Foreseen [An Elijah Mikaelson Love Story]

Chapter 60

I was excited for the turn in our search. Firstly, because it seemed I was right and there was indeed something weird happening. And secondly, because I sensed all the secrets would be revealed soon. It seemed everyone shared my excitement. We all had something to hope for.

It must have been around noon where we reached Sparta. We would be hosted by Andrew, Sofia and Helen's uncle, Leonidas. He greeted us with a huge smile and a huge hug for everyone.

"Come on kids, get inside!" He encouraged us. It had started to get really hot. "Are you hungry?" He asked, once we were all inside. It was much cooler.

"Yes!" We replied in unison.

After a delicious lunch, we decided it would be best to get rest for a little, before we continued our research. Andrew, Sofia and Helen had made a list of places where we could go in order to find some more clues about what we were exactly looking for. It was around six in the afternoon when we started our quest.

"Seriously, do you think this is going to end well?" Steven asked me during our way to one of the suggested places.

"Define well." I replied back.

"Well, do you think we will actually find something?"

"Yes, I do." I replied with confidence. We continued our way in silence.

The first place we visited was an ancient temple. There wasn't much evidence, according to me, so we continued with the next one. The next one was an old house, like Vladimir and Milena's. Although we spent a lot of time searching it, there wasn't anything at all to help us. The third one was an old tavern. It was called "The Spartan's Trap". I couldn't understand how this could be linked with what we were looking for. But, I understood when I saw the sign outside. It had exactly the same symbol as the talisman. A helmet with a flame. We exchanged looks.
The inside was simple. Simple wooden tables with wooden chairs. Little decoration. Somebody would say that it fitted its title. But, it seemed abandoned.

"Hello?" I asked. No response. "Is anyone here?" I continued. In the mean time, Sofia translated in Greek, in case the owner of the tavern didn't know English. Again no response. But, I felt there was somebody there.

"It seems there is no one here. We should probably go." Iphigenia concluded. Some agreed with her.

"No." I replied dryly. The others looked at me.

"This is what they want us to believe. I feel someone is there and they do not want us here. This place hides more secrets than it seems. And I'm not leaving until I learn what it has to do with our fathers." I said sitting on a chair.
I didn't expect the others to stay with me, but they did.

"Ok, whatever." Liam said throwing his body on a chair. Immediately, the chair broke and Liam hit the floor with a loud noise. We burst into laughter. It was so funny!!! I couldn't stop laughing. Out of the blue, an old lady appeared with a furious expression on her face. Our laughter was cut short.

"Kalimera." I said. I knew only a few Greek words, I couldn't speak fluently. She said something I couldn't understand. But, her tone revealed her anger. I wondered if she was angry about us breaking her chair. Helen tried to calm her down, but she just wouldn't listen.

"What's happening?" I asked Sofia.

"She wants us to leave."

"Why?"

"I don't know, she doesn't want us to be here."
I shied. "Can you translate?" I asked Sofia. She nodded. Ok, let's do this. I thought. "Excuse me." I said catching the woman's attention. She turned to me even more furious. Sofia translated my words, in the mean time. "I know it's not the right time. And we are sorry for breaking your chair. I assure you, we didn't do this on purpose. We will pay for the damage."
