“They need to all be gone.” Silas Homer asserted, causing the group to turn their attention to him. “I couldn't agree more.” Edward Dennin chipped in while others remained quiet. Silas walked towards Edward and patted his shoulder twice before finding his way to a seat in the dimly lit room. “Good. And with that being said, I have a mission for you Dennin.” Silas said, flipping through the papers on the table. “Alright. Tell me, what it is.” Edward said, moving his chair to the left side of the room so he could be close to Silas. “You will be the one to eliminate the first of our targets,” Edward raised a brow. “Who?” “Eric Borough, a senator. And one of the founding elite families.” Samantha watched in worried surprise as her father bobbed his head in a nod, “I'm honored, Silas.” He said with excitement painted on his face. “I'll make sure to not disappoint you.” “Eric is a tough one, Dennin. You must not be careless,” Jared Khan said, his seriousness etched into his face.
“Dad,” Trevor said, welcoming their father back to the hideout. Samantha suspected that her father was still angry about the earlier occurrence and her ‘tantrum’, as he called it. “How was it?” Trevor continued. Edward Dennin simply threw her another displeased look, before fixing his expression and walking inside. Trevor followed suit looking back to ask her what was wrong. He mouthed, his eyes widening as though he was shouting. “What did you do?”Samantha simply gave him a look that would tell a dumb goat that she just told it that it was stupid.Samantha stayed on the porch longer, hearing cheers from within the house. She suspected that her father was hoarding and soaking up all the praise that was poured on him.The journey back had been a horror.Samantha despite being so tired and exhausted didn't sleep a wink because of her deranged father. She feared that the man who seemed absolutely unhinged could kill her in her sleep. Samantha shuddered as the memory of the night bef
Sid Nivrone stared at his father, the man was deadly quiet. It was exactly one hour and forty-eight minutes after the clash between Samantha and Silas, with Samantha escaping with a few tears on her clothes and gashes on her skin, not badly hurt in Sid’s opinion.While she was hurt, his father didn't have a scratch on his body or even dust on his clothes. Sid's staring was because Silas wasn't lashing out, it was true that he wasn't one to scream like a banshee when he was angry. Sid had never encountered him in such a state, however the matter at hand was of someone trying to destroy his plans. The one he lived for. Even Sid had a difficult time guessing what his father was thinking. The hour had gone by with repairs being done to the walls of the house and the cleaning team dusting ash off of Silas's treasure trove.Sid glanced at his watch for the second time in that night.It said it's been ten minutes since the cleaning team left.Vatican Sol stood up to make a call, reducin
Alice had noticed someone following her since she got to the outskirt of the city. She wasn't wary, because she knew who it was. She simply led them to where she was going. Alice smiled, adjusting her bag. Gullible child, she thought. ‘She must really think I don't know she's following me.’ With that thought, Alice increased her pace and walked towards the cabin. * Stuck inside the house for days did nothing to Eren. It didn't make him wary or anxious. It gave him a sense of direction. They might not have had a plan but Eren wasn't shaken by the fact. Instead, he used the opportunity to get stronger, meditating and training. He knew something huge was coming, he could sense it. “Phew!” He huffed, hitting the dummy continuously with precise and calculated strikes. Eren drew out a long breath and exhaled in short puffs as he landed a blow beneath the dummy's head, around its jugular vein. The dummy flew out of position and hit the wall. Eren smirked. A normal human b
Hours rolled into days and days into weeks. Eren found himself planning with Samantha, Gaine, Drake, Kathlyn and Alice on how to steal back the Helm of Tyrants from Silas.The planning went smoothly, Eren's knowledge of Silas's house and Samantha's knowledge about Silas's plans was what they put together to create a reliable strategy on how to get the Helm of Tyrants back.“We need to get the Helm back as soon as possible. I feel like I'm gonna die of anxiety the more it's out there. Especially with a deranged monster. “ Gaine said, while facing the group at the table. His blue eyes twinkled with worry.“Not just any deranged monster, Gaine,” Kathlyn said, raising her lean first finger up as she returned to her seat with mugs of hot coffee and hot chocolate for herself. Eren eyed her, amused that she was not a black coffee girl.“A very deranged and powerful Awakened monster.” She folded her fist and hit the table as she finished, the mugs jerked and the liquid sloshed with the cup,
William Winchester sucked in a deep breath. Not of relief but of frustration. He had just barked orders to his subordinates, telling them what to do concerning the security of the Academy.The security personnel all shouted, “Yes sir!" Before heading to their posts and their duties.Another exhale came before William turned inside to head to the top floor of the Titan, using the steps because the elevator was still under repair from the attack and according to the supervisor of the repair team, it would take another forty-eight hours.The unnecessary exercise added to his mental stress and did nothing to his physical strength. He simply huffed and entered the executive passageway that led to his father's office, which was now his. It was the first place to be repaired because questions may arise if he left the gaping hole in the wall open.It was a sore sight to see, and visitors and his father's business partners would not have missed that.After closing the door of the office, he
“I'm afraid that's not gonna work, Kathlyn," Samantha said, pushing a chair back at the table to sit.“Why not? If you use fire.." Kathlyn argued, following Samantha with her eyes until she sat, still trying to prove her point.“Breaking in by melting his security box with fire? Really Kathlyn?" Gaine said in disbelief, his eyes saying I thought you're supposed to be smarter than Drake.Kathlyn hissed at him and went back to facing Samantha. Samantha gave her a no face and tried to explain her rejection.“The security boxes have sensors.” Eren said absentmindedly, taking the chance from Samantha. His eyes focused on the table.When Samantha noticed that he wasn't ready to continue his explanation, she did, "Yes, Silas spoke about it once. The sensors in the security boxes are designed with a face and gait recognition program.” Samantha looked around the room at her friend's faces. “Silas will know we are there the minute we are sixty steps away from the box. The sensors are wired to
Each step Zachary Winchester took to the entrance of the Titan was heavy and it filled his lips with silent prayers, and blooming hope that he was ready to listen to reason. His brother was afraid, he knew that, but he couldn't settle it to be a reason and an excuse for his errant and unthinkable actions in the past months after their father's death. He couldn't reason with him and wished that he'd at least listen to him or consider his words.“Phew!" Zachary exhaled as the stairs to the entrance of the ground floor came into sight.Even as Zachary was full of hope, he was equally filled with dread. He hoped that his brother's call was not a faze and that he knew about his knowledge about Eren and his group's whereabouts. Zachary already decided that he would not allow his brother to sabotage their plan no matter what it took for him to stop him.After a deep breath, he stepped into the private elevator, his heart thumping at every number countdown until he got to one, the top of
