Chapter 12.ONCE UPON A TIME.Clary's POV.“What are you going to do with that?” I asked, glancing at Reggie as he gripped a crow bar. His back was turned to me. Perhaps, he was contemplating on whether to use it or not. I know he didn't ask, and by the look of things, it was obvious that he won't. Still, if he wanted my penny worth of advice, then I'd tell him to drop it. If anything, he's got every weapon he needs in his head. So, why does he need to take a physical one? “What do you think?” he said, turning to face me as if he'd made a decision.Watching him walk towards the door, I needed no one to tell me what decision to took: he had made up his mind to use the crow bar on whoever was behind the door.“Hey,” I called, gripping his arm as he was just about to walk past me. “Are you sure you want to do this right now?” “Of course, I am.” he said, in a low voice. “We don't know who is behind that door. It could be anyone. It could even be the government military. Right now, this

Chapter 14.THE BETRAYAL. Carly's POV.“Can you just stop giving me that look already, huh?” Reggie said, a frown creased his forehead as he dropped the wooden box on the table and turned to face me. “You have been looking at me that way for only heaven knows how long.” “Really?” I asked, jerking my head back slightly. “You want me to stop looking at you this way? How am exactly am I looking at you? Besides, do you even realize what you've done?” “Oh, so this is about the men I killed, right?” he asked, raising a brow. “Of course, it is.” I said, speaking through my teeth. “You shouldn't have killed them the way you did.”“It was either them or us.” he said, pointing a finger at himself. “If I hadn't killed them, then they would have killed us instead.” “You have only made matters worse, Reggie.” I said, shaking his head. “This is only going to cause more trouble for us. Do you think the government will just sit back and watch as you have murdered two dozen soldiers?” “I don't e

Chapter 16.HOW LATE IS TOO LATE?Clary's POV.“What's wrong?” Reggie asked, turning back to face me as he noticed that I suddenly stopped walking. “We should keep going; there's no time.” “Don't act you didn't hear what Dawson or whatever he calls himself said back there.” I said, my voice laced with concern as I shook my head. “You clearly heard him as much as I did. What do you think he meant by plans have changed? Don't you think we should go back for Colin?”“Look I understand how you feel right now. And trust me when I say I feel the same.” he said, with a soft look in his eyes. “However, there's nothing we can do about that. We just have to keep moving. If we return now to save him, then his sacrifice would be for nothing.” “Really? Is that what you think?” I asked, narrowing my gaze at the words. “We are talking about your friend here, Reggie. And you're just going to allow those men do whatever they want with him? Is that it? How on earth would he bring that shack to them w

Chapter 18.A MYSTERY SCROLL.Clary's POV.“Here,” my dad said, extending a hand towards me with a small box in his grip. “We believe it belongs to you.” For a moment, I darted my gaze back and forth as I glanced at my mom, then to my dad and then back to my mom again, with a look that demanded an explanation masking my face. However, as if noticing the look on my face, with a subtle nod of her head, she asked me to receive the box from my dad. “What's inside?” I asked, in a curious tone as I received the box from him. “Have you opened it yet? Besides, where did you find it because I don't recall keeping anything like this before I left this place.” “Why don't you open it first and see what's inside before asking more questions?” my mom suggested, with a smile. “Perhaps, you'll get to know more about it if you do so.” I wasn't one to go against her words. And certainly, I wasn't planning on doing so. But then, Reggie's words kept ringing in my head. I only wanted to make my prese

Chapter 20.AN EXPENSIVE JOKE.“Won't you just tell me already, huh?” I asked, following behind as Reggie walked back to the window. Yes. You guessed right. Since the very moment he mentioned that there was a rumor about such child, I'd been trying to get the words out of his mouth. But he just wouldn't say a thing. Instead, he's been taking me all around the room. Just name it, the kitchen, the door, sitting room. Practically anywhere you can think of. But certainly not his bedroom and restroom. However, he's just been making me feel like a girl desperate to get her lover back. It just didn't make any sense. I mean, if there truly was a rumor, then why hide it from me?Besides, it's a rumor. And we all know that more often than not, rumors end up being false news. But maybe, not this one. In the meantime, he paused in his tracks and turned back to face me.“Why exactly do you want to know?” he asked, in a curious tone. “If you haven't heard or seen something, then you wouldn't be
