Silmarillion: A Distant Future

Chapter Thirty-One

Feanor groaned as he moved out of the cot that was set up in the workroom. He had been working hard on a few things that they wanted for months. He was getting close to being finished but the more and more he worked on it the more and more his anger towards them grew. They treated him like dirt and Kakau always took time to express his clear haterade towards him and the Valar. Yet, it was something more, deeper than lack of respect that struck him harder. Their haterade towards him and the other Valar made him realize his own emotions about the way of the world. He began hating himself just as much as he hated those who were making him work.

He moved to the desk that was scattered with electronic bits and pieces along with a lot of metal parts. He also had a laptop open connected to a larger monitor. He ran a hand through his disheveled hair and started to work again. He heard a laugh from behind him as the door opened, he turned his head and narrowed his eyes glaring at the leader of this group.

"Well good morning," He said calmly.

"What do you want?" Feanor replied coldly.

"To talk to you seems yesterday you and Kakau got into a bit of a disagreement." He said noting the slight bruising that Feanor got on his face. Feanor turned his head away looking back to his work.

"He and I disagreed about my work," Feanor replied.

"Of course. Come with me," He replied calmly. "Now."

Feanor clenched his fists and stood up and started to follow him. Outside the room, Kakau started to follow both of them down the hallway. Feanor looked behind him at Kakau and then back tat their boss. They continued down the hall and then into an elevator that needed a keycard, Kakau used his card and they went in. They went down to a lower floor and their boss led them down the hall and stopped outside a room that had a guard posted there.

"Before we go in, know this," He said turning to face Feanor. "The Silmarils aren't the only thing we can use against you. We do have one more which I was saving for a time like this."

He opened the door and led them inside and Feanor stopped short. Sitting with his legs to his chest was Caranthir. Kakau grabbed him and held him in place, placing a hand over his mouth. Caranthir looked over and stood up. "Atar?" he asked in shock.

Feanor struggled as their boss stepped over and suddenly pulled out a gun and shot Caranthir in the shoulder causing him to fall to the floor holding his arm. Caranthir cursed as Feanor was released and went to his son's side. The boss stared down at him with eyes slightly narrowed as he said, "You will respect Kakau's orders. You are almost done with your work and have those worthless stones, now as I warned you I will not take your attitude. So, speak back to anyone one of us again your son will be killed instantly. Understand?"

"Yes," Feanor replied through gritted teeth. Feanor watched as he turned away and speak a few quiet words to Kakau before leaving the room. Kakau walked over and said, "Okay. Feanor get back to work, someone will come in here and take care of your son's wound."

Feanor opened his mouth but caught himself and shut it. He looked at Caranthir and put a hand to his unharmed shoulder and gave it a light squeeze before he stood up and left the room. His hand was clenched as he was lead down the hall and as they walked down the hall. A woman with short blond hair and glasses passed them.

"Dr. Blackwell," Kakau said nodding to her causing her to stop. "It's his shoulder,"

"I am quite aware of what his wound is. I know our bosses game," she replied changing hands with a bag she carried so to adjust her glasses. She then looked at Feanor and smiled tightly. She then looked back to Kakau and said, "I have work to do. When you can I have something to show you."

"Of course," He said. "I have to take care of this one though,"

"I know and I have my own things to do." She said and headed to the door walking calmly. Kakau smiled and shook his head. He then gestured Feanor to follow him back to his work station.

Kakau stepped out of Feanor's workroom leaving two guards there. He headed down the hall and after a few moments he found Emily writing on some papers in her office.

"Well?" Kakau asked as he walked over.

"This," She replied holding a small closed briefcase. "I finished it."

"You did?" He asked his eyes widening. "Do they work fully?"

"I should get an answer next week if they do or not. They are being used in a test run," she replied.

"I will tell our boss. He would be very happy to hear this," He said.

"I know and with Feanor almost being finished we are one step closer to our revenge," she said. "So, how about after we tell our boss we have a drink to celebrate."

"Of course." He replied as he offered her his arm. She gave a slight eye roll and she took her glasses off and put them on the desk. She stood up and took his arm and left the office with him. They were getting even closer. Their plan was almost complete.

In just a few weeks their revenge will be done. It will be over.
