Hey, Butterflies! I'm back with Chapter 18! I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter! Now we find out where Anonymous has sent the Saturdays! Here's Chapter 18: Questions

The December air blows my hair out of my face. I never did get it cut; maybe I can have Fisk do that later. Right now, our main concern should be finding Mom. If I remember correctly, we are looking for the Garick School of Ballet in Atlanta, but I have no clue where in the city that is. Doc calls all of over and tells us that we cannot get separated. Atlanta, he tells us, is a large and busy city that isn't exactly known for being home to the world's nicest people, Doyle asks if any place is known for being home to the world' nicest people, which earns him a glare from Doc. I admire how Doyle has stuck around even though we already found Drew, I appreciate it. Note to self: tell Doyle that I appreciate him staying with us. I don't think he hears that enough.

As a family- minus the cryptids who stayed in the airship, we walk the streets of Atlanta according to our GPS, and Doc and Doyle keep Zak and me in their eyesight at all times. I wonder why that is, but I dare not ask. I'll probably be able to find something about it on the internet later anyways.

A very long walk later, we approach a nice looking building and walk in. The receptionist asks what she can do for us. Doc says he's here to meet with Ballet Mistress Indigne Albright. The receptionist checks over some dates and shakes her head, saying she must have accidentally put him down for next week and that Indigne has already gone home for her winter break. Doc nods and thanks the receptionist. She asks if he wants to reschedule his meeting to after the break, and he says no. Then we head out and make our way to the airship.

Back on the airship, Komodo and I are in the computer room, and we are talking as I look up Ballet Mistress Indigne Albright at the Garick School of Ballet. No home address or phone number is given for obvious reasons, but I am able to find her work email. I open up a draft and type of a quick email. Komodo reads over it and offers some edits, although I struggle to understand a good portion of what he says; I really need to talk to Zak to see if there is anything I can do to get my connection with Komodo back. Once I proofread and edit the email, I send it and hope that Indigne checks her work email. Then we leave the computer room and join the others for a movie night.

As we are all gathered in the living room to watch a movie, I realize that this is our first time ever doing this since I arrived back in May. I saw the Saturdays together everyday, but I've never known of them doing anything like this before. I shouldn't wish away the moment, though. I sit down on the floor with Zak and Komodo and watch the movie. I don't think I've seen this one, so I'm excited to watch it.

After the movie, I hurry back to the computer room with Komodo and check for a reply from Indigne. Sure enough she has responded. Her email is nothing elaborate, but it gets the point across. It reads:

Dear Ms. Van Rook,

I am pleased to learn that you are interested in Garick School of Ballet. It is such a welcoming community, and I think that you would enjoy attending GSB. However, we are currently on our winter break until January 6, but you are more than welcome to stop by after that. If you have anymore questions, feel free to send them to me, and I will answer them as soon as I am able to.

Happy holidays,

Indigne Albright

I shake my head. That it not what I wanted to get, but at least I got a reply. I have no clue what I'm going to tell Anonymous, however, and I'm starting to worry. Hopefully sending her an email counts. It should, right?

"Psst, Zak, we need to talk," I whisper a while later. Zak looks at me groggily; I woke him up apparently.

"What is it, Lily?" he asks.

"It's about Kur."

"Not now, Lily. Can't this wait until the morning?"

"No!" Zak rolls his eyes (and his head along with them) and turns on his bedside lamp. Then he motions for me to sit down on his bed, so I make my way over to his bed and sit down. "I need to know something." Zak gives me a confused stare. "My powers, I've been told, are meant to equal and oppose Kur's, but I don't understand how. The original hosts died before Kur."

"I don't know, Lily. Just let me go back to sleep."

"Zak, listen to me. This is serious. If my powers are meant to take down Kur, then why didn't they do so the first time?"

"I don't know. Maybe they're supposed to do it in the future?" Although his guess was made in a state of sleepiness, it makes sense.

"But will there be a next time?"

"If they find a way to bring Argost back, there will be." I tense up when Zak says this. Bringing Argost back is my worst nightmare, but if people are really trying to bring him back, I have a major problem. "Now, please, just let me sleep." I shake my head and tell him I have one more question. "What else?"

"I'm losing my connection to Komodo. This didn't start happening until after we resurrected you. How do I keep it from disappearing altogether?" Zak shrugged.

"I know as much as you do, Lily. Now go to bed."

"Goodnight, Zak. I love you," I say as I stand up and leave the room. As I'm walking away, I think I hear Zak mumble that he loves me too. I smile. I really do love my brother, whether or not he knows it.


That concludes Chapter 18! I hope you all enjoyed it, even if not much happened. I'll have Chapter 19 up as soon as I can. Oh, by the way, Garick School of Ballet is NOT a real ballet school, so unfortunately you can't attend classes there. Anyways, thank you all so much reading! Don't forget to follow, favorite, and review! I love you all so much!
