exploded. "Let's go." He jumped up, threw his bowl in the sink and ran up the stairs.
"What are you doing?" I asked him slightly agitated. "Listen I'm going to go get dressed and then maybe we can watch some T.V or something." I told him walking to my room."
"Wait!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me down the hallway. I grumbled all the way angry that my younger brother was strong enough to pull me around. "Look at this book shelf!" He practically yelled.
I looked at the titles of the books. Most of them were about mythology or monsters or some other unreal things. "Yeah," I said not getting the point, "They like cool stuff, what are you getting at."
"That's not it!" He cried and pulled one of the books off the shelf. "Look what's happening."
I stared at the bookshelf, "And." I shook my head and once again made my way to my bedroom.
"Bronwyn, now look." Aidan said.
I turned around and much to my surprise there was no longer a book shelf but another room, only this time instead of being filled with guns it was filled with swords. " Oh." I said dumbstruck, "This is what you were talking about.
" Well duh," he smirked. "I'm not crazy."
That was debatable, but we walked into the room and looked around. "What do you think their doing with all these swords?" I said
"Not just swords," he said. "There's axes and knifes and halberds and …. He dropped off.
"These are so cool." he walked over to the left wall and took off two knifes. The blades were at least twelve inches long and shaped like fangs. While the blade was a bright white the handle was a polished wood the color of a newborn fawn. Grooves ran down its handle to offer grip. They both seemed to glow with an eerie but attracting light. He stood staring at them for a minute then stuck them in his pocket.
"Hey put it back stupid," I shouted. "You'll get use caught."
"No I won't." He retorted. "I'm not that stupid. And besides according to them ,they don't know its here."
"Fine," I snarled. "I'll just take this." I picked up the first thing I saw. And it just happened to be an old musty book covered in dust and about to fall apart. I couldn't put it down now though; otherwise I'd just look stupid. And I was too angry to look stupid.
It took us a half an hour to pick up the books. Then Aidan went to get on some website called Kongregate and I went upstairs to get dressed. When I was done I made my way to the computer Aidan was sitting at and said, "You know how you're pretty good at breaking into stuff on the computer."
"Yeah," He mumbled completely into his game.
" Well," I said Putting my hands in front of the screen to get his attention. "Why don't we search there files, see if there's anything strange."
His angry glare he was giving me for disrupting his game turned into a giant grin. "So now you believe something's up."
"Well, yeah." I shrugged my shoulders. "Can you do it or not?"
"Already did." He said opening a folder. "It's in some cryptic language on this page." He then opened another page, "then on this one it's in English."
"What does it say?" I asked.
"If you'd shut up for one second I'd tell you." He grumbled angrily. "I've partially decoded the first but it's in multiple languages."
"Like what." I asked getting exasperated.
"Arabic, Russian, Taiwanese, Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs, and many more." He answered without looking.
"But what does the English say." I said while thinking about strangling him.
"Not the right thing, that's what it says. They were trying to decode it too, but they decoded it wrong." He said knowingly.
I really didn't understand what he was getting at, I just wanted him to get to the point already, "So what does it say?"
"It says "From the dark they shall rise and man shall meet his demise."
"What did they have?" I asked
"In the mist it will awaken and man will forever be…"
"Be what, be what." I screamed.
"Be." He started then paused. "Be constipated, in the mist it will awaken and man will forever be CONSTIPATED Weird right?"
I rolled my eyes, but I knew something was up. "so what are we going to do, Carissa and Dewayne are obviously hiding something from us."
"Yeah but the question is what." My brother said.
"Want to find out?" I asked him but when I turned around he was walking down the stairs. "Where are you going?" I yelled.
"To get some frosted flakes." He yelled back, "I think better when I eat them."
We ate and by the time we finished we had come up with a perfect plan. If this planed worked we would figure out where Dewayne and Carissa worked.
