Authors note : sorry I haven't updated in a while because of that I am making this chapter a lot longer than all the others❤💙.

A click cut through the air as Jane twisted the key in the lock. Swinging open ,you would think because it was an old hotel that the door would creak just as the floor boards did, but there was no creak it just smoothly swung open snug on its hinges.

Fresh flower smells filled the room the grand decor from the hall way had carried on into this room. With its engraved stone creatures on the walls. There were all manner of creatures ; lions with their wild untamed mane and sharp pointy teeth, dwarves with slim bushy beards that reached their knees , creatures that Quinn had never seen before crawled to life on these walls.

In front of them stood three four poster beds with gold and white sheets and twisted curtains tied to the posts. Quinn ran through the room and jumped onto the bed nearest a glass door shouting "dibs" as she landed on the ginormous bed bouncing into the cushions, jane ran after her and jumped on the middle bed screaming "mine".

"Typical" muttered megan who boringly walked over and perched herself on the edge of the bed nearest the wall .

"Oh come on meg you know you want to!" Jane exclaimed.

"MEGAN MEGAN MEGAN" started chanting Quinn. Megan jumped up and started jumping on her bed before letting herself fall and the bed taking her fall. They all laughed rolling around feeling comfortable with each other as normal because they never felt awkward around each other .Never.

The glass door that was at the far side of the room , lead onto a decently sized balcony ; the door was closed tight . Jane walked over followed by Quinn to the balcony the fresh night air hitting there faces as they stepped out . The fields stretched out to the cliffs on the far side of the island, the cliffs rolling into the water until they reached the roaring waves. It was truly a sight to behold.

Birds talking to each other sending messages on the wind just happy to have company flying in the last golden streaks of sunlight for the day.

There Was nothing more Quinn could ask for she was with two of her best friends having an adventure on an island. Out of no where something hit Quinns head scaring her half to death and she nearly jumped out of her skin. She looked up to see what had made something drop on her head . There on the balcony above was Leo waving wildly at her . "Leo what the hell ?" Quinn shouted upwards .

"How else was I supposed to get your attention"

Quinn smiled at him his face seemed to be glowing in the night sky like one of the twinkling bright stars in the stratosphere

"Well what are we doing tonight?" Bellowed Leo .

"Ssshhhh keep your voice down. We don't know what we are doing yet but one thing is for due we are getting out of this hotel. We can decide what we do when we get out" Quinn said in a much quieter voice than Leo's.

"Ok I'll meet you three downstairs in an hour and a half" with that Leo disappeared into his room upstairs and edged the door quietly shut.

Jane and Quinn walked back into the room and jumped on there beds again, this came with some moaning from Megan and a disapproving look.

There was 5 minutes until they were supposed to meet Leo downstairs. All three girls put on there jackets Quinn turned the key quietly in the lock trying to make as little noise as possible. They all crept out onto the landing and closed the door silently behind them. Quinn tensed as a floorboard creeper underfoot feeling sure someone would here them but after a few seconds of looking up and down the corridor it was clear no one had heard them.

Quinn lead down the stairs as they went they were all trying not to make the slightest noise , all holding there breath as to be sure they wouldn't get caught. Suits of armour stood guard at the top of the next stair case , all standing there ground making sure no one would get past them.

They had all been doing do well not to make a noise when suddenly behind them a suit of armour crashed to the ground. Quinn and Megan whipped round to see the cause of the noise. When they turned around Quinn sighed to see Jane on the ground lying over a suit of armour. Quinn laughed silently trying to keep the fits of laughter from escaping her lips. There was no person on earth that was as clumsy as Jane , the harder she tried to be less clumsy the more clumsy she became.

Jane mouthed a sorry to them and slowly got up trying not to make anymore noise than she already had.

The ancient paintings hung on the walls making the place look like it had stood here in the medieval period.

Pictures of Quinns favourite fairy tales like robyn hood , the selie and unselie court split in the fairy rely and her absolute all time favourite . The story of King Arthur the once and future king and Merlin the most powerful scorcerer to ever walk the earth.

All these paintings where part of her childhood. Her childhood before her parents left, they would read her these stories every night before she went to bed . Her mother always used to go into so much detail about arthur and Merlin and the high priestesses of the old religion, and all sorts of creatures and people like dragons, goblins, unicorns and druids . But what Quinn never understood was how her parents knew all of this , especially her mother . How could they know all of the little details ? Like merlins favourite colour or how he dressed , they knew everything about him his habits his feelings. How could they know this? There wasn't anyone alive from that time in the 21st century , and none of their information was in history books . So where did they find these things out.
Quinn had always been told by her friends that her parents would just make it up as they went dropping random things about them that weren't true . But she never believed them, her parents weren't liars and neither was she.

All three of them finally touched down on the floor at the bottom of the stairs, but where was Leo.

Quinn and Jane had the same curious look on their faces they both obviously realising that Leo was not coming or had been caught.

Quinn reached into her pocket and started to rummage around, she whipped her phone out and immediately called Leo thinking that if they stayed in plain sight in the reception any longer they were very likely to be caught.

She dialed his number over and over . No answer came. Turning to face her friends Quinn slowly shook her head , her face went pale and she could feel the colour draining from her cheeks.

"What do we do now " asked Jane a concerned look crossed her face.

"Well we will just have to go without him, he's probably just forgotten or gone to sleep or something" Quinn knew she didn't sound very convincing , she really wanted to have and adventure, she prayed the others would want to still go on.

"Yeah I think we should go too" Megan said sounding like a tiny mouse.

Quinn and Megan both looked to Jane.

"Agreed" she finally answered .

Checking to see no one had seen them they quickly tip toed to the door . Quinns slid the bolt out of its catch and her hand pushed on the cold brass of the door knob. But it didn't open it was tight shut.

Whispering ,Quinn said "we need to get the door key".

Where could the key be they had to find it otherwise their adventure would be over before it started.

"Behind the counter " Jane gasped.

"Sshhh,Keep it down " Quinn mouthed. It was a miracle that they hadn't been caught.

They crept to the counter in the dim light and reached for the cold silver key.

"And where exactly do the destined three think they are going this night" an old woman with grey hair that sat groomed on her head with red and blue clothing and a purple shawl.

"We were just getting a drink" uttered Megan.

Quinn and Jane already knew that the jig was up because this old woman had probably just watched them take the key, but Megan however still tryed to claim they where not doing anything.

" I will ask again what are the destined three going on this night of Albion"
"I have long Awaited This Moment " said The old woman.

The same look crossed all three of their faces . Why was this moment so special?

"We must get going anyway" said Quinn

"But I thought you only came down for water" the old woman laughed knowing Quinn had slipped up.

"Do not threat children of old I will not tell a sole I have seen you "

Exhaling loudly , they let out a breath they didn't know they had been holding.

The old woman started again " but you must promise me that you will only go to one place tonight, for it is important you need to be there on this night when the stars are aligned and the creatures of old grow stronger with the hope of finding the destined three who will put an end to there misery".

"you must go to the first wall of rock that looks like a cliff, to the east of here and if you are in the right place you will see a panel embedded in side of it. It has 5 indents for you too turn and inside you will find your destiny"

"But how will we know when we find it " said Quinn curiously.

"The moon will guide you"she replied with a mysterious tone on her tongue.

The old woman seemed to know more than she was letting on. Her face had now brightened up since she had fufilled her destiny by sending the three girls on the right path.

"Have a nice night " she said shuffling of into the darkness of a nearby hall way and closing the door behind her leaving Quinn ,Jane and Megan in  stunned silence struggling to make sense of what this old woman had said.
