Scarlet Heart: What It Means To Be With You (TCF Fanfiction)

VIII.

Planning

The brunette woman with brown eyes leads her two companions to the stairs up to the top floor of the pub. She then opened the sole door located on the highest floor of the building, letting the black-haired woman enter first followed by the other brunette, and lastly, she entered and then closed the door behind.

The now black-haired woman, Cayena or Hennie sat on the single couch located in the middle of the room. She then crossed her legs as she waits for the others to settle themselves down.

"So, shall we start?"

"So you are saying that even though you guys went to the wolf tribe's territory earlier than we anticipated, that village still burnt down?" Hennie said in confusion. Not wants to believe that her plan to save the small village of the Blue Wolf tribe will end up as a failure.

"Didn't we assign our men to that place ages ago? Why did we still fail?" She asked with a hint of anger in her voice. She then massaged her temples as a massive headache feels like coming to her.

"We did..." The vice Guild master Briar meekly answered, getting nervous at her Guild Master's scary aura.

"Then what happened?"

"Based on the gathered reports, the attack happened at the time that the assigned guards changes their shift. Of course, before the afternoon shift went out they survey the perimeter as usual and they confirmed that there are no abnormalities that happened..." Briar explained as she gave the report papers to Hennie. Hennie then grabs it and scans the papers as fast as she could.

"Continue."

"Then when our night shift men arrived, all they can see was a sea of fire and dead bodies of the adult wolf tribe. In the middle of it is that young boy Lock protecting his younger siblings." Briar keeps on fidgeting her fingers and can't even look at Hennie straight into her eyes.

'We're friends for ages now but I am still scared of her whenever she is angry. It's as if she's a completely different person.' 

"But of course, our men helped Sir Choi Han and Miss Rosalyn to clean up!" She immediately added.

"Hmm..." Hennie then contemplates as it seems that everything did not happen the way she wanted it to. The first one is when she tried to meet the redhead young master at Puzzle City, but it failed miserably as the man and his party left hours before she came. And then her plan to save the blue wolf tribe village.
