The Last Seven Lives

Henry's Reason

AN: Hello, Uniters! I am so happy to be back for this chapter which is inspired by Beautiful Evil from Fanfiction.net! She helped me come up with this idea! Disclaimer always applies! Stay strong and beautiful!

Olivia's POV:

I fidget in my seat as I await Henry's return. Valentina isn't back yet so we decided to change our plans. We have a weapon that is powerful enough to cut off mai powers. It's a dart that poisons them and takes away their memory of the attack. My thoughts are interrupted when the door opens and Henry walks in. "How did it go? Does she know you attacked her?" He smirks and shakes his head. "Of course not. I shot her from behind. The last memory she'll have before the poison kicked in is of me yelling her name as if I'm trying to warn her about the attack." I nod and grin. "Excellent! Tell me more. Did she try to fight you while she was slowly poisoned?" Henry thinks for a minute. "She tried desperately. She even screamed that I wouldn't get away with killing her and that Alek was right about me. She won't remember any of that though."

"Do you have any idea when Valentina will be back?" Henry shakes his head and I sigh. "That's a shame. Well, that's why our plans changed, right?" He nods again and I know what he's thinking about. "Do you want to see her?" He lifts his head slightly and makes direct eye contact. "Yes." I stand and grab a key out of a drawer. I walk out of the room and don't need to look back to know he's following me. We walk to a spiral staircase and start to descend into darkness. Henry puts his hand on my shoulder to help me stay upright. He stops me for a second and I hear his claws come out. A second passes and they're back in his hands. "Spiderweb." I nod and we keep walking. Finally we hit solid ground and the lighting is better. We walk to a door and I unlock it. He rushes in and I can hear him talking to his sister. His work as an assassin is what's keeping her alive. Eventually, his heart froze over and now he's a coldblooded killer. The only thing that thaws his heart is seeing his sister. I look inside to see him holding her in his arms and momentarily feel guilt for turning such a sweet kid into a ruthless monster. It passes quickly and I sigh.

AN: So there's a little information on what led Henry to be an assassin for The Order. He's NOT A good guy, but he used to be! See you next weekend!
