I appreciate you all very much!
Caught
There I was, in the midst of this madness. I didn't know if this was included in the plan or not, but nonetheless I went along with the situation. His widespread room was divided into two bases. The lower base was linked to the entrance and contained all the furniture and a lot more of luxuries a bedroom would require, while the higher base was an empty space for his giant bed that was draped by curtains from all sides to rest.
We were all gathered in the stairs that intersected the two bases.
Besides me were the other two girls Eugen had chosen to have his little fun with tonight. One of them was the girl that was monotonous in the carriage, she still didn't say a word or showed any sort of reaction from before. She had short ivory-colored hair and tangerine-colored eyes; her expression was the same during her ride over here – blank. The girl's name was Rena. She seemed really strange and it seemed like she was lost in her own world. She was the second to be chosen because of her unique and beautiful appearance, she reminded me of a star for some reason
The other girl was much younger than both me and Rena, she seemed like she was only fifteen years old. Her name was Shinju. She was petite and had round hazel-colored eyes. Her hair was periwinkle-colored and was tied into two buns, long and thin strands of her hair extended from the ends of the bun and reached her knees. She was a proper lady and acted like one despite her age. There was something mystifying about her. She nodded and smiled at both of us politely when we entered the room, but both me and Rena in return just stared at her with a bored expression. Not really showing any sign of wanting to socialize at the moment. The little girl's face fell.
"Well now, now that we have settled down.. what should we do first, my beautiful lilies?" The man asked sliding his fingers down Shinju's long strands. The little girl shrieked in return and scuttled away a little with a reddened face. Eugen laughed out loud.
This thing wasn't human, he was an animal – no, animals were far better and caring than he was. He was the lowest of the low, far lower than demons or anything else that sprouts from the pits of hells. I knew I had to pretend to look helpless and kind but I couldn't help glaring at him. He just made me so mad, I could feel myself becoming hot with anger. I wish I could just –
"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant, there seems to be an emergency!"
Three men burst open the the army man's door. Wait, the door was open the entire time? He was planning to have his 'fun' with the doors open? Bastard.
Eugen gnarled his teeth. "What's the matter? I told you not to disturb me unless it was very important. I am in no mood to handle childish affairs."
"It is, General! It seems like there has been an issue at The Morrigan." One of the men's face formed a frown.
The Morrigan? What in the world was that? An issue.. I knew right then, Hotaru probably had something to do with this. He had found where the captain was. I felt my body tense and my heart skipping a beat. I couldn't show it though, I tightened my fists to sustain my body to react in a way that would catch attention. I looked at Rena and she had started panting, her pupils were dilating and her fingers were flexing in all directions. It was like she was having a panic attack. I blinked at her for a couple of seconds.
I looked over at Shiju and the little girl was just looking around, baffled. It was as if she was worried that the Flugen were going through a problem. She looked at me with a worried expression and I stared back at her with narrowed eyes. She quickly looked away. I felt like the environment became ten times more awkward than it already was.
And then fate pulled one of its strings again, another twist in my life occured.
Rena stood up from her position and pulled out a compact machine that was hidden within her, somewhere. Shinju gasped as the short-haired girl triggered the machine and immediately killed one of the Flugen men. Eugen was taken back by this action but he wasn't unprepared. He took out a machine similar to Rena's and pointed towards her as did the other two. They tried to shoot her but she jumped away with cat-like reflexes.
My mind was going through so many things at that moment. I didn't really understand what was happening. I didn't know what kind of weapons they were armed with, I didn't know what was going through everyone's minds, and I didn't know who exactly was Rena and why she chose to take such an action suddenly.
I did, however, figured her objective was the same as mine: to kill Flugen. Whatever the reason may be, I didn't care. We had the same enemies, this meant we were in this together. So it didn't matter, I didn't think of what was going to happen to us after this at that time. I stood up from my position and took out two daggers from within my kimono that I hid pretty well, Rena cast a glance at me. I spun around and flung my blades against the two men who were pointing their devices at Rena. Shinju screamed at the sight of two heads being separated from their bodies.
It didn't matter, though. The next thing I knew lots more people barged inside the room and we were surrounded.
