Alter Egos - The Devil's Ego

Chapter 5- An Unplanned Prediction

Decker left the building she was in. It was a very shady place but the building was red. As if it had been covered in blood. After she left another figure left with a cape that hid their face and body stature. Something they may not want anyone to find out. Decker then went to the Æ headquarters where she hoped that one of the assassins would reveal themselves and be on the hunt for a kill. Then she could catch them in the act and then lure the rest and kill them all. All bar two!

Shadow's POV:

Right. The plan. The plan. I need a plan. I cant let Decker know nor catch us. I cant bear to see my family ripped apart! Not only that I want to know who has been giving her all of this information. It can't be any of us. We wouldn't risk it. Even for a chocolate biscuit. As soon as I find out who gave her this info I am going to there words and information and stick it right up their ...

"Well?!" I here Blizzard ask.

"Well, what?!" I reply slightly confused.

"Well, do you have a plan?!" She then questions further.

Oh shit! I forgot about making sure I had a plan. I know exactly what to do. I then leave the meeting room with all of the other egos confused.

Ghost's POV:

Shadow leaves the room in a bit of haste. It's not like him to not have a plan ready. Something is bothering him and I don't know what. He seems kinda tense and a little bit rattled by something.

"What do you think he has gone to get?" Neko asks the group.

"Some alcohol?" Chinnock responds. We all glare at her response.

"What?" I ask.

"Alcohol. You know the stuff you drink to make your problems disappear. He is probably getting pissed!" She replies.

"You have the cheek to say this?! Shadow wouldn't drink! I hope. I hope he has a plan instead." I then reply.

"Do you think we will kill tonight?!" Chara then asks.

"I don't know. But one of us will have to be a decoy surely to make sure Decker doesn't catch any of us." Blizzard then states.

Shadow's POV:

I go to the file room where all the targets are kept. I then go to the most wanted section. The section where no matter what good actions these people perform they will be killed any way for their previous actions.

I just hope that my team can pull this off! If not. Then we are all going to be in for it.

Ghost's POV:

I hear footsteps coming down the hallway. I also here weaponry hitting itself. It must be Shadow. Although he sounds a bit clumsy. Especially with his weaponry. I hope it is him. And I hope he isn't drunk!

A figure then enters the room. Hood up and wearing a black and orange robe. With red trim. And they have a special cape on. It's got some old Italian word on it. Auditore. It's Shadow!

"Umm. Babe. What's with the outfit?" I ask in a bit of worry.

"What do you mean?" He asks back but in a very different tone. A tone of worry and disappointment.

"Well it's got orange on it and has a different cape." I then state.

"Oh. That. Don't worry about. Anyway. I have a plan." He then replies.

I didn't like his reply though.

"I will be the decoy. I don't need the money I have lots of it anyway. But this will all be good pay for you. So I will be the decoy and guide Decker away. Then you lot sit on the monitor room and when it is clear you all go and kill the targets I have given you. I hope to see you all when you return back." He then explains.

Everyone else leaves the office. Then I took my chance to confront him.

I then pin him up against the wall and very seriously say to him,

"Shadow Ezio Auditore, You tell me now what is going on. With your clothes and cape!"

He seemed a little surprised at this but just lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Shadow you better speak to me or you are not leaving this building!" I then say.

"Or what?!" He then said.

"You will not leave this building and I will personally make sure you tell me!" I then reply, "Now tell me what is going on."

"Fine you really want to know?!" He then asked.

"YES!" I shout back.

"Fine. But you're not going to like it. This is a special robe because I only wear it if I think I have a chance of dying! I only wear it because it is my death robe! And this cape is my ancestors'! It's the Auditore cape. And I said when I die I will wear it. Let's be honest their after me. And you lot wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for me! So I will lure her away and if the worst happens then it happens." Shadow then explains.

I couldn't help but begin to tear. He sounds defeated. He thinks he is going to die?!

"You cant die. Not tonight. Make sure you arrive back immediately. Just call the kill off tonight. And why should it be you that dies?!" I ask in a panicky rush.

"Because I am the one that has kept this business up. I'm the one who was born into it and also the one made for it. Goodbye babe. I will see you soon." He says.

And with that he kisses me then leaves for the front door of the building. I get my target folder and prepare for the kill. Bit I couldn't do it without tearing. Nor worrying.
