“So, since we're here to get your mate Alexander, what’s the plan?” Christian asked me as he searched around us, making sure no one was going to jump out and get us.
“Yeah, what’s the plan Alex?” chimed in Aren. Honestly, I didn’t have a plan. When Lyra, reluctantly, told me that Quinneth came to Insofar to awake The First Power I immediately knew I had to come and get her. The first people I called were my best friends, Aren and Christian, to come and help me.
I couldn’t tell my father; they already risked their lives to save her the first time I don’t think he would be too keen to save her again. Also, they are my best friends they would do anything to help me and I them.
“We uh- we could.” I start to stutter over my words.
“I can’t believe you Alexander. You brought us out here and you have NO plan.” Even in the harsh darkness I can see an angry look on her face. The first rule of being the Alpha’s child, you never go anywhere without a plan, a clear plan at that.
“I thought irrationally about this. I had to come quickly before they did something to her, or she did something. When we came here, I thought a plan would come to light, but it hasn’t.” On the side I see Christian's thinking place, out of the three of us he’s the one known to have the best ideas. And right now, looking at him, I could tell he had an idea.
“What are you thinking about Christian?” I asked him, fingers crossed.
“Look at those guards up there.” We, me and Aren, turned our heads towards the nod of his direction. There were two guards, one a woman the other a man, they stood tall. Guns held in front of their bodies; a stoic look on their face. The insofar guards are known to be tough, and strong.
A few days ago, when me and my father, and others from the pack, came out here to scare Yount to leave Quinneth alone, we had a hard time fighting them. Since they have Sylo, and were not familiar with his technics, it was a challenge. I’ve never had a problem fighting, besides Sasha, I felt so out of touch.
“What about them?” said Aren.
“We could steal their uniforms, walk the lands freely and get to Quinneth. No one would suspect guards.” He had a good idea, like I thought he would have.
“That- that’s really good. So, since Alexander dragged us here, he can go out first.” I give Aren a dirty look. “Look at me like that all you want, just go.” I let out a sigh.
“Fine, when I knock out the woman, you guys go and get the other two. They’ll be off guard.” They both in agreement.
Lifting myself from behind the bushes, I find my legs hurting. We’ve been in that crouching position for 20 minutes, and I felt the pains instantly. I tune out the pain, not letting it override my plans. Quietly walking around the trees, I take them in.
If I attack one, the other will get me. I have to distract them, lure one of them to me so I can get the uniform. Beside my foot I see a huge rock, this will do. Slinging the rock on the far side of where I was locating, the guards head turned immediately.
“What was that?” she asked.
“Probably an animal or something.” her partner said. He seemed no moved from the noise, unlike she was.
“No, that was something, someone. You stay here I’ll go check it out.” She leaves her position and starts to walk in the direction of the noise. Her guns are held tightly in her hands, all I can see is myself killing her. I can’t wear her uniform so it’ll go to Aren.
“Looking for something.” I ask her. She turns towards me, her gun coming up pointing in my face. “I wouldn’t do that if I was you.” My hand grips the gun, turning it towards the ground. A gun goes off twice, bullets entering into the crust of the earth. The noise rings through my ears, causing loud piercing ring to surge through me. I don’t let that stop me though, after a few punches to the face I take her down.
I originally was going to kill her, but pity took over me so I pushed her pressure point and now she’s asleep. Taking off her uniform, I feel bad to leave her naked so I put my jacket over her ever so gently. She’s going to be so angry when she wakes up, and cold.
Walking back to the bush we were currently at; I see two more guards laying on the ground. Above them stands my best friends. Christian starts to strip one of the guards and puts on his uniform. I throw Aren the uniform I got from the lady guard, while she throws me the other guys uniform.
Once we are all dressed and posed, we start to move. “We have to move quick; I know those bullets were heard.” We start running through the castle’s land. Aren and Christian follow closely behind me. In some of the glass windows, lights and candles are being shown. Where ever Quinneth is, she’ll be on the east wing. I remember Vet telling me that is where they keep the most important people, which she is.
Aren and Christian and I decided to split up. We aren’t that far from each other, I’m on the east wing, Christian is on the west and Aren’s the lookout for both of us. I’ve seen a few people walk by, some I noticed are the sons and daughters of Sylo. They all wear a distinctive tattoo that identify them, I hope I don’t take one on.
Besides that, no sign of Quinneth. Behind me I hear feet walking towards me, pointing the gun at the unknown I hear laughter.
“It’s me Alexander, put the gun down.” Looking over the barrel of the gun I see that it’s Christian. The gun returns back at my side.
“Did you find anything?” He shakes his head. I lean up against the wall, my eyes revert up to the sky.
“Don’t worry Alexander, we’ll find her.” I hope he’s right. Off to the side I see a person running to us, it’s Aren.
“Hey what are you losers doing lounging around?”
“Wallowing in our self-pity.” I tell her.
“Well. . .stop. I found something.” I don’t waste any time, and neither does she. She starts running in the direction she just came from, me and Christian hot on her trail. After running for what felt like forever, we come to a rather large window.
Inside we see a huge ball room, off to the side I see a throne. The Kings throne, this is where everything happens. In the middle of the ginormous room, I see Yount standing with a woman at his side, I can’t make out who she is.
Looking off to the side, I see the grand doors opening up, someone is coming in.
