TARGET: WYNTER HELLHOUND (HTCS)
{«CHAPTER ONE»}
The dim lighting illuminates a room full of people dressed to the nine
Ball gowns sway about, the clinking of heels echoes
Underneath those lights, a figure walks in
A white mask, as thin as a cicada's wing adorns his face
He moves gracefully, greeting people and offering smiles
Walking to a quiet corner, the smile fades as his eyes turns cold
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: Kai, tell me you got something
A response echoes from his earpiece
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: I'm picking up the live feed from the room
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: He's here
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: Got it
Killian walks out, the smile back in place as he walks towards a man
Then the lights dim some more
People slowly walk out, some holding their partners
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
What da-
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: You seriously didn't expect that you'd attend a masquerade party and not dance, did you?
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: I have a mission *hisses softly*
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: Just dance *shrugs*
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: Remember, they switch partners, you might end up with your target
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Damn it
Killian joins the crowd, his white outfit standing out in the midst of the crowd
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: How long till I reach him?
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: Right about no- What da-
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: What-
A gloved hand grabs onto Killian, steering him across the dance floor
Killian raises his head, his heart almost leaping out of his throat
A man clothed in black. Same outfit as his
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(Amethyst...)
A soft scent wraps around him
Familiar, predatory, possessive
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(No...)
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(He's dead...)
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
It can't be...* mumbles softly*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Hello *smiles softly*
Killian jolts, almost tripping on his own feet
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
You-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
*tilts his head*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
You know me?
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Wh-What?
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
That look...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
You look at me like you know me
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
I don't-
The music picks up, and Killian's partner changes
He raises his head, coming in contact with his target
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(Shit-)
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(Get your fucking head straight Wynter, you don't have time for games)
Killian slips his gloves off, his hand coming in contact with his target
The man jolts at the sudden contact, but he smiles, leaning down slightly to stare at Killian
Killian turns his head, his gaze clashing with a cold one
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
(Wh-Why is he glaring at me)
The dance ends and Killian slips out
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: How long till the serum works?
KAISEN THORNE (MC's brother)(A)
🎧: Ten more minutes
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
🎧: Got it
Killian turns, flinching hard
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Are you scared of me?
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Scared?
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
I don't know you-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Really?
Calix steps forward, his presence dominating the air as Killian stands his ground
Calix slowly takes off his mask, a smile on his face as his eyes seems to pierce through Killian
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
No...*staggers back*
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
You died-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Died? *frowns slightly*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
What are you-
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
You couldn't possibly have turned into a vengeful ghost...
Calix leans down, his eyes cold and haunting
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
So you do know me❄️❄️
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
I don't
Killian shove past him, slipping into the room
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
Calix follows, only to stumble upon a scene
A man clutches his neck, his face turning white as his lips turns blue like someone dying from the cold
His eyes roll back as he collapses
Then a man steps out, and checks the pulse. His face pales over as he scrambles back
His gaze locks on to Killian who calmly slips through the crowd without being noticed
Killian turns, stares at the man for a few seconds before disappearing
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
Calix stares down at the glove in his hand
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
📲: I need you to look into something for me
He ends the call, gripping the glove tightly
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Ah!
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
This will be interesting
Author-ssi
Alright hoomans, as usual, get your tissues ready
Author-ssi
See you in the long run🙂
{«CHAPTER TWO»}
To the world, it's just a company
But to those who know, it's much more than that...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
I know what y'all are thinking *leans back*
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
"What the fuck is this guy thinking? "
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
I know, some of you are supposed to be on vacation right now
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Sorry to burst your bubble, we have a mission and I need people on board
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
How crazy is this mission exactly?
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Well...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
I wouldn't say crazy...*chuckles softly*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
You only do that laugh of yours when shit's about to get real
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Okay, I need four B-class, Four A-class and you *points at Calix*
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Our only S-class
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Is it the end of the world?
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Well, not yet
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
So, you made your pick?
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Yeah *hands over a folder*
Calix skims through the list, his eyes turning cold
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Commander...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
There's something wrong with your list *waves the clipboard*
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Nope, it's-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Incomplete
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Where's Lian?
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
He's not-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
I withdraw❄️❄️
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
You can't-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
I can❄️❄️
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
I just did❄️❄️
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
What's the rank on this mission though?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
No offense to you Hellhound, but maybe it's a bit overrated-
The holographic screens lit up with a single letter
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
So the Hellhound wants to take his Wynter, what's the hassle about?
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Do you change faces this fast?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Aye! Don't say it like that
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
You want to send a psychopath on a mission, and you want him to leave behind his antidote?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Nah, I'm with them on this one
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Or you're just scared of death
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Yeah, that too
Kayne chuckles as he hides his head
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Tch!
The door swings open at this time as Killian walks in
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
What's with the tension?
Calix practically lit up like a thousand watts light bulb
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Nothing
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
A mission just came in *waves the clipboard*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
We're going together
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Really?
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Of course!
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Let's go pack up
Just like that, Killian gets dragged away before Yun can say anything
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Just accept it commander
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Last time you sent him on a mission without Wynter, he almost killed everyone
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Friends and Foes alike *shivers slightly*
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
I almost saw my ancestors, and I'm not ready to receive a beating from those deadlings
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Alphas and Betas don't mix
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
How long will their relationship last
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Are you seriously asking me that-
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
They joined the organization at the age of Fourteen
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
They got together at sixteen
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
It's been seven years
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
You think something can shake their relationship?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
That'll be the day
Everyone nods as they make their way out of the room
Yun frowns slightly as he stares at the clipboard
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
An S-class and an A-class...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
The risk is too high...
JUN YUN (leader of J. Y)(A)
Their relationship...
{«CHAPTER THREE»}
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
So, you actually brought him along
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
It's not my fault you don't have a partner
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
That's not the point!
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Also, I know they said this mission was going to be dangerous
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
But why didn't anyone tell me we had to infiltrate a fucking island!?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
A private island!
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Somewhere we have zero jurisdiction
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Do we ever have jurisdiction anywhere?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Fair point
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
But how the hell are we going to infiltrate the place?
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
I mean, they can definitely us coming cause for starters- *points upwards*
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
We're in a fucking chopper
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Who said we were going in low-key? *tilts his head*
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Dear heavens, I commit my life into your hands
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
This bastard has gone mad!
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Heh! *chuckles loud*
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Don't worry, no one's dying
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Not tonight
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Let's go
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Mm
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Wait-
Two figures perform a free fall, their bodies disappearing into the night
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
...
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
What the fuck!
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
Hey!
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
You're supposed to be leading the mission!
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
You can't just go solo with your husband-
KAYNE SYLVIA (A)(Midnight)
God damnit
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Maybe we should have taken-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
No
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
We have something else to do
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
What's that?
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
A mission within a mission?
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Heh!
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
My little boyfriend is really smart
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
...
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Yes, a mission within a mission
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
There's a research laboratory underneath this place
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
We need to get the core data for their research, destroy their progress and return with one of the scientists
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Alive or-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Alive Tetlim, we need to keep him alive *laughs softly*
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
All right
The two figures move quietly through the island, evading security, getting passed soldiers
They soon arrive at their destination
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
Are you sure there's a-
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
They couldn't do their jobs without raising any alarms?
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Tsk!
Calix grabs on to Killian
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
Stay beside me
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
I can't lose sight of-
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
I know
They thread into the only building on the island, arriving at the basement
They pause for a brief moment, analyzing the door in front of them
Killian moves forward, smashing the automated security system into pieces
CALIX SNOW (ML)(DA)(HELLHOUND)
...
KILLIAN THORNE (MC)(DO)(WYNTER)
