Chapter Twenty-Two
Megan
"So did you get any powers from your father?" James was asking Megan. Both of them were sitting in ETKOL's courtyard.
"Not that I know of," Megan responded shyly.
"Do you know anything about your past life?" James pestered.
"Bits and pieces," Megan answered.
"We're back!" Albus's voice sounded.
"Did you succeed?" Grant asked. James and Megan both ran inside.
"No," B.W. stated grimly.
"No," Echo echoed.
"Who was that?" Three asked, looking around wildly.
"Echo," Five explained. "We met her on the island."
"On the island," Echo repeated with a longing look.
"Will she always repeat us?" Megan asked.
"Kurt and I were making something in case we ever met her," Grant responded. He rummaged through his pockets. Eventually, he pulled out a small silver disc. "Echo come here." She approached him cautiously. He presses the silver disc against her skin and it sunk in.
"Thank you," Echo stated. Then she passed out.
"We should send her to Madam Pomfrey," Davante stated. He started to mutter. When he was done, Echo was gone.
"Can you guys send down Megan?" Nine asked. Megan started to walk down towards the dungeons.
"Why do you need me?" she asked him once they returned to the group.
"We know why Primordial Chaos wanted you," Two explained. It looked like she had been crying. Her eyes were all red and puffy. "He needs you-" Before she could finish, she burst into tears.
"He needs you as his host," Tac finished. "Either you or ETKOL's brother."
Megan was taken aback by this news. It was like a sucker punch to her stomach. "Who else knows?" she asked, not conveying any emotion.
"Only us," One responded. "Is there anyone else that you want to know?"
"James," Megan immediately answered, unsure as to why. "And also Lix." She felt like Lix should know because they were in the same boat. They were both girls with so much power, yet spent so much of their lives not knowing about it.
"Can you send down James and Lix now!" Nine yelled up. They all waited for them to join.
"What do you need?" Lix asked.
"Megan wanted you two to know something," ETKOL explained.
"Primordial Chaos needs me as his host," Megan stated.
"I can understand why you wanted to tell Lix, but why tell me?" James asked.
"I have no clue why James," Megan answered, turning a nearly unnoticeable shade of pink.
"One of the sons of Harry Potter, I can't see any better reason," Two stated, noticing Megan blushing. "Any idea on when the Serpentine will attack?"
"They gave me a week to think about it," ETKOL stated.
"Probably to condition the Clover monster," Nine commented.
"So can we go?" Megan asked.
"Sure," ETKOL responded.
They all walked up the stairs where Four was waiting. "Tonight we are acting like normal girls," Four told the girls.
"And do what exactly?" Two asked.
"Oh come on Two. Don't tell me you have never had a sleepover before," Four whined.
"I think that you are the only one Four," Megan stated.
"Well I did have a sleepover once," Lix admitted. "It ended when the pipes burst." She gave a nervous chuckle.
"Where will it be?" Tac asked.
"Here of course," Four answered.
"Did the others agree to this?" Two asked.
"Both the other girls and Grant agreed," Four confirmed.
"It would be nice to take a break for a while," Two admitted.
"Yeah," Four squealed.
