They arrived late into the night. It was about midnight, the sky was dark out and everywhere was quiet. The only noise to be heard was the sway of the leaves in the forest.We had gone as far as taking care of the candles so that not even a speck of light could be seen from outside.They must have notified Commander Albert of their arrival because he just walked out of the bedroom where he had stayed and out through the side door into the evening. It was a while before he arrived back with the team in tow.I said nothing because there was this tension they came in with. I knew there was nothing wrong and that I was feeling the tension because this was my first time actually seeing them do things from the outside. They looked so intimidating and powerful.I immediately rushed to Commander Albert who was carrying Karis and led him into the room where she was laid down. She had been resting for more than a day, she would be needing at least another day before I expected her to wake up.
Way to leave me like this commander Susan. I thought as I saw her retreating body.The tension was so insane I thought Teresa would attack me out of nowhere. I glanced at her out of the corner of my eyes to find her seething, and then immediately glanced away.I placed a foot in front of the other and made a hasty escape out of there."You met her?" Asked Achu the moment I met them outside.They had all been discussing something when I joined them. Emily, Achu and Anthony."I did. She is okay I guess" I said, shrugging."Is she okay? I hate that bitch. I can't believe she is the so-called Queen everyone is trying so hard to protect. And for what?" Asked Emily, her eyes were wide and she looked like she had just finished bashing the other chick."I don't like her. Never did, she made life for Bryan hell" I said, trying to explain to the guys why Emily was behaving crazy"Yes, I remember when it happened. We were there. Teresa has always been...odd" explained Anthony with a strained smi
I ran away from the Carnage as fast as I could, leaving everything behind except for the one mission on my mind. It was all on me now.I needed to know their exact location and even where they were headed, and I needed to get there before them if I could. I hadn't seen the guys nor Commander Susan and Commander Dominic. didn't know where they were or if they were even alive, and I would ignore that. I wouldn't be expecting any backup even though I know Emily would probably ask the academy to send one as soon as they could, I wouldn't expect the others to suddenly appear out of nowhere to help me. It was all me now.I left the neighbourhood, pulling into the street and joining the normal passerbys. I saw as several police cars and law enforcement agencies vehicles pulled from traffic and entered the street I had just left. So many people looked scared and afraid, while others acted like hearing several gunshots nearby was a normal occurrence.I walked into a cafe, the bell jingling a
We got into a vehicle and headed out of the city. I stayed back and watched as the girls walked into the parking lot of a building. I didn't know what they did or whose car they stole but they soon revved out of the building with the swankiest car I had ever seen"Get in," said Emily, smiling wide.I whistled low as I got in the back, it looked new and everything."Do I have to worry that we just stole a very expensive car?" I asked them."No. And don't worry. We would return it back without a scratch on it" Karis replied."Okay" I nodded, I didn't believe them though, finally reclining back and admiring the interior of the car."Guys? Are you sure we can do this? we suddenly have this huge mission to do in our arms, all the responsibilities and decisions, are you guys sure we can do it?" asked Karis from the front.I knew that we were thinking the same thing, Karis was always so confident like she could do anything that she wanted to do and nothing could stop her. Listening to her d
My body went tense, every cell locking and straining. My eyes clashed with his red blazing eyes. I could hear my other self breathing hard on the ground, lost in subconsciousness. And I was here, breathing harder than she was with my eyes trained on his.Half of his body hid in the shadows, and his other half was exposed to my gaze. I could only tell his eyes were red because it was the only thing I could see as his upper body was the one hidden.He smiled wide and white beautiful teeth shone, his smile made me hyperventilate, he looked like a monster about to devour its prey I cast a look to the exit, contemplating whether I should run and hide."You wouldn't want to do that," his voice said.He took a step forward, then another. His body slowly came into the light. He finally stood tall in front of me, and I finally got to see King Hades of hell in his full element.My jagged breathing paused. He was... beautiful.He stood tall, about seven feet tall. Huge horns adorned the front of
and I looked back towards where she was. She had just sat there, lost in herself and in her thoughts. Feeling guilty and ashamed. I wish I could walk to her and hold her, tell her everything was going to be okay, because it was going to be.I stood up from where I had sat and walked towards the house, this was where commander Jonathan met me for the first time. He would be coming out any minute now. To pretend that this was his first time seeing me.I walked into the house, the house I had been avoiding since morning. I walked right through the door and looked around. It was beautiful and huge outside, then absolutely breathtaking inside. It was really pretty.It was completely empty and silent, as if there was no one around. But I had seen them, King Jade and his son, they had both come in here, so where were they?There was a huge spiral staircase going up, so slowly made my way up and into the first floor of the house. There was a corridor with beautiful chandeliers adorned all the
It was a while before I heard conversations reaching my ear. Karis was talking to someone in the front, so I didn't think twice as I slipped into the house. It was late and I couldn't see clearly, so I turned on my Alpha mode, it made my sight sharper and clearer. I went through the house as fast as I could, slipping from one room to another. The huge living room and the chairs on the balcony in the back. The entire ground floor was huge but I was through going from one room to another. I kept one ear out on Karis in the front, listening to their conversations so that I would know when it was time to leave. I would keep the other ear out for any sudden movement other than mine inside the house. I went up the stairs as fast as I could, going in and out of the room but it all came up empty.No one was here.I was done in no time, but there was no sign of anybody in the house except for the guy out front who really wanted Karis to leave.I was about to leave through the side door whe
I ignored her as I walked away into the kitchen. I pulled open several of the pantries, and cupboards. I couldn't find what I was looking for so I opened the fridge instead.I took a bowl and filled it with ice, lots of ice before going to the tap and filling it with water.I walked out of the kitchen and back into the sitting room where I set everything up. karis's eyes were opened and trained on me, watching everything that I was doing.I pulled the chair that I had placed the bowl on closer to the man, then cracked my hands. His face went first into the huge bowl of very cold water, and I left it there while counting the seconds.I was up to five when he started struggling and coughing, he was awake and tried pulling his face out while struggling, but I let it stay there for another five before I finally relented and let his face up.His eyes were wide with panic and fear. When his eyes connected with mine, it widened in shock, before anger."Who the fuck decides to play with the
