Illegally Enticing

ch7: the plan

After the celebration Will began to focus all his free time into the plans preparations.

Every night for the next few weeks he would be sending letters to various different places and met up with a few old 'friends'.

Tonight wasnt any different.

"Make sure to cover these five areas specifically, we need to make sure no one comes in or out, got it"

The man in a dark robe nodded as Will pointed at five different areas.

"Once there stay in position until I give the signal, though I doubt I will we still need to make sure nothing goes wrong"

Will then rolled up the map and threw it into the fire. "Leave and prepare"

The robed man left silently. Will watched his fleeing back tyinv a piece of paper around his birds leg, "You too."

The bird flew out the window hearing Will words.

"Now, I just need to figure out what I can do to have the least amount of damage as possible" Will whispered to himself.

He then picked up the pieces of paper on the desk and threw then into the fire as well.

He needed to destroy all the evidence so that no one would find out what is to happen.

Thanks to his photographic memory he didn't need to worry about destroying these important papers.

Will then out his cloak on and left his room. He still needed to plant more things in their spots.

First he went towards the library. He placed a small box between two books.

Will then went straight to the garden next. There he he took out a small pouch from his pocket and hid it between the bushes.

The last location was the training grounds, he needed to place a 'seed' there.

Just as he was about to head there though he saw someone in the distance, staring at him.

Will took his hood off not wanting whoever was eatching him to think he was an intruder.

'Hopefully they domt question why I'm wearing this' Will thought, he wasnt worried if they had saw hum burry something or not as it will not interfere with the plan.

He was more worried about the fact that he might get interrogated for being up so late and wearing a hood out.

He saw the person walked up to him, slowly he figured out who it was.

"I didnt expect to see you here so late at night" Hannibal said once he was a few feet infront of Will.

"Neither did I, but here we are" they stared at eachother for a few moments, inspecting one another.

"If you excuse me I should get going" Will tried to walk away but just as he took a step forward Hannibal grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him.

"Will, that bravery of yours is going to get you into alot of trouble one of these days"

Will couldn't help but roll it eyes at Hannibal's words, "What makes you think it will?"

Hannibal answers him with a smile. Will doesn't know what to think as he looks at him.

"Shall we spar? To tire us out" Hannibal said as he walked towards where the wooden swords were staying.

Will observed Hannibal's movements, he didn't like the way Hannibal stared and talked to him, something in the way he talks, moves, and in his gaze scream danger.

He felt as the danger was waiting, waiting for him to make a mistake, waiting to see or hear something anything.

Hannibal threw one of the swords at him, Will effortlessly grabbed it. 

He swong it around, accustoming his feel on the sword.

"Your a natural" Hannibal said now standing infront of Will with his own sword and jacket off somewhere.

"It's been a long time since I last held a sword" Will admitted looking Hannibal directly in the eyes.

"And why is that" Hannibal asked circling him. His sword laying by his sidem

Will followed him with his eyes, "I promised my wife that I would never raise a sword again"

"Ah, a promise to the women you loved, how honorable" Hannibal tje raised his sword towards Will's throat.

"But tell me Will, did the flame inside you grow or falter over the years?"

Will lifted his chin up into a more comfortable postition as one can get with a sword pointing at them.

He then with a swift motion of his sword threw Hannibals towards the side.

"I don't know, you tell me" Will said sarcastically. Hannibal grinned at him amused and went to pick up his sword.

"Then tell me, did you really keep your promise to your wife or did you betray her trust and train that body of yours every chance you had?"

"Betray? Is it really betrayal if she new the moment she made me make that promise that I would not complete it"

"Yet still she tried to put shackles on you, trying but failing to take away one of the things you love most, fighting"

Will went silent after that. He knew Hannibal was right but he didnt care, he loved Molly and she loved him back.

"And you know Will, still to this very day, I wonder why you try so hard for something that you can never reach"

Confused Will asked "And what is that?"

Hannibal smirked walking up closer towards Will faces only a few inches apart but bodies flat against eachother.

Hannibal grabbed Will's hips pulling him impossibly closer and leaned down towards Will's ears.

"Closure, that you are more then just a tool to those you deem family"

Will flinched at the words, "I am not a tool" he said trying to say it confidently as possible.

"No, you are not"

Will and Hannibal staying in their position staring at eachother. Will felt troubled on how much Hannibal seemed to know so much about him yet, Will knows nothing about the man infront of him.

Will then felt Hannibal take the sword away from his hands and heard fall somewhere in the distance.

"Let's continue this later then" Hannibal says abruptly pulling away from Will.

Will stared at his back as he walked away from him before continuing to do what he originally was here for tonight.

'It's going to be a long night' Will thought as he pulled on last thing out of his pocket. The final item to put everything in place. He put his cloak back on and left.

Unaware to him, someone was watching everything that unfolded from the sidelines.
