Chapter 16:
Aiden opens his coffin and gets up slowly; he walks over and grabs a bottle of wine, and notices Silvia watching him. He looks at her "need something?"
She looked back at him "I'll take a glass of that wine if you don't mind." He pours her a glass and sips his own.
"How have you been lately Silvia?" she took no time to reply "good I guess, how about you Aiden?"
He began to drink quicker "I've been ok." She drinks some of her wine "why just ok?"
He moves the hair out of his face "well besides having our asses handed to us by Zane?"
A more serious look comes across her face "look Aiden, Zane isn't going to be easy to beat, but once we find his weakness we will stop him"
He looks down "true". She smiled at him "so did you find out anything while you were gone?"
He just had a look of disappointment on his face "He stole the spear the happened to pierce the side of Jesus Christ"
She looked at her drink "damn if he wasn't evil I would give him props."
He looked directly at her with a serious face "I wouldn't give him props for what he has planned for you."
She answered quickly back "which is? You've been keeping me in the dark, both you and Alexander."
He scratched his head "you are the key that will allow him to steal the powers of a god" She looked a little shocked "god it is bad that I'm laying odds on him then."
Aiden's eyes began to become blurry and he began to spit of a decent amount of a black liquid. Silvia panicked "alexander! Help! Please come here!"
Alexander ran into the room and saw Aiden hunched over in pain. "Aiden! My god" She ran to his side as he looked into her eyes. He grabbed his chest "It hurts. Right where I got stabbed yesterday"
Alexander ripped his shirt open and saw his flesh was starting to be eaten away by some kind of acid. She grabbed bags of blood and forced them open, and made Aiden drink as she took out a scalpel and cut into him.
"Damn it's in deep" Alexander said out loud as she dug the scalpel into him deeper and pulled out a piece of metal that had a cross on it.
Aiden drank the blood down in no time. He hugged Alexander then attempted to stand up but only fell back down. Silvia looked over at them "is he… ok?"
Alexander looked over at her "you aren't trained in much are you? At least you called for me otherwise Aiden would have died."
She looked at Alexander and rolled her eyes "I'm sorry I'm not experienced like you." Then walked out of the room, she passed Madox and Cassandra who both were having a pleasant conversation with each other.
Cassandra smiled at Madox "you are very strong in your beast form, I can tell by your Aura."
Madox blushed a little and smiled at her "well thank you Cassandra, have I told you how lovely you smile?"
She smiled back "For a big bad wolf, you sure are sweet."
He scratched his back and looked up at the ceiling "I guess I've never been the cold calculating type, Aiden on the other hand, well he does what must be done."
Aiden walked into the next room, with the help of Alexander, and heard his name mentioned "so I'm the cold one?" he laughed a little. And madox looked over at him.
"brother, mother always said you would be the one to fight the fights and I would be the one who would make things better."
He looked at Alexander "I guess that's true. Mother always favored you"
Ace walked into the room form her own, awoke by the people talking "you all have a love fest in here or what?"
Alexander replied "tell me about it, too much love for me to handle." She then walked over to Ace and they both walked away leaving Aiden with Cassandra and Madox.
Aiden then walked into the room Silvia was still in. to find her stumbling over things, holding the bottle of wine in her hands. Aiden just signed and said "it's only been five minutes and I find you like this,"
Her face was a little blushy and she threw the bottle at him and said in a slur "shut up, I'm fine." He dodged the bottle in ease and then walked closer to her. "I think not."
He then helped her into her own coffin "maybe it's better you sleep it off"
(Zane's lair)
Zero walked up to Zane's thrown and looked at him, and Zane spoke to him "still recovering from the explosive fall I see"
Zero looked at him and rolled his eyes "it was an equal blow, I poisoned him easily and well he kicked me out of a building with a grenade."
Zane smirked at him "you're losing your touch, what happened to the man who killed every person like Aiden who challenged him?"
Zero looked back at him "the girl you fought was Alexander Wildflower, she is the one I was on mission with to take out next, it seems she can handle her self quite well."
Zane flashed in front of him and handed Zero a folder. "you must take this to them, convince them you have betrayed me, and then kill all of them but Silvia, and bring her to me, Alexander will be your prize to do what you wish with."
Zero nodded and walked into the darkness while saying "as you wish my master"
