Chapter 140: A good leader listens to others.

Beau.

’’This is quite normal,’’ Eligio mutters.

My mind is not really here. This is eating me up, I feel like we are wasting time. I should be on my way to Cassius. Not here trying to figure out how I Cncan see more of him.

’’You said you can make a stronger connection. How do we do that?’’ Lanis asks him curiously.

Lanis thinks this is the best way. We are on opposite sides 4right now. He wants us to wait for Cassius to come. I want to go to him. I wish we could be on the same sides but you can’t expect perfection when in a relationship. You will have times that you will disagree with your significant other. There will be fights, arguments, all that is normal. I just wish he could agree on this with me. I need him the most right now.

He smiles ’’When you were with Cassius, he took you into his head. showed you things that he wanted to. Somehow, you became attached to his subconscious. That is why you are hearing him right now. You are in his head again. That part that remained even though he pulled you out.’’

I knew all this. that was the only logical reason as to why I was seeing him. I have known this. he needs to tell me something I didn’t know. Something that can help us through all this.

’’So how do we do this?’’ I ask getting inpatient.

We are in the living room of the house, I am seated on the couch next to Lanis. Eligio is standing at a little distance from us. Eligio walks closer to us and stops in front of me ’’I have to get into your head. find that part where he lingers.’’

That sounds like the creepiest thing ever. A part of Cassius is lingering in my head. the man I hate the most. Okay, who am I kidding, Cassius is not the one I hate the most—Fallon is.

He is the only one that hurt me to the point where I feel it in my bones. He is the one I want to kill in cold blood. He is my biggest enemy.

’’Can I?’’ Eligio asks raising his hands up to my head.

I don’t know what he intends to do but he is Lanis’s brother. One of his most trusted people. so I trust him too.

’’sure.’’

He places both of his hands on the sides of my temple and I watch his eyes turn a bright red as he looks at me. slowly, he closes his eyes and now I am staring at him in this awkward silence.

’’I need you to think about Cassius.’’

All I have been doing this couple of days is think about the man. when I wake up, I think about him, when I go to bed, he is in my thoughts. he has completely taken over all my thoughts. This is all driving me crazy. Eligio doesn’t need to tell me to think about him, that is all I have been doing.

’’Close your eyes,’’ the minute I oblige all I see is darkness at first. The kind that leaves no room for any light.. the kind that makes you feel alone. That I show I feel when I think about Cassius. He is a monster, someone that shouldn’t be forgiven.

’’You’re not thinking hard enough.’’ Eligio reprimands me.

I don’t know what he wants me to do. when I think about the guy, I only think about the hatred I have for him. how much I want to kill him, make him suffer for all the suffering he has put me through.

’’What do you want me to do?’’ I ask him because I need a guide on how this works.

’’Think about all the pain he has caused you, how the sound of his voice makes you feel.’’

I inhale a deep breath because he has caused me a lot of pain. he wants to wipe out my whole family, my whole kind like we are some kind of unimaginable mistake.

The darkness that I see starts to fade, slowly I see the underground dungeon. the place I caught a glimpse of. I see the walls, how old looking and dirty they are. I feel an ache in my chest, one that is not coming from me. I have my own fair share of pain. I have lost my whole family, without Lanis, I would be alone but the pain I am feeling right now feels different.

It is not coming from me.

’’It is working,’’ Eliogio mutters excitedly. I can still feel his hands on both sides of my head. it is cold and very detached but whatever he is doing seems to be working.

’’Ready for take-off?’’ I hear Cassius again. The same firm and cold voice as usual. A man walks into the room. I have seen this man before. He was there when Cassius had me captured. This must be his right-hand man.

’’Yes sir,’’ he answers.

I cant see Cassius but I feel him, it is almost like I am seeing things through his eyes. In this dream state, this vision, I am him. so the pain I feel in my chest must be the pain he is feeling. Cassius is a miserable man. Hatred has clouded him completely. Made him into a monster. The only escape from this life that he can get it death; so, me killing him would be a favour. I will be helping him find that escape.

It is the only solution to helping him. There is no redeeming himself. He is too far gone to be saved.

’’Have you spoken to Bade and Brone. Let them know the plan.’’ He tells the man who just nods in admittance.

He has a plan. I know his plan, he is going to attack. I already know all this. .so why am I wasting time here?

’’They are gathering the troops already. I have let them know how serious this is.’’ The right-hand man informs him—in this case, me.

’’You need to let them know how serious this is. A lot of them will end up losing their lives, but rest assured, I will set their links free once this mission is complete.’’

He makes is sound like my pack is the last pack he has to go through. He is not even halfway done.

’’Are we really going to release their links or is this just like the last time?’’

’’You know this will give them the motivation to fight. I can’t have any weakness, this is the last shot we have at taking them all out.’’

Oh wow, so he intends to lie to them and have them work their butts out, thinking they would soon be free. This makes me hate him even more. I need to succeed this time. I can’t have him hurting all those innocent people. we have fucking kids in the pack; they haven’t even lived their lives and one motherfucker wants to come and wipe them all out.

It is unfair.

’’Yes boss,’’ he mutters obediently.

The man walks out of the room and I feel even angrier. Cassius—walks towards the window in the room. It is cage-like and very small but through the window, I see trees and the night sky.

’’I will do this for you, Gyles.’’ He breathes into the night sky. Gyles, his one true love. The boy that died for him. the reason why he is so mad. He is doing all this for someone that I don’t even think would want him to do this. .I remember the boy, he was selfless, he loved Cassius more than his own life and now Cassius or should I say—Roger, grew up to be the opposite of what Gyles would have wanted.

I open my eyes abruptly as Eligio lets go of me, my eyes find Lanis immediately. He had been watching us all through, I could feel him all through the whole ordeal.

’’Cassius is coming back,’’ El mutters.

I already knew this.

’’I know.’’

’’What are we doing about it. We have to be ready when he does.’’

Why does everyone want to wait? Why am I the only one that thinks going to him is the best bet?

’’I want to go to him, that seems like the best bet.’’

Eligio shakes his head ’’How many of us are you going to go with? We are not enough for this fight.’’

I don’t want to take a lot of people with me, I don’t want more people to die. I am tired of all the deaths.

’’This is not the smartest decision. We need more hands. We need as many people as we can get.’’

The pack is already depreciated. We have lost so many people in such a short time.

I don’t know how to make things better. The fact that two people think waiting is the best bet means my decision isn’t. as a leader, I have to listen. I have to think about things before jumping. I can’t think I am the wisest and only follow my ways. Lanis and Eligio are here to help, they have been helping all this while.

I have to listen to others.
