CHAPTER 21: Poison Ivy

"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your

enemies."

-Unknownymous

When I think I'm already better and cured, I decided to start my job as a Low rank. I was told that after a month of being a Low Rank, I was given a task to take my Assassin's training to be an official Full pledge under Wall Sina's provision.

And just like what we talk about, I was assigned to handle the department where Sean and the others are working. And I enjoyed being with them, for some reason. I feel like this time around, I can do more for them. That I could do almost everything, to protect my angels. To protect my family.

After another week or two, passed, and I could see the fear of the slaves disappearing from my presence. All the slaves I hold became my friends. We had lunch together at the same time and laughed which they were not allowed to do before when I was not an assassin there was no lunch given to them, only water to suppress their thirst while working so hard. Sometimes I even help them plow the land. We are also used to pretend that I also mistreated them when High Ranks were watching me, then we would laugh our ass out together when those High Rank's are not around.

One afternoon, while in the middle of work, while I was messing with the three idiots, I noticed someone getting close by. It was a High Rank coming up in our direction.

To my surprise, I panicked, and immediately grabbed Kurt who was the first person near me, and suddenly hit him on his head. I also saw the slaves were confused to see the upcoming events and decided to stay silent as they saw the High Rank.

This made Kurt want to hit me too and complained, but he chose to remain silent when he saw the upcoming High Rank.

"YOU'RE SLOW, LIKE A FUCKING TURTLE! HURRY UP THERE MAGGOTS!" I shouted at Kurt. Which made him frowned as he continued to plow.

When we saw in the distance that the High Rank we had seen looking out on us is gone, Kurt immediately struck me hard in the head. TSS! Jerk.

"What the- WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" I complain to Kurt who just stared at me with daggers.

"Your punch freaking hurt as fuck kiddo" he annoyingly said.

I scratch the back of my head which he hit while looking at him, trying to ease the pain from his hit.

"It's not my fault if you're the one near me! Like duuuuuh! I panic when I saw the High Rank approaching!" I also complain, which he answered with a smirk. This gay! Fuck!

"Yeah right! Whatever!" He dismissed me while rolling his eyes which made everyone around us laugh.

"Great job gay Kurt! Your hit feels like my mind is getting blown!" I annoyingly tease Kurt, who is now wrinkling his forehead so much.

"Gay? Did you just call me gay?" he asked annoyed.

"Oh? I didn't know, Gay Kurt is not just gay, but he's also a huge deaf! Nye nye!" I tease him more.

But that was a very wrong move, for he immediately grabbed me by my hand, and start tickling me.

Oh good lord! He's tickle feels so hard, it made me feel like I will die anytime from laughter.

"Now what? Am I still gay to you?" he asked smirking while still tickling me.

"N-no! P-please hahaha! Y-your straight!" I answered in between my laughter.

"Good," he said as he stops tickling me.

Oh damn! I could feel my body burning, he tickles me so hard, I could feel my face burning, adding on the hot daylight.

After lunch, I decided to go for a walk first, I also noticed that the three of them followed me, while Kurt had some more chicken, which is supposed to be my food. They almost consumed all of my food inside my bag.

Such greedy jerks! I can't believe I didn't get the chance to eat even a piece of my meat because of them!

"Just how long are you guys planning to follow me around? You guys are too obvious eh." I said, without facing them.

"Where are you going Rin?" Sean asked me, half running to equal my pace.

"Nowhere" I shortly answered, as I continue walking.

"Then we're coming with you," said Kurt, who is now on my side too like Sean.

Josh on the other hand remained silent, as he half runs too to equal our pace.

While walking, we came to a place that the three of us were unfamiliar with. It was a cave near our department's digging place. Inside of the cave was full of violet flowers which almost certainly shine and glitters in our eyes. They are so beautiful.

"Wooooaaaaahh! this is pretty cool" Kurt said in amazement, which made him stop biting the piece of meat in his hand.

I approached the flowers, which the three imitated. They love mimicking me eh! Sean picked up one, and was about to placed one of the flower behind my ear, as Josh immediately grabbed the flower and threw it away.

"Hey, Josh! What are you doing?" Sean complained annoyed to Josh, to which he replied with a frown.

"I should be the one asking you that Sean. What are 'you' doing?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm trying to put flowers behind Rin's ear! I'm sure it'll fit perfectly on her pretty face!" smiling Sean replied, obviously not knowing what he was doing.

"That would be very dangerous. It could kill her!" Josh insisted.

"What do you mean?" Sean then looked at me, asking.

The word confused is written all over his face.

Why are you asking me? I'm not the one who stops you didn't I?

"Those flowers are poisoned." my short answer, as I put one of my hands under my chin, thinking of possible reasons, why Dark Claws are planting this type of plant inside this cave.

"P-poison?" Sean stammered, which I just ignored.

"I wonder why they're keeping it here," I asked myself.

Then an idea came up with me for a good plan.

A plan to finally overthrow the Dark Claws...

Great job demons!

You just gave me a good way to put you in your own grave.
