the wolf that walks amongst the herd

alright so this is a pet project that's just needs good criticism buy good criticism I mean that type that's a little bit Moline to the malicious level my idea came from lots of lucid dreaming when I was a younger child so I gathered all the memories or everything that I could find and created a character based off of it and then through so many obstacles at him that he just decided to do with what he can

When they were all bickering in that house they all came to the conclusion of Jasmine's location, which was "the place where it all began" from what they were saying it was the school that most of them attended Michael seemed very out of time with the resort of them as he would  distance himself from the rest of them, it could've been that he wasn't truly at grip with the death of his best friend, Mikania who just lost her son was holding it together,from what I picked up from personality, is that she doesn't like to show weakness, Karma felt calms as if she knew this was going to happen it was amazing how she kept her composure, Cidny kept throwing in the "what if's" for every plan they all tried to come up with, but her words carried so much guilt, as she and the rest of them were founding members of alpha century. Jasmine will be located in a bunker under the abandoned school, before I got on the bike Kelly came from the house saying "I'm coming with you" me seeing that there is no point in arguing with her because thattle be just wasted time let's her come along,she grips me how Nina would whenever she would ride with me. On arrival Kelly tells me that she'll handle Nina (no!) She then gets of the bike and sees the group of drones and takes a machine out of the bike, which was a surprise to me as that when my helmet scanned this bike no firearms popped up on my HUD, my HUD has message from Nina it reads {meet  me behind the old activities building} a trail for me to follow shows up on my HUD, on my way there I ready myself for the inevitable which is my fight against her, to my surprise she is tied up against a post, immediately I rush to her checking her wounds it looks as if she's been beaten as well as whipped, my hands stutter as I move them to her shoulder, before that happens the feeling of someone watching me overwhelms me as I quickly turn, then without a second later three round go into my one in my leg then one in each shoulder, except instead of collapsing I stand tall, then a round pass through my hip blood stars coming out of my mouth using the post that Nina's on I keep my balance while my hands untie her, taking another round in the back caused me to lose my balance but my hands kept trying to untie Nina, suddenly there was someone behind me, they pull my body off the post as my hands finally finished tying Nina. They drag my body away from Nina my hands tear at the ground trying to reach for her, after they move my body a fair distance from her they pull my hair to lift me up, to my surprise it was Isla she then punched me consecutively until a voice from a distance said "enough"  Isla then makes me face the direction of the voice and it Jasmine she is carrying a pistol, she puts it in my mouth saying "you're a failure and a reminder of a past long forgotten, you're just like him in every it disgust me, he who pranced around like he was the Messiah of death, making women fawn over his abilities, even… even candyce 'my husband' yes let's not forget Kotegawa loved him more than anything, Candyce gave him her heart, he never even realized it 'and my husband gave his life for him' and you, you were the Magnum opus Candyce's divine plan to create someone who could take the wolf's place so he could finally live in peace" Jasmine then takes the pistol out my mouth giving me time to breath (I… have… one question "might as well it's not like you'll live after this, what is it" Isla why 'she promised me a way to be back with my husband a restart' a restart... how… a simulation "yes one where she can…" Isla you betrayed me and your squad for a fucking progressive life Sim 'yes and I'd do it again' you fucking cunt I trusted you, you were a mother to me, I wouldve given my life for you, I killed for you, you were the mother I always wanted "tuff shit kid she worked with me this whole time you were my property...Isla are you crying") suddenly there was nothing but silence as a blade went through Jasmine chest, a enemy bigger than anyone I've ever encountered killed so anticlimactically, almost makes be shot, stabbed, and beaten worth it as Jasmine body falls to the ground the person that stabbed her appears, they're wearing a wolf mask, Isla drop me instantly, she then walks to them, she hugs them while taking there wolf mask off, it's an old man with white hair with also a burn scar, she then kisses him as he then plunges his blade into her. Slowly he lets her body fall to the ground as he closes her eyes, leaving his blade in her he then takes a syringe out from what appears to be his satchel, then come to me and stabs me with it "there you go kiddo" he says while picking me up, nearby there is a wall where he places himself as well as me up against it he then begins to talk to me "how you doing son (amazing) well that good… my name is Kotegawa and I'm your father I guess (weren't you killed in a bombing ?)well yes and no then again yes, what happened is that after the shooting and the bombing were finished my body was whisked away to where Candyce was and she told me all about this idea she had, the idea was to make a clone to take Huntley's place in this hectic society, because the world needed someone like him (so you created me?) Well… yes… but it's because we saw Huntley stray from that path of… how do you say it… were all wolves here, so let's say he strayed from the hunt (how did that happen, well he uhh he met a girl who gave him something he never thought he could have I guess (you guess ? Hahahahaha I swear to God that is the most cliche shit I've ever heard) who are you to criticize me (technically I am your son) fair point" we then laughed at our own stupidity, me actually laughing at the fact that me being a clone was the factor of someone finding love, which is what parents tell their kid when they ask where they came from. Also it's funny that the person that carries my affection is sixty feet away from me and unconscious (this is stupid "I know" why did this happen "love is a powerful thing, it's crazy, beautiful, scary I mean very scary, but sometime a long the way people lose sight what love truly is like Jasmine thought she loved Candyce but instead it was the idea that she loved" you can't get anything for free can you "well maybe" maybe ? Hm you wanna know something that I find funny "I'm all ears" people hate and love all the time, depending on what you hate you can be ridiculed, also depending on what you love you can also be ridiculed… love and hate are the exact same thing "well no and yes" in the end is there a difference "it's all a matter of perspective, quick question for you" something for me oh joy  "do you love what you hate, and do you hate what you love" yes with a passion "so self confliction is an outlet for you" you could say that "you are my son…" are you crying. "What did you expect I love my son" well I'm a clone of your son whose was killed by an old lover who is only a couple miles away "oh Cidny she was a nice girl" yeah she was "alright enough of this sappy shit, the reason I'm here was not to save you but to re shap you" what do you mean by that "I'm going to erase you memories of alpha century" no "you have no say in this" why "because I made a promise to Isla, that if we ever met it was to reshape into the person the person you were supposed to be" when did you do this "you didn't exist this was for Huntley, I did when we first met at this academy all those years ago, but I failed, so this time I want it to be different" so your going to make thing right with me no it's your own fault for failing your promise "it's either that or I let you die here" but Nina, Kelly, Mike "oh Kelly will go with you everywhere" why "because the one that Huntley loved was a girl named Kelly" I'm not Huntley "yes you are, denying it will only make it worse" fuck!! Shit!!! Fine! But can you write something to Nina for me "of course") denying Kotegawa proposal will only make it harder on Nina, maybe just maybe we'll find each other again. Kotegawa said that the memories of Huntley Adams were also planted within me using a neural chip planted within my brain, he was going to use that erase my memory,after patching me up he helped me carry Nina to the house on Goliath no one knew who Kotegawa was except Cidny as she gave him a hug, they spoke for a little bit before I told everything that Kotegawa told me to everyone they all opposed except for Cidny, Karma and Mikkia they all said that this is what Huntley would've wanted Michael said that this will happen again someday or somehow. After hearing everyone's opinions Kotegawa whispers in my ear "James huntely Adams"

"Dante!" Again Kelly calls for me before school starts, it's become routine for me to get two hours of sleep every night then to wake up take my father's watch that's near his picture frame then put on my school uniform to get breakfast from Kelly Gabriel Carver as she is always ready before me, she not related to me in any shape or form, she has always been there for me ever since we were kids,also ever since we were kids my father would always be away on business. She had basically been the only family I've ever had, her parents died in shooting, not to long ago so her being around me has been a type of therapy for her. She knows about my job, and my father job as well, for some reason it doesn't bother her that me and him created a co-op that consist of both me and him hunting down the corrupt and killing them. We call ourselves the wolves that walk amongst the herd, for some odd reason we relate ourselves to animals even though we uses knives guns and our fists to get the job done. Sometime during my routine Kelly would kiss me on the cheek as I put on her shoes, but today she asked me "can you kiss me" she never really asks for anything and when she does it's either something that's been acting at her,or it's out of pure pressured. When indulging her though it feels familiar in a way that my mind can't truly comprehend, all that passes through my mind is the me holding a girl who looks exactly like Kelly except she has scratches on her face and there is blood coming from her mouth, I try to not let it phase me. After we leave the house it's a walk to our academy which is known as Carpe Diem academy, it's the second largest academy in the world, though it has suffered some changes due to the fact that it had to move locations because of bombing that happened two decades ago my knowledge of that time is not very vast, maybe because of my laziness, when walking out the door Kelly reminds me "what about kylie" Kylie is a cat we adopted after during one of my favorite walks she put herself in front of my sight and Kelly broke my index finger thinking that my first instinct would be to shoot her, after that day she became our household pet she eventually started to hide in my back and come to school with me and Kelly, also the last time we left her alone she messed with my collar helmet and turned it on so from then on we take her to school with us, while there she'd play around campus, no one was really bothered by it, our dream who was a really good friend to my father Cidny Adams applauds the idea. As we are heading to school, me and Kelly talk about nonchalant topics she likes talking about anime, because it makes her feel closer to "my work" she says, because it's a handful of everything just plunged into you. Sometimes she doesn't understand that this work that I do makes me feel closer to something I can't really explain. We usually don't discuss it but there is this shine in Kelly's eye whenever she asks me about it while walking someone bumps into Kelly I quickly reached for Kelly and grabbed her before she fell to the ground the young girl fell in front of us dropping some random school items one of them being a sexton which is something that our school makes a scary getting a better look at her she seems to be from our school but to my knowledge I've never seen her quickly I use my smart glasses to cross-reference your face nothing really does pop up but her last name does her last name is Adams first name Cleo, which made me ask immediately (sorry for that "no it's my fault no need to apologise" your uniform ? "Oh is it dirty ?" No 'um no what my friend is saying it looks a lot like ours' yes "oh") the girl then told us her name was Cleo Adams she is the daughter of the headmaster but she's been away studying abroad in the Americas I'm looking at her she is very beautiful brunette hair and very stand out figure it's as if she's carried more than her weight on her shoulders it's impressive Kelly and her talked about her studying abroad as we all walk to school Kylie then immediately jumps out of my bag jumping onto my shoulders and curling herself around my neck for some reason looking at this is like looking at a picture and this picture framed into my memories until the day I die but something about Cleo's name stabs at me says if my memory is clouded can't faintly figured what it is about her that is bothering me, technically from what Cleo and Kelly are talking about Cleo has been in the school for a couple months now even though I just enrolled last year due to the fact being that an operation that my father and myself conducted in America let us to go away for awhile we threaten the president of the United States who was actually very well dignified woman but through her idiocy and clauses of fighting for the people she lost sight of who the people really were the people are everything and sometimes there are nothing nothing being that they don't care and then sometimes they do but in that nothing there were those who faltered, those who faltered saw the actual values of life but the president's didn't see the value and so her nothing turned into something against her. When arriving at school me and Kelly's first instinct is to go to the music room for some reason me and her feel at place there so we bring Cleo long but something was off about the music room this time it was as if there was someone other than ice in there when looking at the piano the image of someone appears to be sitting and playing piano she is playing someone when looking at her the name Monika flows through my lips immediately after I collapse the ground with the image of a shadowy wolf telling me that my life is a lie and the lies beautiful lies something that you must carry on as if you falter those around you will die waking up immediately 5 minutes after Kelly looks as if she's in tears but she's never cried before cleo me being of just met me is in tears she said something along the lines of "I thought we lost you again" Kelly then picks me up and takes me to the medical facility located in the academy in there I just lie down contemplating my own thoughts which is dangerous nowadays because yesterday Kelly and I talked about what love means now having no experience in that matter my mind didn't know what to make of it she said that she read one time that to love others you must love yourself now for some reason one eye it comes to myself there's no love there, there's so much disgust in what I do because society could never accept the work that I do they never will because it's a type of initiative that some people do not have the will to do, the will to fight against the darkness that shades over the light that was the first time Kelly slap me, it felt nostalgic in a way because images girls I've never met before started passing by as I looked back at her. In my contemplative thought Kelly is falling asleep at my bedside she looks as if she's happy sometimes it's hard for her to express feelings other than laughter and enjoyment sure some people might find that happy but to her it's just an outlet. Instead I move our bodies and trade places so that I can leave and go to class on my way to class the same thing that happened this morning to Kelly happen to me I ran into another individual now something strange happened my mind started fluttering and going through everything that I've ever done all the people I've killed all the people I've saved and in all those images my face is grinning as if it was smiling which to my knowledge I actually did enjoy the fact of separating the pain that live within my enemies sometimes in fear my enemies would say the wolf is coming the wolf is coming not truly understanding what that meant somebody once called me pop so I just thought it was their way of analytically looking at my animalistic nature, though there was an image image of a girl it wasn't Kelly, it was someone different this girl would always appear in my dreams she had long beautiful blond hair and aquafina eyes in my dreams one time she and I went on one of my famous walks but in this dream my body was in younger shape it was as if I was 17 again she held my hand as we made our way through building full of people just shooting at us randomly we both carry pistols me firing with my left, because I'm left-handed and her with her right it was strange this feeling was very intoxicating, but in the end she looked at me and she was angry, she was very angry she would then force me to plunge a knife into her chest and say the phrase "I'd rather die than leave you". To my surprise the girl that was knocked down by me, from just walking The Halls was blond and had awkwafina eyes she looked at me as if she's seen a ghost to my knowledge we've never met just like Cleo, Cleo felt so comfortable with Kelly as if they've known each other for years this girl stammered her way up to a posture that looked more than adequate she brushed off her clothes mumbling some random words why do I find this cute she then looked straight into my eyes saying "white hair? interesting" she didn't pulled my hair and pulled our lips closer together connecting instantly this feeling it felt so nostalgic, warm, very cliche one name popped in my head only one name (nina ?)
