Sides - Aether Harem (modern au)

Chapter 15

"barge in"

"no. Back door or roof"

Both of the alchemist and the assassin has arrive just as planned. Now what left is to enter the place and look for Aether. But Xiao prefer to barge in since it's an emergency for him but Albedo prefer to keep it quiet and not make a fuss.

"I'm sure everyone is assembling in the main hall we can avoid getting close to that them" in hurried, worried about how might Aether be after a few days without him. Albedo couldn't say more but to follow before they felt a slight shake on the ground.

Looking at each other before they notice a group of guests are rushing out as if something is chasing them out. The shake shows its something massive which alerted Albedo most. Prepared he pulled out a syringe and rush in.

It was so loud Xiao himself couldn't think straight but to chase Albedo looking for the cause of the shaking.

One by one of the guards who tried to approach Aether flew away smashed by those small yet strong tentacle. Kaeya is instructing the guest to rush out while Diluc and the rest think of a way to settle this down. "Do you have the antidote?" Lumine looked at him wandering what Diluc meant by 'antidote'.

Ignoring the master, Lumine order Zhongli and Kazuha to get the car and few equipment since Childe is no where to be seen before answering "I don't have anything such as those that would hurt my brother. Instead, what have you done to him!?" Diluc clickef his tongue annoyed. He let his guard down thinking Aether is simply safe since they manage to get him out.

Observing the surrounding Diluc thought maybe Lumine can comfort Aether as she's the sister.
"Lumine you go comfort him" grabbing the girl arm Diluc shoved her towards Aether hinting but Lumine wasn't ready, she's not confident if she could but for Aether..

Sprinting while dodging the attacks placing her focus on Aether. At the same time a sight of another man coming from the opposite way approaching Aether all covered up. For a second their eyes locked but Albedo manage to get Aether first.

On his knee Albedo slide and press the syringe into Aether's outer thigh right when Lumine arrive hiding Aether's head in her embrace cooperating with Albedo and another brunnette who just arrived. There was no time to think.

His sight was blurry, he saw Lumine approaching him sending him comforts and a sting on his right thigh. The tentacles slowly redraw into Aether making the surrounding queit again. The liquid started to take effect forcing Aether to relax functioning exactly like drugs.

Kazuha and Zhongli arrived all prepared but the situation has already gotten better. Kaeya and Diluc standing next to each other watching. Tears formed in Lumine's eyes caressing his brother. She felt a sense of guilt.. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you before"

"Can't you see he's in a mess. What are you waiting for?" Xiao placed his coat to cover Aether since his clothes is ripped. He carried Aether up keeping his cool but the fact that there are so many questions in his head. What was that just now? Who is this woman looking almost like Aether? And why does Albedo seem pretty calm. "Whatever we're going to discuss, let's do it later. Now give us a room"
