Chapter 7: Sister Dearest
"Big sister, it has been a long time since we saw each other last..." said Finn with a sinister smile.
Freya's whole body stiffened.
"Surprise?" He smirked at his sister, "So do I. By the way, I remember, you always tuck me in to bed, and say 'Good night' to me." He added.
He pulled out his sword, "Now I shall repay you back. Good night sister!" Said Finn as he was about to attack.
Freya didn't know what to do, she gazed at her brother...hesitating.
The next thing she realized, Her brother was going to kill her.
Freya prepared her sword, however, feeling scared to attack. "I can't believe this..." Freya mumbled.
Someone then jumped infront of Freya, and parried Finn's attack. It was Yukina. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! Retreat!" She yelled.
"But..." Freya uttered.
"No buts! Let's go!" Said Yukina as she dragged Freya away from Finn.
Finn get back up to his feet, "I'm gonna kill you." He said as he watched his sister running away.
Back at the base...
"Unbelievable Freya, this is the first time I saw you like that." Yukina said sternly as she walks from left to right, right to left.
Freya looked down, "Sorry, my whole body just stiffened." She replied.
"Doesn't matter. What matters is that your safe." Yukina said with a smile as she knelt down and hugged Freya.
A girl with light pink hair went in. It is one of the new recruits, Chelsea. "Hey Freya, Yukina!" She greeted.
Freya glared at her, "What do you want now?"
Chelsea laughed teasingly as she sat down beside her. She then stopped laughing, "I heard what happened. How do you feel when you found your long lost brother?" She asked concernly. Freya sighed, "Happy, but, at the same time, sad." She replied as she frown.
"I....I know how you feel." Said Chelsea.
"Freya...." Yukina called as she stood up.
"Hm?"
"If you are willing to convince Finn, well then, you are permitted. But you do know, in this world someone will die." Yukina explained.
Freya looked at her disbelief.
"I know that already. But I'll be fine." Replied Freya.
Akame, Mine and Leone came in.
"Guys! Emergency!" Akame said out loud catching her breath.
Freya, and Chelsea stood from their seat.
"The teigu of Zac, which is Spectator, has gone missing!" Mine said.
"We thought that someone had stolen it." Leone added.
Freya's eyes widened, "Impossible!" She shouted.
"Tatsumi and I went to check all the teigus at the room where they are place, but when we got there...we saw pieces of a shattered glass....the case where Spectator was kept.....it was gone." Mine explained.
"Boss, wanted us to search for the thief." Akame added.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Yukina said.
They all searched for the thief.
Mine and Tatsumi searched at different areas at the top of the mountain. While Leone, and Akame, decided to search at bottom of the mountain, Najenda and Susanoo who is one of Najenda's new recruits and Najenda's teigu searched around the base. While Yukina and Chelsea searched at the forest nearby the mountain. And Freya decided to search at the Capital along with Lubbock.
At the Capital...
"So Freya?" Lubbock called as they roam around.
"Hm?" Freya turned.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Freya nodded.
They then heard footsteps.
Freya held Lubbock's hand and dragged him to a dark alley.
"Night Guards....they seem to be patrolling once again." Freya said as she peeked seeing Palace Guards walking around.
"Hey, Lubbock! Answer me!" Freya called.
"Wha-ah? Yeah! There must be a beast roaming around during the night." Said Lubbock with a small red tinted on his cheeks.
Freya turned to him...
"Are you blushing?" She asked.
"No! It is just a bit hot!" He replied.
They went out of the dark alley as soon as the guards are gone.
"They're gone! Let's get going!" Freya said as he started to drag Lubbock, still holding his hand. "Wait!" Lubbock stopped making Freya stopped too.
Freya glanced at the dark green-haired boy. "What?" She asked. Lubbock looked around. "Someone's watching." He said.
Freya wandered her eyes around as her senses tingled. Her eyebrows twitched as her long blonde hair being blown by the wind.
Someone then attacked from behind. Freya looked at her back. Her eyes widened.
Lubbock, immediately went to action. He carried Freya and dodged the sudden attack.
They landed near a dark alley.
"Are you okay?" Asked Lubbock putting Freya down. Freya nodded.
"Surprising....very surprising....you are able to dodge that attack." Someone said.
They turned to the sound of the voice seeing a man with muscles wearing a black outfit and black cloak. With an eye placed on his forehead. He holds two large sworda in his two hands.
"You are able to retrieve the teigu Black Marlin, therefore, I shall steal another teigu---And guess what? I have decided to steal Spectator." He said.
"So you're the one who stole Black Marlin!" Lubbock said surprisingly.
"And gave it to one of the sadists we have assassinated before, and then you stole Spectator." Added Freya.
The man smiled.
"Young lady, you have the face of a strong woman, and the voice of a brave woman. What do you say, you vs. Me?" He offered.
"There is no way she is gonna fight you!" Lubbock yelled.
Freya sighed in disbelief, "Lubbock...Thank you for that, but no thanks." She mumbled.
"What?!" Lubbock reacted to what Freya said.
Freya stepped out as she pulled out her katana. "I accept that challenge." She said proudly. She positioned herself on a fighting stance.
"Clear sight!" The man said.
He saw Freya got no hidden weapons underneath her clothing. He deactivated the ability.
"I don't know any of the abilities of the teigu Spectator, however, I must try to defeat him." Freya thought in mind.
Little did Freya know, that the man is reading her mind.
"I'll run up to him infront making it look like I'm attacking at the front." She thought as she run up to him, "But as soon as I'm close to him, I'll be jumping at his back and attack him there.".
She got close to him, then jumped at his back about to attack. But the man turned to his back, and parried. "Nice try, but I can read your mind." The man said boastfully, "your next move is, that your right foot will kick my left temple." He added as Freya about to kick him by her right foot at his left temple, as he dodge her attack.
The man then kicked her hard at the abdomen and Freya crashed to the ground. "He is reading my mind. I'm pretty sure he can also see the future, and able to memorize every move and beat I make. If that is the case..." Freya said. She calmed her mind remaining it blank.
The man smirked.
Freya attacked, she run up to him, and swung her katana, however blocked by the man's two swords, but she immediately swung her katana downward, wounding the man's thigh. She returned to her initial point.
"When you blocked my attack, I reacted immdiately." Freya explained.
The man smirked, "Is that a fact? Well then, I guess infront of you, you'll be seeing the one you loved the most!" The man shouted.
In Freya's eyes, a look of her youngest brother, before her. "H-Henrik?" She mumbled.
