"Up ahead. To the left," I pointed. The whole flock swerved left and landed swiftly in the cave.
"Hello!" I called, "Anyone here?"
Veritas POVWhat was that? It was coming from the entrance of the cave.
"Come on, Jake. I heard something. Let's go check it out. If it's the Zor Clan they're gonna be really sorry that they decided to knock on our doors today." I said. He nodded.
We very quietly sneaked around the corner by the entrance of the cave. No Zor Clan. Bummer. I gestured my head at Jake to go around the corner and that I would follow. We stepped around the corner and saw four pairs of eyes looking very surprised to see us, but to our disappointment there were two pairs of eyes narrowed.
Max POVTwo figures stepped around the corner. A skinny, but handsome looking, black- haired boy and a skinny brunette girl. I narrowed my eyes.
"We don't want to cause any trouble. 'K? So we'll just ask you some questions and we'll be on our way," I said carefully.
"Fine," the brunette stated simply.
"Do you know Veritas Xi?" I asked.
She snorted, "Do I know her? I am her," she said sarcasm dripping. "Oh, and by the way it's pronounced X-I."
I heard someone mumble told you so. Angel.
"Can we talk to you?" I asked.
Veritas POV
"Can we talk you?" the tallest girl asked.
I was about to say we come with a price, or a direct no, but before I could say anything Jake said…
"Sure."
