Intertwine (Strings of Fate) Chap. 54

"I know the orders Yokoshida, can't that wait? They don't know about us, after they closed themselves from the world they knew. I want to play those more to gain more. You know that I needed him to expand my company and his an asset to me. When I don't need him anymore that's the time I will dispose of him, them." Mr. Collins answered.

"I guessed I need to wait, but not that longer Collins. The Sky needs the result sooner or later. And don't make us wait any longer. Execute the plan. Kill the Klein family as soon as possible steal the key, Collins" The revelation was a shock on my part. We didn't know that Mr. Collins was all part of the Insignia and the one who will eliminate us all. He was just hiding his identity all along form all of us. And we are just pawns playing on his hands. Before they find me eavesdropping, I made myself out of the secret room. As soon as I went out, I went back to the hall where the party is going on. I walk, as I do not know anything about what I heard earlier. Shortly after that, Mr. Collins appeared for the closing of the party. We went to the parking lot to get our car, and then suddenly I have the urge to confess to them.

"Appa, do you trust Mr. Collins?" I asked Appa.

"Why are you asking me that, of course I trust him, with my life." Appa answered.

"What if his not the person you believe he is?"

"Are you talking ill of him, Silver?"

"What if he is here because he wants to kill us!?" I raised my voice.

"Stop this nonsense Silver. How did you suspect Mr. Collins' someone like that?"

"I saw him talking with a suspicious man dressed in black, and I followed them."

"What!? Why did you do that, Silver.?"

"Silver, what are you talking about?" Umma looked at me with consoling eyes.

"But I heard them talking, umma." Appa looked at me with weird look.

"Silver, whatever happens don't talk about it ever again. Got that Silver?" I just nodded in agreement. I thought I made the right decision. However, I believe the opposite. 

"Sinner, do you believe me?"

"Of course, Silver, why shouldn't I, you're my sister."

"Komowo, Sinner" With so much happiness I jump unto him and embrace him from the back.

"Hey, Silver you're heavy."

"Yah! Sinner you're a meanie!" I got off from embracing him and sat at the top of the bed with legs crossed, while Sinner was busy working with our homework.

"Say, Silver if what you said was true, we are in great danger." The atmosphere suddenly become so thick with tension by the situation we were in.

"What do you suggest we do, Sinner?" I asked.

"If that's will be the case, I should be the one who will protect you." I got off on top of the bed and sat down at the floor, hugging my knees, while he swirled his chair to me face in his sitting position.

"Sinner, I'm not a child anymore, I can protect myself."

"I know, your strong, but that's not enough Silver. Our real enemy is a lot stronger from what we think they are."

"But, I will grow stronger and one day I will be the one who will protect you, Sinner." Sinner chuckled at my statement.

"I will wait for that, but for now let me be the one who protect." Sinner turned around and reaches for the drawer in his desk. He grabbed something and gave it to me.

"What is this Sinner?" Sinner smiled a little and cleared his throat before talking.

"This is what appa gave to me, but I will give it to you. He said it was a device, but it was very dangerous." I looked at the key-shaped white gold pendant.

"Why are you giving me this Sinner if it is dangerous?"

"It will come in handy. So that I know you are safe when I gave that to you."

"What's the big deal? This thing can save me?"

"Well, probably, but you can keep it."

"But why did appa giving you this if it is dangerous?"

"You will know soon enough maybe." I can sense there is something wrong with him. Why is he encouraging me so much? Is there something that I don't even know?

"Hey, Sinner, is there something that I should know?" His face become dim and worried, I knew this would come to this.

"You trust me right?" I nodded in agreement.

"Then you should trust everything I said to you, okay?"

"Yeah, okay." I thought that this night would be passing fast than I expected. I can't even sleep, why is my heart pounding so hard? I felt that I'm losing something big right at the moment. But what is that important thing?

"Sinner, are you asleep yet?" I whisper to Sinner.

"Not yet, Silver, what is it?" He said without opening his eyes.

"I'm scared, I don't know why, but I'm worried."

"What do you mean by that Silver?" He moves a little pulling the comforter into his chest.

"I don't know, but, something bad is going to happen, I can feel it." He slowly opened his eyes and sat in the bed staring at me.

"You're just a bit tired maybe Silver, don't worry it would be gone away, I'm sure of it. So sleep now." His words give assurance to me and that lifted something heavy in my chest. My eyes slowly drew heavy when he give me a kiss on my forehead. But that dream doesn't end happily, the nightmare begins and never end. I was awaked by a big commotion downstairs and seconds after that, came sounds of bullets.
