The 14th day…

Anis puffed her cheeks as she lay flat on her bed doing nothing but staring at the ceiling once was the day she was supposed to be able to start on her ''mission'' again but the map was still the same…the x hadn't moved nor anything else had the idle punishment were to finish today then why was she not given a single clue on what she had to do next?
Mimo yawned and her thoughts came to an abrupt end as she lifted,supporting her body with her elbows.

'Are you sleepy little one?'she inquired

'Is it THAT obvious?'Mimo said sarcasticly,the tone taking Anis aback.

'Well no need to be that mean…ya know we are all tired…'she whispered.

'…and fidgety…but he is so much younger than us Anis,his body can barely handle half of the pressure you and i are going through…' Nefeli exclaimed calmly.

'I know…'Anis pouted…'but i couldn't stop thinking all theese days…'

'Here we go…' Mimo boringly uttered.

'Maybe this was all planned…' she pouted

'Please Anis take that stupid,invisible thinking hat off your head…you're killing me with all your conspiracy theories…' the girl had to stop talking as she started coughing violently.

All this days,the pinkette had noticed her friend getting weaker with every passing asked but she was favoured no reply…at least not a satisfying time she would just settle for Nefeli's reassurance that nothing was on…that every single thing was okay,but no one could deny Anis what she could see with her own two her friend caught a cold…no ''biggie'' she thought at first…I mean it's only natural since they casually strolled along that lake in the middle of the this was not a regular flu or just could tell...okay, maybe it wasn't just her great intuition warning her,but she once caught Nefeli wiping blood off her palm swiftly after one of her coughing issue had to be addressed.

'You're terribly sick we need to go to a hospital…It's not like i can just stand here watching you suffer like that…' she glared her friend while putting a hand on Nefeli's back for support. '…and also…when you're this way we both know you can't think clear…and we need your brain for I am no genius..and I won't be able to help Kaede…' her eyes full of saddness.

'No doctor could help Anis…it's okay I am telling you…' she took a deep breath 'I have something to say though…' she exhaled slowly '…Luna tricked us…'she gave Anis a sad look ' or better yet…she pushed us to realize that the riddle we were given twice is the first part of the process that must be followed to bring him back…'she waited for a while '…well…you do remember that this was the clue we found when talking with Morana…she offered us the same shit as a clue…'Nefeli whined a lumb forming in her throat.

'We realized that as soon as we were told we were not allowed to continue our quest…sooo…' anis sighed.

'What I am saying is…'she looked at Mimo '…he knew…and the reason the map isn't changing is because he…'now she was pointing at the sleepy boy'…knows what we must do next,but is not allowed to talk until the idle punishment is over…'

Anis sat there agape,wether she was processing the information or she was shocked after realization hit sighed and opted to sit comfortably at he small sofa next to Mimo.

'Yeah Anis…you were right this step was solely created to slow us down…' she pinched Mimo's cheeks '…now…spill it you little brat…'she said playfully.

'Uhh?' he looked surprized but after a few moments he realized something'Oh yea!...My sister said she did all of this to help you and don't hate on her…also she said I should give you this…'he hopped off the couch and crawled under the bed retrieving a little piece of paper. '…but only after the tenth day,otherwise the map would be destroyed…that is the actual clue she had to give you…and you'd have to actually fight didn't want that…she's a good girl I told you,so she helped you more than she should…that's the actual reason you were punished…does it make any sense now?'he scrunched his small nose.

'Actual clue given/no fight=punishment cause we were supposedly ''idle'' and we weren't worth it…' the blond girl summed it up.

'Yup…that's pretty much it.'he said while handing Nefeli the piece of paper.

The girl unfolded it and proceeded reading the words scribbled on it.

'Osculum labiis velvet,tactu cor unum...''

'Just one thing…'; Anis snapped '…what is with your ancestors and Lating huh?Do the think this gives our quest some kind of sick prestige or something? The volume of her voice picking up noticeably.

'N-no…If i felt better i would laugh in your face,but i am tired…'Nefeli whispered.

'Then why don't they give us messages in freaking english?Am I asking for too much?Damn it they sure know how to aggravate people…'she puffed her cheeks once again.

'Well,my silly friend, i hope you can recall the first envelope we found stressing on how this quest is designed for a pink rose and if you haven't noticed i understand Latin…they teach us…duh!'she muttered weakly but with a hint of irritation nonetheless.

'Sooo…what does it say? 'she asked defeated.

'Kiss velvet lips,touch the heart of the one…roughly at least' she sighed one more time.

'Hey, hey look at that!'Mimo exclaimed happily while enthusiastically waving the map over his head. Once he gained their attention he rushed to Anis giving her the map…


'Tum turum pum pum turum tum tutum tururu…' Ella was humming an unknown melody as she was reading with great concetration a piece of paper laid in front of her. 'And so our little Anis lost control of her knight,after seeing me kiss him,and now tum tum turum she won't be able to save him unless she finds the book and tum tum turum i will make sure that she doesn't even get close to it…purum pumpum…'she continued her performance while her eyes were still glued to the paper in front of raised a finger and waved it along with her humming. It wasnt long before she felt fingers curling around her wrist and wetness engulfing her index finger.

'What are you doing? 'she struggled to hide a smirk.

'mmmm?' the violet knight stopped and proceeded nibbling her ear,quite irritated that he hadn't still managed to get her full girl decided to play along and didn't take her eyes of the violet knight groaned and tried to snatch it away from her, but failed to do so.

'Tsk tsk tsk…bad boy…what is it you want again?...' she smiled, finally turning to look at him.

Satisfied with himself he leaned in to kiss her but she backed away,putting her palm over his mouth.

'I don't like mixing work with fun…and as you can see i am in the middle of something…'she stated calmly.

The violet knight groaned but complied nonetheless.

'Do we really have to keep this little brat around?He gets on my nerves…he looks so clueless all the time…and he asks for you every now and then. Is that spell really that strong?I mean…strong enough to make him completely forget about the one he loves and follow every command of yours as if he's a brainless zombie or something?...'

'Pretty much...well without the zombie thing of course…he is able to function properly whenever i ask him to do anything…you know he doesn't extend his arms,walk without bending his knees while muttering ''yes master''…'she giggled '…but close enough to that…' she sighed 'if i want him to, that is…'she added.

'Well then…are you ever going to use him according to the plan or are you going to keep him here laying useless,wandering around the house and stuff…' he frowned.

'That is for me to decide…but to be honest i do plan on using him this time around…'she grinned devilishly…


'Let me see!'Anis snatched the papyrus from the boy's grasp. Upon letting her eyes fall on it she noticed that not onle had the X moved in another location but something was written beside it.

'' Remember now

What you were taught

Don't let the knowledge

You have,rot

About a lady dressed in black

That bares a curse within her heart.

The butterfly caught in a web,

The life of which is now to end.'' The girl read out loud.

Nefeli had now scooted closer,her eyes slightly wide in sock…

'Oh God if this means what I think it does,then man are we in trouble…' she shook her head and her expression gave away nothing but fear…(well my inner troll said i should stop this chapter here and let you wait but since i must be a good girl, for christmas, i won't…)


'Let me explain…are you..familiar with the concept of…,well, mythology?'Nefeli hoped for a positive answer,but obviously she was just shrugged giving her friend an apologetic look.

'Well..it's fine I can enlighten you…'she said, a mixture of tiredness and sarcasm in her girl spent about half an hour explaining to her friend the story of Arachni, never forgetting to mention that not all of what people said was exactly the then explained how this had something to do with their case and how dangerous what they had to do thanked her grandma on preparing her for such shit and cursed their luck at the same also tried to make clear the fact that a dress up was imperative…ya know, for the sake of surviving.

'The only problem Anis is that we can not find her…' she sulked.

'What do you mean?We have the map dummy, it will guide us to her»she beamed.

'Not quite…' she pressed her lips in a thin line.

'What do you mean?'the pinkette frowned.

'Well the map only signifies the place where all of the spiders gather for their…well…festivities…'she shrugged while making a face, usatisfied with the word she chose to express herself. '…and the only…celebration…' again she scrunched her nose at the choice of words '…at this time around is,well,the millenium sth sth…look it's weird to explain further okay…i have no words to describe it correctly…all you need to know is that they will all gather in this place in about…' she took a look at the calendar hanging on the wall '…oh shiiitt…' she cursed under her breath.

'T-tonight?'Anis stuttered.

'well…no…that would be a blessing…damn!We will be loosing too much precious time …' she rubbed little circles on her temples to soothe the tension and deter that headache that threatened to take over her any time now from doing so.

'How much…' Anis whispered.

'Ten…' was Nefeli's answer before her coughing went rampant. This time the girl didn't succeed in concealling the blood trailing from her lower lip to her jaw by wiping it as she fell from the couch.

'My God!You'Re bleeding!'Anis rushed to her friend that was now panting frantically and clutching her stomach tightly.

'Do you…'she tried to regain her stance by supporting herself on Anis' shoulder
''… trust me? ''

''Of course I trust you,bu-'

'Then let me be!' Nefeli cut the pinkette,the look on her eyes stern. 'There's nothing you can do…' she whimpered as she repositioned herself back up on the sofa. 'Let me be…'she whispered before passing out.
