Chapter 5: the Book and the Tree Branch.
Bang!
Startled, Virgil Jumped up and ran towards the kitchen, pausing in the doorway. “Uh, Guys you might want to see this.” He, Patton, and Janus all ran into the kitchen. When Logan got into the kitchen he saw Virgil holding a piece of paper with shaking hands.
“What doesn’t it say?” Janus asked. Virgil just handed the note to him. As Janus read the note, Logan saw the human side of his face slowly pale. Taking the Note from Janus, he adjusted his glasses and began to read.
“Creativity twins,
I have taken the Hearts of Creativity. This isn’t a ransom note, this is not an explanation, You two took them from me, I am taking back what is mine.
-M.”
Logan’s mind ran a mile a minute. Who is this M.P. person? Why do they hate the Twins? How do we- Logan was startled out of his thoughts by Remus shouting from the other room, “Guys, I think something is wrong with Roman.”
He was the first one to the outside wall of the cube, quickly followed by Virgil, with Patton and Janus just behind him. Upon Arrival, they saw Roman slumped over in Remus’s arms.
“What didn’t just happen?”
“He kinda just slumped over on to me,” Remus said shakily “I-I think something is wrong with his Heart.”
“Well how do we fix this? We can fix this right?” Virgil asked frantically
“Give me a minute.” Logan turned around and ran upstairs to his room. Closing the door behind him, he ran to his closet and walked to the back wall. Apon pushing a hidden button, a door opened into a secret library filled from floor to ceiling with rows and rows of bookshelves. He ran down a row marked ‘the aspects of the mind palace’.
“Where is it…?” he muttered. Coming across a section marked ‘Creativity’ he stopped. The whole section was bare. Not a single page was there. Pacing, he became lost in thought. Come on Logan you are Logic for goodness sakes FIGURE IT OUT. Where else could there be this information?..... Maybe in ‘the Others’ shelf? he nodded to himself, It is worth a shot.
Taking off toward the back of the library, He ran towards a dimly lit area. When he got close he slowed, pulling out his phone and turning on the flashlight on his phone. Stopping in front of a section labeled ‘Remus’, he scanned the shelves till he saw what he was looking for. Pulling a book off the shelf and blowing the dust off the cover, he double checked the title. “The Heart'' he murmured. Turning off his phone and shoving it in his pocket, he turned around and ran back into his room. Only pausing to shut the library door and open his own, he raced back down stairs.
Out of breath, he stopped in front of the other sides, “I think this might have some helpful information” he said after catching his breath, gesturing to the book. Remus’s face paled when he saw the title, “Where did you get that book?” he demanded.
Logan readjusted his glasses, “From my room of course. Why do you ask?”
“Because this book is supposed to be kept in my Palace Library,” He looked at Logan, his face full of bewilderment and suspicion. “Under lock and key.”
Logan rubbed his chin and shrugged apologetically. “It was in my Library. How it got there is a mystery.” Remus opened his mouth to retort before closing his mouth and sighing while running his hand through Roman’s hair.
Patton cleared his throat to break the uncomfortable silence that had overtaken the room. “Logan, will that book help us help the twins?”
“Hopefully yes” Logan opened the book. “I’m gonna read through this and Then We can make a-“ Logan paused to pull out a flash card “-Game Plan.”
“That book won’t help us. It literally just has how to Take control of the hearts and destroy them.” Remus said through gritted teeth. “You need to go to Roman’s castle in the Imagination. Find the hidden tower; and see if The Hearts truly are missing. Because if they are,” Remus Took a deep breath, not looking at the others. “If they are, which I suspect they are, Then Roman is in grave danger.”
Roman’s POV
Roman pushed himself onto his elbows. Looking around, he didn’t see a single recognizable landmark. What he did see however, was a giant Meadow with mountains in the distance. Struggling to his feet, he tried to summon his sword. Instead of his sword appearing, a wave of lightheadedness hit him causing him to fall back down. Gritting his teeth against the throbbing pain in his head, he pushed himself shakily back onto his feet. Taking a deep breath, he set out for the mountains in the distance. Only to trip and fall within the first few steps. Getting up again, he stood there for a second before setting off again. Just to fall on his face again.
Looking around he saw a hollow tree,and proceeded to collapse into it. He didn’t know where he was, or what was going on. So for now, he would just rest.
Trying to summon something, anything, just to make sleeping in the tree more comfortable, he managed to make The Tiniest pillow ever. He looked down at it, it was barely bigger than the palm of his hand. Huffing, He shoved it in his pocket and leaned against the rough bark.
{Time Skip brought to you by Remus’s Deodorant}
After a Long day of trying to nap-but failing miserably- he tried to stand up again. He hoped he might have enough energy to sink out back to his room.
6 attempts later and he realized that it was futile. He did not have any energy to sink out. In fact, he barely had any energy to stand. It was a miracle he hadn’t passed out yet. He fell back down into the tree, he might have to wait for Remus to find him.
Looking around for anything to help him get moving, he noticed a Small tree branch that would make the perfect walking stick. Crawling over to it, He grabbed it and used it to help him stand up.
It wasn’t the best but it would do. Now to get out of here. Wherever here was. Turning away from the mountains in the distance, he started hobbling towards the forest to his left. The sky was overcast and he needed shelter.
Roman didn’t make it more than 5 feet before another wave of vertigo overtook him and he fell onto his side. Maybe just laying here is a good idea.. givinging into the darkness on the edge of his vision, he closed his eyes.
