Secrets Within the Resounding Sound

Chapter 18

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"Are you two ready for this?" I squeezed Jax and Juni's hands and took a deep breath. The three of us were standing in the deserted library, Jax on my left and Juni on my right. The lights were still off and the only light that illuminated the area was the moons fragile rays.

"I think I might pee myself from the excitement." Speechless, I turned to look at Juni and just stared at her. Jax gave a bark of laughter. Juni shrugged, grinning. "I drank a lot of coffee this morning."

"I did not need to know that, but okay."

My father appeared from the shadows and smiled at me. Juni watched him with bright silver eyes, her face a mask of indifference. Janus waved his right hand and the world in front of us shimmered and split open. The rend sat in between two book shelves, it shimmered golds and silvers. Pinks and teals sliced through it to make it seem like we were looking into a nebula.

"Go through the rend, and you will meet your aunts." He took a step back, his own form already beginning to fade away. "Be careful of what you say." He warned, "I cannot save you once you cross over."

"Let's go meet my aunts." I muttered, staring into the rend to the other world. Jax, Juni and I took a step forward and walked through space and time until we did not know where we were any longer.

I tightened my grips on the hands in mine. "A hand to take," the voice was faint, lost in the echos of the world's.

"A grip to break." I felt Juni and Jax's hands slide from mine, panicking, I tightened my hands, using all of my might to hold those two to me.

"A wish to steal." I felt invisible hands on me, searching my pockets, touching me. I resisted the urge to squirm.

"A wish to kill," this one seemed to be whispered directly into my ear, the image of Negal flashing before my eyes, blood everywhere.

"A hand to take is a soul to break." The world became clear everything pristine.

Jax, Juni and I were jolted into a room, my hands were clasped around their wrists. The room was large, pastel colors were everywhere, the walls were a light green, the floors a light pink. In the middle of the room was a small table, it was white with iron wrought legs. Seated around the table were three beautiful women. One had long hair the color of the morning sun, bright red tips. The one in the middle had shorter hair, the color of the daytime, a bright blonde. The third and final one had short hair, so much like my own, a blueish black of the night sky.

"Hello nephew." The first one with hair the color of morning acknowledged. She continued sitting where she was, one leg crossed over the other. She was wearing a long flowing dress a pale cream color. Her eyes were a bright reddish hue. She smiled at me, her lips a pale red color. I was guessing this was the oldest of the triplets, Clotho.

"We've been waiting." The second woman warned. Her sun bright hair reached just passed her shoulders. She was seated in the middle of the three, her long legs stretched before her, her arms crossed over her chest. Her eyes were pinpricks of gold, one eyebrow was raised as if she was waiting for me to comment back. She was wearing a pair of jean shorts and a teal tank top. This one was the second oldest, Lachesis.

"It's so boring waiting," the third woman groaned. She was shorter than the rest, swinging her legs back and forth, her feet not touching the ground. Her short black hair continued to fall into her eyes so she blew it away, covering her purple eyes with every breath. She was wearing skinny jeans and a dark red hoodie. She had to be the youngest, Atropos. She looked over the the first woman. "Clotty, I'm bored, let's get this over with."
