‘What choice!?’ Mouse seemed to be on the outside when it came to who’s who.
Luckily, Ferris stepped in to explain things to her, ‘We gave him the keys to our kingdom. Brax and I were seniors when Cole was in his first year at the Academy, so when the time came, we decided he was the most fitting leader to rule in our place.’
‘Funny for us to be meeting like this,’ I needed a proper explanation of what the actual fuck we were doing there.
And Mouse was doing nothing more than extending the blur. ‘I have crucial motives to bring you here. This is much harder for me than it is for you.’
‘Is it?’ Ferris asked her with the same doubt that was blooming in all of our minds, as anger was rising on his face.
I might not have seen him this way in a while, but I recognized perfectly well that gaze — possessive and feral. He wanted her the very same way I did.
And the distress in Mouse’s voice was reinforcing my suspicions, ‘Yes... It is.’
Why would it be hard for her to speak? The question ran through my mind, but Brax was the one who asked it, ‘Why would that be?’
I guess it was the moment of truth as Bea barely managed to murmur, ‘You all knew that I have other commitments. Well, each one of you is standing in the same room with myother commitments.’
Brax and Ferris were the other commitments!?What were the actual chances of something like that fucking happening!? Although as I came to think about it, maybe it was for the best it worked out the way it did. I had kept lying to myself for a while that Mouse seeing other men didn’t bother me. But I was a fucking alpha male. How could I not be bothered? I almost killed Ace over it a few days before.
Except, things were different when it came to Ferris and Brax. They were like my brothers, or maybe even more.
I respected them.
I looked up to them.
They were both my mentors and most trusted friends. The guys who empowered me, and were willing to let me into their kingdom during the year we spent together at the Academy. And why not, the fucking devils that shared the best of everything they had with me.
Still, I wasn’t sure what the reunion was about and it seemed that neither was Brax, ‘Talk about a small world, huh?’
‘So, what is this, Mouse? Have you called us here to choose a favorite, or what?’ I was curious to learn what her pretty head would come up with.
‘No, I called you here for a much more important reason than me trying to make sense of what is happening with my life. I called you here because of the riots. Because of the upcoming Revolution.’
‘What could you possibly know about the fucking Revolution!?’ I asked, somewhat amused that she was taking life so seriously.
‘More than you.’ She cut me off, stretching my nerves to their limits.
‘Let her speak.’ Brax asked me in a tone I didn’t like. She must have meant something to him. He would have never shut me down like that otherwise.
‘I have information. Information that when put together reveals the catastrophic situation we all find ourselves in. And when I sayall,I don’t mean just the four of us. I mean the whole city. The world as we know it is going to change soon. The hierarchies, social positions, everything. I’ve learned things. I’m far from being proud of how I did it, but maybe it all served a greater cause. There will be a precise division of powers soon, and if the master plan works out, all residents of the Pit will be enslaved by the Elite.’
‘Enslavedis a hard word. Maybe have their liberties restricted when it comes to entering the Hills. I don’t see anyone going to such extreme extents as toenslavethem,’ Brax didn’t agree, although everything Mouse said left a dark hole deep within me.
I had some information on the subject, and Bea was calling me to speak my mind, ‘Cole...’
‘Shit. She’s right.’ I muttered, thinking of a way to explain things.
I guess there’s no time like the present to reveal the catastrophe that was one step away from blowing our city to pieces.
‘What the fuck do you meanshe’s right!?’ Brax was certainly interested in the subject.
Time for the truth.
‘The plan is to turn all of the Annelids into slaves. Not figuratively, but quite literally slaves. Like build a fucking electric fence, give them uniforms, numbers, and fucking tracking devices.’
No wonder Brax was surprised, he wasn’t up to date about things, ‘I have information about the Elite bringing in mercenaries to stop this. But slavery, that’s too fucked up even for them,’
Ferris asked the question that was running in the back of all our minds. ‘Bea. What exactly are the three of us doing here?’
