The Chiaroscuro: Chapter 9

I fooled them all. They knew nothing about my secrets. Nothing. I silently went towards their stupid strategy room. I was just going to enter when I heard Caleb shouting at Adeline.

“ How many times do I have to tell you not to kill anybody!” I heard Adeline curse at Caleb at a very soft voice.

“ I only killed one guy stupid.” Caleb then asked the guy’s name. At the sound of his name. The air seems like drop into zero degrees. I started crying as I remember our last conversation. I didn’t even got the chance to say sorry. I whispered in a very low voice the Greek word for change and almost immediately my hair pin turns into a knife.

“You’re going to pay!” I yelled at them as I ran towards them crazily. I head towards Adeline. Her eyes were full of shock but before I could stab her in the heart someone else step in front of her. The guy took my attack and the guy fell into the floor, dead.

As the guy lay dead on the floor Adeline burst into tears, Caleb and the others only stood there shocked at the death of their comrades. I quickly tried to escape but I was held by a girl stronger than me. I black out after he put his hand over my mouth.

Vega’s POV

I can’t believe someone died in front of me. I don’t believe everything. I was horrified at the sight of the blood. What is happening to me? Why am I horrified? For Gods’ sake Adeline you killed more than a hundred people! For all I care you almost killed your best friend!

Caleb went in my room totally uninvited. He was a holding a huge pile of papers. He’s probably trying to cheer me up with that again. Caleb is just fine, he was something else compared to my previous boyfriend.

“Have you gone soft Adeline?” He asked.

“Gone soft?” I asked him sarcastically. I shook my head. I’m not the Adeline I used to be anymore. I’m not the emotional Adeline that everyone thinks is a loner. I’m not like Kari Kamiya. After Apollonair’s death I don’t think I could go on with that kind of life again it was one of the reason I didn’t went back to Camp.

“After killing about a hundred people do you think I will gone soft just by witnessing someone die in front of me?” Caleb nodded.

“SHUT UP! That death didn’t even matter to me not even a single ounce of tears can be found running down from my eyes!” I yelled at him.

“Adeline did Hiro’s death made you remember something?” He asked as if I didn’t even yelled at him a while ago.

“You know what Caleb? To be honest with you it does. I want to as you a favor Caleb can you umm let Demetra go?”

“WHAT! AFTER THAT GIRL TRIED TO KILL YOU, YOU WANT ME TO LET HER GO?!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">“Yes.” Demetra saved my life once, she was a former friend. I owe her a life after her brother died protecting me and this is all I could
