Chapter 4
Two days after the video was posted and shared. Two days, and the male owner of the other key hasn't shown up yet. What if they thought it was fake? But, wait, I have evidence. My key. I guess there's one more thing I should do.
I have to go up, this time. I need to know what all is up there. I do know that there's a chest, but people haven't been up there in three years. Three. Maybe something new is up there.
I'm out of bed, ready for school. I packed a lunch and ate a piece of toast for breakfast. I get in my car and drive off to school. Hopefully, the male will get the key. Whoever he is.
I walk through the doors and to my locker, key hidden in my bag's cloth. I grab my text books for class until lunch, binder and pens ready.

After classes and lunch came around like expected, I quickly ate my delicious tuna and bbq sauce sammich. I had brought alone several of the new Capri Sun pouches and a bag of baked bbq chips. What? Can't a girl eat? I had a light breakfast, anyways.
I ran off into the theatre room below the school and to my door. Nobody was inside the room, so I just went up. There were little windows allowing light with colored stained glass that pushed out. The latches were cared for, gratefully. I went past seven windows until I reached the top. It was covered in light from the evening sun's rays beaming into the room with color, and basking in it was a large chest, exactly like the one in the photos kids took. On the lock, which was a part of the chest, was the female symbol.
To my right was the male tower, as it must truly be it's purpose. I wonder what'll happen when we open these chests. I know I can't open mine early, because there's this gut feeling holding me back. I feel repulsed to open it, but impatient for the day to come when I can.
Let's hope that he comes soon enough and I can get on with this feeling. I walked back and went to my car to go home. I know my time is up at school because I saw cars leaving the parking lot in the little windows when I walked down.
Arriving at home, I saw my sisters were in the living room. I stood at the doorway.
"Hey, guys! I'm home!"
The look on their faces was funny. They all faced me, frightened looks on their faces. I snickered and sat down next to Kayla, the one born before me. Elise turned her head back to the screen.
"What're we watching?" I asked.
"Divergent. Now shush." Kayla held her hand up to my face, eyes peeled to the screen.
"How far along?" I asked her quietly in her ear. I turned my head back to the screen.
"Six minutes. Now hush. Please." She answered. I nodded and we continued watching the movie.
When it was over, mom called us into the kitchen for dinner. Nearly seven minutes later there's a few knocks on the front door. Elise got up and answered it. I waited for a few seconds.
"CHELSEA~!" She screamed. I grunted and got up. I rounded the corner and stopped dead in my tracks, a smile slowly and carefully creeping onto my lips.
"Jace! Oliver! Hi!" I walked up to them. I gave Oliver a hug. Jace growled. "Jealous? Don't be. We're friends." I quietly whispered. His facial expression changed into something I couldn't quite pinpoint, but it changed back to normal.
Elise ran into the dining room, talking was heard but not clear, and then she came back. "Come on in!" She said. I moved to the side to allow them in. I grabbed Elise's arm once Jace had his brother in front of him and they were through the door. We took them to the dining room.
"Mom, Dad, Kayla, Mary, Elise, this is Jace and his twin brother Oliver!" They all shared their greetings. "Okay, so, why're you guys here?" I didn't try to hide the curiosity in my voice.
"We have news, Chelse." Oliver said. He shifted his weight onto his right foot. Jace looked a little happy.
"Okay. So...?"
"Oh! Right! We found out who that other person is for the tower. Well, guy, but still,"
"Well, who is it?" I asked, slightly impatient.
"... it's Jace."
I stared at him. Of course, why didn't I think of him? Maybe it was the tower. Yeah, the tower got to me.
