Okay, we are almost at the end of this story. The next chapter is the last chapter, sorry. I do have brainstorms for the crossover, and Keeper of the Lost Cities will crossover with... I'll tell you at the end of this chapter! Enjoy!
Naomi kept on running, and didn't stop. She ran until she could not run anymore, and she stopped. She looked at where she was. She saw the horizon, and when she looked down, she was at the end of a cliff.
She heard footsteps behind her, and she turned around. She was surprised to see Alvar behind her.
"What do you want?" She asked, her voice as cold as her froster abilities.
"Just to check up on you." He said. "What did you know about Jolie? Any organizations she was working with?"
"Well… There was one organization we made up." Naomi said, she was panicking on the inside. Alvar perked up. "It was like study hall, but it was for our abilities. So far, it was only Jolie, Brant, Nolan and I. Brant was willing to be the judge. Whoever improved the most got the rarest Prattles pin the losers had. It was fun, but then Jolie died, and Brant's mind broke, and everything fell apart."
Alvar looked disappointed, and Naomi was relieved. Their club was real and it did fall apart.
"That's it?" Alvar asked, prying for more information.
"That's all that I know of. But I know she and Brant spent a lot of time together. Like, I'm talking days at a time. It was really annoying."
"Oh… what's your relationship with Leto?"
"Leto? The Beacon or something?" Naomi asked. "That Leto?"
"Yup." Alvar asked, and Naomi shrugged, her hand tucking hair behind her ear, at the same time she flicked a panic switch on one of her rings. It sent out a panic signal, and had a microphone, letting them hear the conversation.
"I don't know that much about Leto, Alvar." Naomi said, letting anyone listening know who she was with. Alvar narrowed his eyes, and Naomi stared him down. Naomi was sure that if there was any cink in her armor, Alvar would push her off the cliff.
"Fine."
"What?"
"Nothing."
"You can go now." Naomi said suggestively.
"I want to stay."
"Fine." Naomi bit her lip. "Stay."
They stood like that for one hour before Nolan came.
"What are you doing with my sister?!" Came Nolan's immediate response when he saw them together.
"Nothing Nolan." Naomi replied, and shot him an I'll-tell-you-later look from one eye that was not facing Alvar.
"Well, we're looking for you. So if you'd come come join us for dinner, we would really appreciate it." He said, and flicked his eyes between Naomi and Alvar, feeling the tension.
"Yeah, I'm coming." Naomi said, and walked with Nolan into the Home Crystal light, without looking back.
•=•=•=•
"Thanks for saving me. He is suspicious about Jolie being in the group, and-"
"What do you think you're doing? You just ran, and then you hit the panic switch, and you forget to turn your location on. It took forever to find you!" Nolan chastised.
"Well I'm sorry, It was either let you know where I was and get pushed off the cliff, or not die, and have you find me. If I died, then where would we be? At another wanderling planting." Naomi said angrily.
"What-"
"Besides, I know what my next assignment will be. I'm positive that he's in the Neverseen. I'm taking this information to Leto." Naomi said, and walked inside their home without another word.
Alvar Vacker may be in the Neverseen. Keep a close eye on him. I will try to tag him, and I go where he goes. Can you excuse me from school until I figure this out? Naomi wrote in ruins, and put it in a special, non-tracking device. The ruins appeared, and they got sent out. Then the device went black.
Naomi froze the paper, and shattered it against the wall. She made it smudge the writing, and burned it.
"Time for dinner Naomi!" Her brother's voice came from the dinner table.
"Okay!" Naomi came down, and was engulfed by the smells. "Mmm, is that Brattails I smell?"
"Yup, and we have Porcarot Pie and Fluffcreams for dessert." Nolan said with a smile.
"We know that's your favorite." Her mom said. She was a beautiful woman, she had caramel hair that ran in the family, and silvery blue eyes, setting her apart from her brother. Naomi assumed she got her cobalt blue eyes from her uncle. She glanced at her dad.
"Let's eat!" He dad said. He had sky blue eyes, and dark brown hair. Naomi got her hair and eye colors from her mom, but she got everything else from her dad. From her heart shaped face, to her dimples on her cheeks.
"Why all this? I mean, Nolan doesn't even like Fluffcreams… Unless you do! Were you lying to us?! You know what? Never mind. I'm hungry." Naomi said, and dug into her food. She devoured all of it in fifteen minutes.

"Naomi." Leto pulled her aside. "What do you mean? He's a part of them?"
"I think, I'm not sure, but please cover me? I know Lady Alina wouldn't let me get excused and-"
"How much time do you need?"
"You see, that's the thing, I don't know. I found him in the lost cities, so he's either on a secret assignment from Alden, or it's something else. I'm going to go with something else."
"Fine. I'll see if I can. If you find anything… Let me know."
"Thank you, thank you so much; but if this whole thing if fake… Don't say I didn't warn you." Naomi said.
"Good luck, and stay two steps ahead of your opponent." Leto advised.
"Will do sir." Naomi saluted, and stepped onto the leapmaster.
The Flash! The crossover will be with the Flash. I already have ideas, so that settles that, and if any of you have an idea, let me know!
