"Go!" Nana Ester pushed them towards a car while handing them their weapons she grabbed while they were running. The three have no other choice but to follow her. “Check on Tita Vicky. And also, look for Leysie.” Taylor said before going inside the car. She quickly drove away when the two were inside. “It’s been a while being a frog in the well. Time to become the lion that hunts the forest.” Taylor said and looked at the two. “Are you prepared?” she asked Briana. Briana nodded. “We will attack the prey in his own den.” Taylor said and drove to the direction of the academy. Taylor drove faster than Demethry so they arrived at the academy first. She had unsheathed Phoenix and Raven. Nathanya was left unconscious in the car after Taylor knocked her out. She had no other choice but to do so. "Hello Ashton! Did you missed me?" Taylor asked the moment they entered Demethry's office and found Ashton there. Ashton was caught off guard so Taylor was able to slash his leg. He let out a cry of pain because of that. “Does it hurt?” Taylor asked while walking around him, who was now crawling for his life. “Taylor please. Have mercy on me. Please. I am begging you.” Ashton pleaded but Taylor just smirked. “When you killed my mom, my dad and my two brothers, did you considered sparing them? Have you thought of not proceeding to kill them?” she asked coldly. Briana was also very mad at the corner but she’s trying to keep everything inside for now. “I… I have no other choice. I… I just follow instructions. Please… spare me and I will never ever forget this.” Ashton continued begging and explaining. “Wrong. You got two choices there Ashton. You just have to choose between the two, obey or disobey. But sadly, you chose to obey. You destroyed our lives!” Briana yelled. She can’t hold it in anymore so she loaded her crossbow and fired it at Ashton’s left leg. It stabbed deep that almost sent Ashton to insanity because of the pain. Taylor didn’t stopped her nor did she say a word. She just stood there, watching Briana as she loses everything. “You know what’s the plan now? It is ‘Kill you first, then your boss’.” Briana continued and reloaded her crossbow. “Do you know how painful it is to see my sister die in my lap?” she asked then released the arrow. It hit Ashton’s right leg and the latter wailed out of pain. “It’s more painful than that.” she then whispered to him and pressed the wound that was given to him by Taylor. “Just… just kill me already. I can’t take it anymore!” Ashton begged. Taylor once again smirked and it was scarier than what she showed earlier. “Aren’t you begging us to spare you a while ago? What’s with the rush? Stay with us for a while. Let’s play.” Taylor said then squatted. She pulled out the smaller dagger that was attached to the handle of Phoenix. She slightly tapped Ashton’s face using it. “Do you remember this dagger?” she then asked him but he just shook his head. He was still trying to crawl away from Taylor. “Yeah. I guess so. It’s been ten years since you last used it. This dagger is the very same dagger you used to stab my dad on his throat and the same dagger you used to stab my mom on her chest.” She then told him and Ashton trembled because of pain and fear. “How about I use it to skin you alive? Wouldn’t that be nice?” Taylor asked and hardened the supposed to be tap on Ashton’s face. Blood flowed out of the wound caused by his very own dagger. Taylor then stood up and picked up Raven. She swayed the katana from left to right, leaving deep cuts on Ashton's flesh. Ashton is going crazy because of the pain. When Raven had given him eighty cuts, he finally couldn't take it anymore so he grabbed the dagger he used to kill Taylor's parents and slashed his own throat, blood coming out of his mouth. Taylor and Briana just watched him kill himself. "One more devil to go and everyone's deceased family will finally be at peace." Briana said and wiped the tears that rolled down her cheek. She then sat down on the couch near the desk where Demethry works while Taylor sat at Demethry’s seat. They remained like that for almost half an hour before some noise outside finally surfaced. “Let me go! I said let me go! You are not my father!” a child cries as the noise keeps on coming nearer and nearer. Soon, the door opened. “The child asks you to let her go Demethry. Have you gone deaf?” Taylor asked when the two entered the office. Demethry looked around and found the bloody body of Ashton. “Well deserved. Traitor!” he exclaimed before facing the two intruders, who were sitting comfortably. “What are you doing there at my seat?!” he asked Taylor, who just looked at him with her sharp eyes, the killing intent being evident in her phoenix eyes.
“Nothing. Just trying to feel the vibe of being the mastermind behind everything after all this time.” she sarcastically answered. She then eyed Leysie. “And you’re even dragging an innocent child along you.” she added. Leysie finally managed to break free from his grip and she ran towards the direction of Briana and Taylor. “You must not be informed. That child is my daughter.” Demethry said, driving the other two into confusion. Briana even pulled Leysie behind her and covered her. Meanwhile, Nathanya was finally awake from passing out. The back of her head hurts a lot and she was surprised to see herself tied there like a captured animal. “What does Ate Venice think? Does she see herself as the hunter while I was her prey?” she asks herself while doing her best to break free from the rope that was tied around her.
