Metanoia Book 1

Chapter 17. The Darks Meeting

The very next day Annabelle had arranged a meeting with the whole team, which meant that the two last members of Team Yami would be there. The three girls Annabelle, Sif and Lilly sat in their meeting room located near the royal military area. They got the place from both Annabelles father and their other teammates' parents connections. Since most of them come from a high status rank.

Sif was helping with treating most of Lilly's wounds by cleaning them and wrapping bandages around the places that had almost sprained her limbs. Lilly was not looking too good, since she had been forced to tell everything she knew about the other team, along with getting a punishment for letting out their information.

The other two had not arrived yet so they just waited. The only thing you could hear was small whimpers from Lilly when Sif cleaned the injuries, while Sif whispered small comfort words to her. Annabelle turned her attention to Lilly who was only looking down "I hope you understand Lilly, this also hurts me as well" Annabelle said giving a small eye roll. When Sif finished wrapping the last bandage the doors finally opened and the two last members stepped inside. The first girl had multicolored hair with the colors purple, pink, green and blue and had purple eyes. She was wearing a black mask and was wearing a blue and black hoodie along with a white t-shirt, and a black pair of pants. Around her neck was a green emerald necklace hanging. The second girl had blond hair with a bit of purple and pink in it, she has a red eye and the other is covered by a bandage. She wears a long black coat along with a white shirt and dark blue shorts. Around her arms and right leg were wrapped in bandages. These two were also known as the big dogs, the leaders of Team Yami.

"This better be about something useful or interesting or else we're leaving" Said the multicolored haired girl with a bored voice while the other stayed quiet. Annabelle gave a small laugh before smiling to both of them "trust me, I think this will interest both of you" she replied with a happy tone, signing for them to take a seat. The two girls looked at each other before taking their seats. The blonde haired girl looked at Lilly noticing her new injuries, but said nothing, and pointed her attention back to Annabelle. "You see, I have a little bird singing about our 'good friends' on the other side" she finished and gave a quick glance at Lilly. This made the multicolored girl curious and got more comfortable in her seat. "We have some spies sneaking around in Groydon trying to gain information about us and to end the war." she finished with a smile. Both girls looked at each other "Spies you said? Well that makes things more interesting!" said the multicolored girl with a now changed happy tone. Annabelle only returned with a small chuckle before speaking again "Not only that, but sadly someone from the good team knows about our plans" she replied looking at Sif who nodded and gave a quick glance at the blonde girl who noticed so Sif quickly looked away. Something looked so familiar between her and the stranger Lilly was talking with in the forest, Sif thought. "Oh? Well then it looks like we have to give them a special surprise~". Annabelle and Sif both nodded at the statement, Lilly didn't dare say a word, so she just held her head down. "I do have some connection to Groydon, who might be able to help. So I will send you three there, and greet our new friends" The multicolored girl finished with a friendly smile.

"Oh my, I can't wait! They'll never see it coming!" Annabelle replied looking overly happy. Sif also gave a small chuckle "This is also making my blood boil with joy~" she stated, which seemed to please the other. "...what about you Lilly?" The blonde girl asked for the first time looking at Lilly who looked both confused and shocked at her. "I..." she looked at Annabelle, who just gave a smirk in response, but she could read her mind saying so otherwise. "I will do my best! They will see what they are messing with!" she said with a 'confidence' smile, but inside she felt horrible.

"Perfect! You will be leaving in two days I assume?" the multicolored asked looking at Annabelle with a smile. "If that is what you wish for Firenight, then we shall" she replied, The multicolored girl, Firenight nodded and both her and the Blond girl stood up and said their goodbyes before leaving. When they got outside and started to make their way back to their next location Firenight gave a small chuckle which made the Blond girl glance at her. "Something just seemed off with those three, which just kept making me curious, and I know you noticed it as well, Unheart. You normally never talk if there isn't something either annoys you or bugging you" Firenight said which made the other girl, Unheart look away staying quiet for a little while before opening her mouth "...Lilly had new injuries, so I just wanted to ask if she was okay with going" She replied with a cold expression and tone

Firenight looked at Unheart, not saying anything for a small moment before, beginning to fake cry and hugging her partner's arm "Aww, why do you never care when I get an injury!? Does Lilly mean so much more to you than me!?" she whined which Unheart just ignored and kept focusing on walking. "...Between you two, the big difference is that one of you is not human, right Firenight..." she finally replied which only got replied with a chuckle before letting go and walking in front of Unheart. Blue fire appeared around her while giving a small smirk. "I could only say the same to you, but I would still care about you more than a filthy human like them" she said with a mugging tone. This made Unheart clench her fist and her eyes started to glow a crimson red, before walking past Firenight not saying a single word. Firenight looked back at Unheart, and started to run after her. "Come on Unheart, don't be like that!" and that went on all the way to the military headquarters. Knowing that they have to think about some new plans.
