The silence was broken when they heard a pair of footsteps coming down to the kitchen.
"Good morning pals! Why the solemn faces?" Team said as he yawned and stretched his arms. It was soon followed by Simon and Rose who proceeded to the living room and sat down on the couch while rubbing their eyes.
"Nothing. It's just that we finally figured out the cryptic message that was given to us by the Queen last night." All three pair of eyes stared back at them in shock. Team gulped as he sat beside Seth and patted his back eagerly.
"Nice work, Sethy!—"
"Hey! I'm not Sethy!" Seth interrupted but Team just continued as if he didn't hear him talking.
"Now we can finally get some action and kick some Black Wolf Clan ass! I'm itching to use my hands and weapons in a bloody fight. Now, what's the plan?" Team asked as he turned to his friend in question. Ash sighed as he repeated the di
"Let's get some action!" Team roared as he pressed the engine booster with his feet that made their boat speed up in an instant."Team slow down!" Ash cursed inwardly as he and Rose gripped the hull and starboard for support. They felt like they would be knocked out and drown in the water if they let go. Team had pressed the booster and their boat was driving at an incredible speed as they chased and slowly catching up to the vast ship that was now only a few meters ahead of them."There's no time for caution, Ash. Only fast forward. Now get your cute ass here and maneuver the boat while I make some bloody move in order for us to be able to board the ship." Team said as he stood up effortlessly, as if the incredible speed of the boat didn't affect his balance. He picked up his hunter bag and rummaged through it, finding the perfect weapon he needed for them to board the ship.Ash on the other hand struggled with his bala
A loud crash suddenly echoed around the ship and Team was brought back from his thoughts. He tilted his head slightly out in the open just enough to see what was going on, and was delighted to see the scene before him. Luckily Rose was able to join him as she advanced in quick motion towards the enemies, occasionally ducking her head as she avoided the bullet's trajectory path. She drew the dagger that was hidden on her wrist as she wrapped her palm around it, and swung her elbow as she ripped the skin on her enemy's chest and pierced his flesh. Blood spurted out from the man's chest as he shrieked in pain, causing him to drop his gun and collapse on the floor.She quickly grabbed the man's gun as she kneeled on the floor and without glancing back, she raised the two guns she now acquired over her shoulder, upside down and fired behind her. The sound of metal hitting metal, the riffling sounds of gunshots and the cries of her enemies as their blood oozed out wer
Ash eyes started to stir as he felt a soft and smooth palm caressing his cheeks. It was such a light and calm gesture that reminded him of someone from the past. He slowly opened his eyes to know what was going on around him, to confirm if what he suspected was right and he wasn't disappointed. In front of him was Team older brother, Will, who was caressing his cheeks as he pulled the strands of hair behind his ear. It was the only sweet gesture that Will did to him when everything else he did was filled with mockery and sarcasm just like his friendship.Just as Ash opened his eyes, he soon found himself struggling with keeping them open. The comfort of the soft mattress provided him was lulling him back to sleep. But he knew he couldn't go back to sleep. He still needed to confront the older boy in front of him. What he was doing here, when there's a war and a fight going on? And most importantly, where were they for the last three years? Why didn't they resurf
"Ash, Ash!" Alexander voice loomed in as Ash slowly awoke from his deep slumber. He opened up his eyes and found his vision to be unfocused. His whole body was wet, and he shivered when he felt the cold breeze of the wind on his body. He tried to suck in air and his body spasmed. He jolted upright and found himself vomiting, expelling the water he drunk a while ago, until he could finally breathe once again. But he still felt like his lungs was on fire.This gesture, however, made the people surrounding him sigh in relief. Relief flooded in their faces as Ash finally woke up, and survived. They were seriously afraid that Ash would drown in the river. When Ash finally regained his breathing, he finally had the chance to look on his surroundings.Three worried faces filled his sight. Ash observed that their breathing were a bit ragged, there were big tears starting to form in their eyes. Ash tried to remember everything that happened, the ship
"What Ash?""Nothing. I think my head hurts from the impact from a Fey's attack earlier. But I am fine now. And besides, we need to go back to the ship. We need to—"Just then, a loud noise of gunshots resounded around them and everyone ducked as they found the water surface shaking. The water splashed violently around them as the bullets landed in the water, soaking their bodies in the process. Simon pressed the button to close the hood of the boat, providing them with a temporary shield to protect them from the attack."Shit. Seems like the Black Wolf decided to call for additional backup." Simon said as he stared at the pier where they were just an hour ago. He could see two boats from the pier were approaching towards their location."Shit. I want to fight along with you, but Team—"Ash said as he thought hard about what choice he should do and what decision he should follow. He was torn between the two. He
Ash and Alexander carried Team body to hide him carefully behind the cargo box, not wanting someone to find Team and attack him in such a defenseless state. Ash removed the extra cloth Alexander had wrapped around him a while ago and covered Ash body with it instead. A minute of silence reigned until both Alexander and Ash stood up and turned around with determination written on their faces.They took a few steps forward, ready to engage themselves into battle and attack their enemy when they stumbled back as they felt the ship started to move. Only then Ash realized what was going on."Shit! They're starting to move again! The Fairy Clan hasn't stopped yet. We need to act quick, Alexander. Or else we wouldn't be able to get out off this ship!" Ash yelled as he tried to regain his balance from the moving ship. He extended his hand to help Alexander in which the latter received and gripped him tightly.When they had found
Everything happened in a blink of an eye before the remaining enemies understand what was happening to their leader. They momentarily stood frozen, completely abashed by the scene that happened. But Alexander took that opportunity to launch his attack. Alexander stood and with great flexibility he grabbed his two guns and threw it off in the air, as he advanced on the two men in front of him and grabbed their heads and smashed it together. The impact was so strong and hard that he swore he heard a crack and the two body laid limp on the floor, but Alexander was not done yet. He wanted to make sure they're all drop dead. And so he slammed his body on top of them and raised his two hands with his palm open, just in time the two guns landed on his hands and he swung his shoulders down and pointed the gun over their chest, like the way he did to the previous man, and pulled the trigger."You motherfucker!" The last two men behind him screeched in anger as they drew
The last things Ash heard were the sweet chirping of the birds and the light breeze of the wind cooling his body as the last remnants of his sleep left. When he opened his eyes he was greeted by the warm rays of the sun piercing through the window curtain that made him close his eyes again from the pain of the light. After a few seconds he slowly opened his eyes once again as he adjusted his eyes to the light around him. The first thing he saw was white.Weird.As far as Ash could remember, there were no shades of white on the night of their fight. Everything was covered with darkness, deep crimson coming from the large amount of blood that had been spilled on the ship, and the deep orange hue that symbolized the true terror of the Black Wolf plan. It was—Ash eyes widened as if the fog had been lifted and suddenly, all he could see was the scene that made his blood run cold, and the terror and fear shook him throu
