DAISY

I gulp, staring at him.

My brain is trying to process what he just said, but the words keep sliding off the surface of my mind like water streaming off a glass window.

Trueblood.

One of the most powerful bloodlines alive in the world right now.

Me.

“I… I don’t feel powerful,” I say quietly.

“You haven’t awakened it yet, but it’s there. Dr. Audrey saw it in your blood work, and somehow, my aunt Fiona knows. That is part of the reason why she sees you as a threat.”

I pull my hands from his

    DAISYWithin five minutes, the door opens.Four men and two women in formal black suits file in and take their seats around the conference table that the King's assistant quickly arranged. Next, they are introduced as the Royal Intelligence Council, the people who help to handle threats by gathering information and coordinating security.After they are settled fully, King Matthias addresses them, wasting no time. “We have a credible threat against Daisy Caldwell and, by extension, the Royal family. I need your analysis about it.”Done speaking, he turns to Dylan and signals him to present the evidence again. Dylan obeys and the advisors watch the screen in silence, taking notes of everything being shown to them.When Dylan finishes, the oldest advisor—a woman with steel-gray hair named Director Calloway—turns to King Matthias.“The codename Mantis sounds familiar,” she says. “We have encountered it before in our intelligence gathering on Fiona Kingston. It appeared in intercepted comm

    DAISYMurphy Lynch.He… he is dead.And right now, I am trying to breathe properly even though I am still struggling to make sense of everything.King Matthias’s office is crowded with everyone around me. Liam is on my left side, while Ria and Suzy are on the other side. Dylan, Adam, and James are standing behind us, while the King himself is seated behind his desk.None of us have spoken anything for a while. Also, I still can't make my lungs work right.I still can't believe that someone has been watching me for months.The thought keeps circling in my head over and over again like a bad song that's stuck on repeat. Whoever Murphy was working for hired him to watch me and the bastard agreed to do so.For months.“Daisy?” Liam calls me softly, his hand covering mine. “Are you alright? You are shaking.”He is right. I am shaking. My whole body is trembling like I am cold, but I am not cold.I am scared.“I-I am okay,” I lie, trying not to worry him more than he is already feeling.Rig

    DYLANAdam takes the kitchenette, opening the drawers and cabinets. James comes back into the room after his phone call with Daisy ends and he starts checking under the mattress. Liam is examining the smashed monitors and other computer equipments that were destroyed.Me? I am at the closet.The tiny space looks so old and it is packed with junk. The moth-eaten shelves are full of old clothes, broken electronics, and so many stacks of papers. Quickly, I pull down everything to the floor, looking for any clue that might tell us who Murphy was working for, what he knew, or who killed him.However, there is nothing linking to any of that here.All I am seeing here is just garbage.Nevertheless, I keep searching, but all my efforts are fruitless.Already frustrated, I am on the brink of giving up and moving over to another section of the room when I suddenly notice something.The back wall of the closet is plywood, made of cheap material and poorly installed.However, on a closer look, I

    DYLANFuck. The building smells like piss and mold.The odor is so irritating that I have to wrinkle my nose and even hold my breath to prevent myself from gagging. My hand is resting on the knife tucked in my belt, and ahead of me, Adam, James and Liam are moving just as quietly like me.Murphy Lynch is a professional hacker and I want to believe he definitely makes a lot of money, so why the hell is he staying in a shitty place like this?Anyway, we continue climbing the stairs to the third floor. The Royal Guards are already positioned outside, two guards at each exit and they are all ready to catch Murphy if the fucker ever thinks about running.If he is smart, he is going to stay put and surrender because we are going to make sure he doesn’t slip through our fingers.His apartment, Apartment 3B, is at the end of a hallway that is too narrow with stuffy air. The fluorescent lights are dim and buzzing like they are about to die any time soon. Even the damned carpet is stained with

    DAISYStudy Room 4B is tucked in the back corner of the Academy library’s third floor. It is soundproof, private, and usually empty this time of the night, so it is damn perfect for what I need to do.Liam arrives first, his face full of worry.“What happened?” He asks as he hugs me, also planting a soft kiss on my forehead. “Are you okay?”“I am fine,” I say quickly. “But we have a problem.”Dylan shows up next, followed by Adam and James within minutes apart of each other.Now, everyone is here, all looking at me with varying degrees of concern and confusion.“Daisy, what’s going on?” Dylan asks.I wait until Ria closes the door and locks it.When she is done, I take a breath.This is it.“Guys, thanks for being here. Before I go ahead to tell you all about why I called this sudden gathering, I need to first of all tell you guys something important because it’s… it’s a secret I have been keeping for a long time now.”I pause for a bit, taking in their silence. They are all still wat

    DAISYWho the fuck is Leech200?“Daisy?” Ria’s voice sounds distant. “Who is behind the attack?”“Some hacker called Leech200,” I reply quietly.Leech200. I know that hacker, though not personally but I have seen the person’s signature works in underground hacking communities. This Leech200 is good. Really good and in fact one of the best freelance hackers in the dark web market.Also, I heard the hacker is fucking expensive. Someone clearly paid the hacker to do this to Quantum Solutions.But why?“Can you stop the attack?” Suzy asks worriedly.“Yes. I am working on it.” I nod and quickly start deploying further countermeasures that are specifically designed for DDoS attacks; rate limiting, traffic analysis, challenge-response systems. Writing the code is hectic right now, but I have no other choice but to keep going, each line of code scrolling across my screen so fast it is almost a blur. The lines of commands and protocols keep flowing out of me, and I am fucking determined to suc
