The Gifted

Code

"Guys! I think i know the code!"

Azure exclaims, everyone rushes to the living room as he sat down on the floor, staring at them

"Nice one, south"

Enzo then puts his hand towards azure's face for a high five, only to receive a teasing slap from the younger, they laughed seeing how taken aback he is

''So i tried analyzing them and i found some weird roman numerals from the corners of the frames"

He then starts pointing them out one by one

"Two..four...seven..nine"

All of them looked at each other, maybe that's thwe code?

'"I don't think they'll just randomly give us the code so easily?"

Ash says feeling quite uneasy with the sudden code azure found

"Right, we don't even know what will happen if we type the wrong code-"

"Once you type the wrong code you'll have to try again after twenty nine days"

The speaker turns on with an eerie sound making them flinch

"Are you fucking serious right now?"

Sheon exclaims, running his hand through his hair he walked out of the room. Haze then follows after him to calm him down, things aren't looking good for the teams as their escape is slowly becoming difficult the more they try

''Rules are ru-"

"Fuck your rules, you really don't want us to leave don't you?"

"Correct, clyde. That's the whole point of everyone's abduction"

Azure places the frame he is holding down in defeat, how can someone be this heartless?

"Shouldn't we at least try? I mea-"

"Are you fucking deaf, yhuan? Didn't you hear what that woman said?"

Yhuan scoffs feeling offended with the way enzo replied to him

"Enzo.."

Reign warns him, he snickers before sitting down on the sofa, feeling more irritated then ever

"Should we risk-"

"Code entered is wrong, try again after twenty nine days"

All of their eyes widen upon hearing that, their attention divert towards the front door, a big wooden door. Jared stood there confused, he scratched his head as he tried to reach out to type again

"What the fuck, jared?"

All of them flinched upon the sound of a gunshot, enzo shot the front door. Jared froze as he was too close to the bullet, luckily it didn't hit him

"Don't even move a muscle, jared"

Enzo walks up to him as he holds his collar, pushing him against the wall

"What? Is it wrong to tr-"

"Let go"

Iris stands in between the two, she held enzo's wrist tightly, it feels like it could end up with a bruise

"Okay, okay, i will"

She unwraps her fingers from his wrist as he drags jared towards saint

"What do we do now?"

This is the first time iris talked to saint, he remains silent thinking of a way to beat this creator who seems to be ahead of them

"Let's take a rest for now, i'll think of something and let's have a meeting tomorrow"

Everyone agreed, all of them left the living room and went to their respective rooms where they sleep in. Their whole day was just all about bickering and walking around then cracking the code but turns out it's not the code. Their second day ended with frustration written on their faces, they are eager to leave this mansion as quickly as possible to prevent anymore fights between the two teams who are supposed to be in good terms
