Unaffected by everything and everyone around him, Aaron just followed Charlotte uninterested on what ever would be said or done in this excursion today

Betty just followed behind with a few other guard as the excursion fully began, the guild went on explainig one exhibit to another and giving their historical background

This continued for the better half of the time they got for the excursion, till they finally arrived before a set of art

"This is a very important art with long history" the guild said as she politely began to explain it to everyone one

"This is the Minoan frescoes, an art that dated way back to the era of ancient Egypt and Sumerian, also known as the bronze age

It was found on the Minoan civilization ruins later on and spoke much about the civilization of the Minoan"

She began explain each of the Minoan frescoes they had in display for the student ad what had been decipher in them

"And here is the Minoan frescoes known as The Prince of the Lilies" the fresco depicts a young man wearing a crown of lilies, and is standing next to a sacred tree

Aaron eyes linger on this art for a longer while than the others, age most have tell on this piece but if one take a closer look, they might see the Easter egg hidden in it

It was especially so for Charlotte who kept interchange glance between the art and Aaron's face

"And here is another special set frescoes known as frescoes of the Minoan mother goddess"

Aaron eyes darted from that of the Prince of Lillie's to the ones the guild is talking about

Various sets of them, from the Spring Fresco from Knossos, which depicts the goddess emerging from a tree and being greeted by birds and flowers.

To the ladies in blue fresco from Akrotiri, which shows the goddess with two other women

"This goddess is know as Potnia Theron", which means "mistress of the animals" in Greek. She's often depicted with lions or other animals, and is thought to be a goddess of fertility and nature. She's sometimes referred to as "the Minoan mother goddess", and is believed to be a precursor to the Greek goddess Demeter"

The guild went into detail of this frescoes as if she too had a thing for it as she took her time to elaborate

If only she could see Aaron reaction and expression at the moment, they huu is soothing with rage and hate that his knuckles were already cracking from the pressure he exert on them

"That bitch" a sigh escape his lips as he calmed himself down, after all going angry wouldn't change a thing at all

"You seem to have awful history with her, do you know her personally" Charlotte playfully asked, ignoring the guild explanation of the frescoes

"That bitch is nothing a whimp and the reason Minoan empire fell, I'd believed in her at some point but that change when she took what dearest to me"

An hint of pain and anger flash passed his eyes, "well its all in the past now, I got my revenge on her at last, but it cost more than I expected and I still couldn't find satisfaction"

Aaron answered sadistically, "its all still good though, I got multiple chances to get a feel of what I lost over time, like playing as Beowulf in the late 5th century CE,

As King Arthur's in the early 6th century CE, and as Achilles's in Trojan War around 1200 BCE. To be honest, there's quite a bit of fun in all of it till it got boring and I have to fake my own death

" you are just one ol..." Charlotte about to tease Aaron a bit more to stimulate a little of his happy hormones sudden froze in place

Her hands clenched tightly on her head as her eyes lost focus, no matter how much Aaron or Betty called

She wasn't responding, her pupils darting left and right while she was muttering something underneath her breath

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

"Its too loud, its too loud, keep it down" soon these words left been a little whisper to her screaming out loud

Startling everyone as she sudden looked deranged and beasty, her eye filled with furry as she kept screaming at everyone to quiet down even when none is talking

"Stay away from me, I'm not mad, Aaron tell them I'm not mad" she pushed the guards that wanted to restrain her away

Clinging to Aaron arms begging and crying to him to tell everyone she isn't mad or something

With a swift movement from Aaron, he dabbed at the back of her neck, knocking her out in a smooth motion after which he picked her up in a princess fashion

Storming out of the museum, Betty and the guard rushed behind him too, for the first time Betty saw the look she hadn't seen on Aaron face since she knew him till date

It was a myriad of expression but the most apparent one is rage and anger, like his furry could burn down the entire world

Immediately they got in the car, Aaron instructed Betty to place a call to someone while he did his best to make Charlotte comfortable on his chest

He hadn't said any word aside the order he gave her, still Betty felt like a storm is coming and she can't tell how much damage this storm would cause

The car didn't go back to the suit but instead made it for California international airport as per Betty's order

Soon a private jet left the airport, heading for where only the heaven's knowns

....................

Its been a week now since the special unit of CSS took the job handed down to them

They stretched their reach far and wide, covering the Media and other information department to tightly keep things in their grasp while dealing with the problem

And right now is an occasion of them dealing with such kind of problem, heavy gun fire is ranging on an abandoned building

The parameters around this building had been sealed off too, "what the hell is this things anyway" the captain asked the CSS agent he is working with

"Focus your eyes on the field captain else you would be like him" he gesture to an headless body lying a few distance away from the spot they are using as coverage

Cries of soldiers could be heard once in a while when anyone made a slip up, definitely his last cry of his or her life too

"Everyone bound together, she is fast and can crawl on wall, she is using her speed as leverage to pick us off one after the other if we are scattered around"

The CSS agent having understood the attack pattern order to reorganized their position and in no time everyone had bound together at the center of the abandoned building, back against back

"Over here" one soldier fire away but the silhouette evaded in an amazing maneuver speed that outmatched the speed of a regular human

Her ghostly laughter sending chilll down the soldiers spine, "miss Anna, stop this madness and listening to me for a moment" the agent tries to reason out once more but was met with the same ghostly laughter

Suddenly a silhouette flashed by their side and was dashing towards one of the soldiers who got his eyes glued to the roof

*bang* *bang* *bang*

Three consecutive gun shot was made from the agent followed by the tud sound of heavy object dropping to the ground

All the lights in this abandoned building had been destroyed prior time so the room is dark, if not for the night vision goggles

They wouldn't have made it thus far, looking over the area the tud sound had come from

A twitching body could be seen struggling on the floor with blood pouring out of her skull

She looks to be about 35-38 of age and her beauty finally returning as her beast like features slowly revert back to normal

A bullet hole squarely planted on her head as her lifeless corpse slowly turn cold

"Damn it, this one happens to be one of those that can't be reached out to" the agent said as he kneel beside her bloody body, helping to close her eyes

The look of pain and relief evident on her dead face

"Gary, you need to tell me what the hell is going on, last time we were off fighting that tornado kid, the sand lady previously before that and now this"

"I suggest you mind your own damn business Oscar, just do as you are told, and stopasking questions, too much information might get you into trouble"

"I have the right to know, I'm losing men every time we face one of thi. ..sss..s I don't know what to call them"

"Its a sacrifice worth paying for the safety of the country, if you need answers so badly

Then go question your superiors, I'd suggest you only do that if you are fully prepared for what is to come"

Ending his piece, he stood up and left Oscar, ordering for a clean up crew to do the rest and get the body of the lady packed up and sent over to a special morgue

Oscar couldn't argue either, he just stood there starring at the ladies face that seem to have a tinge of relief and pain
