5 years later.
The noise of gunshots was the only thing heard at the City, a few meters from the New York City. Ash was wearing his white robes and were seated in the middle row together with Rose, Simon, Team and Seth. After the firing ceremony the head motioned for them to be seated as she stepped into the stage to give her opening speech.
"My fellow White Wolf's Clan people, we are gathered here today to commemorate the tragedy that happened 5 years ago. 5 years ago, the London Enclave was brutally massacred by the Black Wolf's Clan Empire. It was such a catastrophic event for all of us. Half of our forces was killed including our former head, Jos, Sir Saman, Gide and Sophia, Samantha Collins, Jon, Jess Carstairs and among all other elite young Wolf's who were killed in the massacre and sacrificed their lives for the us. They were brutally murdered while it was being televised around the world. No one survived, it was indeed the most horrible thing that ever happened in the White Wolf's Clan History." Some of the fellow clan members burst out and cried at the mention of their beloved family or relative. While Ash and his colleagues were as stiff as a board as they fought hard not to cry and break in front of everyone.
They were very close to their seniors, they were practically like a big family together. Ash was still 14 while the others were 13 when the tragedy happened. They were still in their freshmen year in the Academy when Jon, Jess, Gideo and Sophie graduated and was assigned in the London headquarter. At that time Ash was the eldest among the group so Jon, Jess and Gideo bestowed him the responsibility to take care of their group. But then a year later, this awful news shattered them. It seemed everything had frozen and they couldn't breathe. , his bestfriend Team was devastated when he heard that his brother was dead, leaving him totally alone. The White Wolf's Clan grieved for their loss. Just then, the head, Jones Brandon stepped forward and rendered his speech.
"But then as a most peaceful Clan, we should not let their sacrifice be in vain. We must implement the law strictly and annihilate all the law-breakers. Especially those filthy Black Wolf's Clan member who wanted to control and dominate the world. We must seek justice for the tragedy that happened. It is our sole mission to bring them down! We don't want to have another London Massacre!" The crowd replied with synchronized "Aye!" while Ash just flinched at the voice of his father. His father hated the Black Wolf's Clan so much and had been an advocate on destroying them. The White Wolf's Clan continued on giving out their speeches in when they suddenly heard the loud voice of Ally.
The four of them stood frozen as their eyes shifted back and forth between Ash and Seth. The room was filled with silence as they digested the information about what was going on."The Queen of the Shadow Clan? What the hell is going on, Ash?" Ash released a heavy sigh as he shared a knowing look with Seth. Seth nodded as he went into his room and grabbed his laptop."Okay, before we begin this, shall we all take a seat while Seth is gathering up his things?"The four of them stared at Ash in confusion before they nodded reluctantly and went to find an available seat. After a few minutes a pair of small, quick steps rushed downstairs. Seth came in as he sat on the chair near the table and set up his laptop. After sorting out the information he gathered he turned his laptop to the audience. Four sets of eyes stared at his laptop and widened their eyes as they recognized the symbol.The f
Five hours have passed since Ash let Rose and the group roam around the city. He walked to the kitchen room of the apartment they rented and poured himself a cup of black coffee to make his system more alert. He just woke up from his sleep. The moment Alexander left, he immediately went to the nearest bedroom. The breeze of hot, humid air was making him weak. At first he thought he would enjoy the cold air around Wausau, since the city is covered with hemi boreal forests, not to mention their location is near the great Wausau River. But then he was wrong, he forgot to check that the temperature around the city during May is rising fast to higher temperatures. And because the heat was weakening his body, combined with the exhaustion he feels on his mental and emotional state, he allowed himself to finally have some sleep.But he didn't regret it at all. It was the best five hour sleep he had in his life, considering the tough situation they're in. And now
"Afraid I might change my mind?" Ash said before he heard the door slam shut. Ash was about to stand and turn around to head for the bed when the door slightly opened once again and there revealed the figure of Alexander."Are you sure you aren't coming, darling? It's boring to be here all alone, you know. I assure you, you will enjoy touring around Wausau.""Thank you for being thoughtful, Alexander. But really, I am fine. I seriously just want to sleep today. I am tired and exhausted. Maybe some other time, if we will have one. I promise then I won't be a killjoy anymore and join the fun. It's just that right now—"Ash statement was interrupted when he suddenly felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him."I know. I know you're too stressed today, Ash. But please don't push yourself. You can share this burden with us, you know. We're all in this together. And your sister is right, you need to loosen up. This case takes a to
The next morning, everyone was busy as bees as they unpacked their things, setting up the tools and the information they gathered for their investigation."Ah! God I am dead tired! You know, we all deserve to have some break. We will not start commencing an operation until tonight. Why don't we gift ourselves with roaming around the place and enjoy it during the mean time? It would be a waste if we don't get to enjoy the beauty of Wausau." Rose whined as she sat on the sofa and let out a heavy sigh."No can do, Rose. I am sorry that your first case is nothing but a shitty one like this. But as soon as possible we need to stop the Balck Clan. By tonight, I want us to be fully prepared in case something will happen.""Ash I know how serious and critical our mission is. But can't we have some breath of fresh air? I think anytime soon I'll combust from suffocating on everything that's hanging around my head right now." Rose h
Thankfully, their seats were not too far from each other, they only need to turn around or tap on their colleague in the front row. The seating arrangement inside the train is composed of two columns, with an aisle of the center. 3 people can occupy per row on the right column while two people can occupy per row on the left. Since majority of them are already in a relationship, they chose the 2 person per row."Well, I doubt you both are still single. But for technicality purposes, let's say we get a 3 seat row because obviously, we already have couples in the group. Either of you wouldn't want to become a third wheel for the lovebirds, right?" Rose teased as she threw them a wicked smile when they were reserving their seats on the internet.Ash couldn't help but groan when of course, he is paired with Alexander in the seating arrangement, seeing as they're the only ones who are still "single"."Hey, how lo
Ash couldn't help but groan at the thought. He dropped his head in defeat when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead."Ouch!" Ash yelped as he massaged his forehead as it bumped into the front seat."Why so glum, plum?" Ash eyes widened as he heard the beautiful melody of Alexander silky voice. He lifted his head again and took in the exotic beauty of Alexander. He was wearing a white thin shirt with its three first buttons hanging open. It was so thin that Ash swore he could make out his lean torso. He wore black spiky pants that matched his spiky hair that was covered in silver glitter. All in all, Alexander was just as breathtaking as ever."Nothing. I guess I am just too stressed up nowadays." He said flustered as he could hear Alexander footsteps coming towards him. Not a minute later he was embraced with a warm pair of arms and a blush stained his cheeks when he felt a light damp around his forehead, signali
