At that statement, Allen and Neon, who had been arguing about a sci-fi fiction they had watched minutes ago, paused. They all stared at the robot and Isabella with probing curiosity.
“Enemy is square shaped, brown in color with fraying edges and lying at a sixty degrees plane,” Isabella commanded.
“Initiating quick search…..Five seconds …four seconds….three seconds…. Two seconds…. a second…. Search completed…. Target accuracy … located…. Fire!”
The next they saw, the robot shot a laser beam at Isabella’s pillow, charting that while the smell of burnt heft permeated their noses. For a minute, nobody talked, still immersed with what just happened.
“Cool!!! “All three of the kids screamed in delight when they realized what just happened.
“How did you do that?!”
“Can I play with it?!”
“I want one!”
Neon, Ailee and Allen were so excited to try it out.
“Now listen to me!” Isabella boomed at them like an army General and they obeyed immediately.
“Cynthia, silent mode, shut down,”
And silently, the robot shut down to the children’s awe – what they would do with a robot like that.
“Now listen to me you three squirrels -“
“Does that mean you’re the?sister to the three cute looking squirrels?” Ailee taunted her and Isabella in return passed the girl a sharp glare. However, realizing she was the one in the wrong, Isabella tone the glare down.
“As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted….” She still eyed her sister, “I think we’re all in danger,”
“Danger?” they all chorused
“What kind of danger?” Ailee was the one to ask.
“The kind of danger where we all got a bullet shot in our brains. Remember Mom told us about that assassin that killed your granny Angela – definitely not my granny – I think he might be coming here.”
“But why?” Neon asked
Isabella gave him a stupid look, “Does a killer need a reason to kill you”
Allen chortled at his stupidity
“Now I know that you all might depend on the security around but I need you guys to get anything that gives you extra protection,” she added, “You’d been playing pranks all through your lives, now’s the time to put that skill into good work,”
Although the kids didn’t fully believe her, they went ahead to do as Isabella ordered in fear of incurring her wrath.
“What does this do?” Isabelle inspected Ailee’s weapon which was a hairpin?
“Watch and see?” The girl pressed a tiny button on its side and the four clover design crackled with electricity sufficient enough to knock a man down on his ass.
“Hmm, this should do in close range but be careful not to stun yourself as well,” she showed approval,”Next”
Allen approached her with a smirk showing off the little mechanical spider in his palm.
“Alright what does this sick looking little toy do-Ahh!” isabelle yelled when it nipped her on the wrist
Allen grinned, “You’re not the only one with a cool robot,”
“Fine, it’s good for sneak attacks and nice control you got there. Now get your smug face out of my sight,”
“My pleasure,” the boy even made the gesture of bowing before leaving.
“Neon,” Isabella breathed, “And this it?” her brows raised questioningly at the mouse in his grasp.
“Mr Smuff,”
“What does he do exactly?”
“Brings good luck,”
“Well, good luck in trying not to get yourself killed,” She dismissed him, shaking her head with a sigh.
She faced them all, “Now kids I know you got good gadgets and all but do not react harshly. We’re facing men with guns, real guns, and they wouldn’t hesitate to hurt -“
The lights went out
Gunshots rang out.
The third point of view :
Reina had a bad dream, and in that horrible dream, Niles betrayed her. However, it was not a dream.
She woke up with a startle, senses muddled, and definitely pissed as hell. Dizziness overwhelmed her the instant she sat up and had to lay back on the bed till the whirling sensation stopped.
Niles betrayed her, that realization drummed in her head and hummed in her blood. She had trusted him and thought he trusted her too. But then it had all been a lie; he had used her; made her lower her guards so she doesn’t suspect his intentions. The thought of it pained her greatly and with that grief, Reina made her way out of the room amid the nauseating sensation in her chest.
Where was she going to begin? Since Niles tricked her already, that meant they were already far gone, and heading over there would do her no good.
She would get herself harmed; get caught in the crossfire or even distract them in the fight. In one word, there was nothing she could do but wait patiently for their return – and then she could skin Niles alive with her own hands. How dare he drug her?
Despite the fact she felt horrible, Reina made her way downstairs to find her kids, having suspected they might be in the living room watching television when the light suddenly gave out.
