CHAPTER 38
(LAITO'S P.O.V)
Victory was so close I could almost taste it. Tonight would change my life forever…. I couldn't wait to see Ayato's face, when he realized how powerful I had become, and how powerless he would be when I take Yui away from him. I couldn't wait to take away whatever little power Ayato had.
I was just about sick of his grandiose of delusion. Taking Yui would be the final nail in the coffin, to his soon to be damaged ego. I slowly opened the exalibur box, as I began to wonder when the eye would show up. "NO…" I gasped in disbelief at what I saw. Instead of finding the hand of Horus, I was staring back at wishbones.
There was only one person who could have done this, and that was Ayato.
HOW COULD HE HAVE KNOWN?.
I backed away in fear, as I continued to stare at the wishbones.
THERE WAS NOWAY HE COULD HAVE KNOWN…
UNLESS…
DID HE SEE ME SNEAK IN THE NIGHT I BROUGHT THE HAND HOME?!.
THAT HAD TO BE IT!.
When we were kids, Ayato was the only one of us that would do this. If it wasn't his wishbones, it would be something else. It was Ayato's way of saying that he knew, and that it was only a matter of time before he used whatever you were hiding against you.
I PALED AT THAT THOUGHT.
I WAS SO OVERCONFIDENT THAT I HAD UNDERESTIMATE AYATO…
I glanced out the window to spot Yui and Zero hiding in the garden.
MY GET OUT JAIL CARD…
If I could bring those two at Ayato's feet, especially bringing forward the fact that Yui was scheming to escape, I might just be spared by my brother…
(AYATO'S P.O.V)
I felt my left eye twitch in anger, as I let out aloud growl. I was looking down at the hand of Horus in disbelief. Why am I not surprised, it was Laito after all.
THE KING OF ALL SNAKES…
EVERYTHING ALL MADE SENSE NOW…
The strange behavior, the silent resentment, was all leading up to this.
I wasn't entirely sure what Laito's ultimate motive was, but one thing was for sure. This powerful artifact could make you powerful.
EVEN POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY…
My eyes widened in realization, as a frightening thought came to mind. If becoming the head of the family was in his plans, then it was possible that he might take Yui from me…
"Son of a bitch!," I hissed as I felt my fangs lengthen in rage.
Just as I was about to go after Laito, I saw something bizarre move at the corner of my eyes. It was an eye that came through the wall in some sort of yellow force field. It floated right up to me, and floated down to the bracelet.
The eye then went into the empty circle, and attached itself to it. The entire room felt like a strange energy had entered. The bracelet now floated out of the box in front of me, as I could feel the bracelet's power alluring me.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I PUT THE BRACELET ON READY TO EXACT MY REVENGE…
