Chapter 12.5: Bloody Quiet Monster

At Night Raid's base...
"It has been three days, still no word from Yukina and Freya." Najenda said, "I wonder what happened to them." She said worriedly.

"I'm pretty sure they are fine, Boss." Akame said.

Najenda sighed, "I know. Besides, I don't know if we will be needing Heavy Pressure for the final battle. But at this case, we are going to need it." She replied.

At the palace...
As Yukina and Freya walks around serving the emperor his breakfast and the Prime Minister.

Yukina narrowed her eyes on the Prime Minister, for she and Freya haven't still found out what is the Prime Minister's imperial arm.

Freya secretly glared at the Prime Minister. She always noticed a small golden ring with one eye on the Prime Minister's finger.

Esdeath narrowed her eyes as she noticed Freya glaring at the Prime Minister.

She conjured up a ice fractal, and almost hit Freya on her forehead, however, Freya was able to dodge.

"Is everything fine, Freya?" Esdeath asked as if she is trying to get Freya caught.

Yukina stood infront of Esdeath as she bows down, "Freya is just use to staring at someone. Sometimes, everyone thought she is glaring at someone." She explained.

Esdeath frowns as she looks at the black-haired girl.

"There is something really fishy about Yukina." She thought.

"I was just testing Freya's reaction time." She replied.

Yukina and Freya left the room, and pretended that nothing happened.

At the hallway...
"Hey Freya!" A navy blue-haired boy greeted.

"Wave." She called out.

Yukina rolled her eyes, she immediately dragged Freya back to their dorm as she said to Wave, "If you need anything, we'll be in our room." She said.

Wave stood there in confusion.

Freya's POV
In our room....
I honestly have no idea why Yukina did that.

As I looked at her, she seems to have some deep thoughts.

She just stared outside the window.

"Yukina?" I asked, "You mind sharing me some of your thoughts?"

She turned to face me, "Freya, do you like someone in this palace?" She asked me.

I shook my head.

"Very well. Cause we are going find out what is the Prime Minister's imperial arm is....tonight." she said.

I widened my eyes, "But without clue, we can't do that." I replied.

"We only have four days left. And on the seventh day, we will attack. So let's carry out this plan, okay?" She said.

I sighed, "Okay."

Night....
I and Yukina fake-slept. As soon as everybody else was asleep, we immediately get up.

"You sure about this Yukina?" I asked as we tiptoed through the hallways.

She nod her head.

I then felt something wrapping around my neck.

A rope, and it is tied to the ceiling.

It lifted me up as I choked.

"Aah......H-he-help!" I said between my breaths.

"Freya!" Yukina called out.

We then heard clapping.

A figure of a black-haired boy appeared.

He is so familiar.....

Wait....

Finn?

"Who knew you were here, Dear sister? Trying to hide from me, ne?" He smirked.

"H-how.....aah....did you kno....ah...w I was here?" I asked between my breaths.

"Simple, I am your brother." He replied simply enough.

"Put her down Finn!" Yukina ordered.

"Or what? You are going to kill me using your microphone?" He mocked.

Yukina narrowed her eyes, "Don't underestimate me." She said.

Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers. The knot of the rope loosens, putting me down. I gasped for air.

I saw Yukina pulled out her teigu and placed it before her mouth while Finn prepared his sword.

Crap! If Yukina uses her teigu, she can wake everyone up! I have to stop her!

"Yukina, wait!" I tried to stop her but it was too late.

She used her teigu, but there was something different.

Finn was affected by her attack, but I did not hear any sound. It's like it is on silent mode.

"Freya, get the mission done!" Yukina said. I followed.

I ran away as I watched my friend battling my brother.

I put on a dark cloak with a hood. I put the hood on and put on an eye mask.

I was running through the hallways 'til the guards saw me.

"Hey you!" One of them yelled.

I quickly ran to the other hall, finding myself a dead end. I took off my cloak and eye mask and hid them, I looked to my right seeing a room with an open door.

I quickly hid myself in there and closed the door.

"Hey where is he......or she?" I heard the guards.

Soon I heard them leaving.

"Freya?" Someone called my name.

I turned around only to see Wave.

Crap! This must be Wave's room.

"Why are you still up?" He asked.

I panicked, thinking of an excuse.

"I......uh......I just finished cleaning the dining room because I took a late night snack and accidentally got lost and ended up here." I explained.

He looked at me puzzled, "Got lost? You have been here for three days?" He responded.

"Well, yeah! Still don't know my way around here, unlike Yukina." I replied.

He smiled, "I'll help you find your way back to your room." He said.

Yukina's POV
In the midst of our fight, I can notice him that he is trying to lure me to a trap.

"You're fast! Pretty fast!" He complimented me while he swings his katana at me.

"Thank you! But I don't need compliments!" I replied as I attacked.

He blocked it, "You know what? I kinda like you on the way how you fight and act!" He said and attacked.

I dodged, "Too slow!" I said.

"So you are some kind of Bloody Quiet Monster?" He smirked.

I smiled, "No, but maybe you are." I said and attacked.

He jumped out of the window next to him.

I looked outside the window and saw him, "Come on! Let's see if you are good at this." He mocked.

I jumped out of the window and attacked.

We continued fighting until we realized we are in the forest already.

I then felt someone is watching.

That's when I knew that, that someone is about to attack Finn.

My reflexes reacted that I dragged Finn to my side making him dodged the attack.

"Huh?" He shrieked.

"I know you are there!" I called out to the person who almost attacked Finn.

The figure appeared, a boy. He smiled, "Shambhala! Activate!" He called.

A circle of black and white, and violet appeared under our feet. In a blink of an eye, we disappeared and was brought to another place.

We seemed to be on an island.

"Where are we?" Finn asked.

I looked out the distance, "Somewhere, but not in the capital, and we are far from the capital." I replied.
