Scarlet Rose

"Hurry! Get him in the car!" I heard people shout as I hold my wound and stood up from the ground

I ran into the forest with my gun in hand. "Damn, my wound"

I ripped my clothes and tied it tightly. I heard footsteps from behind the tree

Three in front with a gun. There's two in the van. I looked closely in what's inside and there I saw a woman handcuffed as she gave off a murderous aura.

"There's that woman but where the hell is the person I'm looking for."

"Hey! He's behind the tree!" I heard one of them shout as he keeps shooting nonstop

Great.

Once again I ran and lost them. Hurriedly I climb a tree and hid behind the branches. Eying them and observing their movement was the first thing I had to do and after a minute I realized that they're just amateurs.

Bit by bit I waited for them to separate. Slowly climbing down the tree and "bang! Bang!"

I shoot causing the two to fall down dead. Quickly, changing position and waited for the others to come and see what happened. One from the van came while the other was shaking and just the same I shot

"So the only one's left is the guy guarding the van huh"

I loaded my gun once more and went back to the road where the van was waiting. The guy wasn't paying attention at all making it easy for me to corner him but as I raise my gun at his head he fell on the ground dead

"Whats the meaning of this?" I heard a woman from behind, the same person that was cuffed just a while ago

"Thats my question, you easily got out of the cuffs on your hand a feet and yet you waited for me to get shot and do all the work" I said to her as I hid back my weapon and went in the van and observed what's inside

"I did kill the last person tho. Anyway that's not I'm asking" she sat down on the ground and leaned on the car

"If your asking what's happening I also don't know" I answered as I went to my car and took out my phone

"The person you are trying to call is out of area please try your call later"

Great, his not answering

"Hey Rosette Clive... No... I mean East King... how'd you get caught by some amateurs?" I asked as I eyed her. She was covered in wounds and its obvious that it didn't come from the people that tried to capture me

"You can just call me Rose just like you used to and as for how I got here... well let's just say that I allowed myself to get caught and try to know where they're taking me."

"Still reckless as ever I see. Though I think I should be going"

"If your looking for him then I'm sorry to say but I heard those guys talking to their boss on the phone a while ago, saying that someone attacked him and they're bringing him back to their HQ"

"Then the more to chase after them, it's only been an hour after the attack and I might be able to caught up with them If I go now"

I heard her sigh and stood up as she blocks my way "You don't get it do you. That bombed car over there that looks like his was just a setup to get you to stop at this location. Not only that but if you didn't notice the whole thing that happened just a while ago was obviously a plan they made just to get us two to meet once again"

"How can you he so sure besides we'd still be seeing each other at the meeting earlier if it wasn't for this incident why would they let us see each other for a hour earlier?"

"I don't know but it's still my hunch and you know my hunch never goes wrong. Why don't you calm down. Right now you won't be able to think properly if you're moving in haste."

Clicking my tongue I turned my back at her and went into my car. I start the engine and it won't start, it won't even make a sound. Again and again I tried until Rosette knocked on my windshield, I rolled it down and looked at her "What do you want?"

"I knew you wouldn't listen to me so while you were in the forest I shot the engine of your car" smiling she walked away making my jaw drop an inch

I sat frozen trying to analyse what she said and when reality hit I rushed out of my car and quickly looked at the engine

"My.. my Maybach! What on earth are you thinking! My Maybach!"

"Stop that. It's just a car sides you've got like a whole lot of it right?"

Furiously, I turned my head at her and there she was giving off an irritating mature smile

"Would I get angry if its just another car! This Maybach was given by my Brother you idiot! You damn well know how I f*cking treasure this from way back when you were still with us!"

I put my finger into my temple and slowly calm down.

"Sorry I didn't know that it was the same car " she apologized

I ignored her and went to the car and looked at the engine "damn it really got shot."

While going out I heard several engine coming our way. We took out our weapon and stayed alert. They stopped in front of us and I immediately noticed the emblem on each of their clothes. It was the West and just behind them is one of my men and Rosette's

"Sir!" He greeted me and the other did the same to his Queen

"I see that the West accepted our invitation in forming the alliance. So what's going on?"

Just then a man from the West stepped forward "I believe you two must be the South and East King. We're here to report by the instructions of my King, Aldrich"

I glanced at my men and he just nodded as he stood behind me like a guard

Not waiting for our response he continued "While we were on our way for the meeting we received a call from one of the North saying that they were raided and needed aid. When we interfered we were unable to capture a hostage."

"And how did that happen? I don't remember my men being weak and unable to protect themselves" Rosette cut in while giving a glare on her men

"Unfortunately those who raided them got a hold of Reviel, Aster's son and Sean Gabriel, Hazle's child causing them to back down. There wasn't any damage to the child's condition but Reviel was immediately brought to the hospital for he was beaten half to death, we still haven't receive massage on how his condition is."

"What about the North what happened to them?"

I asked and saw him show a confused look for a second "is there something wrong with what I said?"

"No, nothing at all I just thought that both of you will yell like mad men when you heard what happened to your men, guess you just don't care about them" his voice wasn't mocking but it still got me angry

"You don't know how I rule so shut your trap. Getting angry at a sudden news like that won't get me anywhere so just answer my questions"

He just nodded and continued "the North could've escape but they would be risking the lives of those two so they also backed down"

"Well that's a surprise why the hell would the North care about others but their own men?" Rosette asked as she leaned on the car

"You should ask that to them, I don't know why.... now that you mentioned the North where is the North King?"

"We're about to find out. Let's get back to the meeting place. The West King should be there and counting us two there'll be Three Kings. With that the conditions in forming the alliance would be valid"

We started to go in their car and just as I hopped in I remembered one important thing.

"Oh and Jake carry my Maybach back to the HQ AND. BE. CARE FULL. WITH. IT. UNDERSTAND"

Shaking, he nodded feverishly "Sir!"

"Lets go then"
