Serena and the Phoenix necklace

Chapter: 20

  The elves went back to their damaged houses and began cleaning up and fixing their things. King Ethrion, Lael and Serena went back to the castle. Serena was back in her room until she remembered that Ascott was sick this day. She was lying on her bed and remembered about Ascott. She stood up and went out to look for Ascott's house. She has no idea where Ascott's house is but she bets that Alastor knows where she is.

While she was looking for Alastor, she met Alan along the way. "Hi, Alan." she said smiling.

"Hi, Serena. Are you going to ask me to go to your brother and give him a letter and some food?" Alan asked.

She chuckled.

"Your funny. Anyway I was just asking if you by any chance saw Alastor?"

"I think he's in Ascott's house."

"Where is it?"

"Just walk straight and you'll see a house with so many plants. That'll be the only house that has a lot of plants."

"Oh, thanks."

    Alan left but when he was walking he just thought of something. Alastor is inside his sister's house. He just walked straight and tried not to think about it until it's really bothering him. He knows that it has been a long time since he has not been talking to his sister. But after what Alastor told him, he thought that maybe it's time for Ascott and him to go back to their happy life like before. He stopped and turned around to catch-up with Serena.

"Why are you walking with me?"

"I'm going to see my sister."

"After all these years you're going to talk to her? Why all of a sudden?"

"Alastor talked to me and told me that Ascott needs me. I thought that perhaps he is right."

"What happened that made you stop talking to each other?"

"Before, Ascott and I always fight like kids especially when our parents died until we ended up saying that we don't need each other. After that we avoided each other for so many years."

"I see. It's a good thing that you both will be seeing each other."

"I guess you are right."

They stopped in front of a house with many different types of plants.

"Why does she have so many plants?"

"I don't know. I think it is her hobby to grow plants."

    Serena and Alan went in front of the door. Alan was a little bit nervous. Serena looked at him to see if he wants to knock on the door. Alan didn't doing anything so Serena knocked on the door.

Alastor opened the door.

"Is she feeling okay?" Serena asked

"Yes, she's fine. Lady Edna healed her." Alastor said.

    Alastor looked at Alan who was beside Serena. Alastor was feeling a little weird with Alan seeing him inside Ascott's house. Alan might be thinking that he's doing something to Ascott but he knows for himself that he doesn't have any feelings for Ascott. He's just being a good friend.

"Hi," Alastor said to Alan.

"Hi,"

Alastor let Alan and Serena inside the house.

"Ascott, your brother is here." Alastor shouted.

"What? He's here?" Ascott said.

"Yes, he is here with me." Alastor said.
