Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 4: the council

      Muriel

        Before Cyan headed for the door, Leirum reached out and touched my hand and I felt a surge of power leaving my body and was transferred to him making my eyes wide.

         Before I could process what's going on, he backed off though, and as soon as he sat down, everyone kept their silence and I figured that I should just follow.

        The large door made of ivory was soon opened by Cyan and out there stood a man, clad in an armor and a sword hung at his side in its sheathe. Behind him were other guys wearing the same metal plates that glinted in the light.

         The one at the very front was domineering and you'll know at first glance that he was some sort of a general. He had this aura of power around him and he had lines beside his mouth and eyes. His dark red eyes however were piercing and scary.

        "Ah, Lord Cyan." The guy said and brushed back his mop of green hair before he shook hands with the cyan-haired teen.

         "Keep silent at all times." Rex, the kid I had an argument a while ago warned me and Kevin. His eyes like his face were serious and everyone in the room looked the same.

        Kevin and I looked at each other before shrugging and deciding to just follow what they say. Basing on their actions, they weren't pleased by the appearance of the visitor.

          "Please do come in General Klurk." Cyan humbly said and backpedaled to give way for the general who did so and went straight for us.

         He stood in front of everyone, with neither a smile or any enthusiasm at all. His eyes however were dark with... Was that despise?

          His gaze landed on Leirum and Violet with a quirk of his eyebrow. "So these are the humans?" He asked while gesturing at the two who sat together. My jaws dropped at that. What the hell is happening?

       I blinked and when I opened my eyes, I was more stupefied than ever for in front of me sat me! Hey! That was supposed to be where Leirum was sitting a second ago!

        And where Violet should have been, sat a little Kevin. Shiznits. My vision is playing on me.

         Kevin, the real Kevin who sat beside me looked just as dumbfounded as I was, but I was more stupefied when he didn't look like my little brother at all. He was Violet!

      I heard Leo chuckle and I looked at him questioningly because of it. He pointed at me and I looked down, only to find my clothes different. They were of gold, silver and royal blue. The one that Leirum was wearing before.

         "Lord Leirum. The high court calls all of you for being involved with the case of the humans." General Klurk announced, with a glint of mischief in his eyes clearly telling me that he was up to no good. I gritted my teeth. And I knew that I hated him that instant.

         'Muriel. Don't speak. Just nod calmly and stand up. Leirum and I will do the rest." A voice inside my head whispered and I was dead sure that it was the voice of Violet.

          Violet, I mean Rex---Agh! I mean Violet impersonating Rex winked at me. I sighed, feeling their eyes on me.

          I calmly stood up, at least I tried and nodded at everyone. They understood and all stood up at once. Kevin in the form of Violet was guided by Leo and Rex having that playful grin on his face once again, bounded to me as we made our way out.

          Now that I noticed, Leirum and Violet who impersonated me and Kevin made our eyes the color of cerulean blue.

           The General though was grinning like a dog. "Seize the humans." He ordered his men as soon as we got out. My eyes widened and I felt my fists clench.
