68 Enemy Spotted (2/2)

Opening up the letter his mind fell blank

'Dear Dean

We hope to hold an emergency meeting within the usual spot at the forest. Please hurry'

He guessed that it was from either Ayesha, Pierre or Anne but felt troubled by the phrasing.

Such neat handwriting was unusual if this was written in a hurry but the main point that grabbed Dean's thoughts was more troubles.

It was similar to a void that just took and took without giving anything back.

The frustration was beginning to get him when he realized how weak he was compared to the teachers.

Throwing the letter into the bin, Dean ran out the door and ran all the way to the distant forest.

No one was walking around this time as it was beginning to get late however Dean was able to see a faint light within the forest.

Like an insect attracted to the light, Dean slowly passed shrubs and bushes in order to find the source that was emitting that light.

”Oh, you're finally here?”

Anne smiled and waved to Dean as he had just entered the clearing but Pierre showed a cold emotionless face.

”What's the emergency?”

Dean was curious why they specifically had to do the meeting here as the only reason they originally went to the forest was to make sure Christian wouldn't hear rumors about them.

”Pierre hold it carefully”

”I-I-”

”You've gone too far into the rabbit hole! What good is it to waste time?”

Sighing in a slight emotional distress, Pierre held up the bag Anne had been carrying and took it off to reveal what was inside.

Inside was Ayesha with bruises scattered along every inch of her body, cuts soaked with water and dirt; unnaturally bent body parts.

She was overall tortured into a disfigured person that was tied and gagged.

Dean was further surprised with this as he didn't understand why they were calling their theatrical play an 'emergency'.

The blood seemed really realistic as well as the mixtures that was used to create the tone of a bruise and the body parts that were sticking out in weird angles were probably done using a pill.

Unfortunately for him, Anne made sure to make the clearing in the forest a little larger to create the illusion that Dean was close to where they were despite being farther then normal.

This effect caused him to not notice they were serious with the injuries and they weren't fake.

Pierre held Ayesha by the hair and lifted her up while Anne took out a blade.

Dean frowned on the act as Anne's blade seemed too realistic for an act as he walked further to tell them to knock it off.

Out of pure sympathy, Pierre took out the gag of Ayesha so that she could speak a few words

”I-I really do-”

It was struggle to continue talking with the pain as well as the fact that her head was already off her body.
