Chapter Four: Discovery
"I wonder how long dad will stay with us for." wondered Fiona.
"It has to be for a good time." replied Fiona. "He's been gone for over a month now."
As the siblings got home, they were greeted by a familiar tone.
"Dad!" said the two as they ran to their father to embrace him.
"How are you dad? What did you do at the site? Did you have fun there?" asked the two with excitement.
"Well kidos." said their father. "I'm doing just fine, and I had a lot of fun there, and most of the excavating was on stones."
"We're so glad to see you dad." said Fiona.
"I'm glad to see you too Fiona." replied their father. "Oh, I almost forgot, I brung gifts for you two."
"You did!" said the two.
"Yes, I did." replied their father as hey gave them two odd shaped stones, the one he gave Whyatt was shaped like an oval, and Fiona's stones was shaped like a triangle.
"Where did you get these?" asked Whyatt.
"Well, while I was unearthing some ancient stones, I noticed a faint blue and yellow glow, interested by what it could be, I dug it out, and for finding it, the person in charge let me keep them."
"Wow, these are great dad, thanks." said Fiona
"Hey sis." said Whyatt "These look a lot like the stone Kyle showed us."
"Yeah, it kind of does." agreed Fiona. "Should we call him."
"I think we should." replied Whyatt. "Sorry we have to leave so soon dad, we have to see our friend."
"That's o.k." said their father. "Normally I'd stay for three weeks before leaving again, but this time I'll be staying for a whole year."
"Really, a whole year!" said an excited Whyatt.
"Yeah, really." replied their father. "Now go meet up with your friend."
"O.k, bye dad." said the two as they went out the door.
After they left, Whyatt called Kyle to meet them at the park, and soon the three were discussing their new discovery.
"So, there are more of these stones." said Kyle.
"How many more?" asked Whyatt.
"I'm not really sure." replied Fiona. "All we know now that there are three."
"So, you three have one too." said an unfamiliar voice.
"What." said Kyle as two people approached them.
"Hey, I know you too." said Fiona.
"How did you know them?" asked a confused Kyle.
"There from the homeroom next door." replied Fiona. "The girls name is Krista Cane, and the boy with her is Rudy Matel."
"Yeah we've met before." said Krista. "You're Fiona Qwill, that's your brother Whyatt, and your boyfriend, Kyle Carsly."
"He's not my boyfriend." said an annoyed Fiona.
"Sure he's not." laughed Krista.
"Never mind all of that." interrupted Kyle. "You said we had something too."
"Oh yeah, we have these." replied Krista as she and Rudy showed them their stones, Krista's stone looked like a square, and Rudy's looked like a diamond. Then the three showed Rudy and Krista their stones.
"So how and when did you find your stones?" asked Kyle curiously.
"O.k then I'll go first." said Rudy.
"It was only three days ago." began Rudy. "I was walking my dog, Rover, in the woods, normally we'd go to the park, but for some reason, he kept tugging me to go to the woods, so we went."
"Then what happened?" asked Kyle.
"For about ten minutes, everything was going fine, then for some reason he ran off to a random spot then started digging." replied Rudy. "Then when he came back to me, he had a weird shaped stone in his mouth."
"So that's how you got your stone." said Fiona.
"O.k, it's my turn." said Krista.
"My discovery was three days ago as well, in the same woods Rudy was in. I was doing some bird watching, and the bird I was checking flew into its nest, so I climbed after it, and once I reached the top, I saw it."
"Saw what?" asked Whyatt.
"I saw an odd shaped stone inside inside the bird's nest." said Krista. "A little while after coming down, I ran into Rudy."
"So we wondered if there were more of these stones, and who possessed them." added Rudy.
Then it happened, as Rudy finished speaking, the stones started to glow and the five were enclosed in a mysterious barrier, and then they all passed out."
