Chapter 10

War was muttering curses under his breath while tossing books aside. Clearly he didn't enjoy the task of 'research'.
Jawwie was asking the owner of the store about their selections while Alaska went to the back of the store.
She looked around to make sure no one was near before she looked at a little corner of a selection of 'Hero's'.
'Let's see….A…b…..c…..D! She has to be in here somewhere. Aha!'
Though off topic, Alaska needed to research her mother. There was so many things that she didn't get to ask her.
Her face quickly went from happiness to disappointment . All that the book said was general facts about her.
Alaska groaned silently while slamming the book shut and shoving it back into the bookcase.
She got up from where she was crouching and turned to go back to her friends when she collided into someone, thrusting her head first into a nearby bookcase.
She lay on the floor rubbing her head "Ow! Watch where you're-" She stopped when she got a good look at the stranger.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry!" He quickly apologized and helped her up. "I didn't see you crouching back there. Are you alright?"
She just stood staring at the boy. He had dark smooth hair, ruffled a little like he's been in a lot of fights, a gentle face, and kind brown eyes.
"Hello?" He asked in confusion.
"Oh! Um…Okay, yeah, yeah I-I'm fine." She mentally slapped herself for mumbling. 'He probably thinks I'm a complete retard'.
"You sound dizzy. Are you sure your ok?"
"Yeah, it's nothing. I-"
"Hey Npm!" War suddenly called from the back. "I didn't even see you behind all these damn books."
"So your names Npm?" I asked. "War never said anything about you". 'I wish he had'.
"Well I was away from Runescape for a while." Npm explained.
"Npm!" War called as he came behind him. "You devil, why didn't you tell me you were coming back today?"
"I wanted to see your freaked out face." Npm smiled.
Jawwie squeezed in after War. "Aren't we supposed to be doing re-…Npm?"
"Does everyone know about this guy except me?" Alaska joked.
"You meant him before" War said in confusion.
"I have?" Alaska asked.
"She has?" Npm chimed in.
Jawwie laughed nervously. "Heh heh…No War. I think your thinking of someone ELSE." She said, fixing him with a glare.
"Oh!" War said in embarrassment.
"Huh?" Npm asked.
"Nevermind dude. Hey! Tell me about your trip. Find any hotties?"
Npm glanced at Alaska before saying "Let's find somewhere else to talk. It's kind of stuffy in here."
"Yeah." Jawwie agreed. "And me and Alaska have a lot to talk about." She motioned toward the exit and Alaska obeyed.

"Have I ever meant him before?" Alaska asked when they were out of earshot.
"Yeah you did." Jawwie admitted."In fact you had a crush on him once. Until you two had a fight and Npm left for a 7 month trip. Then you meant Morph. I don't blame you for falling for him; take away the difference in levels and those two could be twins."
Alaska kept looking back like she was barely listening.
"Alaska?..Your not honestly falling for him again are you? You have too much drama going on right now to think about that! He doesn't even know who you are."
"Well maybe that's a good thing. Aklase never got the change to tell him she was sorry."
"Look…whatever this prophecy thing is, it said there's going to be The THREE not the four. It's nice that he's here and all, but he's not part of this. And if you fall for him again, sooner or later he's going to find out the secret and ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?"
Alaska was looking back again.
"Huh? Yeah, yeah, sure. Fine, I'll back off I guess."
"You guess?" Jawwie asked, patience clearly running out.
Before they could say anymore, War and Npm came running toward them.
"Guys! Look what Npm found!" War called and shoved something into the girls faces.
Jawwie took the paper. "It's a map…to the Cave of Legends!" She gasped.
"It's exactly what we need!" Alaska agreed. "How do we get there?"
"Why do you need that piece of crap anyway?" Npm asked.
"Um…It's a…treasure..hunt." Alaska said awkwardly.
"Cool. Let me come too!"
"No!" Jawwie said.
"Aw c'mon Jaws." War began. "He did find this map. And Npm's like my bro; he can keep a secret."
"Well….." Jawwie looked at ground.
"Uh guys…If you look at this map I think you'll see we need all the help we can get." Alaska muttered.
"Why?" Jawwie took the map. The second later she gasped, "Ohh no! I'm not going there! Never!"
