"All teams return to home and take first position. I repeat, all teams return to home, now!" Cam yelled into his comms as they turned to head back outside, knowing they were about to be attacked. They barely reached the door before shouts were heard as Nikolai's men opened fire on the entrance of the castle.
"Fuck, Cameron! Head out front, I need to get Anna away from here!" Logan shouted out. Cameron nodded as he ran for the door with Jace, Leon, Celinia and Cail all following behind him.
Logan turned around, only to find Anna had already disappeared. "No!" he yelled out before running down the hall to find her. He turned into every passage and ran through every room trying to sense her, yet he felt nothing. It was as if her very essence had vanished completely.
He reached the back hall of the castle before he stopped short, and heard a very distinctive whistling sound. His eyes widened, "Rocket.." he whispered in realisation just before he dove forward to push two servants out of the way then ducked down as the back entrance was blown out behind them.
"Run!" he yelled out to them as he lifted himself out of the rubble and they scurried off to one of the castle's safe rooms. He took a deep breath as he calmly dusted himself off, already knowing exactly who was behind the blast.
Adriano knew most of the Royal Guard would be sent to the front of the castle the moment they attacked, which he used to their advantage in order to gain entry and locate Annalise. Nikolai grinned, "Good work, brother." he said as they ran out across the grounds.
Adriano lifted a brow, "Is that doubt I hear?"
"Oh plea-", the twins both stopped dead in their tracks as Logan slowly walked out of the rubble and stood before them with his hands behind his back, blocking their entry. His full silver eyes swirled with white streaks as his gold-tipped, pure white horns slowly grew out of his temples.
Nikolai's jaw ticked as he stared them down, "Demon."
He gave a sharp-toothed grin, "It's 'Your Highness' to you, General."
Nikolai narrowed his eyes at him and tightened his grip on his guns, "Save it. You have something of ours."
Logan tilted his head at him, "Oh? You mean your sister?"
Adriano growled low and raised his guns, "You knew who she was." he forced out.
He took a slow step towards them, "Well it's a little more complicated than that; but no, not at first. Although it might interest you to know that when she realised you two were still alive.. it had no effect on our relationship." he said with a forced smile.
Nikolai snapped then, "Fuck this." he said as they both stepped forward and opened fire on him.
Logan simply raised his hand and their bullets stopped dead in front of him before falling to the ground. He grinned at their shocked faces, "Did you really think that would work?"
Before they could respond, he waved his hand, throwing them off their feet and sending them flying back against their men behind them. He could easily have killed them by now, but his focus remained on his promise to Anna. He wouldn't hurt them, as long as he could keep her safe from their mindless attack.
Luke's car came screeching around the back of the castle then, before he got out and ran towards them. Hadrian followed close behind, surprising everyone with the thick vines that shot out of his hands, which he used as whips to catch and wrench back anyone who got near Luke.
"Logan, don't!!" he yelled out, catching his attention. He spun around and grabbed the arm of one of the soldiers reaching for him before throwing him over his shoulder. He effortlessly ducked and dived away from every attack, being able to predict every move just seconds before it happened.
