Lily couldn't hear the Sniper's footsteps outside her and her brother's room, but she knew that Nanawas there for sure. And there were no secrets possible to keep from her either... Unless...
Lily murmured a soft Glow spell and scribbled on a piece of paper, which she tossedto her brother.
Kass picked it up as it bounced off his head. "Ow! Hey-"
"Read!" she hissed. "I mean," she said louder for Nana to hear, "I read a whole book on my own! Er, I mean read!" Lily winked.
Bro, I think that I know where the Silver Sword are. Remember the clan that came through and everyone was scared out of their wits? Aisen Ghosts! I think that they're them!
Kass nodded. "So?"
Lily frowned and scribbled on another paper. "Well, let's go find them."
Kass shook his head. "I'm not so sure..I mean, there're things in the night, like Floateye, Panthers..."
"Fine, then we'll go... Let's see..."
"Nana?" Lily called.
The Sniper was standing near the door, her bow strung, as she always was. Nana was always suspecting an attack!
"Just two more days, then I can go..." Nana murmured, then spun around. "Huh?"
"Nana, what are you saying?" Lily asked innocently.
"So I can go back to my clan, er, nothing," Nana said politely.
Lily nodded. "Well, me n' Kass are just going to go outside real quick..." Lily's voice trailed off.
Nanna shookher head. "Sure, but I'm coming with you."
Lily whined. "But we don't want grown-ups chasing us every-"
"I'm coming, or you're staying."
Lily nodded, knowing it was best not to argue with a well-armed Sniper. But again, the gears turned...
