Chapter 26 - Ch. 26

Sometime later, Sasuko decided to text Jewel and was relieved as she texted her back. Its true that she should have been back by now but something came up. Nothing that has to do with the mission but about Silver. It turned out that the gathering she made is just a false advertisement to just lurk the Mia's there. Jewel also stated that the other families that were invited found out shortly after she did.

Shaking her head, Sasuko informs her family about what Jewel discovered. Pakura and Creed were fully disgusted by how dirty Silver is playing.

"This is outrageous!!" Pakura exclaimed, shooting her husband a glare. "Why is your sister like this!?"

Giving her a confused look, Creed shrugs lightly. "I'm not entirely sure. Silver was never like this. She never held a grudge against anyone before."

"Whatever the case is, she needs to snap out of it!! Silver needs to realize that it is her own family she is harming. I would understand if it was with the Tsukino bloodline. I never liked that heir of theirs. Less when he tried forcing Sasuko to go out with him against her will!"

"Right.. So, is Jewel coming back home now?" Creed asked, turning his attention to his firstborn.

Sasuko shakes her head in response. She remains in silence for some seconds, before replying. "Jewel wants to stay away from here... She thinks if she stays near Silver, she'll be able to get more information while being careful."

"I see.." Creed replied while Pakura once again exclaimed at the same time: "Is she crazy!?"

Sasuko remains silent, silently feeling very anxious.

"Jewel is very near danger! I mean.. yes she will be helping out very well but what if she gets caught??" Pakura asked.

"I doubt Jewel is that careless." Creed replied.

"Fine fine." Pakura nodded her head a few times before walking away, technically dismissing the topic.

~ The rest of the day, the family did their best to ignore the dangers that lie ahead of them. They spend time with the twins and each other. A few friends came over for dinner, giving the family some more distraction. As night came, and the twins to sleeping peacefully in their cribs, they stayed outside at the backyard, enjoying the night breeze. Meanwhile, Silver's personal assassin found an opportunity to get their the family's mansion. Wondering around in it without anyone knowing, she finally reaches the room the twins were in...~

"My, what beautiful twins.." She said very quietly to herself, making sure to remain in the shadows and not get near the window where she would be clearly visible. "Don't worry my lovelies, your cousin and aunty will take good care of you. Who knows? Maybe you will be more happy with us--"

"You mean cousins, not "cousin."" Her brother said, cutting her off as he walks up by her side.

"Right.. What Zazu said." She said with a roll of her eyes. Gently, she picks up Sakura who moved slightly but didn't wake up.

"Well," Zazu started as he gently picks up Axel. "We should get going before anyone notices our presence, Akame."

"Yes, you think mother is really doing the right thing? This isn't like her." Akame stated.

"I don't know.. Even father left us because of her. Shade left with him.." Zazu sighs. "Let's just play along with you until we find out the cause of all of this. Who knows.. maybe it's due to us living so close to the Darkside."

"Yes, maybe.." Akame slowly walks up to the doorway and opens a portal. "Let's go." Without waiting for a reply, she walks into the portal, followed by Zazu.
