The Guild of Red Wolves

•~13~•

Sophie's P.O.V.
It was dark by the time I convinced Tam to go along with our "ally's" plan. Well, it was more like directions. Kinda. "Tam, it's the only solid plan we have!" I argued quietly so as not to make the cameramen suspicious.

Tam shook his head. "There is no way I will go along with whatever this is, I won't allow it," he muttered back. I sighed. He was becoming way too overprotective. "We don't know anything about them!" Tam continued.

I groaned. There was only one way to end this. "Tam, when we were at Exilium you decided to trust me, and now were practically siblings! If you hadn't decided to trust me, we would never had been able to figure out the cure for the plague and neither of us would be close like this. You have to take a risk sometime, otherwise, we may be missing out on a new ally or even a friend." I paused, waiting for him to answer. "You better say yes, or else that ginormous inspirational speech would have been for nothing," I finally complained and Tam, surprisingly, but begrudgingly agreed to the plan.

"Fine! I'll go along with it, but if anything happens up say 'I told you so,'" he relented.

I smirked at him. "I'm counting on it.

Tam's P.O.V.
I don't know how she does it. Sophie just has a way with words. That little skill will help her change the world some day. I sighed for what felt like the hundredth time. Why was it taking to long for Sophie to unlock the cell door? Before I could voice my thoughts, a soft click came from the lock and immediately I knew we were home free.

"Got it," the moonlark whispered under her breath as she quietly opened the door. "Now we just have to free the rest." I sighed again. Why didn't our "ally" give us two keys? Quickly, we went to work unlocking all the doors and freeing the prisoners. I was also a little miffed at this part, but Sophie argued that "the enemy of our enemy is our ally," or something like that. It was cute when people thanked her and she blushed. I felt a small smile tug at the corners of my lips as I watched Sophie get all flustered. Adorable.

Finally, when all the cells were opened, I took the key from Sophie and unlocked the chamber door, setting off an alarm. "Quickly, everyone! Get out of here!" I whispered loud enough for all the prisoners to hear. "Go, go, go!" If I hadn't caught her, Sophie would've been trampled from the stampeding captives.

"Thanks," she mumbled with a slight flush and started moving toward the exit. We met a few Neverseen members on the way, but we reached the armory before anyone saw us and stocked up, so we were prepared to fight our way through.

Just as we reached the last door, an annoyingly familiar voice stopped us. "Hello Moonlark, Shade. I wouldn't go any farther unless you want to see a friend of yours get hurt. By you." Sophie cursed and I felt like doing the same as both of us turned around to find Gisela. And she was holding a dagger to Elwin's neck.

Ali's P.O.V.
I sighed as I watched from above. I swear, these elves can get nothing done. I could faintly hear the icy blonde explain to the lovebirds that if they don't step back into the cell, then their friend would die and blah, blah, blah. Yeah right. As if I, the greatest assassin in the Red Wolves guild would ever let our two possible new recruits get captured again. They already took up enough time bickering about the idea of trusting me. Even if it was smart, and for bonus points they ended at night, I was still on a schedule, as much as I hated it. I couldn't let them mess it up any more than they already have.

Quietly, I jumped down from the rafters behind the blonde woman (Or reports indicate that her name is Gisela) and made the universal "Sh" sign to the elves that were looking my way. I motioned for the sword in the shade's hand and he nodded slightly, only enough for me to see, and he tossed it with skill in my direction.

It was close enough to Gisela that she misdirected the movement as a threat and drew the dagger on the physician's neck closer. "Well, it looks like you ignored my warnings for too long. Say goodbye to your friend. The moonlark looked to me in panic as Gisela snapped her fingers and a red light appeared on the inflictor's head.

I quickly grabbed the sword that the shade threw and hit Gisela's head with the butt of the blade, making the light disappear.

"Thank you for helping us!" The moonlark exclaimed and I grunted in response.

"Don't make it a habit," I snarled at them, covering my normal voice. "I'm an assassin, not a life saver. Now, we better go before she wakes up." The partners nodded in agreement as I grabbed the messy-haired physician. Holding out the crystals I gave them, they light leaped back to the moonlark's home, leaving me with the Neverseen's unconscious leader.

Hey, y'all! I was finally able to create this chapter!! Yes! Okay, first and foremost, I want all of y'all to go and follow my friend, RedLettersKJV. She is an awesome person, and I love her so much! (I am not lesbian, I am ashamed of you for thinking that! Lia is practically my sister!) Also, I will be at camp for the next five days, so I won't be publishing any chapters until at least saturday. My mama took my phone, so that might be a problem too. Sorry. 

Anyways, here are your questions:

1: What do you think the Guild of Red Wolves is?
2: How should Sophie and Tam finally realize their romantic feelings for each other?
And
3: Should the Red Wolves recruit just a few of Sophie's friends, or the whole group?
Love you, Sweets!
