Battle Against Sphinx

Chapter - Eighteen

Miles

We entered the room as instructed and then decided to sit on the well placed rug on the floor. As we pass the levels he increases his generosity towards us. “Miles, you were saying something earlier. About something you remember. Of that day” Paxton asked me .

“Yes , Umm so I was telling that I remember the events that came in your dream . Even though we were young to think soo deep and commit such a huge crime , you were on next level of wisdom bro.

So basically you thought we had made a grave mistake that we should all rectify it. You told us all that but we didn’t know what to do . So we just called your dad because you know he was the most cool and chill person among all our parents. But you didn’t want to wait , so you ran down the hill towards the place where you felt he fell.

Again, you saw all that and then your dad came and then I don’t know what else happened down there but you came back with your dad to the top , near the cliff where we all were waiting for you. We didn’t have the guts to go behind you.” I finished saying it.

I was pretty sure after all this he didn’t want to hear anything else. Like how we escaped all the punishments from the government or law for the murder we committed.

“Shall we start solving the riddle?” Paxton asked and we all nodded. “Are you alright?” Julia asked him and he nodded a yes. We all knew that was a lie. He wasn’t good. Zara side hugged him and then kept a hand on his hand the entire time.

“Ok, now focusing back on the riddle . When is your uncle’s sister not your aunt ?” Paxton asked mostly trying to distract himself. “Who has uncles out here ?” I asked them . “What are you asking miles ?” Julia gave a weird look. “This riddle doesn’t ask us to use our brains. We need to use our knowledge about our family relations. It’ll be easier if we have real life examples.”

“ Ok . I have an uncle. He’s my mom’s brother.” Zara said and we all gasped. “What did I say to make you all gasp?” “Darling, you always have answers but you don’t have the brains to identify that you have the answer. The answer is mom.

You uncle’s sister is not your aunt because she is your mom.” I explained it to her and she gave a gasp now. “Happy realisation.” I clapped and then Paxton joined me.

We laughed and then we went and typed the answer in the keypad. After the all awesome irritating opening of the door we went inside to find a beautiful rug with 4 large pizzas awaiting us. We dug into them like people who hadn’t eaten since days together.

After filling our stomachs to more than enough contents we just supported ourselves with our hands behind us and sat there staring at the ceiling. I just lowered myself more to go into lying position when I felt something hard below my head. I opened the rug and saw that there was a big old DVD present.

“Guys, look.” I waved the DVD to them and Julia took it from me. Gasp . “What’s wrong ?” I asked her and she showed me the other side of it. 'Gleeya roberts' it said . “Guys, I think this has the info about it” Zara handed me a letter.

' Hello my lovelies,

I hope you have got the DVD . There is a DVD player under the bed . Take that. It has a screen too. Put in the DVD and enjoy the show.

It has the most important information my lovely twins need to know about their mother. Or should I say so called mother.

Anyways lovelies enjoy the show

Toodles ……….'

“What audacity this guy has.” Paxton said and then went under the bed to get the DVD player.

We plugged in everything and then the video tape started……….
