Chapter 116 It's Final

I woke up feeling the soft-hard pillow beside me. Warm and cozy, I hovered closer, just then soft snores and a steady beating of heartbeat reaches my ear coming from it.

I immediately opened my eyes to see Xenon peacefully sleeping, I sat up and quietly get out of the bed unnoticed.

Taking my hooded jacket, I went out of the room and walked downstairs directly towards the Blue Fire Gang's room. Without knocking I unlocked the door, opening it.

I slowly closed the door and even in a dark place, only the light ray coming from the moonlight passes through the window glass, gave shimmering lighting to these 4 sleeping figures of men.

Blake's POV

I keep running to nowhere. Someone is chasing me! I'm tired and I can't catch my breath anymore as if horror covered my whole body.

I stumbled on my feet and fall to the ground, even in the darkness of the night I can see the silhouette of a monster coming towards me.

I immediately sit up, slowly trying to move backward away from the monster.

"No... please." I begged but it seems like the monster hears nothing, even my pleas.

It holds something from the back and then pulled it out revealing a silver sword that shimmers from the moon rays. When the monster's hand raises aiming to sways the sword towards me... I gasped opening my eyes. A nightmare.

Just then I felt an unusual aura, I immediately looked at the corner and suddenly sit up as I moved backward in much terror, I can feel my heart getting out of my ribcage. Deja vu.

"What the heck!" I cursed the moment I realized it was Claire who's coldly and quietly watching us. "Wha-what are you doing here c-claire?" I almost whispered in fear.

"Go, wake the others. We will have your next mission." She coldly stated as she walked towards the couch beside my single bed and take a seat, my heart races loudly than before.

How could you not be scared if the Heiress of Dark World came inside your room late at night!?1 am I think?

I immediately get out of my bed and wake the others; there are other three single beds that suits us in this room enough to have our comfort.

"Guys! Jacob, Jake, Blue. Wake up!" I whispered yell enough for them to hear and not for the people outside our room.

"What's the matter?" Blue asked trying to reach his eyeglass.

"It's late at night. Why are you waking us?" Jake followed not noticing Claire's presence while Jacob was silent but I could sense his curiosity.

"We have a new mission." I motioned Claire's direction and they slowly turned their heads towards it.

"Oh fuck!" Jake cursed as he suddenly stands up from his bed.

"Shit!" Blue followed and I saw Jacob shifted in his position.

"Find your comfortable positions; I'll give your next mission." Claire looked at her watch and I don't know how she can manage to see the time in this dark room but she just did.

Maybe because of the small light from the moon ray that touches her white pajamas and almost a shadow of her silhouette that was revealed.

We immediately obeyed and sit in the places right where we were standing and waited for her to talk.

"Later this day is the battle everyone is waiting for. Your mission is to protect Xenon at all cost until I come." She coldly stated and we nodded nonchalantly.

"Y-you will come? But I thought Xenon wouldn't-" Blue was cut off.

Claire stands up "I'll come, but at a given time." and she walked towards the door.

What does she mean by the 'given time'?

"If you fail, you know the consequences." Her last words before the door close and she disappeared from our sight.

"We shouldn't be far from Xenon then." I heard Jake murmured.

Indeed.

"Today we will create a history," Blue stated while looking at the window.

My nightmare... is haunting me.

Claire... our Heiress. What are you thinking?

Xenon's POV

I woke up early in the morning and smiled after seeing an angel peacefully sleeping beside me... Staring at her face for I can't internalize how long, I don't want this to last, I think I wouldn't get tired of watching her.

This might be the last day I'll be seeing this lovely girl... however... I wish to spend more time with Claire. I reached to touch her face but...

*ring* My attention was caught when my phone started ringing, I sat up in frustration and took my phone.

"What's up?" I asked in a cold voice the moment I answer it.

"Woah! Chill! Everything is set." Bryan laughed on the other line. Securing the good state of our people and the hidden weapons on the facility.

He prepared for it. He's ready.

"Good. Thank you." I stated and hang up the call.

And once again, I glance at her.

It's time to prepare myself. May God be with us.

Drena's POV

"Adrian, I can fight! Just please let me join..." I pleaded to him but he ignored me as he continues wearing his shirt.

"If I say no... no. Don't be so stubborn." His voice was hard and then he faced me with serious but... longing eyes.

I didn't realize I shed a tear. He slowly walked towards me and cupped my face as he wiped my tear.

"Dren... please be strong. I'll come back and we will build a family." He said in a soft and assuring voice.

I nodded, I trust him... however, I can't help it... I love him so much that it hurts me, thinking I might lose him.

"I love you. P-promise you'll be back, okay?" I asked sobbing.

He smiled, weak but genuine... his eyes... it's full of love, I can feel it.

He then pecked my lips "Let's go. The others might have been waiting for us." as he holds my hand which made me calm.

"I think so too." I let out a small laugh as we walked towards the living room where the others are waiting. While on the way...

"Gross!" I immediately let go of Adrian's hand as I covered my eyes with both hands after seeing Coby and Cassy kissing on the sidewall.

I felt them stopped, so I peeked in between my fingers. Cassy bowed down her head in shame while Coby grinned.

"You two must have done more than that." He laughed and sling his arm around Cassy's shoulder as they walked away towards the living room.

Leaving me blushing on my spot.

"After the battle, we will do more than that," Adrian smirked and dragged me following them towards the living room.

I can feel my face in total heat. Shit!

"Okay fine, I won't insist anymore but for one condition." I heard Claire's statement to Xenon.

"What is it?" He said challengingly staring at her.

"At 7 pm, if you weren't home. Expect us to be there." She said in a hard and authoritative tone. By that, even Xenon couldn't say no to her. It's final.
