Chapter 24
Vander hated the rain. It had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQkXy8Vdw
rained ever since the first night he had fled into the Orange Fox after the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe0e2cLCF2
King had been assassinated by Peyton Cranton, but he had taken the fall. He had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBpQKHGadx
been forced into hiding like a rat while the person who had gotten away with89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn7BeNvJTZ
lived like a King, manipulating everything around him.
The council wasted no time dubbing89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdttfKbxIAC
him a criminal and giving him a bounty of five hundred thousand gold coins for89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo3MWccFJg
his capture. Wanted posters had gone up on every corner and every house within89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnoLVTE3B
the outer ring. He was a pariah in his own city. Within the first few days he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3lSlYQtS9
had decided that he would take matters into his own hands. He would act and89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZPAfxdztu
gather the evidence he needed to clear his name then bring Peyton to justice.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpIy44ZGDv
Weeks of careful investigation had brought him here, to a single story house89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIBsaKjHyz
close to the Northern District.
Rain splashed89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcL5SH3uXo
down around him as lightning crackled above. The hairs on his arm rose due to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcrtWLRtEH
the static in the air. Any wrong move could draw attention to where he was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyffymGcfpq
hiding, and he did not want Rolous to see him. He held his breath while89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml9ahDYp4g
stilling his heartbeat hoping against all odds that he would stay unseen. He89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsEuWpvzRR
watched as people ran for cover, but his eyes were focused on one house where89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgQMSgiBO8
his intelligence told him a group of Green Serpents were hiding out. Over the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmIQ3tORBA
past several nights he made a mental note of how many people entered the house89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzfydAwQ5S
as well as how many had left. Tonight, must have been a special night because89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuefEwkxREm
ten people had gone into a house where only three would normally fit. It was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDotUxwMRY
time to move.
The man dropped down from his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKt2BPlBu8
perch, the roof of the house opposite to his target, and landed on the ground89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjbxpAUvC
with barely a noise. The shadows clung to him as he crouched then ran his way89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMZZMnc3ql
across the street. Luckily it was dark, and no one would be out on the street89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrTwsSfe0E
this late at night. He didn’t want to have to ruin some poor soul’s night89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZFFSUg1Ac
because he was careless. He ran towards the door then placed his ear against89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnnFQy7lZi
the hoping to hear what was being said.
“We have new orders from Fang,” a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3vlONmvjg
woman whispered. She was a few floors down, but with his hearing he had no89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU7nNcE1ky
problem making out what was being said. He had discovered Fang a couple of89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksl20WIrRX
weeks ago during his first raid, but he didn’t know who they were. However, it89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGOdTcS4Ak
seemed as though they gave the orders to the Serpents in the city. They were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtuT4WeTht
the ones he needed to reach to gain any information.
“What are they?” someone asked.
“Seems as though out benefactor89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoFMQEmGt
has told them that we need to capture the missing Blade, Vander, alive.” She89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g2LmMKCYX
explained. “We only have a couple of weeks. What should we do?”
He listened as they began89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50n2LNQCV
brainstorming all the way they could find Vander. Some of the ideas were crazy.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq44sMKBwK
Someone suggested they go door to door and threaten the lives of everyone89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlwjaMH4Oi
inside to see if they knew anything. Another mentioned going to visit Julianna89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZX7qY2DCw
since the two of them had been close, she might have an idea where he was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DlELZyXC
hiding out. A third mentioned going to Ross and paying him for the information.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzKQAM0jum
Unknown to all inside, that was the only way they would be able to find Vander,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKIZymY0N4
but they would never get the chance to find out. He would deal with them right89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTv2y6GROh
now.
He quickly looked through the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqrdRI4KzD
cracks to find two guards standing there with their backs to the door. Only89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhyzDcaiGb
novices wouldn’t be outside to guard the door, even if they didn’t want to draw89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8zW3WVqWm
attention to themselves. This was foolish, so he decided to teach them a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpaK6yHJ3a
lesson.
He carefully walked away from the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRQNJKMxo1
door then steeled himself as he charged forward. He shoulders check the door89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bKMGrN2ow
causing it to fly off its hinges. Normally people would have shattered their89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ195j7U1htu
shoulders, but he wasn’t normal. He was blessed with the powers of Unna and the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ81enyLn1
demon inside craved blood.
“Intru…” One of the guards shouted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbRmpZJC7e
out, but he didn’t get far. Vander shoved a dagger in his neck silencing him89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDy33F7GjY
almost immediately. The other guard didn’t have time to draw their sword before89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlCR55iYXr
Vander was upon him tearing out his neck with bare hands. As blood dripped down89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvURi5Sy9F
from the cartilage, Vander threw it at the next person who came up the stairs89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXVsB4agIz
that had been dug through the floor. They cried out as blood splattered their89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspSicgjUE
eyes, but they wouldn’t have the chance to wipe it off. Vander jumped, kicking89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6vyi7e7nb
him down the stairs, sending them both into the darkness below.
He landed on the blinded man’s89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIW7pMRk0h
chest. He heard the satisfying crunch as bone shattered, breaking his back. Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkydGBI9q4
heard the heart stop beating as the final breath left the man’s body. Vander89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkfvweHbvk
looked up at the Serpents who looked shocked, but it would wear sooner rather89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG55QSttPh2
than later. He was lucky that they had cornered themselves into a very small89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGkFV4VEy
room or this would have gone badly.
“Damn it.” The female speaker drew89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN6P9uzsX0
her sword. “It’s him. Don’t just stand there, kill him!”
Vander lunged forward grabbing the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAyiDBXd7V
closest person’s face then slamming them against the wall. He quickly removed89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTNX4T3SAR
his dagger, gave three quick stabs in his chest, before tossing him into89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw7JYYdX8D
someone else. The two bodies collided then fell onto the ground. He ducked as89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaFm9Nt3yO
the female swung her sword at his head. The sword collided with a wooden shelf,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26OzMO7DiG
but she pulled it out rather effortlessly. He jumped forward, but she was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFVplwsq3M
waiting for him. She dropped the sword then met him head on.
She was stronger than she looked.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYxr3DWNUb
She grabbed him by the shoulders and started to walk forward. He could feel his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52p5FBnhZr
feet dragging backwards. She grinned at him, then taunted him by calling him89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIIbuS2l3c
weak and a pushover. The demon couldn’t stand being belittled so it whispered89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaIV7BPK0p
into Vander’s ear telling him to tear her throat out. He ignored the whisper.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiPVbs7Ost
Instead, he grabbed her then pulled her towards him knocking her off balance.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAVDyWXr3z
He fell backwards, bringing his foot up into her stomach, then threw her over89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHjoitPG2y
his head. She landed on the man Vander had previously knocked over.
“Bastard.” A sword swung down89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6shkg8Yx
aiming to split Vander in half. He brought his hands up clapping down on the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZuHJoaBJ8
weapon. He felt the edge bite into the palms of his hand, but the gift he had89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0mZSdTwSc
would heal them with minimal scaring. Vander’s leg lashed out at the fingers89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFxjzlJmul
holding the sword. He heard a satisfying crunch followed by a scream as the man89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi69x4GrshO
stumbled backwards holding his broken fingers.
Vander spun to his feet then swung89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDNMUY2EO
the sword hilt into the man’s jaw. He involuntarily spun around as pieces of89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRmZRyfZd5
teeth flew from his mouth clattering onto the ground. He fell to his knees89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X8ptuk08H
clutching his mouth as blood flowed freely between his mangled fingers.
He quickly surveyed the scene89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYfn7CNuG
around him. Two were still trying to get to their feet, four had been killed,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YpagxDjjU
and one was out of commission for the time being. That left three unaccounted89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNT0she0Zs
for. He could see them downstairs, but there was nowhere else they could have89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyMmO9b7my
gone unless there was another hidden path leading out of the house towards the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLKB8Q1k7J
streets of Eluvia. He would have to see where the path led, but first he had to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6JRn7smdJ
deal with the survivors.
Vander flipped the sword around89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Z92yKlTs
catching it out of midair. The man with the broken jaw didn’t put up a fight as89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5zxOKVmBa
he shoved the tip through the man’s neck. Blood gurgled from his mouth as89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WKo0zQyls
saliva and blood blended. Vander kicked the sword free ignoring as his enemy89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LCVuFI5SJ
drowned in his own blood.
The two made it to their feet, but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfy0trPBJk
they looked nervously at each other as they looked over the carnage surrounding89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmehwafOF
them. He had only been down here for a few minutes, but five of them were89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxTmo1NZtm
already dead. It didn’t bode well for them, but they would have been a disgrace89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxV3KzRo63
to their reputation if they surrendered. The two of them exchanged glances89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPdrYWANBN
before charging Vander.
He brought his sword up to block a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhcCINa4UY
strike then kicked the other person away from him. He lunged to the side making89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WjQuhQhD
sure to keep both of his enemies either next to or in front of each other. They89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qu4EUEajR
were hesitant to attack while their partner was on the way, which made his job89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnATwCU4kPR
a lot easier. As he blocked another sword strike, he grabbed a dagger from his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2hMt3Xjnc
belt and shoved it through her wrists sticking them together. She dropped the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTZYTmCGpc
sword as she screamed in pain. He removed the dagger then jammed it through the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8XPwop2u8
top of her head. Her eyes rolled back as she slumped over, dead.
As the last Serpent screamed,89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSSXXRFWPw
Vander spun around and thrust the sword through the space between his arm and89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhJho2LmDE
ribs skewering the Serpent on the Blade. Something wet and sticky hit Vander’s89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpDIIbsZxA
back as the body fell into him. Sighing to himself, Vander removed the weapon89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEtlie32iP
from his enemy’s chest and stepped out from underneath him. The body hit the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrMkrHPeF
ground with a splat. Now that there was no one around him posing a threat to89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexylPe6l7L
his safety he decided to look around.
Stepping over the fresh bodies, he89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0rHdKvUdu
started his search at the table they were hovering around when he entered.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QjnLEckb4
There was a smoothed out scroll lying there that seemed to have been undamaged89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSt6tmuObR
despite all the blood and fighting. He carefully picked it up to read the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxOfXQmSi5
contents in the low light of the candles. He wasn’t surprised at all when the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiyFBV8e5a
contents were just as he overheard. Someone wanted him brought to them alive.89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lujs5m2Ow
He could only think of one person, by why alive? Why not dead? It would be89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAurUtcdPGM
easier for Peyton to control the narrative that way.
“You should strike first.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdXnlVdfLo
Vander ignored the chill traveling down his spine when the voice whispered in89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNVq5UZBnJ
his ear. He could always feel the demon trying to take control, even through89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dJ1MFj8XX
all the mental barriers he had put up to protect himself, but it was only89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdfqKj8j8G
recently that he could hear him.
“No,” Vander growled. He rolled89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUJZnBT5Uf
the paper up before sticking it into the pocket inside of his jacket. “We can’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVnlb0ld8o
kill him until I clear my name.”
“Let me take control.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0KL4Wtny
Vander saw the shadows ripple along the wall. Two dark red eyes looked back at89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1GcXXrOtR
him. He turned away, suppressing his fear. He couldn’t give the demon any more89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUftre4WcH
power over him, he had already become so strong.
“Begone.” He swiped at the shadows89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKlELsJZDk
erasing the eyes from his mind. His head was filled with laughter that slowly89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyThHUBGfI
faded. It was a promise that the demon would return to take control. It was89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsDwWwShOH
getting easier to feel tempted ever since he fled, but he had to stay strong89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8IVxb5gaj
until he could figure out how to remove him completely.
He took a quick look around but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiURz5uLqD
didn’t see anything else worth grabbing. He went upstairs to check there, but89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2tzLrtYip
he heard footsteps moving around. He froze as he recognized the sounds of heavy89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemYfsH7tcC
armor clanging on the wooden floor.
“What the hell happened here?” a89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xziyZQs21
guard asked.
“I don’t know, but go get help.”89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8PVXQLG5c
Another said. Vander heard him bent down to check the pulses of one of the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGa0WDfdbd
guards. “They’re dead. We will have to wait for backup.”

the other stayed behind. It wasn’t bravery, it was foolishness. You never knew89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t6VRReBGI
if the culprit was still in the house. Someone who could kill at least two89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRoeH5iaVo
people was not someone you want to be alone with. The guard overestimated his89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgM4yO4vCW
abilities and part of Vander wanted to teach the man some hubris, but he wasn’t89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ya1R5pyoE
here for them. As quickly and as quietly as he could he stepped away from the89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB22CxldUL
stairs and down the tunnel.
