Chapter XIX: Fire, Screams... then Chaos
Found some music to play as you and Lilith dance together.
One Hour Later... Y/N's POV
My watch beeped, telling me that all the bombs were in place, and also telling that my time with Diana was up.
Diana: Shame, really wanted this to last longer.
Me: It's okay, I must be going now.
Diana: Bye Ace!
I waved back as I looked around the room for Lilith. I hope she hadn't her patience run out and been picked up by another guy. I legitimately wanted to dance with her tonight. I then saw her, sitting out on the balcony by herself in the moonlight. Slowly I stride towards her, ignoring anything else that was happening around me.
Me: Lilith?
She turned, and gave the biggest smile I've ever seen in my entire life.
Lilith: Hi Y/N, i-is it time?
Me: Yes, yes it is.
I smirked, holding out my hand. She gasped and slowly took it. I felt her glove rubbing up against my palm as I led her to the dance floor. She grinned as I wrapped my hands around her waist, mine wrapped around her head. As classical music began playing.
Me: Enjoying the Party?
I ask curiously.
Lilith: I am now that you're here with me.
She smiles, giggles and asks me.
Lilith: Do you have something you want to say to me Y/N, Ace of Spades?
I knew what she was trying to squeeze out of me. Not yet, not right now.
Me: I don't want to say it now. I might ruin what'll happen next. I promise it'll be amazing.
Lilith: Ruin what? Honey?
She playfully flirted,
Me:... Victory, my dear... victory.
I responded with my typical low voice. While us swaying to the beat of the music.
Lilith: Oh Y/N, by the way *whispers* Caleb's furious about you dancing with Diana.
Me: No pity there Lily, I knew he'd eventually come short of purpose.
I say, examining her eyes. She notices and blushes, staring away. I come in close and whisper into her ear.
Me: Don't worry he'll be dealt with, for now grab my watch.
Lilith looked confused for a moment, hesitantly grabbing my wristwatch, still able to make it look like we're dancing as I instructed her.
Me: Twist the knob until it's at three o'clock...
I told, she nods, pulls on the mechanism and slowly adjusted the time of the 'watch' until the minute and hour hands both pointed at 3:00.
Me: Now, pull the knob out.
Lilith: What?
She says, confused. Nevermind, I'll do it myself. I move forward a bit and kiss her on the lips. She gasps but sinks into the notion as I myself pull out the knob on my wristwatch. It's actually a wireless detonator, connect to the bombs Caleb laid all around the dance floor. 4 explosions rock the dance floor as Lilith stared into my eyes.
*Stop Song Here*
Fire...
Screams...
Then chaos...
Since I had directed myself and Lilith to the very centre of the dance floor, we were unharmed by the blasts, but for the loners, and for bored partygoers, the story... let's just day ended there for them. When I pulled away, Lilith looked shocked at my actions.
Lilith: I-I...
I shush her as people begin to panic around us. Her purple eyes have a glossy almost childish look in them as I returned my feeling for her.
Me: I like you too Lily. I really do.
I smile as I began to lead her out of the dance floor, the building had caught on fire. But as I had planned. my henchmen boarded up the doors with metallic sheets. Without their trusty weapons people struggled to get out, that's then the gunfire erupted.
Bill and the other 7 of my henchmen broke through all the windows, all of them holding M3 Grease Guns. Though instead of being dressed as chauffeurs which had bought others trust of them, they had changed to White Fang members.
Me: Shit! Furry terrorists!
I yell out, to make sure Bill doesn't mistake me for a day-to-due huntsman and his girlfriend.
People take cover behind anything they could find. Though two were unlucky, and were slain by the machinegun fire.
I took out a handgun I've been concealing this whole time and returned fire at my own henchmen, I'd briefed them on this a few hours ago, it was the signal for them to pull out, and make me a 'hero' and even less of a suspect for Spade. After all, people are suckers for the brave ones.
Me: Get out of here! Or I'll kill you all and stuff you for display!
Bill: Retreat men! Fall back to the ship!
They left in a matter of seconds, leaving the whole dance floor in a wreak, it was only then, that Atlesian soldiers along with General Ironwood finally made their way into the door, finding me in the whole centre of things.
Male Huntsman: He-He saved us from the White Fang!
Ironwood: Fan out men! There might he more around here.
I look at my pistol and toss it onto the ground, where it clattered and I sat down. When I looked up I saw Ironwood towering over me, he looked stern for a moment. Though held out his hand, getting me to my feet
Ironwood: You saved the lives of many tonight, Mr Thire. You should be proud of yourself. You're a hero.
Me: He he, all in a days work.
I speak with little evidence of halfheartedness. I also thumbed-upped, as I smile, people crowded around me and congratulated me for my braveness
Huntsman: Thanks a ton dude!
Huntress: You really showed them what was worth! Great job!
Lilith: You're our hero Ace!
That was also the moment Ozpin speed-walked into the crashed party and tapped his cane on the floor three times quickly and strict.
Ozpin: Everyone return to your dorms immediately! The night is over!
The remaining huntsmen groaned and began to head home as an Atlesian soldier calls for the paramedics. Lilith stood by my side as she looked at me, smiled, then nodded. I responded with a wink.
Me: Impressed?
I ask silently, with Lilith the only one within earshot.
Lilith: Am I in love with you?
She responded with a little laugh.
Caleb's POV Team ACDL's Dorm Room.
That lier! HE TOLD ME THEY WERE ONLY SMOKE BOMBS! He said that no one was going to get hurt!
That it was only a psychological terror attack, with chaos, then an announcement over the highjacked comm system!
Well, serves me right for trusting a double-dealing sleaze. That fucker even manipulated me into killing Pyrrha for him, damn what's he gonna make me do next, kill Ozpin?
The fuck's his motif anyways? Well, for Diana's sake, I have to end this...
