War game

“What are we doing here?”

“You don’t pay attention at all do you?”

“Nope. I’m too tired to, Trin.”

“Hunter, we are here to play a war game.”

“Oh, there you are Isabella.”

“Violet will be here soon.”

“A war game you say Trin?”

“Yes, a war game.”

“I wonder what the teacher is going to limit me on this time.”

“It’s a war game hunter, she’s probably not going to limit you.”

“You are probably wrong Isabella.”

Guys and girls! Let’s have a fun game today. Now fifteen vs fifteen. The match will end when everyone on either team is eliminated, or you find the other way. Because this is a war game, Hunter, you will have no limits. And it’s obvious that there is no killing but if you are going after Hunter, you probably should go after him with the intent to kill him. That’s they only way to win against him. (I smiled.) Now there you may have noticed that someone isn’t here. (“She must be referring to Violet.”) There is a reason for that. She is hidden somewhere in the woods if you find her you will win. That’s the other second choice of winning. But there is a time limit of one hour. After the time limit is up, she will return to the team who has the least amount of team members at the time. Both teams had fun. The match will start in thirty minutes.”

Then the teacher split us up into two groups and we made our way to our spots. Now the area is only mile, but we were in the forest. Violet could be anywhere. I wasn’t going to waste our time looking for her.

We were lucky. On our team was a kid who almost perfected at being stealthy. And if I were to be defeated and she was the key to win. And her name was Rosie. The objective was to eliminate the other team. But if neither team can eliminate the other team, it would be a draw. Of course, I want to win but anything can happen.

I wanted a back up plan.

A red flare went up in the sky to indicate that the war game had started. I smiled.

“I just felt a chill ran down my spine when he smiles like that.”

“He’s having fun Isabella.”

“I know but it stills give me the chills.”

“Where’s Rose?”

“I don’t know. She disappeared after talking to Hunter.”

“And now Hunter disappeared.”

“What’s up with him?”

“Oh, you know he’s probably going to do something stupid.”

“Probably.”

Meanwhile.

“Hunter, what’s your plan?”

“Simple, take out many before they take me out.”

“That’s not really a plan.”

“It’s something I guess.”

“You are planning on marrying the four of us?”

“You are asking me that now?”

“Is that a, no?”

“Of course not, Isabella. I said I would marry you girls and I will stand by what I said.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m very much sure.”

“Aww you are making blushing.”

“Not now, I see four people ahead of us.”

“Easy.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

I spent no time taking out the four enemy classmates.

“Well splendid, Hunter.”

“Thank you. Whipping the sweat off my head. You could of help still.”

“I was watching. You were fine.”

“You actually sweating?”

“It’s hot outside. Wait. Hahaha you thought that fight made me sweat?”

“N-N-No.”

“Yes, yes you did.”

“No!”

“Haha sure, let’s go.”

***

“It’s been an hour; we haven’t seen anyone.”

“Did Hunter defeated them all?”

“No, there would have been a sound or something. The only sound that we heard was Violet entering the game. But other than that, nothing.”

“That’s right, Violet is on the other team.”

“Yes Trin, I wonder if Hunter is going to take her out.”

“Probably. But knowing him, giggling, he’s going to toy with her.”

“Oh, most definitely, he’s going to toy with her, Isabella.”

“Look what we found guys!”

Four men stepped out of the woods.

“Who are you!” Isabella yelled.

“Isabella, look. The markings. They are from the assassination guild.”

“Run!”

“Oh no you don’t! Lighting bolt!

“Ow! I can’t move Trin! I’m paralyzed! You need alert the teacher!” she yelled.

“I’m staying, I’m going to help you- “

“Nice aim boss.”

“Yeah, good one.”

“You should have ran, kid. He laughs. We caught ourselves some bait. Now we wait until something hooks us.”

….

“That’s three more down. They’re really coming after with the intention of killing.”

“They have to, or they won’t be you in a fight.”

“Yeah, I can’t blame them. They really aren’t putting up a fight.”

“And you said that you wanted my help.”

“Well, I thought they will be more of a chalk. Isabella, we have company.”

“Yes, and looks like they captured two of your classmates.”

Sigh, “That can’t be helped. My classmates aren’t strong enough to take on intruders.”

“Four of them, hunter.”

“Yes, go get a teacher. I’ll handle this.”

“You make so hot when you’re in these types of situations.”

Sigh, “just go.”

“Yes, my husband.”

What am I going to do with her.

They are probably from the assassination guild. I need to be careful just in case. Looking in all directions. Watching for any attacks and enemies. It’s nice plan and all but they forgot one direction. Hehe.

“Did you hear that?”

“No, your hearing things.”

“I definitely heard a tree branch breaking.”

“We can see any one coming.”

“You two shut up. And keep watch.”

Both guys, “Yes boss.”

Smiles, “I’m not that easily kill able! You know! If you think you can kill me with an arrow!”

“I wasn’t trying to kill you. I know you are from the assassination guild. The question I have is are you for me? Or are you here for someone else?”

“I do know who you are, Hunter. You have a pretty penny for your head on a stake. I think I’m going to cash it in.”

“Before we begin, what’s your name assassin?”

“You won’t be alive after this. There is no need to tell you, my name.”

“Okay, if you say so.”

“You think you will win against me?”

“Yes, I will win. And it will only take me less than ten seconds to do so.”

“Ten seconds? That’s a bunch of bullshit- “

“Ten seconds? I meant you never had a chance on beating me.”

“Cloning. And you hide your presence very well. You are exceptionally good. You think you should try being in the assassination guild?”

“Nah. But thanks anyways.”

“Wow, getting cocky are we now?”

“Sophia, we absolutely need to send the assassination guild a message. A message that they won’t forget.”

“You know that’s their job, right?”

“True but this is getting ridiculous and annoying.”

“You girls all right? They didn’t do anything to you two did they?”

“No, Hunter. They didn’t do anything to us.”

“Thank you for saving us again, hunter.”

“Welcome Trinity. And that’s refreshing. And Sophia teachers are on their way?”

“Yes. Gonna be here soon.”

“Good. Girls I think we should do some training.”

“Training?”

“You think we need training? But we already train.”

“Yeah, hunter we train all lot.”

“Girls, I’m not going to be here all of the time to come and save you two from disaster. In matter of fact. Im going to train you all. I don’t want my girls to rely too heavily on me.”

“Hey hunter.”

“Huh?” Oh god she kissed me. I haven’t been kissed in a hot minute.

“Thank you, future husband of mine for the rescue.”

“Hey! Isabella! You can’t do things like that! Come here hunter!”

Two girls fighting over me. I love it.

“Aren’t you jealousy Sophia?

“Why would I be jealous? She smiled. I can kiss him anytime I want. And besides. I get to say goodnight to him last, Isabella.”

“You did it again, Hunter. You stopped the attackers again and saved Isabella and her sister.”

“Hello, teach. They are from the assassination guild. I guess you can take it from here.”

“Yes, you four can head back.”

…

“Hunter. I assume you know why you’re here?”

It was the captain of the police. Louis Allare.

“Yes. Assuming it’s about the attackers.”

“Correct. And you are correct. They are from the assassination guild. And they were after your class. Specially Isabella and Trinity.”

“They were after them? Why?”

“We don’t know at this point in time. But someone requested it to be done.”

“Let me guess, you don’t know who?”

“That’s. That’s, also correct. They wouldn’t give us the name.”

“Fuck!” I absolutely lost it. My magic went wild.

“Hunter, you need to calm down. You are going to destroy this place. Think about the girls. Trinity and Isabella are safe because of you.”

“Hunter! Snap out of it! Come here. Come here. Come here into Sophia arms.”

“I-I-I-They need to get stronger.”

“What should we do now?”

“We need to pay a guild a certain visit.”

“If you do that, I’ll be force to arrest you.”

“Louis, we all know that nobody’s going to bat an eye over for some assassins besides, I’m not going to kill them. Just a friendly chat. Let’s go Sophia.”

…

“That dam kid! Always ruining my plans! Every single time!”

“Boss we wasted our good men on that last attempt to get the two princesses.”

“Don’t you think I realize that! That kid is a thorn in my side! Fuck!”

Sigh, “I just organized that desk.”

“BOSS!” huffing and puffing. “THERE IS A PROBLEM!”

“What is it?”

“A kid and a women is here and attacking everyone.”

“A kid and a women? Is attacking the guild? We have the deadliest people on earth. Do they have a death wish? Boss don’t worry about some kid and a women.”

“But-But they injured most of our people. And no one has been the closest to leaving a mark on them. It looks like all of our attacks are just going through the kid. And the women doesn’t look like she cares. She’s enjoying herself while the kid is on business.”

“You’re not trying- “

“No, he’s right. Stop and think, how did they even find this place? It’s very hidden. And good reason too. It’s that kid. He’s here. I think we should leave. We can find a new location.”

“Leave? Who said anything about leaving? No one is leaving until I get some answers.”

“Attack!” the boss yelled.”

“Nope I don’t think so.” Snap.

“I can’t move!”

“Oh, you won’t be able too. Simple I froze you guys from moving. I have some questions and I want answers. And I want them now.”

“You can’t do this!”

“I don’t care, you sent some of your men to attack my class. And two of my future wives, and you think that’s okay? So, is it perfect for me to attack your family? No? its not? I didn’t think so. So, answer my questions and I wont harm you. Honestly sounds like a good deal.”

“What do you want to know?”

“Who gave you the orders to attack my class specially Iseballa and Trinity.”

“I received money to have those two abducted and brought here. There was no name in the letter. And the date was for yesterday. I have no idea why they wanted to be abducted.”

“I feel like you are truly being honest with me. But I’m going to need that letter.”

“Top right drawer.”

“Thanks. And you are definitely telling me the truth. There is no name on it.”

“See! I was telling you the truth!”

“Yeah, you did.”

“You not going to harm me?”

“We had a deal. You told me the truth and yes. I’m going to hold up me end of the deal. But I know it’s your job and all but if you don’t want to die in the most painful way I can think. You guys can leave my family alone and friends but if you want to you can come after me with your heart’s content. But if they get hurt, I’m not going to be nice next time. And raise my bounty. Fifty thousand isn’t high enough to even think about coming after me. You want people to think about it, raise it to five hundred thousand then maybe people will think about it. If you genuinely want people to come after me, raise it to a million. I will even give you the money. Fuck it, here’s five million for my bounty. Let’s go Sophia.”

“I thought you were going to kill them?”

“I was but I put the fear of god in them.”

“Five million?”

“Yes, too much?”

“Nope.”

“Good, now let’s visit a certain king again.”

“Him? How do you know its him?”

“I recognized the handing writing. He has some explain to do.”

…

“SMASHING FORCE!”

“Now I sent everyone back, ICE FREEZE! Everyone can’t move now. King, future father-in-law whatever you want to be called by. Why am I here? Again? Did you not understand on what I said last time I was here? I’m not going to kill you because of you wife and daughter. But if this keeps happening. We are going to have some problems. And that’s a road that neither of us don’t want me to go down. Now I’m here because YOU sent the assassination guild after my classmates. And your own daughter? Now. Now why? Why did you not listen to me the last time? HI Violets mother.”

“Hi there dear. Have you been treating my daughter, right?”

“Of course.”

“That’s good to hear.’

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Playing dumb won't get you anywhere with me King. When not if when I find out what you’re planning on. I will be stopping you. And if I have to bring down the whole kingdom to do so, so be it. And if I have to come back here again, you wont like me so much. Your wife might be looking for someone else if I have to come back here a third time. And if you try to do something, make sure it doesn’t trace back to you. Let’s go Sophia.”

“Where did you go Hunter?”

“My majesty, I had some earrings to run. I apologies for getting here so late.”

“Did you may go to a certain guild?”

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about king.”

Smiling, “I know it was you. Don’t try to hide it. But anyways did you find anything?”

“The guild master handed me a letter and that was it.”

“That was it?”

“Yup that was it.”

“You sure?”

“That’s it I swear.”

Smiling, “Good to bed.”

“Alright. I’m off.”

“Hunter. Was it my father?”

“Oh hi Violet. And you really want the answer?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, it was. And no, I didn’t lay a finger on him.”

“I knew you wouldn’t. But I don’t consider him as a father anymore. You can do whatever you want with him.”

“Let’s cross that bridge later shall we. But for now, let’s go to bed.”

“How are we going to deal with that king?”

“I don’t Know Sophia. We have to figure out what his plan is. Besides the war.”

“You’re right. But whatever it is it involves with the two princesses.”

“Yeah, that’s very concerning to me. That’s why I need to train the girls on how to fight. I wont be here to protect them all of the time.”

“How are you going to train them?”

“I was thinking about the basics of magic then we can move up to increasing of the amount of magic they can use. But the takes months to each. But if I can just teach them the basics, they can do that part alone.”

“But they know the basics of magic.”

“Yes but they probable aren’t masters at it. I practiced it all of the time. Its good to practice the basics.”

“Is that all?”

“Of course not. I will be fighting them one on one. When they get used to fighting me at that strength, I will increase it some. Eventually they will be at a level that normal students won’t be able to beat them. But they won’t be able to defeat because I’m to powerful to be beaten by anyone who aren’t on my level. They probably have to be outer world or outer planetary to defeat me.”

“What about me? Or my father?”

“Honestly you two would make me sweat. But not enough to defeat me.”

“Who do you think can defeat you in a fight?”

“I have no idea, Sophia. But with my bounty being five million there will be assassins coming after me. So probably coming months we find out who gives me run for the money.”

“Months? Probably years. I don’t think any monsters can kill you.”

“Monsters? I didn’t think about that. But yes, probably years. But going back to the monsters, I should clear out the forest.”

“That might take you sometime. The forest is huge.”

“Yeah, but I need replenish the money I gave the assassin guild.”

“Why don’t you just ask the king?”

“Nah, I want to some monster hunting. I have a special letter from the king allowing me to join the guild at this age. I don’t want to get rusty. I haven’t been on a monster hunt in a while.”

“You going to bring the girls?”

“I should, shouldn’t I?”

“You should, teach them about hunting.”

“You think the king allow me?”

“I don’t think why not?”

“Mmm I’ll ask.”

“Oh, by the way. I found a lead on your old lover.”

“You did?”

“Yeah, I did. When she was abducted, she went to a brothel in the Robles kingdom. Then she was brought by a buyer four years later.”

“Do you know what brothel?”

“I do know the name of the brothel. We can go whenever you want to go.”

“How long will it take us?”

“Not long. I’ve been casing out the place. A lady runs the place.”

“A lady runs it?”

“Yeah, an old lady.”

“We are going tomorrow, fuck school. She’s going to tell us everything. And I will not show mercy.” Clinching on the ring. “I will find her. If I have to burn down the whole country to find her so, be it. I will not stop looking for her. I will not rest. We leave tomorrow morning.”

“We going to tell anyone?”

“No. if she been sold, I don’t want anybody to know that we are coming. Anyone could have her now.”

“You think King Steele has her?”

“I doubt it because this is a slave free kingdom, but anything can happen. Who knows he could have her. But I already checked. I don’t sense her presence here.”

“You think we should still check out the place?”

“Not yet. We have no reason too. But if do have too we have to do it in secret. We wouldn’t want to spook him. But if he does have her, wouldn’t the queen know that he’s acting suspicious or something? She’s around him a lot.”

“Your right Hunter but there’s are times that she’s not around him.”

“Yeah, but that’s during the day not at night. Who knows she might not even be here at all. Maybe he’s hiding her somewhere else? I don’t know, it’s just speculation. We don’t even have proof or anything. We are just talking nonsense at this point. I mean he’s king and all he has places all round the kingdom so he’s probably keeping her somewhere else. But I don’t even know why we suspect the king? He took me in when I was at my worst. He gave me a place to sleep and food. He let me take the royal test even though I’m not royal. So, if he had brought her, that doesn’t make sense.”

“Does he know what she looks like?”

“I haven’t thought about that. So, no? I wouldn’t think that he would know what she looks like. I haven’t told anyone what she looks like. So, there could be a chance that he had brought her without realizing it. But I don’t know. I’m getting a headache. I’m going to bed. Join me I don’t care.”

“That would make the other girls jealous.”

“I know, you are joining or not.”

“Yes! Of course I am! I will never say no!

“Good. Lets go to bed then.”

I forgot she had sleep with me. Smiling, she looks cute while sleeping. I can definitely get used to this. Waking up like this.

“Good morning! Wait! Hunter.”

“Trinity, is that who I think it is in his bed?”

“I think so Iseballa. Sophia is in bed with Hunter.”

“That’s what I thought. I thought I was seeing things.”

“DOES THAT MEAN THEY DID IT!”

“I’m going to stop you right there; we did no such thing. Besides sleeping. We didn’t even share the bath.”

“SO, YOU ARE AWAKE!”

“JERK! HOW DARE YOU SLEEP WITH HER!”

“Of course I’ve been awake. I’m always awake at this time. And besides, we did this all knowing that it will make you two jealous. It was fully my idea.”

Smiling, “Oh, hey you two slept well? I know that I did.”

“GET BACK HERE!”

“YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH IT!”

I love this. Good thing the violet isn’t here. That would be something.

“Where are you two going?”

“A place where I don’t belong, Iseballa.”

“What does that mean Hunter.”

“If I were to tell you. You wouldn’t like it. Let’s go Sophia.”

“We are going to brothel! BYE!”

“Brothel!” Both girls yelled.

“You just had to say that didn’t you?”

Smiling, “Yes.”

“What am I going to do with you.”

“Marry me?”

“Besides that, dummy.”

“Make babies?”

Sigh, “Lets get back on track. So, this is the brothel?”

“Yes, it is.”

“It’s actually quite big for a brothel? How many girls does she have?”

“I don’t know, never been inside.”

“Well let’s get this over with.”

“We aren’t open yet. Come back later.” an old lady spoke.

“Oh no you’re the person who I want to have a talk with.”

“I’ll just take a look around Hunter.”

“That’s fine.”

“You aren’t going anywhere!”

“She can because we aren’t going to listen to an old hag.” ICE FREEZE.

“I can’t move!”

“Duh I made it where you can’t move. Now let’s have a chat.”

“Chat about what?”

“I know for hundred percent that you used to own my friend and used her as a slaved prostitution until someone brought her, four years back. I want to know who you brought my friend from, and I want to know who you sold her too. Oh, her name is Clara.”

“Clara? I owned many girls named Clara, be more specific.”

“Mmm. She probably said that her best friend will save her. And his name was hunter? I have this ring around my neck.”

“Nope doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.”

“You are lucky that I can make projections with my magic.” “Projection Magic!” Stood there was a small child. It was a brief moment, but the old hag eyes widened then went back to normal. She was here. I’m on the right track. I just need to break her.

“Nope, I still don’t recognize her. Sorry.”

“Such a shame then. Sophia! Find the safe! We are taking the money.”

“NO! That’s my money!”

“MMM, I don’t think so. I think that’s mine. Or you want to tell me the truth?”

“I don’t know the girl!”

“If you didn’t then why did your eyes widen for a brief second when you looked at the projection.”

“You say nothing.”

“Find it yet!”

“Yes! And she has a lot of it!”

“Good take it.”

“Fine! Yes, I owned the girl. She talked highly about some boy named Hunter who would save her. I tried to break her spirit, but she didn’t break at all. But here you are, standing right in front of me.”

“Who brought her!”

“You know I can’t give you that information.”

“YOU WILL! Or you will die here right now. And I will not think twice about it. SO, tell me now or you will see hell in your future.”

“It was a king. If I remember right.”

“WHO!”

“I DON’T REMEMBER!”

“SOPHIA! FUCK IT BURN EVER DOLLAR THAT SHE HAS.”

“GOT IT BOSS!”

“Don’t! I don’t remember but I keep all of my transactions in my ledger in my office! It should be there!”

“Find the ledger Sophia and bring it to me when you find it.”

“Here.”

“That was pretty fast, let’s take a look.”

“Four years ago. Ahh yes here.” A cold ran down the middle of my back. We were right to suspect King Steele as a suspect. He was the one who brought her four years ago. “Sophia lets go. And old hag. I’m keeping this.”

“WHY! Its, mine!”

“Just in case.”

“In case for what!” she demanded.

“I don’t know yet, but it may come to handed for me in the future for something. Let's go, our work is done.”

…

“Why are we at my place in hell?”

“I don’t want anyone to hear us. We were right. King

Steele did in fact bring her four years ago. For God knows what. I’m pissed right now. If I see him right now, I’m probably fucken kill him.”

“I wonder why he would buy her. His kingdom is non slavery.”

“Not a good reason for sure.”

“We need to make a plan, to deal with this situation.”

“Yes, what are we going to do about it?”

“We can’t do nothing. Or it will spook the king. We need an outside source to check the king's buildings.”

“I’ll get right on it.”

“Good. We need to find her before we make another move on this. Ever move we make from now on needs to be precise and not out of place. We need to be steps ahead of the king. Or we will be killed.”

“Should we get my father in on this?”

“No because if we do get find out, it will make us more guilty. And I don’t want that to happen. I guess we can tell him, but he can’t help us.”
