Chapter 9 - Heir

As 163 walked out of the commander office those around could feel the deadly aura coming from her. No one wanted to ask, knowing her cold and harsh temper.

As she walked into the training area, everyone halted not moving, with their eyes holding questions, 'Who could have angered 163'.

"This is new", Someone spoke, all the attention shifted to girl who looked a bit older than 163,"I heard that your rank has been... lowered, 163".

163 halted, clenching her fist into tight balls. She closed her eyes trying to ignore the person who just spoke.

"You failed in your mission, how shameful of you, Amy".

163 true name is Amy. They rarely use name here, to them it is nothing but a weakness to be called by names, some of them don't have name. They were brought in as infants.

Amy turned, "You are not permitted to call me by my name", She hissed, she could control her angry when it comes to this situation.

"And your rank?, you can no longer command us as you use to Amy, you are just as helpless as a baby chick".

"I have to remind you that.... I am still capable to rip you in two, right", She step closer and suddenly the atmosphere became cold, "I will rip you slowly and painfully until you have nothing else in you trust me you will beg for death and it won't find you, Bella". Her words sent shivers down everybody's spine, her voice was frightening.

"B.. But y... you have nothing!", Bella snapped still in fear.

The moment the last word escape her lips, a powerful kick landed on her face sending flying to a close wall.

"Ahhhhh".

"That should be a warning", Amy stated firmly walking away.

She is still the boss.

~~~~~

Grace opened her eyes slowly as she scan the room she's in. She turned to move when someone voice rang.

"Don't move Grace", Amber said carefully, as she stood up from the couch, moving to her, "Are you feeling ok?".

She nodded even though she felt sour and weak, "Did I pass out?".

"Yes you did. You gave me a heart attack Grace".

Grace looked at the window has she left Alaska?, "Where are we?".

"I'm sorry, Grace. But we are still in Alaska, you are not in the position of travelling until you get better", Amber smiled but Grace looked away, her fate is now crushed within seconds.

Amber noticed her a tears, she really want to leave this place so badly. She knows it reminds her of her parents, she understands the situation.

"Grace I promise you, you will leave this place".

"My mother promised to protect me and died. So I won't be surprise when you die too. It's all my fault".

Amber was taken back, her fault?. Why does she blame herself?.

"Grace nothing is your fault", She said, "You are the strongest girl I have ever known. Though you have seen the death of your parents .... but it doesn't matter. You are alive and....."

"You know nothing!!", Grace yelled cutting her off, "You... you don't know... you don't", No one can understand her pain now, she felt so many emotions in her heart, "Please... stop".

Amber watch her tremble in pain, it hurt her that she can't do anything about it but watch the poor girl blame herself. Amber knows the pain of losing the two most important people in the world, she also know how hard it is to accept that they are gone far away from your reach. She couldn't help but sighed, not because of Grace situation but because her parents were murdered by spies, she felt a pain in her heart. Now knowing who Grace is she couldn't hold it, because of her kind she lost everything. Everything damn it.

"You shouldn't blame yourself Grace", She chocked out, "You are not to be blamed for your parents death, so.... please don't keep yourself in the dark. I beg you".

Grace could tell there was something that hurt Amber than her situation right now. She had two things in her mind either Amber lost her parents or blame herself for a situation that happened in the past?. She couldn't place it or figure it out. All she did was stare at her, and waited for Amber to say something.

"You want me tell you my pain?", Amber questioned already getting the hint through Grace's eyes, "I guess I can't right now Grace, it can be another time not now".

IN A WASHROOM.

"Why the hell are you calling me haven't I done everything you ask?, why are you pushing me beyond my limit!!", A man voice roared anyone who sees him at this state could tell he's up to no good.

"Whoa cowboy slow down", A female voice chuckled at the other side, "You haven't done everything.... yet. Where is the girl?".

"The f**king child who almost blew someone brains out. I'll call her a lunatic than a child. Why didn't you tell me she can use a goddamm gun, huh?!!. This might be a joke to you not me, come get the f**king lunatic!".

"Well that child that you are call a lunatic is an heir. So keep that mouth of yours somewhere far away from that child. She must not know who she is.... not yet".

"That is your problem Aries, I don't care about your spy activities anymore. I have been covering your tracks for far too long, give me a break!".

Aries clicked her tongue irritated, "Listen Samuel, I have the most precious thing in the world to you and you don't want to see them die, hanging at your front yard, do you?".

Silence filled the washroom for some seconds, he couldn't breathe after hearing Aries words.

"What do you want?", He asked calmly.

"Good boy, Samuel", She praised, "Keep an eye on her. Make sure she gets adopted and taken out of Washington. Then I tell you the rest".

"You want her out of Washington when she gets there?. I'm sorry to say this but she won't be under my care, but under the government".

"Don't lie to me, Sammy. I'm fully aware of the government moves, I know everything. They don't need any information about Grace all they want is the chip and now they have is. Peter Cole has given you guys the most powerful device ever made. So they will just throw Grace to an orphanage, I'm sure of that. Anyways I off to another hide and seek, don't try to go against my word because you won't like it", Aries disconnected the line leaving Samuel burning in anger.

Grace stared at Amber as she talked with the doctor concerning her health. She could see the seriousness in the doctor eyes and the understanding look of Amber.

"Thank you doctor", Amber said as the doctor left and turned to her, "Looks like we are going to be leaving Alaska very soon, Grace".

Grace felt relief, now she gets to leave this place.

"The doctor said you passed out due to dehydration and you're fine now".

Just then that door opened and Samuel walked in, his expression blank as ever.

"We can go now", He said glancing at Grace and she found it weird, "The plane is waiting, Amber".

"Okay", Amber extended her hand towards Grace letting her climb down the hospital bed, "Let get off this state shall we?".

Grace nodded following the as they left the room. This is a new beginning for her, she has to make it worth it.....
