Chapter 12 - Assassin?

At the same time back at home, Elle was relaxing in a bath.

"Hmmm, hopefully I gave Scar the right coordinates. Though my 6 always looks like a 5." She shook her head with a snort but then she paused.

"I couldn't have actually given her the wrong coordinates, right?"

****

Back to Scarlett

She stood in shock looking at the people in front of her. Before she could get a good look at there faces or even break out of her bafflement, one of the people rushed to attack her.

*swish*

The person was too fast. All she saw was a after image before she felt the presence of someone closing in on her.

Almost reflexively, a teleportation stone appeared in her hand. Before the person could reach her, she crushed the stone and teleported away.

With a whoosh, she disappeared. Where she stood, the ground was burnt by what look like the remnants of a flame attack.

On the other side of the pond a childlike voice rang out.

"Damn,*huff*, is that person crazy. Really attacking a child, that bastard don't let me ca-"

Patting her chest the silver haired girl raised her head and was cutoff mid sentence.

"Damn"

Huffing in anger, Scarlett realized that she only teleported a couple meters to the other side of the pond because she didn't write any coordinates on the stone.

Not wanting to stay in the same area with those child abusing people, Scarlett took out another stone and changed the coordinates.

*whoosh*

Just like that she was gone again.

The young man with Fiery red hair, who first attacked Scarlett turned around to look at his friends with a strange expression.

"She teleported?", he asked in disbelief. To think an assassin who was sent to attack them just up and teleported away. Well at least he thought that person was an assassin. Rethinking it, that person had a small stature and almost looked to be a child?

"Was that really an assassin?", he asked aloud with a foolish expression.

Another young man, around the same age as the fiery haired young man , with the same red hair looking a lot like twins spoke, "Well….we never said it was an assassin in the first place."

"Yeah, James is right Jack, you just attacked", a high spirited voice sounded out of the mouth of a brown haired and green eyes young man.

Flustered, Jack responded, "Oh just shut up Noah. This place should have been closed off. What else could she have been but an assassin."

"She looked like a child."

A slightly annoyed voice rang out beside the pond. Another young man with blond hair and striking blue eyes was crouched over a soaked black coat. With narrowed eyes he lifted the coat. The others all looked over at him with curiosity thinking the same thing.

'A child? How did a child get in here?'

It had to be known that only descendents from the big families or the royal family of Orion could know the location and get into this cultivation ground. They ruled out that possibility because they new all the descendants from those families. As they were descendants themselves So the only possibility left was that she was an assassin.

But then why didn't she attack them?

The young man holding Scarlett's coat chuckled.

"Poor girl, you scared her away and made her leave her coat Jack."

Jack felt a little guilty after hearing Oliver's comment. Scratching the back of his head he said,

"Well..then if we happen to meet her again I'll apologize."

Behind the group of young man say another one. With pitch black hair and silver eyes, he was undoubtedly the most handsome of the group. Though they were all very handsome. He spoke with his could voice,

"Don't forget what we're here for. We don't have time to be bothering about pointless things."

A cold child ran down everyone's backs as the young man spoke.

Clearing his throat Noah spoke out.

"Damien's right everyone the Genesis is about to begin. We all have to be prepared."

Nodding his head in agreement, Oliver added, "We only have ten days left to prepare. More people will be coming and from the looks of it that little girl might have used a teleportation stone and wrote down the wrong coordinates. Maybe she is also here for the Genesis?"

James laughed a little,

"Oliver how could that little girl be here for the Genesis?"

"Again, it doesn't concern us."

Damien's cold voice rang out once again, preventing any more Scarlett talk.
