The discomfort that Etoile showed made her look shy in front of the other guests while Brad studied the couple. She hugged Bethel tighter to pass some of his mana to her and Arthur tried to use his gift to see what she could find in their auras.
-Really? Good that you have come, and that you like the decorations. In order for this pleasant occasion, we will ask you to continue advancing please- Brad pointed to the line of people behind the couple
They both looked at him with a smile, apologized and stepped aside to allow the others to say hello.
[Sony, keep your eye on that couple on that couple. Something is wrong, there is a strange and familiar smell mixed with blood on them. I don't know what it is but we will watch them]
[Oki Doki]
Sonia went to the tent of the other rabbits to give notice. Security was on alert and their plans began to move.
Lunch began and the chiefs of the regions showing their loyalty, sat closer to the central table and for foreigners there were more than 100 tables with 5 people in each to accommodate them. Everyone admired the girl who was wearing a white lolita dress with gold and red rabbit details, red ribbons with ear piercings, and plain designer rings.
It was a fun celebration where everyone enjoyed the varied shows. The gifts kept coming but would be opened before midnight when the coming of age ceremony began. Etoile was taken to change to dance while everyone continued eating and Sonia along with Arthur escorted her.
-This feels strange, that couple has not done anything yet to make us suspect. Sonia, it would be better if I made a mistake so as not to make them go through so much trouble- Etoile apologized
-I felt the scent of death around him. I wish some other dragon was here to help elucidate the annoying smell-
-Their auras are mixed. I could see that their future is black, it is cut after they leave here ... something very strong and dangerous surrounds them-
-They are going to die, if they have something to do with it ... I hope they die in the most painful way- Sonia put strength in her words and Bethel shone to show agreement with her mother
-Sonia enough! Last time, you did the same with the Trudys and they ended up dead - Arthur was already sick of dealing with his sister's power
Etoile was amazed at the macabre smile that Sonia showed, because every time she showed herself someone ended up in the arms of the grim reaper. They were finishing up and Arthur took her niece to put her in the scarf he was wearing, waiting for her sister to change her shoes to dance.
Suddenly a brown hare entered with a food cart for them to taste the chef's delicacies. Her excitement made them take some colorful macarons, without noticing that the waitress approached Etoile from behind.
A plate fell to the floor when they saw the waitress pointing a gun at Etoile's head.
-Hah! Close your mouth and hand over the egg if you want to see her alive ... Now !! -
-You are making a terrible mistake. Let Etoile go unless you wish to die- Arthur was about to press the alarm button in his pocket when a long black tail hit him
Both were perplexed to see that the tail was that of the hare that was looking at them urgently. The panic button fell to the ground and Sonia stepped on it quickly to alert security.
-Damn, you stupid! Good with the rabbit is enough. Bye!-
Security surrounded the place and everyone arrived and saw Etoile being held by a hare that pretended to be a waitress. A mist began to rise from her feet and the hare laughed at her next escape.
-God let go of her !!! -
-Let the girl go! Stop her!
The cries for help grew louder and the hare put Etoile in front of her to avoid being shot. Arthur noticed that with each step, their feet were disappearing and he made a hasty and dangerous decision.
-No! You're not taking her away! - Arthur jumped up and grabbed the hare's arm
-If you are stupid ... hahaha- between laughs, the weapon in his hands vanished with the wind and the free one disappeared into the air leaving behind a black mist that vanished in seconds
-Ahhh !! - Mama Rabbit fell on her knees to the floor
-Be..Betel !! - Sonia fainted when she realized that Arthur was carrying her daughter and her bag
Brad arrived just in time to catch her and keep her from falling to the ground. The commotion only caused panic among those present. A hare entered and took the white rabbit, the black dragon egg, and a relative of the Mcain.
But in the face of all that scene, what struck the most was not the fact that she took them away but how she did it. A hare used magic freely and teleported to who knows where.
-Mama! Aunt! - Rocket asked for a doctor when her relatives ended up fainting from the shock.
The agencies got down to work searching through the recordings to see if they could identify the hare he kidnapped right under their noses, something they were supposed to be jealously guarding.
Jodie was consoled by Yolandi that despite her already being aware of her kidnapping, she still did not leave her astonishment. The Mcain were in charge of transporting food and electronic preparation equipment at the request of the hares when they found out that someone wanted to take their oracle, it did not even cross their minds that he would end up jumping to protect Etoile. Now the matter became personal and serious as three important families were involved.
-How the fuck did they not realize? - Papa Rabbit was furious
-He passed the search without problems. She must have hidden the weapon she was carrying with magic ... but how did make a hare to use magic? !! - Uncle Rabbit did not understand what was happening
-That was not a hare ... I don't know what it was but it was able to camouflage itself as one- Brad arrived together with Sonia who had woken up, to the rabbit tent to tell them what she saw
-Her tail was black and furry at the tip like a lion but it was too long to block Arthur from a distance, too, for a moment her eyes turned yellow and slanted to brown again -
-Ehh? !! -
The discovery was incredible. No one expected such a thing to exist, they never heard of a shapeshifting creature. The mystery increased and they needed answers. The guests were held back to rule out that they had anything to do with it.
-Brad, that couple ... what do we do with them? - Morty awaited the decision of his brother-in-law
-Let them go. Without tests we cannot do anything to them, we will just wait to see how they will react when they leave here. Pass me the makeup case.-
Brad walked over to the concerned looking couple to talk to them.
-Oh my God! It's terrible. I'm so sorry for you Mr Fox.- the scorpion man was trying to comfort Brad
-If there is something in which we are useful, do not hesitate to let us know. We have a fleet of transport at your disposal if you need to move somewhere - the dog woman showed good will
-Thanks for your support. If I need them, they will know, because my daughter is my life and if she happens to something, the damned one who has will not see another day.
-It's good to hear that you cares about your family. Maybe you will find her soon.- the words that Brad heard seemed to mock his situation and he only took the dog woman by the head to caress her a little
-Oh..of course I'm going to find her. It's only a matter of time, Countess. They must fear the ides of March if they want to get out alive ...- Brad sent them a warning but only those around got the message
Everyone looked at the couple who was unmoving leaving the site.
-It´s done. Let everyone know that I am going to look for my family-
Brad flew away with the makeup case heading west.
"Fear the Ides of March!"
Lisa recommended him to Homer in the chapter where he joins the Stonecutters. The advice was born from the assassination of Julius Caesar in Ancient Rome, which occurred on March 15, 44 BC, a day on which good omens were usually given. He was summoned to a meet of the Senate to be held in Pompey's Curia despite being warned by a seer and his wife not to attend because he would die, he attended the same.
-Remember, Dad, glory is fleeting.
- No.
- Fear the Ides of March!
- No.
