Strings of Fate

3rd String: Leonel Cipher

I flinched. Just now, I was thinking of what Julius used to do. ( The mansion had restaurants and all kinds of shopping merchandises since the entire population of the Lithieum clan was there. So I don't think I'd be shocked if I ever entered a mall.) Guess I really miss him, huh... That can't be helped. He's my best friend after all...

"Yup! On three okay?" He started counting already, which made me position myself hastily. "And.. Three!!" We ran.

"You cheating jerk!" I shouted, but he just laughed it off. Unlike before, he had adjusted speed to  a somewhat faster one, like mine. When we stopped, almost every student was looking at us. I looked around.

The situation's making me really uncomfortable. Damn, I don't like standing out! Especially if I'm wearing only my pajamas!

"Leonel, can we..." I stopped since he looked so tense. After a second or so, he continued for me.

"RUN!!!" And we did.His speed was even faster than before so I had to adjust mine.

"What's up with you?" I asked, irritated.

He suddenly stopped. "Sorry, I just hate being the center of attention..." He took deep breaths and knocked on the door on my side.

The door suddenly flew open, and a familiar face appeared before us.

My eyes automatically widened just as fast as the other person's eyes did.

"Uncle JR?!"

Third Person

Meanwhile, a man in a black coat stood at the rooftop of a building in his newly made territory. A city where he ran for the position of mayor, and won, just so his clan could manage the city, and make it their very own food factory.

"Sire, what do you think of this place? Isnt it wonderful?" A boy wearing a hoodie said.

The man nodded in acceptance and smiled. "This will be a very good house for the new Government," he said and turned to look at his generals.

"Geo, Randall, and Darwin, good work. I commend your efforts, even if they made us not even an inch nearer to our true goal, for this little step, would be a part of the Purification. The world will soon be in our-- the Varvakeion's-- hands," he said. The three generals snickered and one of them, Randall, spoke:

"Of course, mi'lord," he held his head low. "We--the Varvakeions, shall be the ruler of the world, for we are the descendants of Zeus, himself."

"Yeah, right, Randall. Descendants of Zeus, my ass," Darwin laughed. "More like the descendants of Hades. We kill, eat, and turn humans into wild beasts that devour everyone, even their own kind," he smirked.

"Well, that might be true," the man in a black coat said. "But it's all for their own good. Or our God's good, rather. Oh, but it serves a higher purpose:... Revenge."

The three generals joined their king as he laughed, for the humans were roaming the city, running and screaming in fear and agony. "Gregory's troop seems to have commenced their operation already, King Icarus," Geo, the most silent of the threw generals, said.

"What was the name of their operation again, Geo?" Darwin asked.

"Operation: Fun."

Randall shook his head in amusement. "Trust Gregory to come up with stupid and idiotic operation names."

Darwin laughed. "Seriously, dude, that's the lamest thing I've ever heard. Who would name an operation 'fun' anyway? It's not even close to their true purpose." He scoffed, but grinned again. He licked his lips, feeling his fangs, "But for once, I agree with Gregory's choice of words. Killing people and making them suffer is fun."

A/N: Guys, this isn't edited. Although I hope you enjoyed this chap. :) There, two major figures in the Greek mythology have been mentioned.

BTW, if there was a tarpoline word last chap it was supposed to be trampoline. Blame the autocorrect feature of my phone. —_—

Thank you for reading! :D
