Call Of The Spirits Chapter 14 The Prime Minister's house was empty and we were searching the bushes, bricks and grass for trap doors or secret entrances, "This is like a hotel compared to what I live in back in Kaylyle" I say to Fortis, "My parents own a furniture shop, we get regular customers that trade a armchair for fifteen squirrels" Fortis says to me, "Don't you deliver things with your brother and sister" I say, "Yes, but Lily and Cody loathe it, so we barely do it now" he says smiling "The last time I saw you on delivery after school, you, Lily and Cody were delivering a sofa and two armchairs to the richer part of Kaylyle" I say. "And so what, the rich always buy our stuff", "I haven't reached the point" I snap "You were running with the armchairs that looked like they weighed ten pounds like they as light as a feather to the house with Lily and Cody struggling with the sofa". "And so what if I can run while carrying two armchairs" he says rolling his eyes, "Wait" I snap again, "After you delivered the armchairs, you ran back to help Lily and Cody who had nearly dropped the sofa three times and picked it up to help them and the effect was like you were two people", "Conclusion" Fortis says thinking he is not special at all, "Unrealistically strong, so strong it could be just my imagination" I say "Actually it could be" I mutter shocked "Sorry" and I turned away to check the other side of the house. "How strong is he?" Caeli asked, "It's all my imagination" I explain. I heard footsteps behind me, "You think my strength is all in your mind" he says trying to be serious and unsuccessfully trying to hide his grin, he leads over me trying to pick me up, "No, no, no" I say scrambling to my feet but he's too strong and already too late as I'm quickly sweeping me off my feet to three feet in the air into a position that made me look like a baby being cradled in its father's arms, "You're enjoying this aren't you" say trying to be serious and, I, nailed it, I said, I nailed it. "I can't say I dislike it so yeah, I'm enjoying it" he says and as soon as he finished the word it I rolled out of his arms onto the grass and scuttled of to where Caeli and Caelum were. "If your so strong Fortis, I challenge you to a arm wrestling match" Caelum says grinning and rolls up his right arm sleeve revealing a muscly arm, "Challenge excepted" Fortis said beaming and rolls up his right sleeve revealing a arm that only God must have created. Snap out of it Parva, it's just a arm. The boys plonked their elbows on the soft grass to wrestle and Caelum was already sweating, "Start" Caeli and I say at the same time coincidently. As soon as they started Caelum's hand was flat on the ground, " I won, I won, oh yeah oh yeah, I won" Fortis sang only to mock Caelum's weakness. After he got up and brushed himself down, he made a beeline to a abnormally large yellow postbox and jump upon it. But instead of landing on it he fell through it, "Fortis" I screech without thinking and bolted in my gown with a few stumbles to the post box that had now split in two with Fortis somewhere inside it. "Fortis?, Are you down there" I ask the darkness infront of me, "I'm here Love, actually do you know where here is in fact" his voice echos up to me, "You have found the Nigrum Frigus" I call to him but all I hear is a yell of pain or fear, "Fortis" I shriek again and jump down the hole. My bones ached all over, and I open my eyes and the place I was in was pitch black and the entrance had been shut. I get myself to my feet and there was nothing to be seen or found until I was gagged, a hand holding a hankichief covered with chloroform covered my mouth and nose, I would recognise that sweet smelling liquid anywhere. I must have been unconscious for ages. The light crept under my eyelids and eyes snapped open only to find a small room with quiet little voices muttering around me. Vivos?. Vivos was strapped to a rectangular metal plate by his wrists, waist and ankles like me. Fortis was also in the room chatting to Vivos, "She's awake" Vivos chimed who must be in a good mood since he got company after days of living in the dark, but he looked different. He face was pale, covered with scars, bruises, blood and he also had a black eye. "Hey" Fortis said smiling trying to turn his head in my direction, "Why aren't you attached to one of these metal things" I ask him, "They temperamentally paralysed me and being attached to one those things would prevent me from standing up so they strapped me to a chair in front of Vivos with a force field light beamed over me" Fortis explained to me "I'll be in the one where you are now Vivos and you'll move to the one next to Parva so Parva and I don't make up a escape plan for some reason". "Cool, you just have to make sure I don't steal her from you" Vivos said to Fortis just to annoy him and he doesn't even have any interest in me at all, this left me smiling and Fortis very angry. "Fortis, you look like you're going to throw a tantrum" Vivos said mockingly and leans over to smile at him and chant but only to receive a head butt by a very angry person who was taking it very seriously in fact a little to seriously.
