SIMON POV

"What have i done?!" This question keeps on repeating itself in my mind like an echo with a thunderous roar as i held my baby by my arms, hugging her tightly

'Keh! What are you wailing for you piece of meatbag?! You should be proud that we have already accomplished what we should have done a long time ago!!' Said Clyde with a snort

'The stinking dog is right my boy, there is nothing to wail as it is bound to happen someday anyways, so stand like a real man and face the world!!" Said Lucien with a smirk

I just ignored them and After a few more minutes of silently crying, i stood up carrying my baby bridal style and decided to just go back to the hotel but before i can walk any further, she begun to stir which stopped me from walking and looked down on her form...

I saw her stired a little until she slowly opened her eyes and looking up to me locking her stunning purple eyes to mine for a few seconds unblinkingly...

This surprised me though because it has just been 7 minutes since she fainted..

For her to regain consciousness so fast, it's amazing!!!

I mean, most of the girls who got marked will stay unconscious for hours!!

Even my own mother had been unconscious for half a day as father told me...

"Big brother? W-what happened?
I was jus-aaarrrgghh!!"
She screamed suddenly which nearly gave me a panick attack

"What's wrong baby? Does it still hurt?! Please answer me!!"
I asked but she just kept on screaming...

That's when i felt her pain through our bond which goes on for another few minutes until she stopped screaming and so is the pain...

I then instantly relaxed but was surprised when I felt myself being pulled into a place only god knows where...

I don't know any words to describe it but all i can say is that, it's related to something 'dark?'

It's pure darkness but what scared the bones out of me is that,

I know i'm here but i can't even feel my body!!

I don't even know if i'm thinking or what the heck am i doing right now!!

I felt like i was thrown into not just an Oblivion of pure darkness but also been deprived of all my senses!!

Wait!!

Am i saying this right now?

Or am i even thinking to begin with?!

Arrrgghh!!!

What the heck is going on?!

For the second time in my life,

I blacked out...

Not because of pain but from the extreme eeriness of being deprived to of your senses...

FAYE POV

After what felt to be like a hundred years, i woke up and looked up to see big brother's worried and reddish eyes as though he cried?

"Big brother? W-what happened?
I was jus-aaarrrgghh!!" I didn't get to finish my sentense when this pain sunddenly sprang out of nowhere which make me screamed

"What's wrong baby? Does it still hurt?! Please answer me!!"
I heard big brother worriedly asked repeatedly as he tried to inspect me with his trembling hands with panic but right now, i can't even find the right words to make a sentense...

All i know is that, the pain goes away as soon as it comes but the next thing i knew is that...

I was standing in a very dark place...

It's extremely dark that even i doubted my existence at first but the strange thing is that,

I'm not afraid even one bit...

after a few seconds more, the feeling of familiarity to this place came rushing like a water as i felt like i grew a sixth sense...

I then began walking following only my instincts but i knew that i'm not lost..

I felt like i've already been here in the past...

I then kept on walking until i felt something enveloping me into a mini whirlwind like...

I woke up from the loud shouting of people so i quickly stood up and it took me a few seconds to realize that i was...

Floating?

What the heck!!

As i tried to figure out why i'm floating, the loud roar of people made look down only to have my jaws dropping when i realized that i was in an old but very wide arena...

There are so many people cheering, shouting and even saying bad words so loudly to the people who are down in an enclosed but huge space down below..

Out of curiosity and excitement,
i watched them bare their teeth at each other...

That's when the referee spoked, According to him,

It was 3 vs. 230?

'Huk!! 3 vs. 230?!! Impossible!!! That many?!' I said not believing what i've heard

"Let the battle begin!!!" I heard him yelled

>>fastforward<<

Oh gosh!!

It was my first time seeing Something like this!!

The fight was so brutal!!

There are only 3 of then but it seems like they're not loosing...

After what seems to be forever of them fighting, it was finally finished...

The sight was horible with so much blood and different pieces of human bodies scattered around but somehow,

I'm not afraid anymore...

Heck!!

I even enjoyed the fight!!

Especially those blood and how those 3 butchered all of them like pigs strangely awoken something from deep inside me...

Seeing those actually got me...

EXCITED not AFRAID!!

What the heck is wrong with me?!

It's like there's something deep within me that wants to...

Destroy something?

I don't know and i also could feel that i could't control that urge!!

I was about to turn away when the the speaker talks again...

What surprised me even more is that, there was this strong energy pulling me to see what he was talking about so i turned around and came face to face with a woman who came out of nowhere...

I don't know why but My eyes then started to check out her features for a few minutes Which buffled me even more when i realized that we have the same features!!

The way she stands!!

The way she walks!!

Everything about her!!

But what upsets me is that,
i can't see her face!!

Her face is all blurry!!

No matter how much i make my eyes wider to see more clearly,

I still can't!!!

Or has my sense of sight detoriated already?!

No!!!

I'm still too young to be blind!!!

Wahhhh!!!

Big brother help me!!!

I was then snapped out of my trance when i heard the loud cheering from the people again so i looked down and saw 7 more of the people who dresses like those first 3 that defeated all those 230 men to death walking to the center one by one...

After that, 2 more armored men whom i inspected to be their leaders stepped out of the open but has remained not too far from the group...

"A sada dame i gospodo !!
Nakon 3 mjeseca čekanja !!!
To je to!!!
trenutak smo čekali !!!
Borba između
12 ludi ubojice IZVOZ
naš vrlo vlastiti Opći !!
OPĆI ASHFORD !!!!!!"
(And now ladies and gentlemen!!
After 3 months of waiting!!!
This is it!!!
the moment we have been waiting for!!!
The fight between the
12 MAD ASSASINS VS.
our very own General!!
GENERAL ASHFORD!!!!!!!)

The language is different again...

I think it's Croatian?

Something i have never heard in my entire life...

I'm amazed that i even know what langauge that is!!

But i'm even amazed by myself because i can understand it!!!!

Oh gosh!!

Am i really a genius in my previous life?

"Dame i gospodo , prije nego što smo prešli na našu konačnu bitku , prvo ćemo vam dati kratak sažetak o tome tko ili što su oni!!"
(Ladies and gentlemen, before we proceed to our final battle, we will first give you a brief summary of who or what they are!!)

The speaker begun to speak but i just Ignored it since my focus is on the girl...

All i ever heard about those 12 is that, they are the second most wanted group of assassins with hundreds of thousand dollar price upon their heads especially to the two leaders to anyone who can bring any of them back dead or alive...

I also heard that all of them have skills second to none during their prime as well as an endless bloodlust and that they have already brutally murdered countless of people in their lifetime blah blah blah...

I got a bit nervous for the girl upon hearing this but my nervousness soon faded away when i saw her calm posture...

Yes, i maybe can't see her face but i knew through instincts that she's not even afraid even after hearing what the speaker says about those 12...

My focus then averted on the girl with no face more intently than before when it is time for the referee to tell something about her...

According to the referee,

That girl is the 'General' of blah blah Army and that she has been handling it at a very early age blah blah but was then dissapointed when the referee didn't tell us her full name and age so i just contented myself in thinking that maybe, in this kind of fight to the death, it's a very important matter not to tell your full name...

"Mogu li vas podsjetiti borce da je to borba do smrti , dakle,
Postoji samo jedno pravilo u ovoj igri !! 'Ubiti ili biti ubijen !!! '
Sada , neka borba početi !! "
(May i remind you fighters that this is a FIGHT TO THE DEATH!! therefore
There is only one rule in this game!!
'To kill, or be killed!!!'
Now, Let the fight begin!!!)

As soon as the speaker said this,
he immediately ran as fast as he could towards the exit leaving the fighters behind just standing there and staring at each other for a few seconds...

It's like they're feeling their sorroundings, waiting for the first one to strike...

After a minute or so, she still remained there unmovingly so the 10 slowly walked towards her each with their own unique weapons and also with extreme caution until they sorrounded her completely...

Out of the blue, The 1st and 2nd member attacked first with amazing speed with all the intentions of cutting her into two or chopping her head off but she just raised her two hands to stop their attacks which surprised them...

Holding both their hands,
she proceeded on connecting her foot to the one on her left on his chest sending him flying and slumping so hard to the wall making a crater out of it with his already half dead body still on it due to his broken ribs before quickly twisting her body and slumped the 2nd member to the ground making another huge crater on it...

The 2nd attacker gave out a very loud moan of pain with the sickening sounds of his cracking bones before she got his weapon and with no hesitation, she ended his life with his own blade by strucking the blade streight to his head and squashing it open!!

At that moment, the buzzing audience from a moment ago stopped shouting and cheering...

Their expressions are priceless!

Some have their mouth wide open or jaws hanging with their eyes widen like the size of saucers!!

Not to mention that The place now is dead silence and i swear i can even hear crickets from afar!!

We all watched her slowly glancing on the remaining fighters across the arena when suddenly...

"Više !! Želimo više !! "
(More!! We want more!!!)

"Ubiti ih sve!!"
(Kill them all!!!)

"Ovo je najbolja borba ikada !! "
(This is the best fight ever!!)

"Želimo vidjeti više !!! "
(We wanna see moreeeeee!!!)
Blah blah blah...

Their loud shouting snapped me back from reality and that's when i heard the two leaders shouting from rage...

"Co to sakra čekáte pro vás zmrdi !! Získat ji !!
Chci ta děvka mrtvý!!"
(What the hell are you waiting for you scumbags!! Get her!! I want that bitch dead!!!)

With that, the 8 remaining fighters quickly attacked her, each with speed that cannot be seen by the naked eyes...

The 3rd member dashed towards her and slashed his big sword but she just sidestepped to the right and quickly grabbed the back of his neck gripping it so tightly until the bones in there snapped into two resulting to his instant death but before she let go of the body, the 4th member appeared behind her while the 5th member is already at her left side slashing their own weapons on her so she had no choice but to bring their 3rd members body so fast even in that angle and used it as a shield surprising the two before disappearing on her spot and reappearing behind their backs and with no hesitation,
She plunged her hands right unto the heart of the 5th member and pulling it out with his still beating heart while the body slummped to the ground so hard while convulsing...

The 4th member who saw this cannot even react and just stood there paralyzed until he saw his own body standing there like a statue before realizing that he was already beheaded by the demon in front of him as he slowly closed his eyes and breathed his last breath...

The woman then started to walk towards the remaining 5 members who at that moment are all in their fighting position but is walking backwards...

"Co čekáte ty hloupá spoustou !! Zabij , že kurva démon , nebo budu mít všechny své hlavy !! "
(What are you waiting for you stupid lots!! Kill that fucking Demon or i'll have all your heads!!!) shouted one the leaders angrily

With that, the remaining 5 dashed with blinding speed towards her and attacked in all directions with all that they have but she just evaded and blocked all of their attacks so easily...

This went on for a minute or two until they all got tired and decided to catch their breaths for a bit...

Landing on a good distance away from her while still huffing so hard, they all looked at the demon in front of them still unfazed, unmoving and unblinking...

After a few seconds, they decided to give it their best shots and finally end it all but something happened that got them shocked...

No matter how much they wanted to move, they can't...

It's like, their feet is stucked on the ground while some unknown or unseen force is holding them captive!!

They can't even lift a finger!!

With their body in that state,
they watched as she grabbed a sword nearby and strucked them one by one to their death...

They just stood there helplessly as they watched her behead etc etc their colligues one by one and it's already too late when they realized that they are under paralysis!!!

Yes!!

Paralysis!!!

I saw how She pressed each of their pressure point when she blocked all of their attacks but the amazing thing is that, they didn't immediately go paralyzed!! Instead, The effect took place after a few seconds...

All The audience at that moment was momentarily amazed and stoped all of what they are doing, their noises, shouting, and cheering resulting to the dead silence of the sorrounding yet again...

"To je to!!
Tyto pozemky jsou k ničemu !!
Budu tě zabít !! "
(That's it!! These lots are useless!!
I'm going to kill you myself!!) shouted angrily of one of the leaders and before the other one can stop him, he already dashed with speed that no eyes can see towards his target but before he can even make contact, he felt his body flying up on the air followed by a very sharp pain in his gut..

He felt like he was hit by a train or something so hard that his stomach would go bang anytime...

Before he knew it, he felt his back connected to the hard ground below resulting to a huge crater with him feeling that all of his bones are being crushed to pieces and his heart was also punctured 4x by his broken ribs...

He lets out a loud moan of pain with blood continiously spewing out of his mouth non stop...

His vision is now becoming blurry and it's also becoming harder for him to breath as the seconds passed but before he breathed his last breath, he saw the person responsible to his death walking away from him...

"D-DE-DÈMON!!!"
were his last words

"Ty idiote!!
Musíš prostě jít a zabít !! "
(You idiot!! You just have to go and kill yourself!!!) shouted angrily of the remaining leader but is wise enough to back away when he saw her slowly walking towards his direction

Running backwards to the exit,
he turned around and yelled...

"To nebude naposledy, kdy potkáme démona ! Dávej si pozor na záda ! Jednoho dne , jdu tě zabít tak bolestivě holýma rukama a pomstím!!"
(This won't be the last time we'll meet demon! I'll remember you!! Watch your back! One day, i'm going to kill you so painfully with my bare hands and have my revenge!!!)
he then quickly dissapeared as soon as he said those

After that, i looked at the girl only to be shocked when i saw her smirking devilishly especially when our eyes met!!

her eyes are blood red!!

It gives me an eerie feeling but at the same time, it also seems familiar...

Very familiar to be exact...

I then remembered the girl with the same eyes on the forest...

Then it hit me...

This girl and the girl in the forest are one!!

(Come back)

Huh? Did someone just spoke?

(Come back)

At that point, i'm now looking around like a mad person for at least a minute trying to look on whom that voice could be but to no avail...

(come back)

"Who'se there?!" I yelled but only got silence as an answer

In a blink of an eye, i found myself standing in the presence of the girl with blood eyes...

I then saw her moving forward towards me but instead of stepping backwards, i found my body immitating her every moves!!

It's like my body has a mind on it's own and no matter how much i struggled to break free, it's no use!!!

This then continued until the two of us met at the center...

Though she's so close to me, i'm still unable to see her face as it is still blury and all...

All i can see is her blood red eyes!!

I didn't even knew where i get the courage to face such a demon as We stared at each other for a few seconds...

"W-who are you?!
W-what do y-you w-want?!"
I have so many questions right now but these are the only questions i managed to voiced out since i'm already trembling

Instead of talking, she continued to stare at me with her dead and very emotionless eyes for a few more seconds...

"Come back... Come back to me..."

"W-what do y-ou mean?!
W-who are you?!"

"I am you... You are me...
We are but one entity..." She said with still with no emotions

"Huh? What are you talking about?
I can't understand.." I asked

"You'll know everything when the time is right... And when that time comes, i'll be waiting..."
She said before turning around and walking away leaving me confused, at the same time, scared

"Wait! Come back!! I just can't understand!! What do you mean when you said i'll know everything when the time is right?!" I yelled as i proceeded to run towards her but it's as if she haven't heard anything!!

Plus, she's already too far for me to reach...

Not to mention the invicible force that have been pulling me away from her making it so hard to run...

In the end, i gave up from exhaustion from trying to fight that force or gravity or whatever it is and felt my body slummped to the ground with me breathing so hard...

I layed there for a few seconds more before darkness consumes me into oblivion..
