The Black Hair Conspiracy

Chapter 3

Alaric's P.O.V

       I don't know how many days has gone by not that I cared. I kept reminding myself that I wasn't in love but yet here I am mourning the demise of my wife, Theresa. Nothing of excitement happened recently and I wasn't a man to dally with women. And I had promised my wife to not allow any woman whosoever to come between us, but over a couple of years I had broken that vow, since she hadn't shown up. I felt stupid for breaking such voice. Deep down whatever I attraction I had inside me to make such a decision had begun to die down
"Who's there" I called walking around the my meeting chamber with a half glass of wine. I need to get my mind off this occasional thought of my wife

She might be out there with a man while I was here having strange thoughts of her
"Master" a guard walked in and bowed on one knee before straighting his back to stand firm
"Call me Addison" I said not sparing him another glance as I swallowed the rest of the content in my glass.

       Time stopped. It happens. But I began too frequent for my liking therefore arousing suspicion.
The thing about this was how everything stopped but I kept moving, I didn't freeze. I moved cautiously like it was my first time still in awe, I walked out of my room looking at the clumsy guards, his back bent having this annoying bored look on his face. The other tht replaced the man I just sent opened his mouth In attempt to yawn without his hand to cover his mouth. The both looked bored than tired. I won't blame then nothing fun happened for a very long time. I looked at them with disappointed look. Well then training must begin once more, I have to run this place strictly like the long line of Winston's before me.

It resumed and the guy whom I still looking at with disgust yawned loudly before his eyes went wide with fear
"Lord Winston" "Ha..how did you.." he bowed frantically and so did his accomplice. His eyes looking from me to the door. I cringed at the title they used but said nothing. I don't blame him for feeling like I owe him an apology

"You" I pointed with my head "Get me George"I said not wanting to spare him another glance

"And one more thing" I started without turning.. "you're relieved of your guard duty, pack your things and leave" Finality dripping from my words.

"But.." he began
Making me turn swiftly, him I been too keen on them that made him want to tweet my order how dare he...

I shot him a glare
"Guards!" I called
And three came rushing
"Take him to dungeon, I'll like to teach him some manners that's if would be privileged to see another day outside the dungeons
The guards were shocked but made no attempt to question me
"You" I pointed to the third person with my index finger that still held the empty glass.
"Replace him"
I looked at the other guard that didn't stand straight
"Adjust your posture soldier, you might just end up like him if you're not careful."
It's high time I come out of my shell

****Sam*****

        I begged Leo to be on duty this night as an excuse you liberate my mind from do many to thoughts. After starring at me wearily he allowed me to go.

        I sat in and old tree branch after being sure it could hold my weight. I leaned my head on it, taking a deep breath. The night was eerily quiet, I thought maybe nature knew what I wanted.
     *Deep breath*
*Deep breath*
      *Weird breath*
Weird smell
My eyes shot open. I straightened my back and fought to have a good view of my surroundings with the night. Nothing looked suspicious but something smell suspicious. I should be down from the tree by now but I wasn't, my googles weren't with me. And if this was one of those attacks then I was sure to need back-up.
   I blew a whistle with my mouth as a way to alert the others.

         That's when they came, they looked...normal, humans to be exact. Not scary at all. I stayed comfortably on the branch preparing my HK416C for fire. I saw one of them his face entirely covered with a something black to cover their face except their eyes.
    
      I made a mental count until one of them raised his head. Honestly I had no I idea how they came in.
*Shot* straight to his head and another to the other one whom I calculated to have noticed. More three stood immediately alert that they had been found out even from a distance. Better far and early than close and late. By now the others on duty would have been alerted.
    But something else happen, the two I shot laid flat on the ground giving me the idea that they were dead. Until they shot up, eyes searching for where the gun shot came from. I changed position almost immediately but quietly. I've never seen this before this was a direct head shot yet they survived. Was they something I didn't know about or was they a mistake??
      
  "Leo?" I pressed into the walkie talkie trying to be discreet.
" Leo over!"
"Sam?Over"
"They're coming 45 degrees right, five of them, Over"
"You were the one that shot earlier?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, fall back"
"What?"
"The higher-ups said they weren't what we had in mind, Sam they are immortals, special weapons are arriving and I believe you should be here by now!" His voice rang with urgency.
    
       I jumped down from my spot and made my way to Leo in the dark
    He handed me a gun that looks just like the one I was with but this time the bullets were purple and note sharp it smelt like alcohol. It was clad tightly with metal to fit where the bullets were meant to go
