Chapter 6

Private gasped, his heartbeat speeding up as he stepped back instinctively. That's how she knows so much about them.

The vampire's gaze flickered to his, her blood red eyes shining in the darkness. She did not look at him directly, and shame coated every syllable as she whispered, "I'm so sorry. I should I have told you all sooner."

He smiled softly, his natural sympathy taking hold. "It's alright Mina. You were protecting yourself" he answered.

But I should have been protecting all of you. She forced a smile, "Look Private. You should go and tell the rest of the penguins" she told him. The young penguin began to object, but Mina shook her head, "Forget what I said. Tell them. They deserve to know" she answered.

The small penguin nodded, although he quickly asked in a hushed tone, "Are…are you sure?" She nodded, and Private belly slid away to tell his friends, although the trepidation was obvious on his face. Once Skipper hears about this, he'll jump to the worst conclusion.

As expected, the leader did indeed assume the worst. He leapt from his seat at the table, "I knew it! She's a spy! A spy for The Illusion!" he cried. Before anyone could tell him otherwise, Skipper ordered, "We need to get her to tell us what she knows! Either that or," he turned to Rico, and smirked darkly, "We'll send her on a little trip, won't we Rico."

Private shook his head, "No guys! I'm sure she's not a spy!" he objected.

His superior glowered, "Really? How are you sure?" he asked.

A familiar female voice came from behind them, "He's sure because he's telling the truth" she said, dropping down from the entrance hole.

Private whirled around, "G-Genevieve" he stammered.

She smiled sweetly, "Relax. I'm just here to say that the small penguin is right. Mina is indeed an ex-member of The Illusion" she explained.

Skipper took a step forward, "How to do you know so much about them?" he questioned suspiciously.

She laughed behind a paw, "Oh Skipper. I've been working with them for years, of course I know everything about them" she responded.

Kowalski commented, "If I'm correct in my observations, Leah doesn't seem like she is terribly pleased with you."

The fox became nervous, but it vanished so quickly that it only lasted a fleeting moment. "Yes. Leah," she hesitated for a moment, "Is naturally suspicious of people she doesn't know too well" she answered.

Private replied, "But you said that you'd been working with them for years."

Genevieve hesitated once more, frantically working to come up with an explanation. Stupid nosy penguins. If they just stopped asking questions, then things will go perfectly. Not getting any ideas, the fox sighed and put a paw to her head, faking a headache. "Look, I'm quite tired. I think I'll go lie down" she said.

She opened the 'Private's 1st Prize' door, and was about to walk out, when Skipper snatched one part of her cloak. "Wait" he commanded with a growl.

The fox glanced at him over her shoulder, "Whatever for?" she asked, with pretend innocence.

The lead penguin spun her around to face him, "Because we need the truth" he snarled.

A sly smile appeared on Genevieve's mouth. She narrowed her silver eyes, "You want the truth? Fine" she answered. She clasped her paw around Skipper's flipper, digging her razor sharp claws into it. The leader scoffed, "Is that the best you…ah! Shit!" he cried, stumbling back. The fox had used her magic to create the same electrical shock that she had given to Leah, only more intense.

Genevieve smirked, "Problem, Skipper?" she teased.

The leader growled, "Men…get her" he sneered.

Idiots. Appearing calm, she waited for them to get closer.

Meanwhile, Faith was speaking to Mina in the park. She had woken up when she had seen Mina with Private. She put a hand on her shoulder, "You really told him?" she asked.

The vampire nodded, "Yep. He said he'd tell the rest of the penguins" she replied.

"You're…you're okay with that?" questioned her friend. After receiving a nod, she asked, "Did you tell them about me?"

"No. But they'll figure it out. I mean, how else do they expect for us to have met?" replied Mina.

Leah, who had been sleeping underneath a tree, asked, half-asleep "Hey, have either of you seen the penguins?"

Both girls shook their head, and Mina said, "But I think I saw Genevieve go into their HQ a little while ago."

Fear shot through the black haired girl as she bolted up from the grass, now fully awake. Oh God. I've got a bad feeling about this.

Her friends looked at each other, each thinking the same thing. When Leah was worried about something, it meant it was important. Really important. With that in mind, the girls raced off, following her to the penguin habitat.
