Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 26: Trapped

       "Alfreed! Wake up!" My eyes fluttered open in annoyance because of someone who dared ruin my sleep. How dare her or him? Can't they see someone's sleeping?

       "What is it now Violet---- What the fvck?" I spat when I saw where we were and what situation we were in. I stood up immediately and looked around. We were in a white room, everything was white it was hurting my eyes.

       And I hated the place since, the smell of medicines and chemicals from who knows where wafted under my nose.

        I tried to walk on further to explore when I hit something and I yelped in pain as I jumped back and rubbed my head.

       "Careful Alfreed, there's an invisible barrier they set up there." Leo said and I grimaced.

       "You should've told me earlier." I mumbled under my breath as I rubbed my forehead.

       "Thank you." was Leo's snark response and I snarled as I looked outside.

         I could see nothing but white and a single metal door. Okay, I officially hate this place.

        I felt around myself and through my clothes but found out that my set of blades under my coat weren't present at all and I now turned to the others. Now I'm simply defenseless and unarmed, of course except for my abilities.

        So basically, Leo, Kevin, Violet, Rex, Cyan and the unconscious Harumi were here with me... but... where are the others? I hope they're fine.

        "We don't know." Rex stated as if reading my mind. I made a worried face when I remembered something.

       "Tell me I was dreaming that Harumi and I tried to kill Ryouta and Antoinette." I begged when a scene flashed in my mind. I could still remember it.

        That feeling that I didn't own my body and that I was only trapped inside, my body moving on it's own and fighting the people that were none other than my friends and comrades.

        The second ranker sighed as he tried to stand up only to fall back down again and the others rushed to him with worry on their faces.

      "Sorry to break it up to you but actually, you and Harumi were the reason we surrendered. They had you. Worse than that, Mikael was in the same state as you were and he stabbed Cyan." Leo informed and I took a sharp intake of breath.

       This can't be happening;. What the heck is even going on?!

       "Don't move too much brat. You're hurt.  Wait for Harumi to wake up and heal you before you decide to move around." Cyan spat and the second ranker glared at the latter.

        "Oh now I wish I hadn't healed you earlier. Damn it." The second ranker rambled and Cyan frowned.

        "Wait... If Mikaela was also captured, where is he?" I asked while Cyan helped the second ranker sit in a more comfortable position, his back leaning against the wall as he closed his eyes tiredly.

        "We don't know. The guts. They actually lured us out and we thought wrong. Their main objective then was capture Mikaela and turn him against us as their trump card." Violet said through clenched teeth as she paced around.

        "Why don't we just break out of here then?" I asked with my eyebrows knotted and they shook their heads. I mean, we can't just sit around here and do nothing knowing nothing of where they brought Mikaela right?

         "We underestimated the humans. We don't know how in Arsland they were able to create stuffs to suppress our powers. As of the moment, as long as that barrier is around us, we can't break out and as good as powerless." Cyan explained and I huffed as I turned to the invisible barrier they were talking about.
