Afterlife chapter 12-The Villain's Side
I am so sorry for not updating for a, oh I don't know, a month or two? Anyway, this chapter is for ! She left the most awesome review ever!

Violet sat on her bed while the rest of the jocks filled in her room. She gazed at all her companions. They've been a team for more than 50 years. They know each other more than anyone. But even then, there are still mysteries, hidden pasts about each and one of them.
Violet glance at Sean. He leaned again the wall and stared at everyone with his cold merciless eyes. It's hard to believe he's the one who risked his life to save human children. It's hard to believe he works for Lord Thierry.
Sean looked up and met Violet's gaze. He smiled a little before turning his attention to Chase. Violet's heart fluttered a little. His face moved! Not into a frown or some other kind of negative expression but a smile. This got to be a miracle. Violet was lost in her thoughts when someone cleared their throat. She looked up and saw everyone staring at her.
"So, " Maya said, "what do you think?"
Violet blinked a few times and asked, "About...?"
Saphire rolled her eyes. "Dinner. Duh. What else?"
Violet's head cleared and she replied as if she's been listening the whole time. "Well, it was unusual. They humans listened to someone else other than us. That's odd."
"More like revolutionary." Sean muttered quietly from his corner.
Maya laughed. "Seems like someone's learning to talk. Anyway, Lord Thierry wants us to make their lives as miserable as we can. Any ideas?"
Caspian grinned. "I spilled soda all over that Jez Redfern."
"-and got your nose broken along the way. Nice job." Aaron finished sarcastically. Caspian kicked Aaron in the leg.
"At least I completed my mission." he muttered angrily. His nose was already healing but it still hurts like hell. He sat back down on his chair and glared at Aaron.
Chase cleared his throat again and declared, "As the leader of this group-"
"Who said you were the leader?" Violet cuts in. "You barely did anything last mission. We should choose someone who has actually done something for a leader. Don't you agree, Maya?"
Maya shrugged. "It's hard to say. He is older than most of you."
Marcus wrapped his arms around Maya. "Most of us, yes. Maya and I, well, we can be his great grandparents." Everyone except Violet chuckled. Violet glared at Chase and said, "I still think someone else should be in charge of this mission. Since we are in a democracy, let's vote."
Everyone nodded and the voting began.
Maya called out, "Anyone for Chase?" There was no hands raised except for Chase's own. Aaron chuckled and earning a hiss from Chase.
"Next up, " Saphire said, "Caspian?" Again, a very awkward silence with only one hand up.
Caspian turned tomato red and put his hand down. He glared harshly at Saphire who was chuckling. She pats him playfully on his head. "Don't worry dear, you are still a very special puppy." Caspian only snorted.
Maya continued, "And, Marcus?"
This time two hands were up, Maya and Sean's. Chase and Caspian can only pout. There's nothing they can do if their team mates think they aren't capable of being a leader.
"Sean?" Violet asked. She raised her own hand and watched as Saphire, Marcus, and Aaron's hand went up. "Seems like we have out
leader." Chase grumbled. Sean just nodded. He was surprised deep in his mind but his icy shell blocked all signs of emotion. And that shell will be what causes his tragedy in the end.

Sean POV
Me? Leader? Are they kidding me? How can a mentally demented va-guy be the leader of one of the top assassin group? I just don't understand. Marcus would make a fine, no, really fine leader. That guy got brains, strength, trickery, age, strategy, looks, and a really evil soul-er, girl-er, wife-er, female partner Maya. Those two are the main forces of our team and they make me leader? I just don't understand. I just, don't.

Chase POV
I am sad. Why aren't I the leader? Just because pretty girl Violet wants him to win? Not going to happen. They can just wait. I will be leader no matter WHAT it takes.

Marcus POV with Maya poking in
Why am I not the leader? I was going to be but I mentally informed everyone to vote for Sean. Except Chase and Caspian of course. (Maya: An awful stupid thing of you to do.)
Uh huh. Anyway, I was testing the quality of relationship in this group. (Maya: You already know it. Horrifyingly bad.)
We can improve.
(Maya: Uh huh.)
Don't mock me.
(Maya: Whatever.)
ANYWAY, by testing the quality, we can work on building realtionships!
(Maya: Fun...)
Maya! Go away!
(Maya: That's very nice of you to say to your girlfriend/wife.)
People and supernatural things can get tired of a nagging wife too.
(Maya: Whatever. I'm off to dye Saph's hair dark purple.)
Didn't she just dye it dark brown a week ago?
(Maya: She likes to keep up with the goth fashion. Bye.)
Okay, thank Goddess she's gone. So my plan is to test Chase and Caspian loyalty towards Lord Thierry but having the group vote some else for leader. Tricky tricky! Muah ha ha ha!
(Maya: Not really...)
MAYA!
(Maya: I'm leaving.)

Caspian POV
Don't talk to me. Currently dying of Saph's hair dye smell and depression. Go away.
