Shadows are but Shadows CH:5
When Mireille realized Aldowin was talking about Madeline she shot a look over at Kirika as if to tell her that they needed to go. "I am truly sorry Mr. Aldowin, but I must leave now. I hope we can meet again sometime soon, perhaps for lunch." Mireille began to gather her things and Kirika did likewise. "Oh, that's such a shame I was hoping you could stay for-" and with that Aldowin dropped to the ground, dead from an unseen bullet. The room then went dark except for the lazy flames of nearby candles on the mantle of the fireplace. "He said too much." A voice coming from somewhere near the window said, Mireille quickly grabbed her gun and fired a few shots towards the direction of the voice. Kirika grabbed a candle and brought it over towards the window the window was open but there was no sign of anyone having been there "There's nothing here Mireille" she called to the blond. Mireille sighed "Of course. Let's go, we don't want to be here when the police come." Kirika stopped her "Someone's already tipped them off Mireille, I can hear the sirens." Mireille listened closely and she too could hear them, "Then we have to go, NOW, too much is at stake." Kirika nodded and the two of them quickly got out of the house.
By the time Mireille and Kirika were across the street the police were just pulling up. Kirika watched as the officers rushed into the building not paying attention to Mireille, "Kirika! come on, let's go." Kirika looked back over at Mireille and nodded and made a soft sound to acknowledge the fact. A police officer stopped the two women just as they were about to leave "What are women like yourselves doing at such a place? Did you know the man who lived here? what're your names?" Kirika was about to speak but Mireille opened her mouth first "My name is Valerie and this is my friend Heloise. We were heading for the grocery store when all you police pulled up, She was very curious and started to stare, pardon her rudeness. I think we'll be going now." Mireille shot a glance to Kirika and they both went back to Mireille's penthouse.
Elizabeth was waiting with open arms for Bali and Adelirose to return and when they did Elizabeth congradulated them on their job well done of executing Bernai. "We have returned, Madame Elizabeth." Elizabeth smiled at Adelirose's declaration "And another job well done my trees. Now you can join Madeline in paris. But first I will give you new weapons as your swords are too noticeable, you'll bring Madeline's with you as well." Elizabeth rummaged through a chest and pulled out some weapons, a set of small poisoned darts for Bali, a dagger with many ornate designs on the blade and handle for Adelirose, and a Walther P38 pistol for Madeline. "Now go and show the Traitors of Les Soldats how fearsome the ones who they turned their backs on can truly be!" the two girls did as told and hurried off for Paris. Madame Elizabeth watched them hurry off so obediently "The traitors will pay dearly for the death of Altena! Noir will be my instrument of revenge...It doesn't matter what happens as long as those two are dead." Elizabeth was proud of these trees and she knew that when this was all finished only two would be returning.
Author's Note: I'm REALLY sorry for such a short chapter! ^^ I'd like to thank the person who helped me come up with ideas for weapons for my three trees. :} next chapter the shit finally hits the fan. Only two of Elizabeth's trees will come out ALIVE! Place your bets ladies and gents.
