Chapter 16: the fruit bats
The red-headed girl holds out her hand for Olive to shake; Olive nervously grabs her hand, and the girl shakes it enthusiastically.
"What can I do for you?" The girl asks, pulling her hand away, still smiling.
Olive looks confused. "I-" but is interrupted by mercy, who's still soaking wet from being dragged into the river.
He wraps his arm around olive, who shivers due to the freezing water mercy was just plunged into not even ten minutes ago, how is he not freezing?
"Ren said you could help us with this portal thing! You know, to get this one back to the human realm!" Mercy pats Olive on the back.
"Portal?" Celsi tilts her head, visibly confused. "Human realm?"
Mira pokes celsi on the shoulder, handing her a book. "This one."
Celsi flips through a few pages, her eyes widen; she practically shoved her face in the book. "This is ancient..." she smiles, letting out a scoff, more of disbelief and pride than anything.
She closes the book, putting it in her bag.
"...what now?.." Olive asks, to no one in specific.
"We make a plan." Celsi states, smirking.
Everyone else looks at each other, except for ren who was dragging kel inside.
Justice shrugs, he sips on an iced coffee looking drink that he probably stole from the kitchen. "Let's do it." He says nonchalantly, his bored looking expression not really showing if he was excited or not...
Mercy finally pulls his arm away from Olive, he jumps up and down, his arms in the air. "We're a team!" He exclaims. "Teams have names...what's our team name?" He asks, looking at the others expectantly.
The group falls into silence, before kel walks back out casually, sipping on his juice box loudly as ren yells in the background.
Olive glances at the juice box. "We're the fruit bats." She states, a proud grin on her face.
