Chapter 30 - Forgotten Truth

~Arcin was pulled out of the water coughing violently looking kinda like a drenched rat. She was in her early teens and was on a job with her team. The person that pulled her out of the water after she fell from a bridge was the medic of her team Taja. A young teen who was originally from the german branch of the clan but was brought here when she was young by Arcin's father to be Arcin's friend after the incident when she was younger.

"Arc you got to be more careful you almost drowned."

"Sorry Taja, hitting the water knocked me out for a moment. That damn bustard stabbed me too. It frickin hurts, I think they laced their blade with poison."

"What? Damn it."

"I'm alright I've built up immunity to the known poisons of the world. But what of the others?"

"Erica is making her way over here. Julius and Dominick are currently distracting the enemy."

"The moment that Erica get's here call them down. I managed to snatch the info when he stabbed me and I still got the other stuff we grabbed."

"Got it but right now let's focus on your injuries."

Taja was the team's medic a master of daggers and fluent in the use of guns. She was a very important member of Arcin's team and also a friend of Arcin's since childhood. The two are in a very 'playful' close relationship. "Boss! Are you alright. You took a heavy hit up on the bridge."

"I'm alright Erica. Provide cover fire for the boy's to allow them a chance for a clean escape."

Erica was the teams sniper at this time she was a fairly recent addition to the general childhood 4 some that mainly consisted of the team. Erica who had begun to final started to fit in with team at this point as getting used to their antics and the like. "I'll need your help Boss there is a fair number of them that I wouldn't be able to hold off by myself." Erica stated, Arcin let out a sigh looking at Taja.

"Give me a moment to finished wrapping the wound than you can." Taja sighed as she begun to wrap the stab wound as Arcin begun to set up her sniper. The bandage was tied tight to Arcin's chest. "Alright this should hold don't go too crazy and go over and fight just snipe."

"I got it Taja nothing crazy for a few days. When we get back to base I'll let you stitch it up." Arcin replied standing up with a sniper in had. Erica and Arcin went over to a building roof top and the moment they were away from Taja Arcin aimed her gun at Erica. "You've been with us for a few months now do you think I wouldn't know your capabilities. I'm the heir of the Lynch clan for a reason." Arcin paused looking at Erica. "So tell me who is it that planted you my step mother or the Harlend family that have been holding my 'rescue' over their head, or one of the many snakes the Lynch clan has wishing to poison me."

"W-w-what are you talking about."

"Your stuttering Erica. You are an atrocious lier especially when shocked. I've studied you for months. Ahaha! You don't even realize this hole thing was a trap for you in the first place."

"B-b-but you got stabbed!"

"A small sacrifice for the greater good."

Erica clicked her tongue pulling out a syringe and charged at Arcin stabbing it into her pushing the plunger down. Erica looked pleased like she won but Arcin smirked. "Oh too bad I built up a resistance to that drug the Harlend's made about a year before you came. I know how to counter act it."

"HOW?! The Drug is perfect no one has become resistant to it! It is perfect you should be act my mercy and control."

"Right you wouldn't know this…. but well the leaders of the Lynch clan are not really human's. We are immortals with human appearance. I'm restively young hence why the drug worked at first but once I finally break those damn chains father gave me the right to deal with the Harlend's for messing with my mind as they saw fit." Arcin whispered in Erica's ear. "'But I'm only resistant if I'm emotionally vulnerable the drug works as intended. But as if I would tell this girl such a weakness. They don't even realize the drug does not fully work on my anymore. Once I finally clear the fog they've made in my mind I'll take them down. I don't care if others of that family are not involved. What they've made is too dangerous and they've abused it.'" Arcin thought glaring at Erica as she kicked them back and ripped the syringe out of her arm. tossing it to the ground.

Arcin put her fingers in her mouth and whistled and with that her team members Julius, Dominick, Taja, and the people they were fighting earlier appeared around them. "Grab her. We are going to have get a taste of her own medicine. Hahaha, and turn her our side." Arcin laughed with an evil grin.

"W-wha-what are you doing stop stop stop!"

"Julius! Dominick you can't also be in on this. You got to believe me Arcin's just crazy! She's fooling you all!"

"Shut it traitor! We know everything about you Erica or should I say Cece Duren."

"Ho-how?! No wait! Arcin is tricking you! You must think that she's human! She not like us! An Immortal! One of those horrid beings! You want the Lynch clan to be lead by such a being that is lower than us."

"Dear Cece you don't realize. These people are both my closest confidants and that of my father they are well aware that we are immortals and have taken some of our blood to become stronger. Its something not even the council nows not like you'll ever get a chance to tell them since this is the last day of Cece Duren's life." Arcin paused then smiled enjoying the distraught look on the traitors face. "Also I guess since what I plan to do to you I may as well reveal the truth to you. What you think happened to your family is a lie made up by the Harlend's and my step mother to make you there perfect pawn they used that drug to alter your memories permanently. The Harlend's killed your family not my father of the clan that we run. All of it orchestrated buy them and my step mother."

"You lie! They are helping me get vengeance for us both, after you destroyed us."

"Hahaha! Destroyed them have we how cute! They are greedy human's who don't know there place wanting something that they can not get. A cult of some kind great at manipulation. After all it was my step mother that destroyed my life. She set up that kidnapping from so long ago with the Harlend's help." Arcin growled stepping out as she pulled out a syringe filled of clear liquid.

Arcin could she Cece's eye shake clearly a wreak causing Arcin to smile as she plunged the two syringe's into her first the drug then a drug that would force her to lose full consciousness. "Good-bye Cece. You from this point on will truly be Erica Adol an ally of mine that spy on the internal enemy for me." Arcin purred with a dark voice as she watched as Cece's eyes closed.

"Alright let's take her to the lab. I got some work to do."~

Arcin forced herself out of the water gasping as the sudden forgotten memory surfaced. Her hand trembling and she took deep breaths. 'They've truly done a number or my memories… if that memory is right we knew what was going on. I think it was when my father got murder that they were able to that control again and manipulate me. I guess Derrick did helped in the end away. No I can't go soft. They've messed with my mind so much I can not forgive them for everything they've done.' Arcin growled as she slammed her fist against the side of the tub.
