Chereads / Angeli Caeci / Chapter 6 - “Pretender”

Chapter 6 - “Pretender”

The three looked at the new arrival, a woman of a tall stature looking towards them, her hand on her hip as she formed a spear in her hand, twirling it around before bringing it underneath Reece's chin, pushing it up.

"You're the one who woke me.. I'd typically punish you, though I require your assistance.."

Reece pushed the spear away, taking a step back as she pointed at the woman frantically, growling as she yelled.

"You're the slut beind l of this!? Screw you, jerk! Why would I help you? We already beat you..!"

She let out a giggle, slowly forming into a laugh to Reece's reply, walking past the three with elegance as she patred Reece's head on the way.

"You truly believe that my power is limited to that mere knight..? I am the strongest to recide in this world, Dear.."

A familiar face came running towards the group, waving his arm through the air as he yelled out. It appears Die has returned from the dead.

"Heyyy!!! Guys!!! I finally caught up with you!!!"

The woman viewed Die's appearance as a chance to prove herself, pointing her palm towards him, as in a flash millions of bullets formed, filling Die with holes.

"Napalm."

Die bursted into flames internally, his insides burnt to a crisp before the flames aere even visible on the outside, his voice filled with agony as the three watched in shock.

"Tis' is a mere fraction of my power…"

She faced the trio, her hands clasping behind her back, as she gave them a warm smile, her sharp eyes flaring to them.

"I am Chronos, the next ruler."

Bennett decided to man up for once, walking up to the woman, Chronos, with his fist raised in front of him, Reece watching in belief that he'd screw up.

"Listen up! I don't know who you think you are, but Morell's gonna be the next ruler, you tried to kill me for gods sake!"

Chronos looked down at Bennett with disintrest weitten on her face, letting out a sigh as she leaned down, giving him a seductive look and grin.

"Y'know.. boys who follow orders get reqards..~ Won't you help me become queen..?"

She giggled, Bennett freezing in place, thoughts rushing through his head, though he was quickly bonked in the dome by Reece, followed by a kick to the nuts.

"Quit being a pervert and stop thinking with your dick, dumbass..!"

She stomped on Bennett, before turning her attention to Chronos, getting close up and hardhly poking her in the chess as she let out a long rant.

Saturn watched the others bitter, letting out a sigh as this was getting nowhere, letting out a loud shout to get their attention.

"We're going nowhere with this encounter.. How about we all find Morell, and then see who the better Ruler is…"

Reece sighed, calming down as she nodded, placing her hands on her hips, Chronos stopping as well as she nodded.

"Ah.. You're so smart. That's a great idea.. let's do that then, shall we..?"

Reece lifted Bennett back up, still in pain from the nutshot as Reece dragged him by his collar. Reece nodded to Saturn's plan, continuing her travels through the streets, Reece seemingly annoyed by Chronos' presence.

"Ah.. It's quite the enjoyment, taking a dimple stroll with my soon to be servants.. Splendid..!"

Chronos acted quite cheerfully, well still keeping the demeanour of a mature adult, Reece on the other side feeling very agressive, kicking a stack of boxes well walking by, the four all startled as they stopped to a sudden peep.

"Ouch.."

Kafka pushed the box off of herself, fixing her hair as she then looked towards the others, her eyes widening as she made a surprised face, her hands raising as she saw Reece.

"O-Oh..! Reece, it's you!… You look.. great..! Who are your new friends..?"

Kafka chuckled nervously, feeling Reece's cold glare, the others confused as she suddenly pounced towards Kafka, gripping her by the neck and slamminf her against the wall..

"Eek..! Ah, wait..! Y-You're looking for Morell, correct..!? Shes not too far gone, I'll help you find her just don't kill me..!"

She waved her hands around frantically, Reece stopping herself from demolishing Kafka, as she threw her back into her wheelchair.

"How do I know this isn't another trick? Eh.. not that you can pull anything, cripple.."

She suddenly grabbed Kafka's wheelchair, pushingher with it outside, tilting it over the edge of the sidewalk, right above the river. Kafka continued flailing her arms around, whining with fair written on her face.

"Quit your yapping and tell me where Morell went before my fingers slip..!!!"

Kafka struggled around, her life on the line as she waiked about, her hand shaky as she pointed to her left, repeatedly pointing in that dkrection agressively to gain Reece's attention.

Once an answer ws gained, Reece threw Kafka, and her wheelchair back on the road, the chair knocked over as she crawled towards it.

"That's rather harsh, hothead.. Here, let me help…"

Chronos leaned down, flipping the wheelchair upright, assisting Kafka back on it, as she nodded, smiling to Chronos.

"Thank you.. Ple-"

Kafka was interrupted, Reece already stomping away into the direction told, the others obviously having to follow before Kafka could finish her sentence.

"Oh.. Hmph.."

Kafka crossed her arms, watching them all walk away, before wheeling herself back inside the garage.

"That dumb bitch.. Should've just dropped her in the river.. How's she there anyways, Morell wouldn't have helped her, right…?"

Reece muttered to herself, stomping angrily as the others watched in concern, Saturn placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Oi.. What do you have against that lady so badly..? Who is she..?"

Rerce glared back towards Saturn, causing him to get back a bit, her eyebrows tilted angrily. She raised her hand, flicking Saturn in the forehead before continuing rhe walk.

"That stupid maid killed my friend..! I have every reason to hate her..! I'n not as pitying ass Morell.."

She groaned, Chronos walking behind her as she poked her on the shoulder, Reece turning to her upsetelly, her cheeks puffed up to the constant distractions.

"What..!?"

She growled, Chronos sighing as she began petting Reece's head, in attempt to comfort her. Reece calmed down a bit, though she was a bit iffy to the idea of being touched, twitching back a bit constantly.

"I believe you need to learn some things from this Morell of yours.. You can't lie and say you've never killed, you clearly have before, but you were given a second chance, your friend have you that chance, she opened your heart up.."

She sighed with a grin, tilting her head as she stopped the petting, her hands placed back on her hips as she nodded.

"What I'm saying is, everyone deserves a second chance, regardless of who they kill."

Reece stood there for a moment, looking down to her hand, her teeth grinding together as her fist clenched tightly, though Saturn held her fist down, shaking his head.

"It's not worth it.. we need to find Morell first.."

She glared at Saturn, crossing her arms as she swung her head away from him, the four traveling onwards.
