Amber brain immediately shut down as she stared at the burning plane, no it can't be.. no Grace isn't. At the the background she could hear Samuel voice calling her, and then Mr Brooks making emergency calls. But all her focus was on the plane.
"Amber!!", Samuel called out the seventh time, "Amber come on stay with me!! Shit!!. Amber!!".
Samuel was losing his patience. He turned back to look at the burning plane, if he had known Aries will kill Grace this way he would have never accepted her offer and go against it.
"Amber please come back to me. Grace is dead!".
His last word seem to have affect her, he totally went still when Amber's tears touch his hand that was on her cheeks, he looked at her worriedly as he caress her cheeks blocking her view from the burning plane. Her lips began to tremble as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Amber", He called her name softly, "Amber can you hear me?".
Her watery eyes met his eyes, and no reason Samuel held his breath.
"Gra.. Garce?", She cried hard. Samuel allowed her to cry on his shoulders, he hated this.. he hates seeing her cry.
"It's okay, Amber. it's alright", He coax her, feeling the pain in his heart.
He looked back at the plane that was already been extinguish by the fire fighters, no survivors.
"I don't know what to say", Mr Brooks said walking to them, "I'm... I'm sorry".
Amber didn't hear anything he said. She knew it.. she just knew it. They will never let her go.
"We have to go back to CIA headquarters. This matter has reach the table of the president".
"You talk like you don't care!!", Amber snapped, "You don't care!!".
"Correction Amber I do care but the president have said this should be classified. Grace will not and is not the child to be killed in ours years, there are more deaths coming and we have to stop it".
"The people? The people who died together with Grace?", Samuel asked.
"My deepest condolences to them. But Grace is the main deal, we have erased the data the time of Grace coming here. That's all I can tell you", He walked away.
Samuel found it cruel, he is well sure that Garce will hunt him in is dreams. Sighing, he looked back at Amber, who had managed to break away from his embrace now staring at the extinguished plane. The bodies inside were now unrecognisable.
"If we had known...".
"But we didn't know. We failed Sam. We failed to protect her, now I know the f**King Slayers are one step ahead of us. They were probably planning this all along", Her voice was cold, that it sent shivers down Samuel spine.
"Amber...".
"I told her to trust me. And now look at how my trust has killed her".
Samuel clenched his fist until it turned white, "Don't blame yourself Amber".
"I told her the same thing, not to blame herself. She said to protect her is not enough. The Slayers will still find her. For a moment I thought it won't be possible and maybe she was just afraid. But now I think she's right. That why I swear to kill them... I will kill each and every one of them ".
Samuel choked on his silvia, Amber was being dead serious.

"Grace is dead Amy", Justin informed.
Amy turned to him with a start frowning, "What?".
"Grace is dead. She died in an explosion".
"Explosion?. Few hours ago you told me that she was boarding a plane to leave Washington. Why are you telling me now that she is dead?".
Justin sighed, "Somethings are not meant to be Amy. The heir now is dead we have no heir to take over the emper. That is a problem".
Amy narrowed her eyes, thinking. It doesn't make sense to her, they wasted Grace like a chicken.
"The news have spread through out the organisation's and no one is blaming the Slayers because they had nothing to do with it", Just added.
"...?".
Amy blink at him confused, the Slayers had nothing to do with Grace death, that means it was an accident?, there is no way Garce death could be an accident? Right?.
"We are all ordered to not talk about her death. The commander has spoken to the Council. He will be the next heir. The seat can't be empty".
Is it only her but is that not too early? To give someone else who is not related to Grace by blood the title of heir?.
"I think the commander killed Grace", She said coldly.
"You are throw allegations Amy", Justin warned, "The commander will not kill Grace for the title. Grace is his niece".
"Yeah Grace is his niece", She repeated his words inwardly, "But they are not related don't forget that. Any one who has his position will want more power, and the only way is to become the heir. He is a false blood, which cannot be accepted as the next heir. That I will not agree to, you might but I will not".
"It's too late 163. Because the title is already his. There is nothing you can do, he has all the organisation bowing down at his feet this very moment. It's too late to react".
Amy face darkened, as much as she hates Grace the title belongs to her and no one else.. out of the whole family Kate was the only one who gave birth to a child, despite being the second child. The first child was not even in their history, because Kate father hid the child for reasons that no one knows, even today no one has seen or heard about the first born. Like he or she is not even in existence.
"We have to go with the flow", Justin stated.
"Go with the flow? With a false blood?", Displeasure was in her voice, "No".
"Like it or not 163. It has already been decided".
"We still don't know how the commander even got related to Grace. All we know is he is Grace uncle... well correction her uncle that is not related to her be the heir and commander? I don't like this and it will lead to a whole lot of mess up things in the future 482. The heir is dead and the murderer is ruling us. Are you sure thst he is not going to kill us to? Or maybe he is plotting another scheme to take over the whole world. Because the heir has the power to control the underground organisations and plan a war to the outside world!!".
