RED (Dianakko)

15

Akko took the seat far away from the others, not wanting to interact with them as they all settled down and waited for the plane to fly off towards their destination.

She couldn't sleep, always snapping awake in fear that her 'team' will kill her, and It went like that till they finally landed, her heart clenching once she realized that they have arrived in the UK, but she knew better than trying to run away from her captures, so She sighed sadly as she grabbed her luggage and bordered off the plane with the others.

The drive was silent, no words being exchanged between them, but Akko was still wracked with anxiety.

Eventually she couldn't stop her eyes from closing, everything around her disappearing as she dozed off against the window, but what felt like a second, she was soon jolted awake by Josie shaking her shoulder.

"Come, we've arrived," the older woman stated bluntly, getting out of the vehicle.

With a long sigh, Akko reluctantly got out as well, staring at the very big outdated mansion in front of them, and Akko further wondered who exactly they were protecting, and from whom.

"We'll get our things once we meet our client and survey our surrounding area," Josie barked out, getting nods of acknowledgement from the team.

Josie was the one who knocked on the door, everyone standing still as they waited for someone to open the door and let them in, but luckily not a minute later, a very familiar figure opened the door.

"Daryl!" Akko shouted, shocking the woman as she squinted at the girl, trying to piece together where she saw this bothersome girl from.

"You're that girl from last year?!" Daryl said with disdain, "Diana isn't here, so you should leave," she huffed, clearly annoyed.

But before Akko could retort back, Josie gained Daryl's attention, explaining to her that Akko was indeed a member of their group sent to protect her, so with that, they were all let into the surprisingly empty mansion.

Josie did all the talking, mostly about where they'll be sleeping, and any schedule arrangements they needed to be aware of, and just like that, Daryl left quickly with at least two of their men to follow her.
"Daniel, Radcliff, Sharely, and Art, your shift starts now, and it'll end at 10am, the rest of you, get unpacked and rest, you'll need your full energy." Josie barked out the orders, as the group that was called out left, and the rest grabbed their things to take to their rooms.

Akko grabbed the little things that she brought and headed to her room that screamed aristocrats.

She locked her door and stripped her clothes, not bothering to neatly fold them as she went into a very unnecessary expensive bathroom.

"What did Daryl get herself into!" she said out loud, already picturing different scenarios, as well as what Diana's reaction would be, as she let the cold water hit her body, jumping ever so slightly.
