That night, Twitch and the rest of the group met Hunter by the library.
"Alright..." Hunter began to whisper. "You guys need to stay RIGHT behind me. Once Azazel is away from the chamber...we slip in...deal? No dilly dallying."
The others nodded.
..........................................
Twitch and Silver watched for the guards, while the others hid behind benches and barrels.
Hunter left them alone while he stepped into the chamber.
The King's chamber was a meeting place for Valerian, Azazel and Hunter.
Thankfully, Valerian wasn't around. Hunter went over to check to see if she was asleep first....before this mission.
Behind the closed door, Twitch can hear the conversation.
"We've spotted someone not doing their role here. It seems he's under YOUR care! What shall I do about the situation?" Hunter asked Azazel.
Suddenly, the harsh raspiness of the monster's voice spoke. "Well...tell me....who down there....is deceiving me?"
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Hunter then spoke with a very monotonous tone. "The newest one, sir....he's not following his orders...apparently he doesn't appreciate being the caretaker around here."
Azazel sighed. "Let ME handle it." Twitch can then hear Hunter's boots walk out with confidence.
He looked before all of them., and mouthed the word, "Hide."
Twitch and them hurriedly slid behind the wall, where they won't get spotted. His heart pounded in his chest, but not loud enough to be heard.
They could then hear Azazel bitch under his breath. They could then hear him change his form.
They then held still as the purple eyed dark creature walked right past them. Hunter, who was hiding with them, then slid out from the shadows and one by one, they all started to get out of their hiding spot into the chamber.
Hunter and the others felt around for any loose brick. Before they could begin, something alerted them...causing them to hide under the bed, hide inside the wardrobe, and hide behind the big brass door.
Hunter folded the back of his hands behind his back and gazed at Azazel.
"I might need some direction, Hunter. Lead me to him." He ordered.
Hunter nodded in acceptance.
Twitch could notice that Hunter made a light gesture with his finger, telling them to move on.
As Hunter and Azazel walked out, the purple eyed creature changed his form into the figure in black...set with that CREEPY skull mask.
Then the door was shut and locked.
Twitch and the others moved quickly...they didn't have enough time. Thankfully though, he found the loose brick and pulled on it, then the weight of the wall opened up and slid very loudly. Azazel had to have been hearing this!
Twitch turned to the others, "Go!" He whispered.
Silver, Winter, Beast and Crescent all went in, Twitch coming in last. He stopped to make sure that Hunter was coming....he decided to leave the passage open. They just had to move fast!
