Lies and Spies: Chapter 4

I prefer television than the actual thing. While the girls tortured dear A-1191212, I watched them from the flat-screen T.V in our conference room, chuckling to myself. I was filled with ugly satisfaction. She deserves this....she does......

Just then, a tornado of fire erupted in front of me. My eyebrows raised in surprise, and I scooted my chair a few feet away to avoid the swirling hot flames.

There appeared a pale girl with long jet-black hair in a braid. Her face looked familiar, her golden eyes flashing to brown and red. The flames died when her open palms reduced to tightened fists, and she smiled evilly at me.

Something struck me. Her expression matched mine perfectly. Her posture and her features....well, except the eyes. I realized she was my sister, whom I hadn't seen for the past year.

"Sairah..." I said in a fairly odd voice. "I thought I told you to stay put!" I looked at her with an expression of half-thrilled and half-anger.

"I am ever so apologetic, brother." Sairah said in a silky voice. "But I was longing to see you." She raised her hands and the burned television suddenly flew abruptly against the wall and was smashed into splinters.

"But your mission...." I spoke.

Sairah leaned on the table. "Already completed." She said it with a smug smile.

"You killed....?" I said aghast. She was just ten years old. It was impossible she had already assasinated her target.

"And also his companions." Sairah laughed. "Without no one backing me up." She opened her palm and started playing with fire.

"That's good." I said, my voice still hard. "But to leave your clan without permission...."

"You are not the boss of me, XAVIER!" My sister's eyes were deadly to look at. I winced.

"Okay, okay." My hands fidgeted uncomfortably. "Why are you here?"

A creepy smile spread on her face. "I got some news you were back to torturing again." Her pale hands tapped the wooden surface of the table as she looked at me with her freakishly intimidating eyes. I nodded in agreement.

"I happen to know the girl you were torturing." Sairah started pacing around. When she reached me, my skin felt cold. My, I think she's stronger than me.

"Can you bring me to her?"

It took a whole minute for me to decide.

"Fine....Come meet the Order in the torture chamber."
