A/N:So I didn't have that much homework and I really wanted to write another chapter. I hope you guys are loving the story. Please comment and review. Also, I have a question for you guys. Do you guys know why each book has been called what they have been called? I will give you guys the first one. The first is called The Missing Key, because Emma becomes missing in the end of the book as well as Zhalia being unable to be with her sister. Now do you know what the other two mean? Love Ya!
"Anyway," Emma places her hand on the person's shoulder. "You better show her who you are because somehow she is going to have to find you. This guy is going to help you save me hopefully."
Emma giggles a little as the screen somewhat shifts up to the person in the cloak. The person slowly places their hands on the top of the cloak as they lower it with everyone in the room completely silent. Zhalia stares at the one person she would never guessed to be friends with Emma. He has the black hair with light ocean blue eyes that she remembers seeing the first time her team and her ran into them. She stands there with a slight smile on his face.
"Hello, Baby sis." Zachary speaks through the necklaces. "I bet you didn't see this coming."
Zhalia stares at Zachary, standing next to her sister.
"What?" Zhalia whispers in shock and surprise as well. "Zachary..."
"Hey Zhalia. So the reason we didn't tell was well, we were trying to trick Luna. I mean we just couldn't tell you. We wanted to..." Zachary glances at Emma, who slowly shakes her head at him. "But we couldn't." Zachary replies after Zhalia says his name aloud. "Sorry." He shrugs to her with a grin on his face. "You can get after us later, I guess."
"Anyway," Emma punches him in the arm. "I know that you are really going to kill me for keeping these secrets from you, but he is the oldest of us. He already knows what is happening. I mean you knew somethings, because well I had to tell you. I was your protector, and you know i hate secrets." Emma giggles a little as she coughs a little, hiding it from the screen. "But... The oldest is the only one that truly knows what will happen to me, the key." Emma stutters the last three words through the picture. "He just had to listen to understand what was really going to happen to us." Emma looks up at Zhalia, staring at her like she is looking at Zhalia at that moment when they recorded this.
"So we decided that the only way for me to protect Emma from Luna and our uncle was to take their side. So I was sort of like her, protector if you think about it." He smirks at Emma as she grins at him with another punch behind that. "That is why when we had Emma with us while she was human, I took care of her. I never let Luna go near her. She is mine to protect. Also, Luna doesn't care about any of us. She really just wanted Emma to die." Zachary explains to Zhalia.
"Zachary..." Emma coughs in after he says that. "We know that Luna hates us. Get over it."
"Come on. It still hurts." Zachary shrugs to her.
Emma rolls her eyes at him as she smiles on the picture. Zachary glances at something behind the picture but no one else can see what he is looking at. Zhalia glances around the room, but she doesn't know where they are or what they are looking at.
"Zhalia..." Emma says her name before she coughs up blood into her hand, unable to hide it this time behind the screen. "We will have to go soon. They are getting close to the secret. The true secrets hidden within our family." Emma coughs again.
"Emma..." Zhalia whispers in fear. "What are you talking about?"
"What ever you do Zhalia? I am warning you to not go to the Queen of the Forest. She has it out against me. Go to Jasmine." Emma shouts to her sister as the picture starts to break up. "Zhalia! Jasmine knows the way! She is the one who knows me before the Waterfall! She is the one that I trained to protect you! Find Jasmine! Please Zhalia!"
"We have to go!" Zachary yells as Emma coughs again before screams erupt into the picture's background.
"Good-bye Zhalia! I love you!" Emma screams into the picture as it stops on her fake smiling okay face on the screen.
Zhalia places her hand on Emma's face before looking at Jasmine. Jasmine stares at Emma with tears in her eyes. She places her hand in her pocket before pulling out the one titan that Emma ordered her to only use if she ever saw a picture of her screaming her name. Jasmine never understood that until now. She stares at the amulet before lifting it up in her hand.
"I call upon you, Silverhunter!" Jasmine yells allowed in the open.
A white beast appears in front of the group. It's terrified, scary face stares at the other people in the room. He turns his head towards Jasmine who summoned him. He sits on his hid-legs as he stares into her eyes. Everyone in the room stare at the titan that Jasmine just called upon.
"That is the Professor's titan..." Eathon announces to the group.
"How did you get a titan from the Professor?" Dante and Lok question Jasmine as they step back away from her.
"Emma gave to me a couple of years ago after the man you call Professor died." Jasmine replies to the group. "Silverhunter, do you remember Emma?"
In seconds, his ears jump up and starts to look around the room in excitement. He soon stares at the picture of Emma above the necklaces. He lowers his head in sadness like he knows what has happened to her. Jasmine and the others watches him lay there, staring at Emma's picture with sorrow creeping in his eyes. Zhalia stares at his eyes as she spots the tears falling down his eyes like Dante's tears for her. They are so hidden that no one sees them except the love ones that want to cry as well. She knows what he is feeling because she has also lost Emma so many times that she hopes that this will be the last time that she has to search for her sister. She wants Emma back just as much as this titan wants her back. He soon looks back at Jasmine, waiting for her command. The tears disappear into his coat of fur but Zhalia can still see them wanting to stay there and show how much he really cares for the person that has impacted his life.
"We are looking for her." Jasmine points to Emma's picture. "Can you help us?"
Silverhunter stands up on the table as he sniffs the air while his eyes are closed. He jumps off the table as everyone steps back to let him search for Emma. Zhalia stares at this Titan that Emma gave Jasmine. She wonders how Emma was able to get this titan from the Professor? She also wonders what Emma means by more secrets hidden within the family? Silverhunter howls aloud towards the ceiling as he darts out of the door.
"Come on!" Lok yells as they all start to run after Silverhunter.
Silverhunter sniffs all the way to the front doors. He sits there with his tongue sticking out with excitement. Jasmine and the others stare at the titan as Metz starts to place his hand on the door's handle. He pulls the door open to see one figure in the doorway. The cloak blocks their face as the titan sniffs the person and sits next to him for some reason.
Zhalia looks at the figure to notice that same black hair from before, "Big brother..."
Zachary pulls the hood down as he places his hand on the titans head. "Hey Zhalia. I see that you got Emma and I's message. Now it is my turn to tell you what happened to us that day and then you can help me save Emma."
Everyone stares at the two siblings staring at each other. Dante holds Zhalia's hand as Sophie stays close to Lok. Jasmine glances over Zachary before realizing what Emma meant by do not trust the Queen of the Forest.
"We can't trust my mother." Jasmine says out of the blue.
Zachary looks at her as he bows towards her. "Hello Princess Jasmine. I have heard much about you. I also see that you took care of my titan." Zachary pets Silverhunter as he slowly walks into Huntik Headquarters to explain almost everything to Zhalia and the others. "But I really need to start at the beginning to explain the reasoning behind Emma and I's agreement between each other." Zachary looks at Zhalia. "You might not like what you hear."
"Tell me anyway." Zhalia orders him as they sit back down in that same room, they just exited out of to chase Silverhunter.
"Well," Zachary rubs his head. "It all begins when Emma turned 5 years old, the day she was informed that she was going to be the Key." Zachary begins as he stares at Zhalia with a worried as well as a caring look on his face towards his sister.
Zhalia sits there as she wanders, 'what really happened to you brother to make you side with Emma and not Luna?' as he starts to tell Zhalia the reason behind all of this happening.
