Emerald Secret {OC Insert}

Wolves and Emeralds

I barely register Aaron picking up the emerald and pocketing it, I was too busy discussing with Es about who, and why the person would choose to use emeralds.

"It isn't well known, and the only books that have written about are hard to find," Es tells me, "so our person likely has had someone tell them about it."

"Who though,"  I ask, "it might be someone who have relatives that know about powerful witchcraft."

Lucinda, Kim, and Garroth sit in the corner of the boiler room. Suddenly, a loud crash startles all of us.

"What was that?" Aaron asks.

"It sounds like someone kicked through the door." Lucinda replies softly.

 "Eeek!" Kim squeals, "is the murderer coming to get us?"

"Shush Kim, calm down!" Garroth quickly stops her panic.

"I'm gonna go check it out." I say, "you guys want to come?"

"Right behind you baby sister." Garroth instantly responds.

"Same." Lucinda follows suit.

"Me too." Aaron agrees.

"Are you guys crazy? That's what he wants!" Kim squeaks.

I'm already walking away, Lucinda, Garroth, and Aaron following. Distantly, I hear a "wait for me!" from Kim.

I enter the room and duck behind a large stack of boxes, the others following me.

Two wolves are sniffing around the place, a human girl is with them. She wore a hood, a lock of white hair over one eye, and the other, bright emerald green.

"Oh" Es mumbles, "forever potions."

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I'll tell you when we're out of this mess." Es hisses.

"Oh my Irene! Those are wolves!" Lucinda whispers

"Should we shoo them away?" Garroth asks.

"Garroth, wolves are not birds," I whisper, "they have teeth, and can eat you."

"Nevermind." Garroth says hurriedly.

"Those wolves look like they could tear us apart." Lucinda says softly.

"We're dead!" Kim shrieks.

I put a finger to my lips in a shush gesture. Kim quiets down.

"Calm down, keep quiet! Let's just hope they don't pick up on our scent." Aaron tells us all. He seems to know a lot about wolves.

Garroth decides that it's the perfect moment to sneeze.

The wolves turn towards us.

"We're so dead! We're so dead! We're so dead! We're so dead! We're so dead!" Kim whimpers.

Just then, the girl waves to the wolves, she turns around and goes. The wolves follow.

We all give a collective sigh of relief.

"That was... way too close." Lucinda says.

"Tell me about it." Aaron replies.

"I'm so sorry. I almost turned us into dog food. Uhh Kim?" Garroth says concerned.

Kim turned around, her face very pale.

"Kim!?" Garroth asks a bit louder, running towards her.

"We could've... died!?" Kim finally seems to be processing the events that just happened.
