LuNortha (Book 1 of LuNortha trilogy)

Chapter 7

↢ Thawne ↣

Thawne shakes his head furiously. The message in front of him on the screen makes him want to destroy something...anything. Scott keeps talking but Thawne just ignores him. Instead, he reads the message over again and again. ' That son of a bitch! What the hell is going on? Is this really the Rebels? This doesn't sound like them. Was it really the Rebels that took Kaira? Or was it someone else?'

' No matter who it is, I will make sure to find the son of a bitch and make him bleed. Nobody ever... ever throws me away from my own playground. This castle is my responsibility and somebody just walked inside the castle for the second time. Someone is walking in front of our nose and is laughing behind our backs. Who the fuck are you?'

The door to Scott's room opens and closes with a bang. When Thawne turns he sees Kai. Kai is standing in front of them with his fists closed, his jaw hard and his face red with anger.

'' Kai....''

He shakes his head and throws a note on the floor. Thawne takes it and what he reads makes all the color he had in his face disappear.

Well...well , what do we have here? Your captain, the one you call your brother and friend, is betraying you. You are probably wondering how. Let me tell you the answer. He betrayed you when he let Scott put cameras in your sister's room. When the assassin leaves the room, Scott follows her.

The time for the play has come and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Because I'm the one in control of the play. Don't underestimate me. They don't call me the Lady of Fire for nothing.

I'm going to give you a little riddle. If you know the answer I will know and find you. If you get the answer right you can ask me a question and I will answer.

But the riddle first, are you ready?

Twelve years ago I lost everything.

My family, my people, my home, myself and everything that meant something to me.

Twelve years have passed and no one knows I'm still here.

I see her laughing and smiling at him.

Her life has almost been as bad as mine but she keeps smiling, while I can't smile.

Soon...soon I will come and get you.

Who am I?

Start Guessing!

The clock is ticking away prince. Make sure you win or you will be like all the other one's who have failed. A pawn to a sick game that started over decades ago. From your dearest ruler and devil, Lady of Fire.

'' How could you? I told you to trust me and what did you do! You went behind my back when I asked you to trust me.''

Thawne looks up. '' I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you. We don't know this assassin, we can't trust her.''

Kai shakes his head. '' That assassin is the key to everything we have been dreaming about all these years. And this note proves it. While you don't trust her, I will make sure to trust her for both of us. Because I know a lost soul when I see it. After all I see it everyday in the mirror.''

The middle screen closes for a second, when the next second they all hear a dark laugh. Thawne gets the shivers while hearing the dark laugh. They all turn to the screen and what they see makes them forget what they were talking about.

In front of them on the screen there is a mask of fire, thorns and the color red reminding them of blood. The voice is all dark, as a man.

'' How did you like my game boys? I'm going to give you something even though I shouldn't. Let this go because we all know that you two will become friends fast. I am giving you a warning. The ones you stay together with and trust, don't. They will be the ones to end you before you even begin. Until the next time. Love from the devil Lady of Fire.''
