Magnus Knoxx Skyler P.O.V
"In the three years I've been undercover, I've miraculously survived, but I'm here in your territory. Now, if I'm going to be used in your mission, I don't know if I can help, I can be a problem, I can be cunning, I can be a traitor. So why would you still trust me?" Freeda asked, she was sarcastic. Her question was hard to answer, I also didn’t know what Maximus ’plan was. How can we trust someone like Freeda if she's against us in the first place?
“It’s hard to trust you, but we have no other hope, but you,” Maximus said. He looked at Freeda who was staring at the floor. "Yes, you can be a problem, but will you choose to be a problem or help solve someone else's problem?" I asked her.
"I don't want to be a burden, I didn't want to live here in the first place, but you wanted me to be here. Because you need something from me, am I right?
Freeda Adelaina Miller P.O.V I lay all day in bed, I no longer knew what to do with my life. I had a mental breakdown. Suddenly I was crying, by just thinking about my situation. I feel like a corpse, I have no energy. It's lazy to stand, eat and move. Everything. It was as if I was paralyzed. I'm getting tired of motivating myself. I am not able to stand up for myself. Whatever Enzo said to encourage me, I was still discouraged. Every time I look in the mirror, I can no longer see who I used to be. I am different. I have become weak. I just close my eyes, my chest is too heavy. I took a deep breath and sat down. I was holding the necklace around my neck. There is also something strange about this necklace, it suddenly lights up sometimes and I don’t know why. It is not a luminous or glow-in-the-dark necklace. "When it shines it is a signal tha
Freeda Adelaina Miller P.O.V "We're going to eat," Flynn said. The tension between Max and I was gone when he came in. Max averted his gaze, turned his back, and left me. "Hmm..come with me, let's have some dinner," Flynn said and I nodded. "Sure," I replied. When I sat down at the table with seven of them, we all started eating together. Everyone was quiet and I slowly sipped the hot soup. "Delicious!" Alas said while he was also drinking the soup that Flynn and Enzo had cooked. "It's delicious, not salty," I looked at Cassius, he seemed to be reminding me of my salty soup that I cooked before. I looked at the others laughing, I glared at Cassius and he just grinned. I couldn't do anything so I just ate. “Let’s eat some ice cream, later guys,” Enzo said as he get some ice cream on the refrigerator. I like to have some desserts too. While everyone
Flynn Dwaine Skyler P.O.V ''I like you,'' after I uttered those words to her, I felt embarrassed and nervous. When she heard it her eyes widened, I also felt that her hands were cold. "Huh? W-Wait, did I hear it right? Did you confess to me?" she asked as her cheek was blushing like a tomato. I nodded and smiled at her reaction, she also has a cute side. "You heard it right, I confess to you tonight," I clarified. She still couldn't believe it, she looked confused. "W-why do you like me?" she asked and looked at me shyly. I just stared at her blushing face while thinking about what I liked about her. ''Hmm..there's something about you that I can't explain, I felt affection the night I saw you in the town. I like you because of your courage, I admire who you are,'' I replied. A smile formed on her lips, the more she couldn't look at me. "Hmm..b-but don't you have a lover
Freeda Adelaina Miller P.O.V The place is quiet, only the sound of crickets can be heard outside the house. I still can't sleep, because something is bothering my mind. Flynn crosses my mind, every time. I know this is not right, something is blocking me from what should I do. Flynn's confession earlier seemed to have done something strange to me, I don't know why. I just can't explain it, and now I don't know how I feel about him. Cassius said I'd better say how I really feel about Flynn but right now I'm still confused. I used to notice that there was something between Flynn and me, I ignored that but over time we became closer to each other. Flynn sometimes came to my room and we talked, he was so sweet, he sometimes kissed my forehead and I felt a thrill. I was comfortable when I was with him, he took better care of me followed by Enzo. The two of them help me work on my tasks so I don’t h
Freeda Adelaina Miller P.O.V "You suddenly shouted last night, we were surprised and I also thought something bad happened to you," Enzo said. We are here in the kitchen talking while cooking for the meal this morning. "I'm sorry that I disturbed your sleep last night," I apologized and he just smiled. "It's okay Freeda, no problem, it's normal to have nightmares," Enzo replied. We were also about to finish cooking and I was preparing some plates on the table. The other guys are outside, fixing something there. I saw Flynn and the others coming in, I immediately averted my eyes, pretending to be busy cleaning the kitchen. "Let's all have breakfast," Alas said, they all sat down and waited for what Enzo and I would serve. Others followed and sat down as well. Jude is the only one who is not here, he's still asleep and snoring in his bedroom. I saw Maximus sitting in his chair at the end of the
Maximus Walter Skyler P.O.V In the middle of my drive, I heard Magnus' phone ring. He picked it up and answered it immediately. "I'm near there, let me just handle that thing," he said. He hung up the phone and looked at me. “I need to get there as soon as possible,” Magnus said. "What is the problem?" I asked as I speed up the car. “There was just a little bit of a problem with the company but I just fixed it,” he replied. I didn't intervene anymore because Magnus already knew what he was going to do. I entrusted it to him and I knew he would take care of it well. Skyler Distillery is so important to us and it’s the treasure that Dad left us. “Son, when Dad dies, you and your siblings will inherit this,” Dad said as we were outside the building. Mom was with us and they brought me here except for my other siblings. Dad didn't let them out of the house because they did something that made him angry. They ran
Freeda Adelaina Miller P.O.V As I rested, the scene I saw never left my mind. It's horrible to look at. Alas is the one I saw floating in the river while we were there earlier. My head started to get ache as we walked there while I see how he drowned himself there as if he was exhausted from life. So I warned him too and I knew he wouldn’t believe me. "Have you rested yet?" I looked at the door and saw Alas. He came in and I noticed that his t-shirt was wet, he was bathing the horses. "I've been able to rest Alas," I said and smiled a little. He sat on the side of the bed and looked at me. "W-what about what you said before? W-what do you mean? It's like you're warning me," Alas said. I gulped, wondering what to answer to him. "Ahh, I-I don't know either, I-I just had a bad vision b-but just don't mind that," I said and sighed. He seemed to want to know what I saw so he stayed.&
Maximus Walter Skyler P.O.V We were on our way home, it was already dark and Magnus was next to me talking to Flynn on the phone. "Are you all at home?" Magnus asked. "Y-yes," I heard Flynn answer on the other line. I could smell him lying and I could see in my vision where the others were, I could see them hurrying home and they were from the town. All of them are stubborn, no matter what else I do they will still disobey me. I'm getting tired of disciplining them all. I've been telling them the things over and over again. "Okay," Magnus replied and hung up the phone. We are near home in a few minutes. "How was your walk earlier Max?" Magnus asked. "It's all right, I've come up with an idea and plan to continue the mission that failed the last time," I replied. "Oh, that's nice! So what lead did you get there?" he asked. "You'll know it later when we're all at the same table," I replied and he agreed. When we got home I immediately parked the car in the side. I
