After pulling on the black all-purpose boots, they left their room together. Then Row went right, and she herself left, toward the training hall. Next to the dining room, this was the largest room in the underground bunker. Row had been born here and they had used the bunker as their headquarters since Markus became a council member. The underground facility was also a good choice because a larger part of the council also lived in it. Of course it wasn't complete, it would have been too dangerous to be able to erase them all at once. Nevertheless, the bunker had so far remained unmolested by attacks. They were all very careful to keep his location a secret.
She strolled through the deserted tunnels. Apparently it was dinner time and most of the residents were in the canteen. After a few minutes, she arrived in front of the large double-walled door that was supposed to enclose the sounds of the exercisers in the room. Only muffled noises came out, telling her that a few
Until then, she wanted to vent a little with the punching bag, she still had way too much energy. For a while she just beat her fists on the firm, coarse leather and tried to keep the cinema out of her mind. It worked out worse and worse now. But it manifested itself in different lines of thought. They were rotating in a brisk exchange in her head and she was slowly wondering as if she was going mad. But you couldn't escape the past, no matter how far your feet took you. Whatever she did, as long as she couldn't undo that one event, she was never free.She punched with all her might, putting her desperation into a hard, straight blow, and lifting the punching bag from its attachment. Breathing heavily, she stood in front of her victim, who was now lying motionless on the ground. Then she heard a rough voice behind her. His voice!"Damn Aurelia, what louse ran down your liver?" She heard the smile in his words. One part of her got a shiver when she registered his presen
Because of her little outburst it became quiet and she noticed that the hall was meanwhile swept as if it were instructive. He raised his hands soothingly. "It's okay, I definitely didn't want to offend you!" He then said, slightly sour. "I…"At that moment the double doors of the large training room opened and Viktor stormed in, followed by Row and Aiden.Pareios turned around, startled. His expression suggested that he wasn't exactly happy about the interruption. He rolled his eyes when he recognized Viktor. What was that?Viktor looked angry, but he came straight up to her without detour. He grabbed her shoulders in concern and pulled her into a caring, fatherly hug. Past his ear she saw Pareios turn his head, now his face was no longer in her field of vision."I'm really sorry!" Viktor muttered into her hair. “If I had known that… I was really worried when you didn't wake up. But your heart was beating regularly, so I
Over the centuries they had spun their web all over the world. They looked for other Elevender to increase their power, created various secret organizations that have been tampering with throughout history. Tried here and there in larger and smaller actions to take over the regiment of all of humanity. But just as from the beginning there had been a small group of adversaries. And they survived to this day.For a long time they had been very few. Even today they were still outnumbered, but since the Hegeduns had tightened their grip on the world in the middle of the 19th century in order to squeeze out the last bit of human labor, the situation of the population had visibly deteriorated and they had more influx to get.Back then, the Hegedunen had covered up their operations with wars that had nearly dragged the world to its ruin.They had cleverly prepared the first of the two largest of these by usurping the money creation system in 1913. They financed t
Aurelia's cheeks flushed slightly, but she replied quickly and briskly. "Do not know. On a sudden whim, I guess… ”She hoped she'd managed to make the last part of the sentence sound promising. Unfortunately, since she rarely did, she was not very skilled at flirting. He raised an eyebrow and grinned cheekily, which, however, showed her that she had succeeded.He leaned conspiratorially across the table closer to her. "Couldn't you have had it earlier?"She laughed and replied succinctly: “Aaach, you know how it is, with moods. They come when they want, that can't be predicted. ”She gave him a mischievous smile, while she thought that moods disappeared just as quickly.“To hear THAT from you right now…. It's kind of absurd! ”He laughed out loud and threw himself back in his chair. Aurelia giggled too, after all, it probably was.He calmed down again and then said, still chuckling slightly: “No, seriously no
Aurelia stared into the darkness. While holding her breath, she tried to see who was sitting in front of her room in the middle of the night. All of a sudden a feeling of comfort crept right out of her heart. Like a chain reaction, it spread from one cell to the next until it completely filled them, from head to toe. It was like a warm blanket that enveloped her. She paused for a moment before realizing that it was her intuition that answered. Now she knew who was standing there, but that didn't make her relax. She had to control her throat immediately to avoid tasting bile again, after all she had only had a tiny breakfast. Because why the hell should he be sitting in front of her room at this ungodly time and obviously waiting for her?"What are you doing here?" It slipped out and she could hardly hide the surprise.Pareios got up and stretched. He stepped out of the door frame and now a glimmer of light that still reached from the dining room fell on his face. He lo
When she realized that there was no escape, it was like always in such situations in her life. She submitted to her fate. She would have to learn to deal with it. Maybe Pareios would do her a favor and turn away from her at some point.And that one thought again: could she endure this when the time came?Angry with herself, she paced the room a few times. Her mental state drove her around, she could no longer hold her body still. Sighing, she knelt on the floor and started doing push-ups. The steady up and down of her movement lulled her a little. She continued until her muscles burned and trembled. That was exactly what she wanted to reach. Now she had to use all the effort to keep going, forcing the muscles to overcome the cramps and keep moving the load up and down. At 300 she stopped counting but kept going. At some point she couldn't feel her arms anymore, so they gave under her and she fell exhausted on her stomach. It was circling more slowly now,
If she had been normal, she would have pityed herself now, but she never wanted to be like that. It served her right and she deserved it. In fact, she was almost ... satisfied. But she did not have the opportunity to abuse or to congratulate herself, because suddenly Viktor's comunicator vibrated. It only worked in the bunker and only team leaders had one.With his swiftness he carried the little silver device from his pocket to his ear without her being able to see the movement. "Markus?"He listened to the councilor, his features slowly hardening, then nodded seriously a few times. "Ok, we'll be right there!" With these words he hung up quickly. “Markus wants to talk to us, especially you! Syrus is done with the analysis! "*******Aurelia was on her way to Pareio's room. Viktor had had the brilliant idea that because of his speed he could get to the more distant dwellings of Row and Aiden and that Aurelia should therefore get Pareios, whose
The door was suddenly opened and the blonde beauty stuck her head through the small crack. She must have been awakened by the thud of his knuckles on the concrete and noticed that he wasn't there. The woman spotted the two of them and also noticed the tension in the air, because she put on a suspicious expression and opened the door a little wider. She was only dressed in the shirt that Pareios had worn yesterday and that certainly smelled of him. Aurelia felt envious that she was allowed to wear it. It reached her buttocks and her long, flawless legs protruded from below. Aurelia took note of this with disapproval, too, which made her loathe this bitch even more."What's going on Pareios, why are you not in bed anymore?" Said the woman with a wonderful soprano as clear as a bell. How had he managed to find Aphrodite's likeness and lay her flat in the middle of the night in just under two hours?Aurelia tried inwardly to slap her mind so that it finally woke up a
