Cinder's POV

I walked to where Roman was, along with my "friends". It seemed like they were fighting again. If only they would just grow up and get down to business and not act like brats! But. They're the closest I can get to a group, so might as well deal with it. I just hope Roman doesn't do anything. Rash. Like right now. Fusing with Emerald and Mercury.

"I had that under control," I heard from Roman in the distance. By his movements, Mercury replied something back, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Probably something SMART. Roman pointed his finger to his face in irritation, "Listen, you little punk. If it was up to me, I would take you and your little street rat and I would-." "Do what?" I yelled out to him,grabbing his attention. I went down to them as my eyes on centered on Roman's ignorant behavior. "Ha ha. I'd uh. NOT kill them?" He replied, scared of my next action. But,Emerald? She seemed happy to see me. "Cinder!" She walked towards me for a hug, but like I would do that. Business was first on the list.

"I thought I made it clear you were to eliminate them," I said, in a somewhat angry tone. He still looked scared, trying to find the right words to say. "I was going to," before he could continue, he was cut off by Emerald. "HE was going to escape! And I decided to take it upon ourselves to kill the rat." That. Made me upset. Who made Emerald the leader here? The only one who gives orders is me. "Quiet. Did I pacifically told you two to keep your hands clean while I was gone?" I told her as she scratched her head. "I just thought-." I cut her off. "Don't think. Obey." She stared at the ground in disappointment, then answered, "Yes ma'am." "Roman!" I scolded him for making faces behind my back. He stuttered, "Y-Yes ma'am." "Change the coordinates! We are heading for Beacon Academy!" I said and turned away from him. "W-Why?!" He questioned. I turned to him, smiling. "We are going to begin phase two." After that, I walked away with my group to get ready for our long awaited victory. And it all starts,

At Beacon Academy...
