"I'm so hungry. What's the time again?"

"It's past 9 o'clock already. Where are the others? They should be here right now."

"It's either they're dead or still hunting some scums."

"You eat, I'll call Boss."

*sigh.* I hope it will work. Let's wait for a while. After thirty minutes, everything went silent. I peeped and saw them sleeping soundly while Blades is trying to unlock the shackles with a pin.

"Shit!" I saw her tears and sweat rolling down her cheeks. The wounds on her palms is giving her a hard time to move her fingers.

I appeared infront of her giving a sign to keep silent. She nods and waited for me removing the keys from one of the men.

*click!* I successfully unlocked her and she run towards a pile of ropes. "I'll do it." I gave her the keys to unlock the cage and I tied the men's wrists towards their backs one by one. When the others are released, they helped us tie the rest while I dress Blades' bleeding palms.

"What should we do with them now?" One of them asked.

"Let's burn them alive."

"No, set up a bomb."

"Let's just run."

"No, they'll escape."

I glimpsed at Blades thinking deeply. "Care to share your thoughts, Blades?"

"Stone them to death." She said with cold eyes.

"Yeah! Brutal! Look what they have done to her!" Everyone agreed at her but all I can respond is a shake of my head.

"I put them to sleep, not poison them. Come on, think of a better way." The real thing is, I don't want to see such nightmare. These people are still young, the trauma will only get worse and I don't know what will they become when they get older.

"I changed my mind. Let's throw them to the cliff." Blades suggested again and everyone agreed with her. She passed over me with cold eyes. "You should have poisoned them. Now, they'll have to watch and contribute to a crime before they graduate."

"Blades-"

"They are asleep when they will be killed. That is a crime. It will appear that they are martyrs. Let's take them before they wake up. We'll lose the chance to protect the others." She continued to walked to the exit with no hesitation.

"Hays. Whatever." I couldn't understand her so I just shook my head again. She's so confusing.

We carried the prisoners and the dead bodies of our fellows and Blades lead us to the cliffs. We released the bodies of the Arcanes and went to the direction of the camp.

On our way, there's a battle that surprised us. Marky and the others are clashing with some Arcanes. No wonder why it took them so long to arrive. There were dead bodies of Arcanes on the ground and maybe one or two from Barblood. Marky's group is probably winning but they're wounded.
