nAnd suddenly, my hearing disappeared as my vision slowly faded into darkness.

n…

nWhen I awoke, my head was absolutely throbbing, and the sensation of a blade running through my gut still echoed in my mind.

nI could feel my flesh molding around it, my blood lubing it up for it to be slickly taken out of my body so I could easily and quickly bleed to death.

n“*sigh*… Fuck,” I muttered as I lay my palms against my face.

nMy headache didn’t seem like it was going to go away any time soon, so I just lay there, hoping somebody was around to slide me a pain killer.

n“Hey, she’s finally awake,” A familiar voice permeated through the air but went in one ear and out the other.

nI was in too much pain to even try and focus on who was talking.

n“You good?” Findir asked as he slowly removed my hands, my eyes immediately locking onto the dim moonlight.

n“Hey… Did you hear what that mother **er said… He said Orion sold us out to him… That **ing bastard! I SWEAR TO GOD! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM! I’M GOING TO FUCK HIM UP!” I shouted before pushing Findir away.

nI rummaged through our storage and got the pain killers myself, tossing them into my mouth and chewing on their bitter bodies.

n“That seemed like a bit too many,” Aisa’s worried tone caressed the inside of my ears.

n“Shut the hell up and focus on yourself… goddammit… I thought he told me everything, but he still sees me as a pawn… he still sees all of us as a pawn… bipolar mother**er,” I muttered through gritted teeth.

n…

nA few days had passed, and we arrived at the entrance to the Wony household, where I could tell a fight had broken out, but that was the least of my concerns as I stormed into the building and charged to Orion’s room.

nAnd there he was, laying down on his bed with an almost child-like smile as he scrolled through his phone doing who knows what.

n“BASTARD!” I shouted before lunging on top of him and grabbing his throat, pressing my thumbs deep into his windpipe.

nHe immediately began to struggle against me and soon tossed me off of the bed, sending me sliding across the slick wooden floor.

n“What the ** was that for…?” He muttered, catching his breath and occasionally coughing up some blood.

n“YOU TRIED TO KILL US! WE HEARD FROM THE BONEBLOOM HEAD THAT YOU SOLD US OUT! WAS THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED MADE UP BY YOU?!” I shouted across the room before taking one of the glass bottles in the room and throwing it at him.

n“Possibly… but if you want to fool the enemy, then you must fool your allies first… ever heard of that?” He asked me, but that just didn’t make sense unless the plan we made together was actually a decoy, and he had a better plan.

n“Tch… What is the real plan? If you can’t tell me the real plan and you just did this for your amusement, we’re fighting to death right here and now,”

n“And you think you can beat me?”

n“Of course, I can… pussy. Now answer my question,”

nThe air within the room became so thick that it was like walking in a pool of water; only the water was actually our bloodlust and emotions clashing against each other.

nSparks of pink and red lightning destroyed pieces of the wall, ceiling, and floor, causing the maids who tried to check up on us to take a step back out of the room.

n“Tch… Fine. I’m setting up the perfect backstab because I’m sure you know none of us can match him. None of us will be able to win against him in a one-on-one fight. In fact, even if we took all of us, the commanders, and the mages, I doubt we could still even win. There is a chance, but that chance is one out of a hundred,”

nI looked down at the ground as everything made perfect sense… even not telling us the real plan.

nWe would’ve definitely been warier, and judging from the difference in our power, the head would get suspicious as to whether we actually knew we would appear or not… and our fear was genuine at that time as well.

n“Son of a bitch… YOU STILL ALMOST GOT US FUCKING KILLED!” I shouted before lunging at Orion once again and throwing a punch straight at his nose, surprisingly clocking him in the face.

nI was a bit shocked that my fist actually landed, but after seeing how Orion intentionally took the punch and was winding up for something much bigger, my face turned pale with fear.

n“HOLD THEM BACK!” A voice suddenly erupted from behind me, and my body was pulled back away from that wound-up punch.

nHe cracked the bed in half, even with the elasticity of the mattress and covers sprawled around him.

nCy was holding him back by his arms, him just barely struggling to keep Orion calm, and I wasn’t any better as Bella had to hold me back as well.

n“YOU WANNA FUCKING GO!? LET’S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE!” I shouted, and Orion’s angered expression turned into that of a pissed-off grin.

n“Alright bitch, let’s go,” He smirked and then ripped away from Cy’s grasp.

nWith a glare, he stormed outside of the room, and the last words he muttered almost sent me into the chasm of rage.

n“This is why your family never loved you,”

nThose eight words ate away at my mind, and I immediately used an illusion to slip out of Bella’s grasp and tug on his hair, pulling him in for an even harder punch that he threw at me.

nMoonlight Enhancement

nThrough the window, the sunlight turned into moonlight which slowly wrapped around my fist.

nBAM

nOrion was sent flying across the hall, only stopping by creating a massive crater in the wall that shook the mansion itself.

n“AND THIS IS WHY YOUR MOM NEVER FUCKING LOVED YOU!” I shouted back, and the entire mansion seemingly went silent.

n
