Fear reigns supreme (Part 1)

Aaron stealthily made his way to where Tessiana is.

Arriving at where his mother is, he saw four 'security guards' standing in front of his mother.

His mother was leaning on a tree, he could see her bleeding from her shoulder and abdomen.

"Mrs Blood, how many times we have to say it? Give up struggling, we will give you a painless death and a quick death." One of the security guard holding a gun on hand was threatening Tessiana.

*thuff*

Tessiana scowling at the guard, spit on him.

The guard wiping the spit from his clothes, visibly angry at Tessiana for her action took a few steps forward standing directly in front of her, kicked her bleeding shoulder.

Aaron who watched the scene from the back snapped seeing her mother getting kicked on her wounded shoulder.

Aaron raised his left hand aiming at two of the guards gently pressed the crown on his watch and shot two poison needle on the back of their neck.

*shhooot* *sttiiilk*

Then he quickly took out the gun from his coat taking aim at the 'guard' standing behind the person who kicked Tessiana.

*thooosh*

A loud sound of a gunshot was heard, startling Tessiana, the 'guard' who kicked her and the two poisoned 'guards.

[A/N: even with a suppressor/silencer the sound of a gunshot is still loud. The suppressor/silencer just suppress the loud bang a bit. That is why when Tessiana was shot at the party no one heard the sound of any gunshot since it was away from the party and the sound was suppressed by the suppressor/silencer by a lot.]

The 'security guards' swiftly turned around, seeing someone holding a gun they were about to shoot but they were too slow compared to the person in front of them.

*bang* (x5)

Shooting multiple times at the person who kicked her mother, he stared at the remaining two 'guards' who were about to shoot him but suddenly dropped the gun and plopped down on to the ground.

They were paralysed by the poison and couldn't move.

Aaron, confirming that the two 'guards' are completely paralysed, ran towards his mother and knelt down beside her.

Tessiana was stupified to see Aaron here, but she was more shocked to see Aaron her son killing people without batting an eye.

Aaron, the way he was shooting and handling the gun, his stance and marksmanship everything was so natural like he has been practising for a long time or has trained in combat for years.

Not only that, but Aaron was also radiating this murderous bloodlust aura which a 12-year-old should not have.

The amount of killing intent that Aaron has? There's no way someone could attain that much bloodlust violent aura without killing.

She was afraid, not because of what she has seen just now but afraid to learn what her son might have gone through to become like this.

Aaron was trembling nonstop, tears started to trickle down his cheeks.

Tessiana was covered in dirt and blood, her hair was dishevelled and there were many bruises and cuts on her body.

She was bleeding from her right shoulder and abdomen.

"Mom!!!" Aaron called out to Tessiana, he was too worried and afraid of what to do.

He was clearly not thinking straight.

He was crying and calling Tessiana over and over saying they need to go to the hospital.

Tessiana watching her panic-stricken son unable to think properly, thought that she needs to calm Aaron down first before doing anything.

She grabbed hold of his hands and pulled him into her embrace.

"It's okay honey, I'm fine. I'm gonna be fine. Calm down, okay? It's okay, I'm fine." Assuring her son that she will be fine. Tessiana was trying to calm down Aaron.

He slowly calms down and said to her.

"We need to get out of here, you need immediate medical treatment mum. Can you get up and walk?"

Hearing Aaron, she nods and tries to move but the pain from her abdomen almost made her scream.

Using Aaron as support, she got up carefully but it was hard for her to walk.

Her mind was a bit dizzy and her whole body was aching. The pain from both her gunshot wounds was too much for her but she endured it.

It was the damn pain from both her gunshot wounds keeping her conscious.

Otherwise, she would have fainted long ago.

Watching his mother in pain, Aaron's heart twinged in pain for her mother.

He looked around and saw the two 'guards' who were paralysed from the poison.

Aaron's blood raged staring at the two remaining 'guards'.

He aimed the gun to their head and shot them dead.

*bang* (x2)

Tessiana startled by the gunshot looked at Aaron who was staring at the two remaining people that mysteriously plopped down on to the ground before.

"Aaron?" Tessiana called out to her son.

"They were only paralysed before, not dead, but now they are dead." Aaron said staring at the dead bodies of the guards, Tessiana detected a tinge of anger in his voice.

Sighing, she mentally made a note to talk to Aaron later about all this.

"Help me walk and do you have your phone with you?" Tessiana said to Aaron.

Aaron went around checking up the dead bodies, picked up a gun and few magazines and walked back to Tessiana.

Taking out his phone, from his pocket and giving it to his mother.

He stood directly beside his mother and helped her walk.

Tessiana holding on to Aaron carefully started walking to get out of here.

Aaron saw his mother calling someone.

When the call went through, she said "Code orange and red, all of the guards are wolves. Code brown, hostage and Death Parade." Then ended the call.

Aaron stiffened up hearing her mother say 'Death Parade'.

Was it the same Death Parade? Aaron thought.

Tessiana after ending the call gave the phone back to Aaron and told him.

"We have to get out of here quick. Where's your sister?" Tessiana asked Aaron, She was worried about her daughter's safety. This seemingly harmless Christmas party is way too dangerous, they need to get out of here ASAP.

"Aurora went to help dad." Aaron replied.

Hearing Aaron, Tessiana was furious.

She knows, where her husband went to.

Hearing that Aurora went to help Aiden she almost lost it.

Tessiana saw how Aaron saved her.

It was nothing much, he caught the 'guards' by surprise and killed them with a gun and there were only 4 of them here.

How did he manage to find a gun she doesn't know but she guessed, Aaron might have used some trickery or something to knock out one of the guards and managed to get a gun.

But Aurora, going to save Aiden is like suicide for a 12-year-old girl.

Aaron, understanding what his mother might be thinking tried to assure her.

"Don't worry about Aurora, mum. She will be fine, trust me."

She was quite sceptical about it but in the end, decided to trust Aaron.

Tessiana shook her head in annoyance, she needs immediate treatment or she will die from blood loss.

She has lost too much blood.

Holding onto Aaron, Tessiana enduring the pain from her wounds started walking once more.

Soon, Tessiana and Aaron carefully and stealthily made it outside the mansion.

The party was still going on, all the guests were laughing and talking, enjoying the party unaware that they are in danger.

Soon the laughing will stop and there will be nothing to enjoy.

Only despair and fear will reign supreme tonight in this party.
