The White Rose Association

A Tiny Exception [III]

(Antonio on the top)

As soon as we got to the water we were greeted by a wave of coldness, doing this in October didn't help at all. I tried to continue with the task swimming trying to catch up with Antonio. He was fast yet I manage to never lost distance with him. As soon as the hunters got to the land they raced off the city. Our team got to the coast where we had some munitions for the task. Beck got a backpack where he found a note.

"What does it say?" I asked him as I tried to make myself stop shivering from the cold.

"It's only eight words: 'It's a tower that had its own hour." Beck said confusion clearly in his voice.

Eleanor and Leila looked at me and I shrugged clearly lost for now.

"What could have its own hour?" Eleanor said confused as she looked around.

Then it clicked.

"The Big Ben, it has its own clock, its own hour." I said with a smile as I gave a laugh, how could it not make sense if it was an iconic landmark here.

"And the smarty attacks." Beck said proudly as I smiled.

We got to two motorcycles, Eleanor with Leila and I was with Beck, we were halfway to the Big Ben when I heard some gun shots.

"What's going on?" Beck asked, Beck and Leila were driving meanwhile Eleanor and I were in the back of each motorcycle. I looked to the back and there were four motorcycles following us and in one of them was a very armed Antonio. The hunters were getting closer to us, and they were shooting us.

"Are they mad? How can we possibly be discrete if they are shooting us in the middle of the day?" I yelled as I heard the continuous gunshots.

People ran away from the scene in panic and the police was already behind us.

"Grab the gun!" Beck said as he tried to swerve the cars ahead of us.

I grabbed the gun and gave a turn so my back would be against Beck's back, Eleanor followed me and got in the same position as I, my hair was now unfastened and all I could think of was getting rid of them before they could take us out.

"Try to go faster Beck so we can lose them!" I told him when I realized that at this rate they would catch up to us in no time.

One of the hunters started to shoot and the other followed, one bullet lightly touched my cheek leaving a cut across my face.

"Are you alright?" Eleanor asked as she stared at me shocked.

"That was barbaric!" I said as I looked at Antonio who was only feet away from me, I pointed my gun at the tire of his motorcycle and I pulled the trigger. His motorcycle went down but Antonio jumped and started to run.

"Is he bloody bionic?" Eleanor yelled in panic as Antonio got closer to us.

Antonio stopped running and got on Sarah's motorcycle, he whispered something on her ear and they started to get closer to us. Antonio got next to our motorcycle.

"Goodbye, little one." Antonio said before they pushed the motorcycle making us fall, I went against a store and went through the glass breaking it.

"Alice, are you alright?" Beck said worried as he rushed towards me.

I had some cuts in my hands and my mouth tasted like blood but other than that I was fine.

"He is going to pay for this, I'm pissed off." I said as I got up and followed Beck back to the motorcycle.

I was in rage.
