Chapter 11-Secerts Revealed
TP
Noel was heading to her room. She was deep in thought. She told her uncle about what had happen when she slept over at Rei's house. He told her that there might be a connection between the artworks and the Niwa family. The fact, Krad knew that Erin was a member of the Niwa family. It might be a sign that Dark's wing host is amongst the family. If he and Dark are from the Black Wings, the mean she and the rest of her family knows who Dark is. The Hiwatari family might have something to do with what going on as well.
However, if any of that was true. It would mean that she would be going against Erin and Dwayne. Noel did not want to believe it. Erin and she were becoming close friends. With Dwayne, she clearly is falling for him. There might be a chance that she and he could be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Noel's uncle told her not to do anything. Until, they could be sure if their theory was true. However, she could not do that. Whether if any of this was true or not, kept bothering Noel. So much so, she could not stand it.
She picked up her black hoodie. "I think I know a way I can find out. There is an artwork that who show me if Dwayne is Dark. I just hope that I am wrong"

I was on my way to meet Rei at the foundation in the park. We had not spoken to each other for five days. I understand that part of it was because. For, the first two days I was in bed. That was due to me being attack by Krad. After I return to school, I have been busy with catching up with the class work.
I also could have guess. Rei want to be supportive of Lawrence. Which, I could understand. Especially, since I am in a similar situation. In addition, he was being extra carful to avoid me. Therefore, Krad would not find opportunity to come after me.
I saw Rei standing near the railing, overlooking the view. She saw me approaching. She ran over and embraced me.
After I return it, she said "I am sorry, I have not come to visit you. With what had happen, Lawrence has been a little down"
"It is all right. I went through the same thing with Dwayne. It is not easy for them. Every little bit support will help"
We sat on a bench near the foundation. There was a moment of silence between the two of us. I could feel that something was bothering Rei.
"What is wrong, Rei? It looks as if you learn something horrible"
"It is not horrible. Still, I can not believe what my grandpa told me and Lawrence"
"You mean about Krad," I asked
She nodded. I could tell that she was a bit upset. I decided to pursue the issue.
"What did he tell you?"
"He said the Krad was a spirit of an artwork called the Black Wings. He is actually, the half of it. The other half is Dark"
"Oh, really, he seems very different from the Dark"
"Yeah, and to think that he is resting in side my brother, is very scary to me"
"Rei, I am so sorry. However, he did not attack you or your family. Heck, he did not even attack Noel"
"He attacked you" Rei said sad tone
"Well, there is reason for that" I muttered under my breath
"You have association with Dark," she said surprised
"What makes think that?" I asked nervously
"Grandpa told me and Lawrence that while our family is the wing hosts of Krad. The Niwa family is Dark's"
There is no way I could avoid it now. "Yes, Dwayne is Dark's wing host." I said
"Why did not you tell me this?" she asked in stunned and annoyed tone
"Cause I did not want you involved in this. Stealing artworks is very risky. My family could be in a lot of trouble with the law, if the police ever catch Dark. Not mention, how dangerous the artworks could be"
"What do you mean?" asked Rei
"Your grandpa did not tell you" I asked her
She shook her head. I stood up and walked around. I was trying to find the best way to explain it. I thought the best way to explain was to use the way Dark and Grandpa did. Once I did, Rei looked stunned.
"What you are saying is, the spirits of the artworks could cause damage whether they intend or not" said Rei
"Yes, it could be risky to be involved" I told her
"But why should you and Dwayne be the ones baring the responsibility. My ancestors were the ones who created the artworks in the first place," Rei said as she stamped the ground
"Well, my family did interrupt the ceremony"
"Still, we could help to you. Maybe we could find a way to have Krad to help," she suggested
"Krad hates Dark. If they get to close to each other, there is going to be a drag out fight" I respond
"How do you know?" she asked
"If you saw Dark's reaction when he learn it was Krad that attacked me. You would know how he feels about him," I told her in a sad tone, as I stuck my hands into my jean jacket.
"Will he come after Krad?" Rei inquired with a worried tone
"No, I asked not to. Knowing that Lawrence still has presence, when Krad takes over. I could not bare the thought of him getting hurt. Luckily, Dark understood that"
"Thanks Erin" said Rei "I only wish that there was a way that I could help you. In order, to pay back"
"I don't know your family is going to feeling if you are involved," I told her "No offend Rei; I do not think if there anyway you could help"
She became silence. I could not tell what she thinking. She finally said, "I can talk to my grandfather over this weekend"
"What do you mean?" I asked surprised
"We are leaving for the weekend. It will Lawrence can relax and find a way to handle what is going on" she replied
"That might be a good idea," I said, "Could you tell him; there are no hard feelings from my end. He is not the person to blame. Do not let it weight on his conscious"
"I will," she said as she gave me a hug
After we finished hugging, we said good-bye to each other. Then, we went off our separate ways.
I was about half way home. When there was the sound of sirens. Several police cars drove pass by quickly. There was also a news truck.
"What on earth is going on" I said aloud to myself, "Could it be that one of the artworks?"
I took off. Following the police, I would make it to the scene. If it was one of artwork, it was sudden.
There was a crowd around the museum. The police were getting into position. The news reporters began to give their reports.
I saw a group of girls that I went to school with. I walked over to them. To ask what was going on. They said that a warning letter had sent to the police about a half an hour ago. The name of it was the eye of spirit.
I remember seeing in one of the books the still in the cellar. It was a small staff with a clear crystal in the center. The strange thing was. The eye of spirit has no spirit. However, it had a unique power. It could look into and reveal a person soul or kind to person they really are.
In the wrong hands, it could cause some damage. Still, there was no sign that it was awaken or someone was using it. So why is there such hurry to steal it?
I guess I could asked Dark, when he finished. I mean, he would probably know what is going, However, I cannot shake off this feeling there is something more to this. All I can do now is to wait here, see what going to happen.
I waited patiently. Keeping an eye open to see when and where Dark would be showing up. It had been at least fifteen minutes. This just made me even more confused about what was going on. It might possible that someone else sent in the warning letter. However, what would be the reason?
I decide to head home and get answers there. When I heard rushed footsteps behind me. I turned and saw it was the hooded figure from the museum.
I knew something suspicious was going on. That person appears during the first heist. However, according to Dwayne, they did not appear during the second. Nor, the third heist that happen on Thursday evening, when Dark went after the necklace the Ocean Heart.
I followed that person. He went through a window that leads to the basement. One way or another, I was going to find out what problems that this person is going to create.
