Paris, France8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlKeWTmGwj 維尼
I always love seeing others in pain. It brings a rush of adrenaline through my body that I couldn't get with anything else.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGqrRFx57r 維尼
I thrive off the pain of others; I'll even admit to being addicted to it.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsIp6bAugF 維尼
Seeing them on their knees, begging for life...begging for forgiveness. That sight never fails to bring me to a new height of euphoria.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxtniCHE7 維尼
I revel in that pleasure.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7HGBJn7lQ 維尼
I'm in love with it.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DENYxBlvi 維尼
And it's no different this time.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP8JuxA89e 維尼
The tears welling in the child's eyes, begging me not to hurt her with the iron pole in my left hand, brings me to new heights all over again. The power that I hold over her is overpowering, not exactly the same feeling I have when I'm with my princess, but a very close second.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9C91sDqZ 維尼
The little girl in front of me was tied to a tree with ropes drenched in liquid silver. There was no hope for her to turn into a wolf, and even if she could, she wouldn't even stand a chance against me.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CmM3Cfm29 維尼
"Please don't hurt me," the child pleaded again, snot and drool running down her face. Her right side of her head was caked in blood, a result of the damage I did when I bashed her head in.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeee8fW4Cx 維尼
"Shut up," I warned softly, using the iron pole to trace the features on her face. She was pretty for a child, I suppose; her features itself were a bit plain but the exotic green eyes that all members of the royal werewolf family possessed, made up for it.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkGQYIOz6Y 維尼
They were a bright green with a drop of gold in its centre. Very captivating to look at, but not as beautiful as my pet's heterochromia eyes. Everything is pale in comparison when my Ariel is in the equation. And that included Rosalie, a royal princess herself.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIaKu5Bqmt 維尼
She was the youngest member of the Callister bloodline; a werewolf who still possessed the same blood as King Callister himself. The wretched bastard that drove all the Shards to extinction, excluding my father and myself.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z8MpMWtfA 維尼
"Why are you doing this to me?" The six year old princess whined in an atrocious voice. "I don't even know you, sir. Please let me go."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxZa1grh6 維尼
At least the little princess knew how to give respect to people with power.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnWPjOUGnd 維尼
"It's not you that I want, Rosalie." I can tell I terrified her even more with her use of her name. I stifled a grin at that, not wanting her to see an inch of amusement on my face. "It's your brother, Loker, that I'm looking for. Why don't you kindly tell me where to find him?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBKC7H7Z8x 維尼
Her eyes widened just an inch and she bit the side of her lip hard. A telling sign that the next words out of her pitiful mouth were going to be lies.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaIZ5niCxz 維尼
"I-I don't know," she wailed and then screamed when I slammed the iron rod into her stomach. A strange gurgling sound emerged from her mouth and I watched in delight, seeing the blood she was spitting out.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPPEuBDdQz 維尼
"You want to try answering that question again?" I asked the girl in a soft tone. I knew exactly how to intimidate a person. I've been practicing it with Ariel for a very long time now.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F26cVKULJ 維尼
Intimidation at the finest; one of the best skills for a man to hone and possess.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0GW8ddNLg 維尼
"I don't know," she mumbled in a weak tone, after she finished coughing out her blood. She stared at me with those bright green eyes again, while biting down on her lip again. "Please, believe me. I don't know where my brother went."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡZob2gXiSsD 維尼
Lies. All this girl can tell are pitiful, fucking lies.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDh0vbrORt 維尼
"Listen carefully," I murmured, using the rod to trace the blood on her face. "As of right now, the only reason that you're still alive is that you have information that I need. If you continue to be difficult, make no mistake, I'll end you in a heartbeat."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGaiS6g7VH 維尼
The dangerous current in my voice must have struck a chord because the quiet whimpering she made before was now reduced to loud, disgusting sobs.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcyGuTozK0 維尼
I sighed in bemusement, seeing her face flustered from all the tears that were dripping down her flushed cheeks. Deep sobs emerged from her chest, and I couldn't help but notice how unattractive and fake it looked.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIzvfqM7Df 維尼
When my princess cries, her tears are silent, and the traces that are left on her cheeks appear to make her face shinier and prettier to admire. The tears that come out of her is a sign that she loves me dearly. They were genuine, just like how her love for me is genuine.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsmRT0f19X 維尼
And not at all like the tears that Rosalie was forcing out at the moment. Her face was messy and blotchy and I was sure that the damage I did to the side of head made no difference to the overall outcome of it all.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGtVz3zaKS 維尼
"Did you break her?" My father spoke out quietly, emerging from the deep shadows of the forest. He was very good at camouflaging in the forest, striking the enemy down when they least expect them to. It was how he managed to evade the pack boundaries and kidnap the Alphas and Ariel in the first place.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSR44okoJ 維尼
Rosalie screamed in response to the new figure that joined me in her torturing. It was amusing to see her fear reach a new peak and for once, I couldn't fault the brat.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡseqRIbHUSc 維尼
My father might be wearing an impressive suit and tie, but that's where his professionalism came to an abrupt end.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡMev9DQ3O0b 維尼
Not only did the large scar on his face add more to his intimidating look, in his left hand was a large knife.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99xx4F34f 維尼
Red streaks of blood was dripping down the blade and even though the sight did nothing to faze me, our little captive was paralyzed and speechless from the fear of it.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5ADvTOCuY 維尼
"Not yet, but close." I murmured to him, bringing my attention back to Rosalie.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡpofZcOVqsV 維尼
Her tears grew louder and she screamed loudly when my father appeared before her, using his height to frighten her into submission.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMwr9f4Hgs 維尼
"No more tears, love," my father crooned in a silky sweet tone, that I knew was used to frighten her even more. "You see this here?" He asked, and lifted the knife so that it was an inch away from her face.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oRaSIwHkr 維尼
When the girl nodded frightfully, pushing her head back as far as she can go considering she was tied to a tree, my dad twirled the knife in his experienced hands, drawing out her fear even more. "I used this weapon to kill two of your guards today. Do you want to know how your guards fared against this weapon?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7mV592cHu 維尼
The girl wailed in reply, and shook her head back and forth, careful to make sure that the knife was nowhere near her vicinity.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gio0GRkfy 維尼
"Speak up child," my father said, in a harsh reprimand. "You have a mouth and I want you to use it already." I got to admit that seeing how the child released her bladder from hearing my father's order, almost made me feel sorry for her.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsif2OeXJS 維尼
Almost, but not quite.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmw0aNpRmh 維尼
My father was a mastermind in intimidating people and getting what he wanted. A trait that I myself acquired over the years as well.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡadVnB6UiFk 維尼
"No," the child yelled, her voice cracking in the middle. "I don't want to know, sir. Please let me go. My brother is not here. Please, please believe me. I don't know anything. I don't know anything." The girl repeated the same last lines over and over again, and I couldn't help but release a yawn from hearing her same mantra.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUDGrzrIU 維尼
"This girl is useless," I told my father, digging the iron pole into the ground. "We're wasting time right now, father. We should've been done by now, and heading home already. Ariel is waiting for me at the mansion."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAmObd2Qba 維尼
My father let out a snort and I narrowed my eyes at his action. "Something funny I should know about?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqjqIXUuJZ 維尼
He let out a loud chuckle and I gripped the iron pole harder in my hand. I don't appreciate being mocked at. Especially coming from my own flesh and blood.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1CMJTTAO3 維尼
"Calm down, son," my father said, with a teasing smile. "After what you put the poor girl through, I'm sure you being here and not there is a vacation of sorts for her. I don't think she's waiting for you at all."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡk70oWDtANs 維尼
I gritted the teeth, but managed to calm myself down at the last minute. "Ariel knows what I'm doing to her is for her own good. She loves me dearly, father. Just stay out of our relationship."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡVux8WBiYMI 維尼
"Of course," my father teased and then nodded at Rosalie, who was watching us in horror. "The girl is telling the truth, actually."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡugahpuiryc 維尼
My eyebrows snapped together. "Oh? Which part do you mean?" I looked back at the child and saw that her eyes were still captivated by the silver coated knife.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Y5xDMxQr 維尼
"Her brother is out of Paris right now," he answered, moving the knife back away from her face. "Training abroad in Japan from what I hear."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7pjR0YIoh 維尼
"Is that right?" I looked at my father, feeling anger burn within me. If he's about to tell me that we're returning home empty handed, then I'm going to be very angry.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9agizDLG9 維尼
We wasted a week here trying to sneak our way into the Werewolf Kingdom and the only thing that we accomplished to do was take a small wimpy child princess as hostage.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPmcY317bm 維尼
"Relax Lucius," my father said calmly, a glint in his eye. "We won't be going home without any progress. Not when we have leverage here." He stared pointedly at the little girl whose sobs were increasing by the second.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0KtZelKz 維尼
I stared at her too, understanding quickly what my father was getting at. "Instead of looking for the enemy, you want to lure the enemy here right?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmMdAST1oE 維尼
"Exactly son," my father beamed with pride, throwing the knife towards me. "And maybe we can use this opportunity to strike fear in the Werewolf Kingdom. Let the girl sing like a canary to her family so that they'll be more terrified of what awaits them on the outside walls of their precious kingdom."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjUdK3Xjn6 維尼
I caught the silver coated knife in my right hand, ignoring the child's screams and wails. Sometimes my father had some of the most interesting ideas.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡObcRyNyf5u 維尼
I observed Rosalie's face, seeing the emerald eyes beg for mercy and compassion. She was going to learn very soon that I'm not a man capable for either of those traits.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9bOF3V3Kj 維尼
Watching the tears pool in her expressive eyes, I decided where I wanted to damage her the most. The brat didn't see it coming.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9otVpv2Jc 維尼
One minute she was crying for me to have leniency on her, and the next she was screaming for an entirely different reason. The beautiful emerald eyes that all descendants of King Callister had was a trait that they all were proud to possess.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X22aMs2i1 維尼
It was only fitting that I stabbed the knife directly in her left eye, taking one beautiful eye away from this girl forever.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡyelFC3wsBl 維尼
The girl screeched in terror and pain, while blood oozed out of her eye and coated the knife and my hand.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbiTNW2TUH 維尼
"I can't see!" She screamed, wailing like a banshee in the deep shrouds of the forest. "Why did you do this to me? Why?" Her screams frightened the crows in the forest to flee.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiuwqSFRna 維尼
"It's quite simple dear," my father said, taking the knife away from my hand. He drew a handkerchief from his pocket before wiping the blood clean from the knife. "Your brother, Prince Loker, would no doubt come out of his hiding hearing what happened to his precious little sister."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuJ7J7JaNX 維尼
"And when he does," I smirked, watching the blood roll down her cheek. "I'll end him and take over his throne."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡcci5VRW66Q 維尼
"My brother is not hiding. He's training so that he can destroy monsters like you," the girl threatened, trying to sound tough to no avail. "Don't underestimate him. He's a prince and when he learns what you did to me, he'll hunt you down. You'll see!"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2mQw5pLyN 維尼
I chuckled, before slowly untying the ropes that were bounding her to the tree. She slumped down hard to the ground, moaning in pain and misery. She blinked up at me but I knew with the damage done to her eye, she probably couldn't see the victory dancing in my eyes.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbuVE8vgiu 維尼
"I'll be waiting," I smirked, stepping over her to walk away in the other direction.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPfSdcPkbM 維尼

"I have a question for you," I spoke to Arlo, while combing the tangles out of Ariel's hair with my hands.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4A28vDmln 維尼
She was sitting cross legged in front of me, her back to my front, as she let me comb the knots and twists out. The poor girl couldn't catch a break and with her not being able to sleep, I didn't know where her physical and mental state was at.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1agxpBTznX 維尼
Fuck, how long can she go at this for.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU9u36TAJF 維尼
I was extremely worried for her well being but I knew now wasn't the time to question her. Ever since she laid hands on the black book, she went silent as if she was locked in her own world.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa9pQdovEM 維尼
I didn't know if it was the fact that she couldn't open the book that made her silent, but she wouldn't speak to anyone in the room. Even worse, she protested harshly whenever someone tried to pull the book away from her.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKZubaF2hF 維尼
I don't know what happened to her when her eyes went blank, but whatever it was, scared her so badly that she was making up lies to us. I couldn't believe it myself but I knew immediately that she was lying when she told the group that nothing happened after her pupils disappeared.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEwRoPWw1h 維尼
The scream she emitted was something I'll never forget in my lifetime. But I knew something was wrong afterwards.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S6eJgs4Pq 維尼
After living with her for several years in the basement, I knew Ariel like the back of my palm. And right now, our Angel was lying to us.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkIuor5rPW 維尼
But about what, I had no clue.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5fia81Z7 維尼
"Shoot," Arlo muttered, leaning against the corner wall. His eyes look tired but they like most of us in the room, were fixated on Ariel's every move.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BmyXGLzFy 維尼
"When we blackmailed the brothers," I asked, shooting a curious gaze at Arlo's, "How did you know where Lucius and his father were? How did you know they were in Paris?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SWGIgW7L9 維尼
"Ah that," Arlo said, dragging his eyes away Ariel's figure to stare at me. "I knew that because I'm an extremely intelligent individual."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡibqaJmcufh 維尼
"Jackass," I snorted, and divided Ariel's hair into three sections so that I can put in a braid. After taking care of Ariel's hair for a long time, braiding her hair was second nature to me. "But seriously. How the hell did you know that? Did you overhear it from the brothers beforehand?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnMmqMa7r5 維尼
"No," he replied, scratching the back of his head, sounding more serious now. "It was more like an educated guess."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsXzQJsqFE 維尼
"Oh?" I asked, waiting for him to continue. I messed up her braid and started over, letting my fingers run through her hair again. "Educated guess based on what exactly?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡom8wU5wtVM 維尼
"On scar-man's past actually," he responded, leaning his head back on the wall. "I've been doing some thinking lately, well more than I usually do anyways, and realized that most of the Shards' hatred is directed towards the Werewolf Kingdom."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqjnfFbKU0 維尼
"No surprise there Sherlock. They're the ones who began it all a century ago," I muttered, satisfied by the result of her braid this time. I released her hair, turning my full attention to Arlo now. "Tell me something new."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMZEO0mCv 維尼
Arlo ignored me and continued on a serious tone. "Well, then I started thinking that if the Werewolf Kingdom is the target of their anger, then I'm almost positive that they'll one day go back there to attack."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLaKZgJ2Ld 維尼
"I get that," I reasoned. "But why now? They're powerful people. For God's sake, they have powers that I never even knew existed before. Why would they wait this long before they attacked the kingdom?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgofzanM5U 維尼
"I think I have an answer to that too," Arlo replied grimly and at my questioning glance, he sighed. "Well answer this question for me, Orion. How do you feel?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOg13GUW4 維尼
My eyes snapped together. What an unusual question. "Umm...Hungry?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv3mlAPvO2 維尼
“Very funny," he wryly said. "I meant how does your wolf feel?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LUhfgtb7u 維尼
"I have no idea," I answered honestly, looking at him strangely. "He's been AWOL on me for a long time now."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡlquvpIY0mX 維尼
"Exactly," he replied, only succeeding in making me more confused.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbH8LoRPEV 維尼
"I'm not following," I replied and he sighed in frustration.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfOYGP5tv 維尼
"Why do you think our wolves are too weak to appear?" He asked before answering his own question a second later. "And it's not because of liquid silver."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡG317LavRr7 維尼
"It's not?" I asked in doubt, wondering what else would cause our wolf to disappear.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡDijYG1x7Zg 維尼
"It's not," Arlo confirmed. "Unlike Ariel, we been barely exposed to it. Only actual contact with the stuff would impede our werewolf shift."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZBv1E64C1 維尼
"Okay then," I said, thinking of the next logic answer. "Then I guess it's because we barely get to eat, drink, or even see the sun."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7UbiAQszf 維尼
"I don't think it's that either," Arlo answered grimly, shaking his head.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡda4PAIJ1C4 維尼
"Then what?" There was a sad, agonizing look in Arlo's eyes and I knew that whatever he was thinking of was bad.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwc2JHed9 維尼
"I think something or someone in this house is draining our power and strength," he finally replied, looking down on the ground. "I think that's the reason why us Alphas, and the Vampire Prince were originally brought down here."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡWitWbiiTp1 維尼
I was totally floored, never once thinking along these lines. "But what about Lucius' plan to get the werewolves and vampires to hate each other so that they can start a war? Are you saying that was a lie?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6IU7f259C 維尼
"No, like I said, these are all just guesses I'm making," Arlo replied. "Maybe the supernatural creatures are at war with one another. Who knows?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPKHErAPfs 維尼
"But," I can tell that there was more to it than that.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiaVdkpQuX 維尼
"But...if that was actually the case then why are we still alive?" Arlo asked finally, bringing back points from a previous conversation he had with Lucius. "Ariel's alive because of Lucius’ delusional fantasies. But what about us? If Lucius and his father's true goal is to get the werewolves and vampires to be at war with another, it doesn't matter if we live or die. So my question is, why are we still alive?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDpflT8ly 維尼
I stared in stunned silence,"You think it's not about a war after all?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7Sf3WpNFv 維尼
Arlo looked pained but slowly nodded. "I don't just think it. I'm almost sure of it. Lucius is draining our power somehow. Remember how Ariel once told us that something about this place is severing her bond with nature? I think she's right. Whatever is holding her back from connecting to the elements of nature, is not only blocking our werewolf shift, but it's also draining power from us as well."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdZZ3qYfwN 維尼
" Christ," I whispered, finding an answer to my own previous question. "So the reason why after three years, Lucius and his father are brave enough now to enter the Werewolf Kingdom is because they're more powerful now."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuYQSoGAmB 維尼
"And it's all thanks to us," Arlo concluded grimly. "There are still so many unanswered questions that we're facing but for now I can only ask you this: How much more powerful can they get if they continue to drain our Alpha powers dry?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy2dThc9jM 維尼
"If they kept us here forever..."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFtoFiVVu6 維尼
"Then they'll be unstoppable," Ariel whispered at last, wrapping her knees together in her arms. She rested the side of her head on her bent knees but she didn't shut her eyes. Instead her eyes were solely focused on Trenton and like before, I did not like it one bit.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbETqa6LvD 維尼
I especially did not like how her hand refused to drop the book down even for a second.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBJ34D01W 維尼
"Alright," I answered, tearing my eyes from Ariel's hunched form for the moment. "If what you're saying is true Arlo, what or who do you think is draining our power and making the two bastards more powerful?"8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo3IqxQLbx 維尼
"That's a loaded question," Arlo sighed." It can range from anyone to anything. Lucius, his father, the house itself...hell it can even be non-existent for all I know. Does it really matter though? We're sitting ducks here. There's no one that can save us and now I can see that there's no thing that can save us either."8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0953ykDgK 維尼
There was a long silence after that and I was surprised that it was our Angel who broke the tension in the room.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4JBgYUkQA 維尼
"And that's where you're wrong," Ariel spoke out clearly, standing up from her position in front of me. She swayed on the spot but this time, she didn't take my hand that I was offering her for support.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eKgxEvCTS 維尼
"What do you mean?" I asked, also standing up. Instead of the joy I should be feeling from her statement, all I felt was panic from her statement. It was that look in her eye again that made me feel anxious.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUHz56VNtn 維尼
The look of someone possessed; not at all like the Ariel I knew her as.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWuQGS9bTd 維尼
"What are you talking about?" I asked again, so afraid for her next words.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7GjaNxzzF 維尼
But she didn't answer.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaiuIBRV5M 維尼
She regarded me with a blank look and I swore that for a moment, I saw a small flash of a smirk appear on her face.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DPJkDTM3c 維尼
A good several seconds of silence passed before she herself broke it...by fainting and plummeting head first into the ground.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs12a6h6cw 維尼
The loud sound not only caught all the Alphas' and Leon's attention, but it also propelled the two Sherman brothers into action.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHAkXLnjKn 維尼
"Oh shit," someone muttered, as my mouth went dry from how everyone's nerves were skyrocketing to the roof in a millisecond.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq6q3Yi6KO 維尼
Everything was going too fast and I didn't know which factor needed to be addressed first.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0e7aq6QyZ 維尼
Ariel's well-being? The Sherman brothers? Trenton's life on the line?8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5kzA8r8mP 維尼
It was all too much.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZD6JmHfL 維尼
Some part of me tried to calm down, reiterating the fact that we can still blackmail the brothers to reconsider their action. But that part quickly died on me, seeing David pull out his deadly sword from the strap attached to his back.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3GI6iprm 維尼
There was a dangerous glint in his eyes, and I knew that words wouldn't change their action this time around. His eyes seemed possessed as if his body is being controlled by someone else. Someone evil.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Swvvl9HNx 維尼
Stepping in front of a shell shock Trenton, whose attention was still fixated on Ariel's form, I knew that this was going to turn into a bloodbath very soon.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3igS9Azhh 維尼
