Ky, Kira and Hede were sitting on the couch in Abbadon's study, waiting for him to arrive. The room was on the 1st floor by the library. It had mahogany flooring and stone walls, with 2, large wooden bookcases on the back wall and a large Holo-table on the left wall with 3 medium Holo-screens on the right wall. On the wall near the doors were 4 electric portraits.
The first 2 were of Kira and Ky, both of which were frowning. The third was of Abbadon, also frowning. And the fourth was of Charlotte and Hede. Charlotte was smiling, Hede was not. They had these made a year ago, the year after Charlotte and Hede joined the family.
The group stood around for a bit before the 2 double doors had opened and Abbadon and Sebastian walked into the room.
Abbadon sat at the Holo-table at the head of the room, while Sebastian stood behind his chair.
Abbadon pulled up a logo on the table. It was a red dragon with a long a tail, surrounding its body. Under the dragon was the text 'Trident Foundation'.
"So I've called all of you here because there is something I want." Abbadon said. "4 years ago-
Kira was about to open her mouth to interrupt but Ky beat her to it. "No!" Ky yelled interrupting him. He glared at the logo and said in a quieter voice, "No."
Abbadon glared at him. "This is an important matter, Ky. I'm sure we-"
Again he was interrupted. "I said no! I told you that we would never join the business again."
Abbadon glared harder. "Listen here boy. You will not speak to me that way. I am your father." Ky fumed.
Hede furrowed his eyebrows and leaned towards Kira. "What's happening? What's that logo for. Why is Ky so mad?" He whispered.
Kira whispered back, her face grim. "Lets just say Abbadon is asking us to do the something bad. Again."
"So what? Does that just give you a pardon for all the horrible things you've forced me to do to others?" Ky yelled.
Abbadon slammed his hands on the table and stood up. "That was then, when you were a child. It was only to make you less of a wimp."
Ky absolutely lost it and ran towards Abbadon in attempt to punch him, but was stopped by a pair of big hands. Sebastian grabbed Ky's hands and put them behind his back, then kicking his knee out, making him drop to the floor. Ky struggled against Sebastian's strong grip, but soon stopped.
"That is enough, Young Master Ky. I suggest you cool off in your room." Sebastian said gruffly. Sebastian let go of him and Ky glared at both him and Abbadon, before pushing open the doors and storming out of the room.
"I think you should follow him Hede." Kira said, looking straight at Abbadon.
Hede asked, confused. "Huh, what abo-"
"Go." Kira said.
"Oo-kay?" Hede said as he left the room.
The doors closed and Sebastian stood behind Abbadon once again.
Kira leaned forward. "What the hell was that?"
Abbadon sighed. "I've no idea what you're-"
"What makes you think that we'd ever agree to what you were about to propose?" Kira asked, angrily.
"You didn't even let me finish proposing it." Abbadon barked.
"That logo was enough." Kira seethed.
"Listen, your cooperation is necessary to-"
"To what?" Kira snapped. "Take over the world or start a clan war? Are you completely insane? I thought we made a deal to not talk about this crap again, but here you are, talking. Do you know the consequence of such a decision?"
"This has nothing to do with the Clan." Abbadon snapped back. " And I know very well the consequences, and frankly, I don't think you can go through with it. You wouldn't hurt your own father."
"Then you must not know your daughter very well, because she stopped considering you as her father 4 years ago." Kira stood and walked closer to Abbadon's table.
"Heed my words, Ky and I will not be joining your wretched Trident Foundation again. And you better leave Hede out of it as well, or else I will burn this company to the ground," Kira said coldly.
"and you along with it."
She was now standing in front of Abbadon, who stared at her with rage.
"Prepare an aircraft by tomorrow afternoon. And tell Mrs. Rust that Hede and I are leaving early." Kira said, turning around.
"Sleep well, Abbadon." She left the room.
------------------------------
Kira walked to her bedroom, and was just about to enter when she saw Charlotte come by.
"Do you think I'm an idiot for marrying Abbadon?" Charlotte genuinely asked.
Kira shook her head. "No. I don't."
"Then what do you think?" Charlotte questioned.
Kira pondered the question. "I think that my opinion doesn't matter but, you're no fool for marrying the man that you think you love."
"And what if I don't love him." Charlotte said, a little worried.
Kira smiled. "Mrs. Rust, no offense, but you're talking to 14 year old who knows nothing about love. I'm not the most qualified for this kind of thing."
Charlotte chuckled. "Yes, your right. Goodnight Kira."
"Goodnight Mrs. Rust." Kira said and closed the door behind her.
-------------Abbadon's Study ---------------------------
Abbadon was leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.
"Are we going to pursue the conversation further tomorrow, sir?" Sebastian asked.
"No. Then were really be in trouble." Abbadon said grimly.
"Do you really believe that Miss Kira would do that to you, sir"
Abbadon sighed. "If there's one thing I know about that girl, its that she doesn't bluff."
"So, she'll really tear down the company?" Sebastian asked.
"She will. And if she ever finds out about our true goal, there's a good chance," He looked to Kira's portrait.
"that she'll kill me."
-----------------The next morning---8:30 AM--------------
"What? You're leaving this afternoon." Charlotte said. "You should have told me sooner."
Kira, Ky, Charlotte and Hede were sitting at one the tables outside in the large field in the back of the castle. The servants had brought out their breakfast of French crepes and water.
"Sorry it was on short notice." Kira said, sipping her water. "We made the decision earlier today."
Kira had woken up Hede earlier that morning telling him to pack his bags. After what happened yesterday, she didn't want to stay in this place any longer.
Charlotte stayed quiet for a bit. She whispered to Kira. "You're not leaving because of what we talked about yesterday, are you?"
Kira shook her head. "No, its just that...the house...the kitchen... it.." Kira cursed under her breath. She never was good at lying.
Luckily Ky stepped in. "A pipe broke and the kitchen flooded. They're heading back to help clean up."
"That's horrible. Maybe you should leave sooner." Charlotte voiced.
Kira looked over at Hede. He's been quiet ever since she told him they were going to leave early.
'Does he not want to leave?' Kira thought.
Kira looked to Charlotte. "No. We want to spend more time with you, Mrs. Rust. Me and Hede both." Kira expressed.
Charlotte smiled wide, her eyes tearing up. "That's great!" She wiped her eyes with a napkin that was on the table. "What about you Ky?"
"I'm actually about to leave in about an hour. I'll go visit girlfriend's house and then head back to my college dorm."
"Oh, I...well lets just enjoy the time we still have left together." Charlotte stated. The other three nodded their heads.
They spent the rest of the morning outside or in the living room playing virtual card games. When an hour had passed, Ky had the maids bring his bags downstairs.
He stood in front of the door and hugged them all goodbye before walking out the door.
The next couple of hours were spent walking around the castle, replaying the memories they had there.
When it was their turn to leave, Hede gave his mom a big hug. "Bye mom." Hede said.
"Bye Hede." Charlotte said back.
One of the maids opened the door and Kira stepped out of it, waving to Charlotte as she did.
Hede also waved his goodbye as he walked out of the door. The door closed behind him and they walked to the aircraft, with Sebastian inside of it, in silence.
Hede broke it by asking, "Are you going too tell me why were leaving early?"
Kira sighed. "It's just that Abbadon said something stupid. Don't worry about it to much."
Hede nodded. "...what did he do?" He asked.
"I'll tell you when we get back to the house. Okay?" Kira said.
"Fine."
