No one POV Andy walked fastly through the long and dark hallway, the only audible sound were his footsteps. He finally arrived in front of a huge wooden door and opened it only to find chaos behind it. "We won't do as you say...it's a dumb plan" "Oh yeah, cause yours is so brilliant" "We have to vote, I refuse any order" "We need Andy, where the hell is he?!" "I'm here and you fighting just gave me a headache" Andy glared at them sitting at his seat around the table. "Andy say something, Robertson's plan is shit" Brook said. "We don't know when the Shadow Warriors will attack, we just know they will so we have to defend ourselves" Sonny explained with a calmer tone. "So you plan to be a coward" Jack loudly commented with his arms crossed. "Is to be smart" Harper defended slamming both his hands on the wooden table. "Shut up!" Andy got up. "We won't decide anything if we keep doing this. Our parents gave us the power cause they have faith in our decisions but arguing isn't the way" The room went silent, the guards outside confused and scared about what was going on in there. "They gave us the power to make smart decisions. When you will see that I'm right then I'm down for a talk" Jack said then went to leave. Sonny couldn't hate Jack more, he always acts like a child when things don't go his way.
"Sir Jack...Sir Wyatt is here to see you" a servant said quietly. "Yeah right, let him in" A second after Brook walked in and saying that he was pissed off was an understatement. "Who is he to tell me that my reign is a joke...A JOKE! I take my role seriously and no one has the right to insult us. Wyatt means brave so he's the clown here" "Ignore him" was all Jack said. "How the fuck could I ignore him. He defaced my name, the Wyatt's name and he wants my help against Rye" Brook rolled his eyes. Jack stayed calm while his tailor was taking measurements for his new suit. "Why don't we choose for ourselves?" Brook said out of nowhere. "What?" "We ignore the Circle and attack Rye. Simple" "Edgar, please leave us alone" Jack ordered and in 2 seconds the tailor was gone. "Are you out of your mind?! That's exactly what Rye did. The Circle exists so that we can't take over" Jack couldn't believe his best friend but the idea was appealing... "Jack...you can't stand Sonny, you've always loathed him so why should you listen to him? Our armies combined can make it" Jack thought about it for a second and he found himself agreeing.
So the two kings started to plan everything secretly. Some people in the castle questioned the frequent presence of Sir. Wyatt but Jack didn't care about rumors. "Do the others suspect anything?" Jack asked while pacing the huge room. "Nah, Sonny is way too far up his ass and Harper follows him everywhere like a puppy while Andy...well, he's Andy" Brook played with the little soldier on the strategic map. "Ok...we have to make it" They looked at each other and nodded.
-months later- Sonny ran his hand nervously through his hair. He was submerged by letters from all his allies who were pressuring him to decide regarding Rye and his Shadow Warriors. "Sir...I know you didn't want to be disturbed but Sir. Dark is here" a servant said leaving the door open after Sonny nodded his head. "We are fucked" "I'm good, thanks for asking. How are you, Harp?" "No Sonny, we are fucked. Duff killed us all" At the mention of Jack's name, Sonny looked up from the letter in his hand. "What are you talking about?" "Duff and Wyatt attacked Rye and his Shadow Warriors" Sonny's face went white, he couldn't breathe. "They were planning it for months apparently..." Sonny's mind was empty, he didn't know what to do or what to think. "Does Andy know?" "Yes, we found out together. What do we do?" Silence, Sonny just spaced out. "Sonny?" "I don't know!" He raised his voice even tho it wasn't his intention. "Sorry...I- it's just that Jack gets on my nerves...he sent us to death. Ugh!" Sonny was frustrated, he only saw red. If before he hated Jack now he wished for Rye to kill him. "We need to be ready in case they won't make it" Harper said and he was right, Sonny knew it but a part of him wanted to help. But he didn't know what to do. He trained his whole life for moments like this but he still couldn't bring himself to decide.
