Last Chapter:

"Well...,"Topaz started,"He is basically calling anyone strong a threat so that means all their S class mages...," she stopped hesitating from fear.

/

There was a long pause, finally broken by August," Well carp,"then he looked to Kazi," your the tactician could we lure some of them away with a fake job offer or something?"

"Maybe but that would never work to kill all of them some would get through the cracks," he said standing there in deep thought," Aha!" He shouted slapping his knee.

"I'm assuming you just got an idea." August said with little to no expression as usual.

"I wouldn't be a practitioner if I didn't," Kazi said.

"Well get on with it," Topaz said clearly annoyed.

"Fine all we have to do is infiltrate the guild, then when we go on jobs involving battles well kill them one by one," Kazi had a grin on his face because of his smarts.

"How the he k are we supposed to do that?" Violet asked," A guild with this many strong members must be impossible to get into."

"Oh I get it," Topaz said smirking. August began to grin as well.

"What am I missing here?" Violet said annoyed.

"Okay you say it's hard to get in but we're all powerful so they would let us in, then we get to know them but to them we are a mystery," Topaz stopped to take a breath,"Then when we go on a job we kill them and say it was because of a monster or another fatal accident."

"That's genius!" Violet exclaimed.

"That's why I'm the tactician." Kazi said full of himself.

"I guess it's settled then," said August.

"We should meet back here in 30 minutes in front of the delta barracks okay?" Topaz asked.

"Sounds fine to me." said Violet.


"Hey," Topaz said to Violet as she jogged up.

"Hey answered Violet her mind obviously on something else.

"What is it?" Topaz asked a little concerned.

"Nothing really," Answered Violet," I was just thinking that its going to be really weird to hang out with people we know we have to kill. Especially if their nice."

"I know but please don't get attached, because then you would be branded a traitor." Topaz said.

"I'll try," said Violet, trying to look confident. "You guys are the only family I've ever known! I would never betray you." at least she was sure of that.

"Well, even if you did, I would go with you." Topaz said, smiling which was something she hasn't done in a while. "It August still getting his stuff?"

"Yea," Violet answered "Probably just some stuff for his magic. I'll get him." she walked inside, and closed the door behind her.

"Hey, don't just leave me out there alone!" Topaz said, as she walked through the door behind Violet.

Whatever Violet in August have been talking about they stopped, August was holding the weirdly shaped bag in his hands. "I'm all ready to go now,"He said.

"Sorry i knew that you wanted to keep your magic secret, i'm sorry." Topaz said walking to the door hiding her eyes with her hair.

Violet shot in accusing glance at August. "what?"He said defensively. Violet give him another unpleasant look "ohh.."Realization crept into his face and he ran for the door. "It's fine" he told Topaz lightly. "No harm done"

"You sure," Topaz said looking up at him," i'm still sorry i barged in without thinking." She looked down again.

"Really," He said soothingly,"It's no big deal, you'll probably have to find out at some point…"

"Okay, well i'm going to go back outside just in case you guys need to get anything else, and i have to get check on Kazi." Topaz said heading out the door.

August was about to follow, but Violet grabbed his arm and shook her head no, "We'll rendezvous at the entrance!"She called to Topaz.

"Okay," she said, showing her eyes and they clearly saw pain evident in them.

As They walked to the new rendezvous, Violet continued glaring at August, who still had no idea why.

~5 MINUTES LATER~

"Hey!" Kazi called as he walked to the rendezvous point with Topaz.

"All ready?" asked Violent.

"Yeh, he was just packing some potato chips in his bag," Topaz said glaring at Kazi," i made him put them back in our food storage."

"She was soooo meannnn," Kazi groaned.

Violet laughed, even August smiled a little bit.

"I wasn't that mean, and come on we have to go," Topaz said as she started to walk.

~TRAIN STATION~

"Do we really have to ride the train," Topaz said her skin sickly pale," just looking at it makes me sick."

"Oh," August said, "I forgot that you get motion sick…"

"Oh she can deal with it," Kazi said.

"I clearly can not!" Topaz shot at Kazi holding her hand in front of her mouth.

"Here," said Violet, pulling a plastic bag out of her carry on.

"No.. I'll be okay for now," Topaz said pushing the bag back to Violet.

"If you need anything let us know, okay?" Said August.

"Alright, but then again i think i might try and take a nap," Topaz said holding her stomach.

Kazi patted his leg," you can rest on my lap if you want," he then tapped his shoulder," or you can lean on me." He said grinning.

"I'd rather not," Topaz answered.

"Burn!" Said August.

"Oh shut up," Topaz said smiling,"but Im really tired," Topaz suddenly closed her eyes and

started to fall.

"Woah," August said, catching her right in the nick of time, "what was that?" All eyes turned to Kazi.

"Well….," he said scratching his head,"She hasn't been getting enough sleep for the past few days."

"So you drugged her?!" Violet yelled.
