Silver Eyes: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Mike

The four of them met in the basement. Mike had been here for a while now waiting for them to arrive. The female Forsaken had spent the entire time looking at him with apparent curiosity...or maybe it was discontent? Mike didn't know, it was hard to get any emotions from those red eyes.

"Nothing?" Cecelia asked the rest.

Aaron, Silena and Mike shook their head grimly.

"Not even at her hiding spot on the beach." Silena replied.

Cecelia frowned. "Arkane is missing from the stables too. Their rooms?"

Aaron shook his head. "Their closets are completely cleaned out. Not even a note left behind."

Mike grit his teeth. "It's as if they never existed."

No one spoke up in defiance. Mike hated that they agreed with him- that Theresa and Aidan were so easily forgotten. Aaron's reaction and expression was pretty much the same as Mike, partly sadness, partly anger and partly worry.

Silena had gotten silent ever since she went to check on the two of them this morning only to find them gone. Cecelia-

Something must have snapped when Zeddrick died because her temper started flaring much faster than it did before. Her reaction- a mixture of worry and anger (mostly anger) seemed to imply some sort of 'closer' connection between her and Aidan.

But Mike didn't have to worry. Her fury and protectiveness was the same as Mike's when it came to Silena or Theresa; purely sibling reaction. Right now Cecelia was worried for her little brother and after Zed-

"So what so we do?" Aaron offered. "Try and find them? They had a whole night head start and with Arkane, they could be anywhere right now?"

"I bet she knows." Cecelia hissed through his teeth.

Everyone turned to where Cecelia was looking; the girl Forsaken imprisoned in a glass box.

"You talking to me?" The girl spoke up. Her voice sent tingles down Mike's spine.

"Yeah I'm talking to you." Cecelia stormed forward and stood in front of the glass box. "Where's my little brother you stupid sack of-"

"Calm down Cecelia." Aaron had to pull her back.

The girl chuckled. That sound made every hair on Mike's body stand. "I don't know where he is. Maybe he left with Lucian and the rest?"

"Where would they have gone?!" Cecelia shouted.

"I'm not a tracker. If you wanted one; you should've asked Hunter. You know, the tall black dude with black eyes and his hair tied in dreadlocks? He's the best tracker we got. Too bad her left-"

Cecelia slammed her fists into the glass wall. "Shut up! First you Forsaken took Zed and you take away Aidan. All you Forsaken are horrible, horrible creatures!"

The girl stared long and hard at Cecelia; looking more terrifying than Cecelia could ever pull off. She got to her feet and stumbled for a moment before regaining her balance. Mike noticed how pale she looked; her face almost completely drained of colour.

And then he noticed the glass box or rather, what it lacked.

There were no air-holes, no ventilation. Her only air supply was within the box itself and that meant she was going to run out of oxygen eventually. Could she even die of suffocation?

Mike grit his teeth. He guessed that whoever deviced that prison was wondering the same thing too. The only difference was that that person wanted to know if she could.

The girl turned her blood red eyes towards the room, surveying it and commiting it to memory (Mike assumed anyway) before finally training them on Cecelia. "Remember Greek Demigod, it was generalisation and discrimination that drove those two to leave. It was those exact things that caused the second Olympian War. If you start displaying those same traits." She snorted. "Well, then you shouldn't really complain about your 'brother'-" She air-qouted. "-Leaving."

Cecelia's anger seemed to quell with her words. She turned around slowly and left the basement.

"You should go after her." Mike told Aaron while watching the girl sit back down again.

"She'll be fine for a moment. She just needs air." Aaron turned to the girl. "Same for her. I don't like how she's being treated." Aaron whispered to the Avelyn Twins.

"Yeah me too." Mike agreed. Silena nodded silently as well.

"I'm sure Chiron wouldn't mind us sneaking off some food for her. We just need someone to give it to her every night, I don't think we could get away with anything but dinner.
