章節 6: Sixth
"Where the hell is it?!" Tamitha frustratedly whispered while looking for the book she's reading earlier. She's in their library once again to look for an answer. Like what she said last week during their getaway, she finally decided that whatever it was happening to her she'll figure everything out and she's up for it. Although, having herself checked up came across her thought too. But solving these mysteries on her own is way stronger.
While searching for the book, she suddenly felt something cold touched her face. She immediately diverted her attention to the person responsible for that. "You're going overboard with that research of yours. Why don't you take some break?" Castor stated before giving the soft drink he just put on Tamitha's face. The lass accepted it. "What are you doing here?"
Castor started scanning the different books and papers on Tamitha's table and seated across her before answering. "I came to check up on you. Pearl is getting worried. You're not getting any sleep ever since our getaway. Are you alright? Are you starting to invent fresh things?"
"I'm fine. I'm just trying to feed my curiosity about something."
"Still about those weird dreams? Don't you want to ask for some medical assistance? I'll come with you."
"No, there's no need for that. Those weird dreams already stopped. I'm just curious about what it meant. Or does it even mean something." Tamitha lied so Castor would stop insisting on her to visit a professional. "Well, why don't you take some break from this and let's eat out later. I'll ask Pearl too. It's my treat, so I won't take no for an answer, alright?"
Tamitha sighed in defeat and just nodded. She has no time to argue with him anymore. Minutes later, Castor decided to leave to attend his class, but before going she went near the lass and reminded her once again about their lunch out and disheveled her hair to tease her.
"Now, where was I?" Tamitha said the moment Castor was finally out of her sight. She started skimming all the books she thought that could give her some answers. A couple of books more, she's slowly losing hope. But as soon as she's about to give up, a piece of paper fell from all the things she gathered earlier for her research. She picked it up and read the highlighted words on it silently, 'two realities at once.'
"Could it be?" She whispered.
"HEY Pearl, where are you?" She asked the moment her friend answered her call. "We're waiting for you he–" "Hey! Castor!" She immediately cut her best friend off when she saw a familiar figure walking. "Hey, I'll call you later, I think I saw Castor here."
"What? What do yo–" She didn't gave her best friend a chance to explain and ended the call. She then quickly followed the person she saw earlier. "Hey, C! Wait up!" She called once again. However, the lad is ignoring her and continued to walk. Tamitha tried to run to catch up with the person she thought was Castor. She even tried to pull his shoulder to stop him from walking.
"What's wrong with you I kept calling yo–Oh my gosh, I'm sorry I thought you're my friend." Her eyes widen the moment she realized that she mistaken the person as Castor. Tamitha quickly bowed her head to apologize for what she did. She tried examining the person.
She can't believe what she's seeing right now, she's surprised how he looks identically similar to Castor, then a thought hit her. It's Castor's identical twin... Pollux. Both had the same body features making Tamitha mistake Pollux as his brother, however, Tamitha noticed how Pollux's body is more defined than Castor's.
"You're Castor's twin brother, right?" She asked directly. The guy tried to check her out, Tamitha suddenly felt those familiar cold stares, yet it somehow felt soothing for her. She can't help but to stare at those hazel brown eyes too. Just when she's about to ask another question Pollux quickly grabbed her hands and locked her into his arms. She was in shock with the sudden movement making her freeze at that position. But as soon as she snapped back to her senses, she tried to free herself from the hug.
"W-what the hell are you doing?!" She stuttered.
"Don't move." The guy immediately stopped her, making Tamitha's forehead creased. She tried checking out to see if someone was around and she's surprised to see that someone was trying to aim an arrow to their position. "Is he still there?" The lad whispered, sending a shiver to Tamitha's spine. She just nodded trying to process what's happening right now.
She's nervous for her own life but she's somehow feel secured and protected with Pollux's warm touch. Those touches felt all too familiar for her, so instead of being uncomfortable with their position you can say that she's somehow enjoying it. 'Good grief Tamitha! What the freak are you thinking? How can you enjoy this when your life is in danger and you barely know the guy!' She argued with herself.
"Run after five."
"W-What?"
"Run after I count five." Tamitha looked at the guy with a confusing look but he just returned the stare as if telling her to just follow him. Tamitha sighed in defeat and just nodded giving him the trust.
"One." The lad started. Tamitha intensely looked at the guy trying to familiarize where he saw this person she's hugging. "Two." Tamitha tried to divert her attention to the person who's aiming an arrow to them, then suddenly a vision strike.
"Three." 'What's going on? Does this happen already?'
"Four." Tamitha panicked seeing this scenario in her vision while it is happening. Pollux sensed how Tamitha suddenly got tensed, he tried to bring her back to reality by tapping her shoulder. "Are you alright?" He asked. "W-Why does this keep happening?!" Tamitha frustratedly sobbed the moment she got her senses back.
"We don't have much time. Five! Let's go!" Pollux immediately grabbed her hand and run towards the exit while holding Tamitha's hand. They just run as if their life depends on it while still holding each other's hand. Lots of arrows started flying everywhere getting Tamitha more nervous for her life. They arrived at the parking lot breathless, Tamitha tried to catch her breath. Pollux then let go of Tamitha's hand and look around to see if they were already safe.
As soon as Tamitha catch her breath she went near Pollux and ask him, "W-What was that?" Pollux got no time to answer because both Pearl and Castor arrived at the scene. "Hey, what's going here?" Castor asked.
"Hey, man. I need to go, I still need to do something. Be careful." Pollux greeted and immediately left. Tamitha sighed in frustration and tried to calm herself.
"What happened, Tammy?" Pearl questioned. "I have no idea. Let's just eat, please. I'm starving." The two got no choice and followed the lass. They ate in a famous fast-food chain.
"I can't believe your brother looks just like you!" Pearl started. Castor chuckled before agreeing to the lass. "I would like to apologize for my brother's rudeness earlier he's just stressed out lately."
"It's fine. He's probably busy, that's why he didn't stay with us longer." Tamitha thought that Pollux would look for that person who tried to kill them.
After talking about Castor's brother, they decided to talk about other things. It was one peaceful lunch out but Tamitha still can't get over to what happened earlier. Those touch, warmth, and scent it's all too familiar to her she just can't point it out and what frustrated her more was that vision she had while they were in danger.
"I'll get to the bottom of this." She thought.
