Gamble Of Serpants

Chapter 7:

Mar 18, 2023...

I have been working and to Scrap it seems like we don't hang out as much since that kid combusted... Sir Judith has been helpful. The Trebors have been on guard and have been managing to get rid of police from our door. They have started to try and come after me because I myself, am part of The Mutated. I am twenty-one years old now.

My parents have been having a hard time trying to talk to me. They say I've become distant and isolated myself in my work. Oliver and Caden worry about me as they are telling me to go have fun and relax for a day or two.

Though I can't, they do not know what I have been up to. I need to do this...

They are killing innocents and I do not want to run away from my home ever again! I will not leave and I have told them I will stand my ground. They support me though it has been difficult.

However, I do fear that I will have to leave them if the police get too much. As Caden, my mother, and Oliver, my father are not Mutated like me... They are normal... But they care for our kind and are part of many criminal organizations already. Oliver, Mr. Trebor is a mob boss in his own way. He does have his territory. So... If I leave, would it be better for them? Would it be easier? No- It wouldn't... Would it? Because of Sir Judith... He still lives here. He is like me yet he is not. As long as he keeps his eyes closed or hidden he should be fine as he is not a registered mutated from my knowledge at least. However, I have reason to believe it may be for the best because with what I am about to start my home will be a safe haven for the time being and the place I will stay will be a war zone.

Now is not the time for dilly-dallying as I gather my things and pack only what I need. Though my parents came in as I was packing. My father patted me on the back and hugged me as he wished me well in my plan. My mother stood tall and smiled before she nearly squeezed me to death. Not before sending Sir Judith to go along with me. I didn't want him to go but I knew Sir Judith could hold his own and it would make my parents feel better so I begrudgingly let him come with me.

My parents, everyone, I have to do this...

Mr. Sinclair... Father... I wonder what you would think of me. I hope you don't think of me any less for doing this. But I am going to do this in your name, in the remembrance of your scarred body with a story untold... A lullaby for sins... Sinclair. Elias Sinclair! Is... back! Or well, I actually never knew your first name, father... So, I'll just go on my own.

So let me give you... One last kiss, Father, My Dear. I don't need you anymore. I don't need you like I need a broken leg. I don't need you like a broken promise. Yet I love you like an alcoholic...

By the time me and Sir Judith leave, the sky has turned black and empty. Nothing in the sky, just dark shades of black and blue. The Normies had set a curfew so people couldn't be out no later than eight O'clock. But in the night's eye, me and Sir Judith roamed. We moved around till we made sure we weren't being followed and headed to my new base of operations. An abandoned observatory if you will. Where I have had some things set up prior, like a kitchen, bathroom, a bed, but most importantly a lab! With cameras! And with some cameras of the city, I may or may not have hacked in with a little help from one of my hires who goes unknown by the Normies. Gold Amber, my new hire! She is a Normie herself! But her mind! She is a genius! Too bad these Normies let her go... Gold specializes in alchemy but she is capable of so much more and she has proven that! She can also use computers like there is no tomorrow!

Gold is obsessed with, well... gold. However, she is going to play a big role in our operations! However, other than Gold herself; her older brother, Setsuna, came along as well and he is considered to be her guardian as Gold is only sixteen but it is no worries! These Normies underestimated her value and for that, they shall suffer. Setsuna is my age and a little bit colorblind, but he too, is useful and wants to help my cause. They are both blonde; Gold's eyes are yellow while her brother's are blue. They both wear glasses which is interesting but their facial structures are very different from one another. Gold looks like a child, especially with the height she currently is. Gold is four foot eight; Setsuna is five foot seven. Setsuna looks masculine and he has a clean-shaven face. Though his hair is nice and he keeps it up in a small ponytail. Gold dresses like a scientist, while Setsuna dresses more elegantly, kinda like Sir Judith in a sense but more business casual or on the occasion he will wear this sweater and jeans and it looks so nice I can't even explain it.
