Our Darkest Hours

XI

[No one]

Grian glanced around him. The Main HQ was quiet and the atmosphere was weird. Everyone seemed jumpy and no one was talking loud. The place seemed dangerous, which was definitely not what it was supposed to be.

He shared a look with Pearl. They both had a really bad feeling about the future of The Main World. The new council would ruin it and the old one couldn't maybe save it in time.

"Something is definitely wrong..." Grian whispered. He suddenly had a really bad feeling.

"You're right.. The atmosphere was dark before, but not this dark.." Pearl admitted.

Then a blood curling scream cut the air, making everyone froze. Now the whole Main World was dead-silent. Everyone was silently looking around.

Grian had a really bad feeling about the scream. Then his eyes met a scene he had never wanted to see.

In front of the Café was standing a female with shoulder length chocolate brown hair and forest green eyes. She had the Council's Admin's white cloak that was now stained in blood.

In front of her on the ground was laying a really familiar female with black and green hair. Her baby blue eyes were glassy and tears stained her cheeks. Her clothes were bloody and blood was slowly bubbling from the wound in her chest, staining the grass under her.

"The Lead Admin Ozinelle Crimson. That's what you get from lurking on the enemy's territory," The female's forest green eyes had a serious, but dangerous look as she tossed her blade on the ground besides them.

Grian watched the scene in horror. He was so shocked he nearly heard the broken sob that left Pearl's lips as she fell on her knees.

The players around them were in total panic. Most were crying out loud for the loss of the Lead Admin. Some ran away, some threw up and some even passed out. Everything was a total chaos.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Someone screamed out and approached the white cloaked admin.

"My job," The admin answered coldly before using her powers to toss the strangers again the closest wall. A terrifying crack filled the air as something broke.

Now the silence was broken and replaced with total screaming and shouting. Everyone wanted away, as soon as possible.

"C'mon Arcanay, you didn't have to scare 'em!" A male with amethyst hair and white eyes walked towards her. Grian recognized him immediately. He was one of the Rookie Watchers. Topi was his name. He had been chosen to be a Rookie Watcher, but had been kept in dark about everything just like the others. He was a Watcher, but didn't use his mask for his own reasons.

"She has been stopping me for months! I finally found out her actual identity. Of course I had to get rid of her!" The female, whose name was Arcanay, exclaimed and glared at the male.

"That doesn't give you rights to kill her in front of everyone," Topi spoke. He kept his voice calm and didn't snap at the female. Grian made a note that he had to black cloak, which meant that he was nowhere a Council's Watcher.

"We have to get rid of The Council's members. I had a chance and I took it," Arcanay snapped and began walking away from the male.

Topi sighed and glanced at the body of Ozinelle that laid before his eyes. He crouched up and gently picked her up from the ground. A normal player or admin wouldn't have noticed the guilty and sadness in his eyes, but Grian was a Watcher, not a normal player.

"I'm sorry that you had to witness that horrible event. I would be lying if I said that we're any better than The Council. At least they didn't do public executions.." Topi whispered the last part and glanced at the dead admin in his arms. "May ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ꖎᒷᔑ↸ ᔑ↸ᒲ╎リ 𝙹⨅╎リᒷꖎꖎᒷ rest in peace. I will bring her to the Main HQ's stairs because I have heard rumors that her sister, ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ᒲᔑ╎リ ᔑ↸ᒲ╎リ ᑑ⚍╎リリ, is still there, protecting the place," He continued.
