Cherreads

Chapter 11 - CHAPTER 11: The Bontans

"Cherif it's not looking too good we just found out that the Bontans are in town and there closer than ever," Brandon warned. Instead of looking concerned though the Cherif just sighed before taking a sip of her coffee. "Excuse me did you not hear what I said LORESSA!" She snapped the calm look on her face and it turned into a more irritated one. "Just kill the girl it's simple you know before anything happens, it can't be that hard," Loressa scoffed. Now you could really see Brandon's face firing up with rage, "which girl huh? and when and why is it that you never have any mercy for anyone!" He then glared at her ready to continue his argument in the "case", "I don't even know which girl it is, but they did nothing wrong to be murdered!" now the Cherif was really mad. She looked like a cold jacket could be placed on top of her and it would immediately burn to pieces. "Well now that you say that it's murder when nothing Is but a task than I will task you to kill both!" the Cherif chuckled. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and both Brandon and Loressa froze. Today was their break day, that's why they were going on about arguing with each other. But if there was someone knocking on their door at this time than that certainly meant trouble. "Excuse me," shouted a rather deep voice, "I would like to enter I have news for you," he was now chuckling as if he had been waiting for this moment his whole life. The Cherif nodded at Brandon, and he slowly walked up to the door and opened it. He then jumped far back away from the door in fear of getting injured. The man was now walking into their office, he was tall thin and a little pale, Brandon even caught a glimpse of a snake tattoo on his armpit! The man than stopped in the middle of the room so he could be seen by both the Cherif and Brandon. "I am Conner and I am my boss's right-hand man, now I'm pretty sure you know who my boss is Sargant Lee," He smirked at their shocked faces. But they quickly turned into irritation for why had the Sargant brought his right-hand man to them? "Well, you are probably wondering why I am even here, well my boss gave me a task that I must tell you that the girl is with Samuel Bontan and Emily Bontan." Now Conner was smirking waiting for them to get all the information in, "you might be surprised why I gave you this information, but I must say that we have a truce now right, but you now owe us for the information." 'Of course, he would do this he's Sargant Lee for crying out loud he would trick us into doing anything for him', Loressa thought. 'I bet it was so easy to find the information too given that their litterly aliens!' And now Loressa could see for the first time that an alien like Conner wasn't wearing any protection just himself he brought himself. "Why don't you have those protection things of yours huh how are you still alive!?" Conner chuckled, "you mean our gear, well let's just say I'm.... special!" he burst out loud. If he wasn't litterly their enemy Brandon would've laughed at him like a good friend for being silly and ridiculous. But that wasn't the case this guy was going against them, he wanted to end their lives for good heavens he could never be their friend!

Viena was now in the car with the man and the woman that claimed to be Sam and Emily but maybe they were lying. 'If they do turn out to be abusive' Viena thought, 'then they will be my targets and Ille kill them for my system!' The man was now driving at this moment, and the woman kept looking at Viena funny which really confused her a lot. It was a mix of happiness and investigation, it made her feel like she was looking for anything she needed to know about Viena but was trying to also keep on her nice face, so Viena didn't suspect her. But her plan had backfired because now Viena was confused about what she was doing, and if she was even the same gross loving woman from the Orphanage. When Viena thought this a new message came up in front of her

[ Kill a human]

[ Inject blood in body]

[Get a skill]

[ONLY 24 HOURS LEFT TO KILL AND INJECT]

Now Viena was even more confused, if she were to kill someone and inject their blood into her body than would she get a skill. Or would she need to find a skill right after that? Once more now a message popped up in front of Viena

[ Choose carefully who the person you kill is because they will be the ones to give you the skill]

Now everything made sense, when the system had told Viena to choose carefully who she killed she thought it meant if they were deserving. But no all along all the system meant to say was whoever she chooses that would be the skill she got. 'But who even has magical abilities anyway isn't that just fantasy?' Viena thought once more. 

[ This AI system is not something you thought existed]

[ There are people out there with abilities you just need to find them in 24 hours]

[good luck]

And then the messages were gone and Viena felt nervous, she didn't know anyone who had an ability. Where in the world would she even find one? "Excuse me sweetie but me and your dad aka Samuel Bontan and Emily Bontan would like to tell you something." Now Viena was more confused, why did she say their last names like it was so important to their "meet and greet." "Um why did you say Bontan what is that?" and now both Samuel and Emily looked at each other knowing they would have lots to explain to her. "Well for starters were very powerful and popular, and also rich," she added. "Well, I could tell that already," Viena annoyingly said. "Let's just say were magical!" Emily said with clear child directed speech in her voice. "I'm not a baby you know you can talk to me normally," Viena was now very irritated at the way she talked to her. "Well let's just say were not people you want to mess with, not you though darling but others," the woman said.
