The Heirs

ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ 30

The class is almost over and everyone's main topic is still the queen and the king. It was everywhere in social media and had been trending worldwide.

Politics and military guards had also arrived there around lunch time.

But they were all near the admin office which had been redesigned to serve as the private chambers for the two royalties. And all the students were not allowed to go in the area.

Right after class, everyone were strictly told to return to their dorms and to not go out. They were also accompanied by guards to make sure everyone will obey.

It was making it more hard for the group and they keep trying to come up with another plan. Since Jairo died, Wan had moved in to their room so Cullen would not feel devastated at the sudden emptiness.

Around midnight…

Everyone is still awake thanks to anxiousness. Steel who sits near the window stood up when he hear a strange tapping. And it wasn't just any simple tapping.

It was a morse code. He listened carefully until he mutters the answer…

"Here." He said and walked to the window.  The others watched thinking he just wants to go to the balcony.

When Steel opened the window, he turned to his left and flinched seeing a man who wore an all black to make himself blend in the dark.

Everyone stood up and hurried to him, giving the same reaction when they saw the man hanging by the railings of the balcony.

"The queen sent for me. She wishes to see you all and your friends. Your lady friends are already on their way there. Do not worry. We have secured a path." The man said with a husky voice and started rapelling down.

They didn't even know how the man managed to go up there unnoticed. 

"What if it's a trap?" Steel asks as they all doubtedly stood up there.

Cullen quickly pulled up his phone and called Jamie. She answered right away.

"Where are you?"

"We're on our way to the tree house."

"What?! Did you actually believe a stranger?! It could be a trap!"

"It's not. A king's guard saw us and the man with us knocked him out. I don't even know if he killed him because he told us to go first." 

The boys exchanged looks at each other after hearing what Jamie said. Then Wan looked down and saw the man waiting for them while warily watching his sourroundings.

"If this is a trap I'm breaking up with you." Cullen growls and ended the call right away.

"Okay. Steel Denvers dies first." Steel huffs and started going down through the rope without hesitation. Quite surprising the other four.

It took them about ten minutes at least until everyone got down. They waited for the man to hide the rope from plain sight before they were guided to the forest.

The girls on the other hand had finally arrived below the tree house. They could see a faint light coming from inside, indicating that someone is up there.

"She's waiting." The man who was with them earlier suddenly appeared out of nowhere making all the girls to flinch and their flashlights shoved to his face.

The man looked away and blocked the light with his hand. But still not enough to cover his entire face which was covered with blood splatters.

So he killed them.
Luna thought and turned to look at Monina's reaction.
