The Moment to Fight

Chapter 18

Kiera

The plan was to head out during the night so as to not be easily visible. We would all be wearing black as we marched to the Known Family's front yard. Once we got there, we would camp out in the trees surrounding the yard.

The Known Family always likes to overdo things. Hence why they would have a million huge trees framing the yard. Like why they couldn't just use a fence like normal Neph was beyond me. Whatever, now t gave us a place to hide until the daytime.

We wanted to be seen for when we stood up against the Known Family. We knew that with half the members of the Rebels most likely dead, that we wouldn't stand a chance of attacking again. We were far too few in number and it hadn't ended good last time.

We would be using no violence, only if the situation got too out of control which was the most probable thing to happen.

I lounged around all day with Trev and Declan. I was getting antsy about the operation and couldn't sit still much longer. I was sitting next to Declan on one side of me and Trev on the other. I didn't expect Trev to actually stay with us the whole day. He knew the Rebels much more than we knew us.

When my legs started bouncing subconsciously while I was sitting, Declan placed his hand on my knee to stop it from moving. I hadn't realized I had been doing that.

Trev snorted and I couldn't help but laugh at that.

Night approached and it was time to leave.

"We can do this. All of you are strong and brave. Go out there and give it your all like you always do. Ready?" Trev asked them trusted his hand out toward the center of the circle we had formed around him.

"Yes!" We all shouted in unison and placed our hands on top of his.

"Let's go!" Trev yelled and we threw our hands in the air.

In a single file line, we exited the building. No one looked jittery or even remotely nervous. They must have really wanted to do this. They looked like true soldiers. Displaying the qualities of true Guardians and Supports, it wasn't fair that they never got the chance to become one.

The Known Family's house was on the outskirts of the White Sector and wouldn't take long to get to.

The Rebels split up in small groups so it wouldn't be easy to spot us. Some groups were ahead, some behind, and some to the sides.

I was with Trev, Declan, and some other Rebels I never spoke with. Mei, his girlfriend, and Ry were in the group directly behind us.

It took us maybe two or three hours to reach our designation because of the enormity of the White Sector.

We stood far from the trees surrounding the yard just in case there were traps or security cameras.

"Mei," Trev whispered and motion with his hand to come forward.

Mei's golden eyes grew brighter and he stood still. When they faded back to normal, he said, "There are security cameras and a few traps distances between the trees."

At that he nodded to his girlfriend and she concentrated at the trees for a couple minutes.

"All set. I disabled all the cameras and traps. It should be safe to head up in the trees," she said.
