Deathbringer's PoV
Deathbringer sat on his bed, scrolling through his phone. To be more specific, he was reading through his and Glory's text conversation. I really wish you love me, Glory, he thought sadly. Why did I ever try to become a playboy... Glory's different from other girls. They'll fall for it, she won't. A voice in his head snapped, Fuck you, Deathbringer! So fucking stupid. You should've known that Glory wouldn't be affected by stupid stuff like flirting!
Deathbringer didn't try and argue back. Glory would never love him all because of the fact that he was too desperate. He should've just given up. Now the return key was gone, there was no going back for him.
What was even worse was that Deathbringer was almost working against Glory. Glory's grandmother's company had developed a sort of dangerous yet powerful venom many years ago, but unless anybody else found the way to create it, there was no way to obtain it other than by stealing or by receiving it directly from the company. Deathbringer's mother, Quickstrike, had been an assassin working for Battlewinner, the leader of a mafia group [wtf am I even writing XD ]. Battlewinner had been seeking the venom ever since she knew about it, and had planned many missions that would eventually get them the venom. But every single one of them failed, with the people sent on them dying. That was the cause of Quickstrike's death. In the end, Battlewinner had tried to do it herself, but failed yet again, resulting in her own downfall.
Ever since Battlewinner's downfall, Deathbringer hadn't heard much of the organization until recently. Morrowseer, one of Battlewinner's followers, had found a new leader, someone else bent on getting the venom. Their plan was to capture Glory, with the promise that she would be released with the ransom of 200 vials of the venom. That had been Deathbringer's part in the plan; to capture Glory. When Deathbringer met her for the first time, roughly five or six years ago, he made a promise to himself that he would never let Glory get harmed.
Suddenly, a notification popped up.
Bitch that helped ruin my life (aka Morrowseer)
Deathbringer
Glory has been brought to us
It was your mission to capture her
Why didn't you?
Can't you ever keep a promise, Deathbringer?! he yelled at himself. That promise was gone, he had failed to protect her. Quickly thinking up plans to save her, he texted Morrowseer back:
Deathbringer
I'm sorry that I failed you
But it was almost impossible
Glory doesn't trust me
I will come to headquarters right now
Deathbringer grabbed some stuff that he would need and ran out of his house. Soon, he bumped into Clay, Glory's friend. Perfect!
"Clay, I need your help. Do you trust me?" he asked urgently.
"Yes, I do. Why do you need my help?"
"It's about Glory. Let me explain..."
Glory's PoV
"Glory! Wake up!" Glory stirred awake, feeling dazed and confused. What happened? Soon, it all came flashing back to her: The concert, her feelings of unease, Kinkajou's disappearance, Tsunami's warning, her being knocked out...
"Kinkajou!" Glory cried. To her surprise, it came out as a muffled cry.
"Yeah... They gagged you," Kinkajou explained.
Who's "they"... Where am I?
