Chapter 14: Preparing
P.O.V. [Name]
I sighed as we reached the building that Cinder was staying in. As I did I heard a familiar voice say in my ear. "Are you sure this is going to work?" I heard Adam ask from a small ear piece.
"Yeah, despite what you think my uncles actually pretty strong," I said trying to reassure them.
"So when do we start?" Adam asked as he looked at the building.
"As soon as the power goes out," I said as I looked at the building, and as soon as I said this the power began to flicker before turning off. I smiled seeing this and me and Neo jumped down and began to make our way towards the building. As we did I looked around to make sure that no unexpected guards were around. I felt a bit at ease seeing that there weren't and we came into the building.
As we did we hid behind anything we could find and Neo looked at me. I nodded seeing this and activated my semblance before reaching into the metal crate behind me and pulling out a small dust crystal. I threw it to the other side of the room. My semblance made it fairly easy to throw the crystal and as soon as I did it gained the attention of the guards.
Me and Neo began to run towards the room together. I then heard a loud explosion and I smiled. It seemed like my uncle was doing his part. As soon as he did I noticed that all the other guards turned to look at where the sound had come from. As they did we both jumped up and grabbed one of the several metal bars.
I pushed up on the ceiling revealing a small cavity between the ceiling and the roof. I watched as Neo began to make her way over to me and she crawled into the small space. When she did I followed behind her and placed the piece of ceiling back so that no one could see that we were in the building.
"I'm in position," I once again heard Adam say from the small device. I was a bit surprised that he had managed to get to where he was supposed to so quickly. He's a lot faster than I thought.
"Come on, let's go Adam's waiting for us," I said as I looked at Neo. As did Neo nodded however for some reason I felt like she was nervous. We began to walk through the small area, and I tried to remember the blue prints that I saw to locate where we were.
We continued to make our way towards the room that we thought Cinder would be in. However as we were I suddenly felt Neo grab my hand and stop. When she did I turned to look at her a bit concerned. "What's wrong?" I asked as I looked at the female in front of me.
When I said this Neo looked down, it seemed like she was a bit conflicted about what she was about to say. Is she scared? "[Name] I . . . I love you, and I was going to wait until after this was over to tell you but . . . now that I'm here . . . I realize just how bad of an idea that is," Neo said as she looked at me.
I was a bit confused hearing this but took both of her hands in mind. "It's okay," I said with a smile trying to reassure her. "I'll always be here for you," I said as I looked at the female in front of me. Neo smiled hearing this but she still seemed a bit conflicted about what she was going to say.
"[Name]," Neo began as she took one of my hands and placed it on her stomach. "I'm pregnant," Neo said as she looked at me. My eyes widened hearing this and I looked down at her stomach.
"A-are you serious?" I asked as I looked at her and she nodded a bit nervous. I smiled hearing this and reached forward to hug the female. "That's great," I said as I looked at the female. Neo smiled hearing this and leaned forward to kiss me.
"Don't worry," I said as I looked at the female in front of me. "I'll protect you, when we meet Cinder," I said as I placed my hand on her stomach and looked down at her. "Both of you," I said with a slight smile. Neo smiled hearing this and she hugged me. I returned her embrace feeling this and after a minute of hugging we separated and I looked down opening a piece of the ceiling.
When I did I looked down and saw that there wasn't anyone but Adam waiting for us. I smiled seeing this and stepped into the hallway. I then held out my arms and Neo landed in my arms. I smiled seeing this and moved her so that she would gently land on the ground. "Are you ready?" Adam asked as she looked at us.
I nodded hearing this and readied my weapon. When I did Adam reached for his blade and we kicked in the door to the room we knew Cinder would be in. When we did I saw her staring at us. "It's about time you showed up," Cinder said with a smile as she looked at us. "I was starting to worry that you had lost your nerve," Cinder said with a smile.
We all readied ourselves seeing this and Cinder smiled and one of her eyes flared to life with a strange fiery energy. I wasn't aware of this ability of hers, I thought her semblance was dust manipulation but made I was wrong. Maybe she's just really good at using dust and this is her real semblance. "Well then, let's get straight to the point shall we," Cinder said with a smile as she looked at us.
