Chapter 7 - ~Evelyn's Deal~

The stalker lead us to a house and signaled us to go inside. But the house was sketchy so we let the ghost go in first.

"This place doesn't have any traps here, right?" Isabela asked

"Yup" ?? said

The ghost led us to a room and sat down. She started making symbols with her hand like she was summoning something or someone. And after a few seconds, POOF a man appeared.

"Yes sister, you need anything? Wait, who are they," ??? asked

"They wanted help so I gave them that," ?? said

"Sigh" You're being so reckless, Evelyn" ??? said

"Well it's not like they can hurt me," Evelyn said annoyed

"But they...ugh why do you guys need help," ??? asked

"Uh well we're new in town, so we just need a place to stay," I lied

I could tell that they didn't believe a word I said and that they wanted the truth. But how could we give them that? If they found out that we weren't actual ghosts, then who knows what they'll do to us?! They might kill us, tell us to reveal ourselves, get kicked out of the city, or worse!

"Why don't we make a deal? You get something you want and I get something I want, fair" Evelyn said

"Hmm... what do we get," Marigold(Maybell) asked

"Well we won't say anything about you guys not being ghosts, and I'll even lead you to someone that used to be a friend of your father, the great Caspian!" Evelyn responded

"How did you know," I said

"Well, that's her secret! So do we have a deal," ??? said

"No, we first want to know your name and what you want," I said

"My name is Theodore, and we want the scroll of lost species, now do we have a deal?" Theodore answered

"THE SCROLL OF LOST SPECIES! Are you INSANE!!" Clover(Staria) shouted

"What's wrong with it?" Ethan(Cyrus) asked

"Well, it's filled with extinct dangerous creatures! Like gorgons and hydras, it's the most dangerous and protected scroll in all of Mysticalation! It is not to be touched or messed with!" Clover(Staria) said

"Well it's either you help us, or you're kicked out of Spiritia forever!" Evelyn said

"Heh...just letting you know if tell them that we're not ghosts, then we'll tell them that you wanted us to help you steal the scroll." Ava(Isabela) said

"Touché, at least listen to the plan!" Evelyn said

Evelyn's plan was interesting and complicated. She first wanted Isabela, Cyrus, and Theodore to distract the king while Ezra took out all the guards. She wants Maybell to make a potion of teleportation and for me to help gather the ingredients, but she strangely wanted to specifically go with Ace if we're coming and I have a hunch that they know each other before Ace and I met.

After we heard the plan, we discussed it with each other. And we have our answer.

"No, we will not go and steal the scroll, but we will make you the potion of teleportation in exchange for you telling us info on my father," I said

"Deal, but if you don't mind I need to talk to Nigel(Ace)," Evelyn said

Anyway, Maybell and I need to start the potion of teleportation because it has double the number of ingredients and time it took to make the potion of ghost transformation since it's a much more powerful potion. So we'll probably take at least 5 hours to finish this potion.
