The guy- Derek- sighs and runs a hand through his thick black hair. "I anticipated you would say that. Simon! Tori! I need your help!" More people? My judgment is proving to be really bad. First I thought there was no one here, then I thought it was only this guy and my father. Jokes on me. The whole castle is probably filled to the brim with people. Guests and servants galore.
"What's up, bro?" I look up to see an Asian boy with sandy blond hair and almond-shaped eyes standing by the door. For some reason, he looks familiar. He notices me and a grin spreads across his face. He looks back to Derek and says, "I thought I heard you scolding someone. What's her name?"
"I'm here, losers." Another person appears at the door, this time a girl. "What do you want, Wolfboy?"
Derek sighs and replies, "This girl is a necromancer. To be frank, I don't know what to do with her. Should we keep her here?"
"I don't know, Wolfboy," the girl says. She pauses and looks behind me. "Who's in the cell behind her?"
"Her father, from what I picked up," Derek replies. "Simon, what do you think we should do?"
The boy- Simon, I guess- sighs and says, "I say we should keep her here to, you know, teach her what she is and how to use her powers. Her father will have to leave, though. She came here looking for him, so there's probably a search team coming out here, and we can't have them searching the place. That's just my suggestion, though, and Dad will be here soon, so we can ask him when he gets back."
Derek nods and looks back towards the cell behind me containing my father. He abruptly looks up before a call rings out in a familiar voice, although I can't seem to put a name or a face to it. "I'm home!"
"We're in here!" Simon calls out.
A middle-aged man walks in the room and says, "What are you guys doing in-" He stops short when he sees me. "Chloe?"
"Kit?"
