Lets Talk

I walked in with my head hung low. "Look Lenore, i...i'm sorry. Its just i... I knew that Chiron was gonna say no. I ju...just wanted to help." I felt a tear fall onto my palm. "I'm so sorry. P...please forgive me." I finally looked up at her in fear.

Lenore had the same look in her eyes, fear. "I...it's fine...I...I'm sorry I never told you my curse" she whispered and looked at her. "Where do we stand?" She whispered, barely audible as she opened one of te books she had grsbbed off the shelf. She had to research and learn.

I looked at the book in confusion, then i bent low and read the title; PROPHETS OF GREECE. "Hmm" i said, thinking. I scanned the shelves for a minute then find another book that looked relevant; PROPHECIES UNKNOWN. I flip around the book for a while waiting to find something.

She pushed the book that was in grace hands down. "Grace, where do you as I stand, you know, together" she asked nervously, glancing around to make sure they were alone. She didn't want her twin to know yet.

I looked up from the book and straight into her eyes. "I honestly don't know." I said "what i DO know.." I continued "..is that we are way past crush" i leaned on her shoulder for a moment then picked my head up. " we will figure out everything, and I will make sure that the poem will not be your fate." I gave a small smile and dipped my head.

Lenore nodded, managing a small smile before looking back into her book. It was several long minutes before se sole again. "Annabell lee"

I looked at her, puzzled. "What?" I asked "Annabel Lee? Like the poem?"

I thought for a moment then recited:

"It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea."

I looked at her expectantly "that poem?"

She nodded and underlined a few of the words. "Map" she told grace without looking up and contiued to pan through the pages of Poe, before thinking of a poem again. "Raven...Lenore....Annabel lee...pallid"

I looked at her and said "huh?" I was confused. "What does Anabel Lee have to do with Lenore, other then names of course?" I wondered aloud before looking back at the book i had in my hand.

Lenore smiled, finally making some sense through the poems as he got a map of the 1800s anerica

I looked closer at the book for a moment before yelling "AH HA!" I smacked the book a few times then showed it to Lenore

"DREAMS!" I whisper-yelled

"Listen to this line!
From mine own home, with beings that have been
Of mine own thought- what more could I have seen?
'Twas once- and only once- and the wild hour
From my remembrance shall not pass- some power
Or spell had bound me- 'twas the chilly wind
Came o'er me in the night, and left behind
Its image on my spirit- or the moon
Shone on my slumbers in her lofty noon
Too coldly- or the stars- howe'er it was
That dream was as that night-wind- let it pass."


"From mine own home, with beings that have been
Of mine own thought- what more could I have seen?
'Twas once- and only once- and the wild hour
From my remembrance shall not pass- some power" i looked at her excited. "We have to go to his home!"

She nodded "but...Baltimore or Richmond? He lived in both places as well as attending West Point. That's three states!" She said, nervous on going back to Virginia, the legends that were in her home still scared her. "Wait....lost loves....rue morgue...."

"Hmm" i thought " maybe they are in a certain order!" I said in awe "like first second and third!"

"Richmond, West Point, baltimore" she said simply and looked at the map in front of her "but what else is tere?

I shook my head, confused "i don't know" i kept thinking but nothing would come to my brain

I walked into the library looking for Lenore and Grace. I spotted them sitting at a table at the corner, studing a book. "Hey!" I waved. I walked over to them and sat down. "How was Chiron?" I asked.

Lenore sighed "it wasn't very helpful..." She looked bak in the books, wanting grace to fully explain.

I looked up from the book. "Yeah, he thinks its just another camper playing tricks. He doubts that the poem is about Lenore." I said before rolling my eyes at the thought if Chiron then looking back down at the book

I sighed. "That's sucks." "What are you doing now?" I asked sitting down on the chair and moved closer to Lenore. I looked t his book. "What's this?" I asked looking at the book.

"I think I might have found something to hep us. Poe left more clues than I thought Orginally" she explained "where were you?"

I smiled. "What do you mean 'where was I?'" I asked her.

"When I was speaking to Chiron"

"I..I was at the.." I thought of a excuse, I didn't want to be caught looking out for my sister. "I was at the Aphroditr cabin changing my combat boots." I said.

Lenore gave her a funny look, then nodded "oh, ok"

I nodded, suprised by her reaction.
