Chereads / The Dull Heart / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Now that they officially had five-thousand people in the rebellion, it was now time to start coming up with a plan of attack. Right now, there was seven people in the room. Rivin, Aki, Catriona, Athos, Blanca, Dante, and Leviathan. They have narrowed it down to two options. To sneak in and wait in town square while two people snuck into a government building and set off the alarm which would gather everyone into the town square where they would make a speech, or the second option, to storm into a government building, guns blazing and order them to set off the alarm.

Either way, it involves the alarm being set off and them making a speech in town square. Aki, Leviathan, and Blanca voted for sneaking in. Dante, Catriona, and Rivin voted for storming in. It was up to Athos, what they would end up doing. He had no clue. On one hand, he knew that sneaking in would be safer but there was also a chance that it wouldnt work because the people who snuck in might get caught.

On the other hand, if they just barrel in, its obviously riskier but it might catch the people in the building off guard and give them an advantage but the people in the Lavaterian government are known for setting traps, so if they take that option, they might be running straight into a trap.

If that happened, all this hard word would have been for nothing. Eventually, Athos made his decision. The seven of them would sneak into the town square, with the other five-thousand rebels in the woods waiting to storm in at a moments notice and have two people sneak into one of the buildings. Those two people would set off an alarm and when everyone has gathered in the square, the seven of them would make a big speech. They were going to train for about two months before they left to go back just in case this led to a war.

Every morning they would eat a healthy breakfast then they would work-out for three hours. In the evening, they would go swimming for an hour, then go running for twenty minutes, then stop for half an hour and rest, then they would resume their training and they would have boxing practice.

Two Months Later, they have been training for a long time now, at least two months, and theyre finally ready. They also finally figured out the perfect plan of attack and everyone has memorized it. After everyone is ready, they say goodbye to Oaken land, hoping that its not the last time that they see it, and then they set off. With this many people, it could take up to a month to get there.

Back in Lavatera, most of the people have forgot about the rebellion because they think that it was just a rumor. Even the people of the government think that it was just a rumor. They arent prepared at all for what about to happen or so the rebels thought.

One Month Later, they finally made it to Lavatera. They werent gonna risk getting caught so they were camping out in the woods near town square. They decided to send Catriona and Leviathan in to set off the alarm. Once they were inside the building, they started whispering to each other. Obviously talking about Aki.

So. Leviathanabout Aki Catriona purred.

Uhhwhat about her? Leviathan asked.

Do you like her? She blurted.

W-WellI think thatw-what I mean is he stuttered.

Say no more, say no more. I got it! She squeaked.

Oh, and you know what else? Catriona asked.

What?

I think Aki likes you.

Wait, really?!?

Yup! She always talks about you, and I saw her notebook. Your name is all over it.

"I didnt know that So, Aki Belinkov likes me

Yup.

Leviathan turned bright red. Catriona told Aki that she knew that Leviathan liked her, and she denied it. She claimed that he was just a friend. Catriona said that if Aki was so sure, she would ask him when they got inside the building. Catriona was right. Leviathan does like Aki.

Leviathan?

Yes?

I think that you should talk to her when we get back outside.

You think so?

Mhmm

Ight. I will.

Come on, we can talk about this later. We have to find the control room and sound the alarm.

Yeah, lets go!

And with that, they went back to searching for the control room. After about fifteen minutes, they found it. They had a walkie with them so that they could communicate with the others who were waiting patiently outside. Once they were in the control room, Leviathan took the walkie and began talking to Rivin, who had the other one.

Rivin, come in.

Im here.

Ok. So, we found the control room and Catriona is looking for the alarm button as we speak.

Good.

We surprisingly didnt have any issues either.

thats good.

I think it was mainly because they dont know that we are actually going through with the rebellion, so they didnt have any guards posted.

Probably. Oh, by the way, please make sure that you know exactly what a button does before you push it, otherwise, you could push the wrong button and get all of us killed. No pressure.

Leviathan chuckled nervously, Yeah, ya know that when someone says, No pressure, IT ADDS PRESSURE!

Oh hehe, sorry

Leviathan rolled his eyes, grinning, Yeah yeah whatever.

Leviathan! Catriona whispered.

Hang on, bro. Catriona called for me.

Alright.

Ill talk to you later.

Make sure to keep me posted as to whats going on.

Dont worry, I will.

Over and out.

Leviathan hooked the walkie on his belt and walked over to where Catriona was.

Well, did you find something?

Yes, I did. Its the button that sounds the alarm.

How do you know for sure?

Look! she whispered, pointing at a label above the button. It said, In case of emergency, push this.

Believe me now? She asked.

Yep.

Leviathan took the walkie and handed it to Catriona. She pushed the button.

This is Cat, come in.

Did you find it, babe? Rivin asked.

Yes. Were about to push it. Get ready.

Were ready, go ahead.

Alright, see you.

Catriona handed the walkie back to Leviathan.

Are you ready?

Born ready!

They grinned at each other, then Leviathan turned and slammed his palm onto the button. A very loud blaring noise rung out. Now comes the hardest part of their rebellion, and that was to convince the rest of the people in Lavatera to take a stand and fight for their rights. This is NOT going to be easy.

Leviathan and Catriona turned and fled as soon as the alarm went off. They had to get out of the building without getting caught. They were almost to the exit when suddenly, a huge group of guards appeared, almost out of nowhere. Leviathan immediately jumped in front of Catriona and drew his sword.

CATRIONA RUN! he screamed.

IM NOT LEAVING YOU!

YES, YOU ARE! GO NOW!

BUT-

NOW, AND IF IM NOT OUT WITHIN TEN MINUTES, TELL AKI THAT IM SORRY!

YOU CANT-

GO! he roared.
