RYDER
"You should trust me because I am... her..." he stopped, I can already see his eyes.
"Who are you?!" I stood up staring at his eyes.
"I'M HER BOYFRIEND!!" his face now uncovered, he stared with a sharp eye then smirked, "I'M JAMES WHO CAN HUNT THROUGH MY DREAMS!"
Shocked, I was taken aback, sat down as I formed a fist. Despite knowing that he is James, I am still hesitant in helping him. I don't know whom to trust in this group.
"Why aren't you dead?! You are here but you're living a life outside?!" I asked.
"I'm not as important as you are!" he rebuts.
"As important as I am?!"
"You are the SEER, and I just serve as a tracking device, I sleep and seek for people."
Seer is someone who can prophesize future events, I am a clairvoyant who sees the death of people through my dreams and maybe that is why he calls me SEER; James can find people through his dreams, so they call him Hunter, it makes sense now. I wonder what would be the abilities of other members.
"I am important?! I'm just your tool in delivering your letters. And why me? What are the abilities of the others?"
"You'll get the answers after you deliver your first letter. Oh, them? Obviously not all are like us, like KILL who got to the top due to his good physique and tactics in fighting and creating fake deaths. All your questions will be answered, just do as our leader commands."
"Do as our leader commands? Then your plan, you want to save her right? Wouldn't doing what the leader commands be the reason of her death? How can I help you then?" I asked. I am the one who needs to gain his trust, saving Sophia would also be the start of serving justice for my supposed death, and my brother's death. I'll know the culprit behind this and bring this group down.
"We've been talking so long that I almost forgot. Remember your dream about her, or read the letter then tell me what her death would be, the rest of the plan is up to me."
My dream? That's when it hit me, how did they know about my ability? And how did they know about my dreams? I opened the envelope and the letter inside was blank.
"H-how is that possible?" I asked.
"Magic!" he laughed sarcastically.
It was hard talking to him, as if there are two people I'm talking to: one is serious and wants to save Sophia, while the other is sarcastic and is confusing me on what to do. Two-faced?
"SERIOUSLY! Tell me, are these intentionally blank?" I asked.
"No, but you'll know soon. Try to remember your dream, it's our hope. Just try to be consciously dreaming, think of her when you are sleeping."
"So that's how you mastered your talent?" I queried.
He was about to talk but someone knocked so he rushed to cover his face then whispered, "sleep then tell me later."
I did sleep, and dreamt of her but at that time I woke up, members are already waiting for me outside.
I was able to deliver her letter but I wasn't able to tell James, I am not sure if he is the superior with me, and there are 3 more members with us who could get suspicious if I whisper something to the superior.
Morning, after Sophia's death...
James came back at my room going in circles. "She's dead! Dead. DEAD!!!" said James.
