Thank you luisa mendoza and MissIndependent233 for the reviews :) This is my first fan fiction so I was a bit worried whether anyone would like it, well I hope you like this chapter too.
Her car had been left in the car service yesterday, so she had no other choice but to walk to the abandoned house. It wouldn't normally be that much of a problem, but today the weather wasn't too pleasing for her taste. She pulled the collar of her coat the highest it would go while the wind whipped her hair. She hurried her feet, eager to get away from the cold not that it helped much. It was a losing battle with an invisibly potent force, almost like walking underwater. On an ordinary day the walk would have taken a mere twenty minutes, but today it took nearly twice as long, so when she arrived by the massive, worn out door that guided the house, she was nothing but glad. Her frozen fingers, took some convincing before obeying the command of knocking on the wooden entry. Not thirty seconds went by and the door was swung open, with not too delighted Jake on the other side.
'Somebody took their time.'
Faye signed, as she brushed past her former boyfriend.
'I'm sorry, poor, sweet Cassie must have bored you to death with her problems, no wonder you're in such a foul mood', she replied annoyed.
She was too freezing to engage in a proper conversation, instead making it look like she was keen on getting started, she moved to where the other members of the circle sat, but in reality she just wanted to be closer to the fireplace. She sat next to Adam, jealous that Diana got the good spot by the hissing flames when in fact it was her who was so utterly cold and so should be sitting there. Not that she'd say anything. Faye disliked displaying any forms of weakness, even if it was something as primal as being able to feel your extremities again.
'We need to find the other crystals', spoke up Adam, ending any chatter previously present.
'Eben can strike at any moment and with the demons inside him, his power is unpredictable', preached Cassie.
Faye's teeth chattered and she let her gaze leave the warmth of the fire. She let them wonder to Jake. He sat with him arms outstretched on the frame of the king sized chair, with a serious expression hunting his lips. How she wished she could cuddle in those arms.
'...I'd be a good idea if we began our search tonight' continued the blonde.
That bought her back to the present.
'What? The crystals could be ANYWHERE.'
'Exactly, that's why we need to start soon', spoke Diana
'We do know our parents had them last, so it's most likely that they remain hidden somewhere close to them' pressed on Adam.
'My house is out, dad's home tonight'.
'So is mine, why don't we try the boathouse and your house Faye?' asked Melissa.
'Ugh I guess. But seriously? How cheesy would it be if the crystals were right under our noses the whole time, I think they have more brains that to do that' ended Faye, shivering.
Jake sent her a curious look.
'Okay fine, me, Melissa and Adam will search the boathouse', chipped in Diana,
That left her, Jake and Cassie going to hers. Wonderful.
