Chapter 6: A Double Spy? Lives At Risk (part 1 out of 3)

Third person's POV

Destiny and violet worked with their friends while Casey "supervised" certain people. Casey eavesdropped at the girls below while he leaned on the balcony on the second floor. "So where are the others?" Violet asked. "In the passage of the east side in the base." Destiny said. "Don't worry, we have five minutes until the meeting. I'm positive that everything will be fine." Destiny gave a reassuring smile and Violet nodded. They both left as Casey turned into a Dark-Blood, camouflaging into any color and following them.

Destiny and Violet looked around, thinking that no one was watching them. Destiny covered the small keypad on the wall and pressed a few numbers, opening a circular door and they went in. Casey quickly followed them before the door closed. He flew to the ceiling and crawled upside down like a spider as he was witnessing ten people in the passage.
"Do everyone have their backpacks?" Darius checked and nodded at a girl with dark green hair. "When are we going with Alue?" A ten year old boy asked. Violet smiled at the boy and said, "We will all go when Skull contacts me and gives the signal. Don't worry, Adam."
Casey then tuned out everyone's voices and thought to himself. 'My god,' he was shocked. 'I can take a hint what Astoroth is planning to do.' He closed his eyes and shook his head. 'In four more days, I have to take action. But I also have to be careful... I don't want to be reckless and make the situation risky. How do I tell Astoroth about this without him killing these guys...? Tough, if you want to be stupid, you have to be smart to act like one...' He then tuned in to the voices below him.
"But what about Astoroth?" Darius raised an eyebrow. "Um, Adam? I doubt that we will get caught. We should make it to Alue, wherever she is." The dark green haired girl looked puzzled. "What's the matter, Lila?" Violet asked. "What if Astoroth finds out? We have enough time for four days, now. But that's also enough time for him to find out. What do we do when that happens?" Darius looked at Destiny and Violet. "She has a point." Destiny tried to think of something. But it seemed tough to persevere that problem. Violet didn't have the best idea, but she tried. "Maybe we can leave one by one to Alue?" Darius thought about it. "I wasn't expecting that, but it 'might' work..." Violet nodded. "But who is leaving first?" Adam raised his hand. "Can I go?" Darius raised an eyebrow. "But you're leaving with me, little guy." Destiny asked, "Tomorrow night?" Adam and Darius nodded.
'Not half bad for an idea, but the Violet could improve.' Casey shrugged, who was still on the ceiling.
"Ok, I suggest that we go back to our rooms before anyone suspects anything." Lila stood from her seat and put her backpack in a hidden shelf, and so did the others except Adam. Casey mentally scoffed to himself. 'Lila, honey, Astoroth already has been suspecting. Good thing you guys can't read my mind. Otherwise, I would be thrown at a volcano during a ritual vengeance dance.' Casey tried to not laugh at the thought and tried to think of something else. Then the others left and Casey followed. He then went behind a pillar and formed back into a human, heading to Astoroth's office.

"Come in!" Astoroth yelled while he typed on his laptop. Casey stepped in his office. Astoroth smirked. "So...have any news for me?" Casey nodded and mentally gulped. 'I hope I don't screw this up...' "Yes, sir. But it's not much." Astoroth made a peculiar look in his cold silver streaked green eyes. "What do you mean 'it's not much'?" Case remained with a poker face. "I know you're not patient, but hear me out. I have observed them, and it seems like they're plotting something." Astoroth's reaction was...complexed? It was always hard to read his emotions. "Sounds like something. Keep spying on them, I'd like to know." Casey nodded. "Right, sir..." He left Astoroth's office and went to his room, thinking of how to expose involved people and convincing Astoroth to not torture them at the same time. This will not be an easy task to plan...

--With Alue--
Alue was with Tony in her room. She was thinking how to get Violet and the others with her. "When is Skull giving the signal?" She asked. Tony shrugged. "Whenever you're ready." She nodded, but felt that something wasn't right. "We have to create at least four backup plans. You can't be too careful for something to happen." Tony had a anxious look on his face. "You're right, Alue. Crap! I should have never told my sister about the frame plan. Now, I involved people in this situation, and who knows what will-" he was interrupted by Alue. "Tony, calm down." She wrapped her left arm over Tony's shoulders. "This is a good and bad thing." She gave Tony a motherly smile while he tilted his head; puzzled. Alue kept explaining. "The bad thing is, you don't know what will happen and who will take the risk. But the good thing about this is, you told the truth." Tony nodded, trying to calm down. "If it wasn't for you, Tony, Astoroth would be the dictator by now. There is still time to think, but we have to act." Tony kept quiet when Alue stood. "It's getting late. You should sleep. We'll see what we can do tomorrow, ok?" Tony nodded and saw Alue shut the door and wrapped himself in the cotton blankets...
"How are we doing, Darkangel?" Alue smirked while Jake hugged her. "Not so good. I have a bad feeling about this situation." Jake pouted and sat on the table crisscrossed in front of Alue. "Why?" Alue shrugged. "I don't know. I've been having a terrible vision in my sleep..." Jake put his forehead against Alue's forehead. "If you want to talk about it, I'm all ears." Alue smiled. "Thanks, Jake. But I need to make plans. And, it's funny..." She backed up. Jake smiled and twitched his wolf ears. "What is?" Alue crossed her arms and chuckled. "How you told me you liked me a week ago." Jake blushed. "Um, one; I don't 'like' you, I love you. Two; it wasn't easy to confront it to you. Three; have you known all these seven years we've known each other and you tortured me like this?" Alue leaned against the table, looking at Jake in the eyes. "No, I knew two years ago. And honestly, I've liked you a lot since a year ago. I still do." She smiled, but her smiled faded when Jake lowered his head, looking blankly at the table. "So...you don't love me?" Alue shook her head and smiled, hugging Jake and nuzzled against his left shoulder. "Well, lets just say I'm very picky when I like/love someone and don't give my heart so easily to anyone." Jake smirked. "So I still have a chance." Alue chuckled while she stared at Jake's icy blue eyes. "Don't get too ahead of yourself, wolf man." Jake stared at her golden fire eyes as he grinned like an idiot. "I think I'm ahead of my feelings for you, Alue." Alue rolled her eyes and tried not to laugh while biting her lip. "You're so cheesy, Jake." Jake ruffled his hair in a shy way. "But I make you laugh?" Alue shrugged. "True. Now lets get to sleep. It's late..."
