(Today ought to have been a normal day well if...Caius didn't go to school..But he did so it's all chaos now! Tess got a unknown call and she taught it was spam so she declined it again and again but she got frustrated over the repeated calling from other numbers as well so she accepted it and when she heard that Caius had been kidnapped and the voice on the speaker demanded Tess to let Caius be in the assassin guild..Tess was furious, her blood boiling with rage...She enquired with the school authorities and learned that the departure was on 12 pm, a little earlier cause it was their principal's birthday, it was now 5 pm!She knew where the assassin guild was so she dashed and also took Alora with her cause Alora can't be alone in the house anymore..Alora saw that her aunty was frightened so she didn't ask any questions but she knew something was up..Her aunty's rarely frightened and when she is, something's bad gonna happen...They took a taxi and went straight to the assassin's guild more like walking to the tiger's den unarmed...As Tess entered, she was welcomed by her son being tied to a chair and his two kidnappers waving at them with the look in their eyes as if they've got the game on the palm of their hands.)
???: So how about it? Great swordsmen, you let me recruit your son to our guild and his life will be safe.
(Alora learned that her aunt was a swordsmen at that time and a great one at that..)
Tess: Never, not as long as I live!
???: Then it shall be that way.
(Soon, the room was filled with thick purple smoke and when Alora openend her eyes, she found her aunt fighting with the assassins..She just stood there still shook by the fact that her aunt's a great swordsmen..When she came to her senses, she found one of the assassins clenching a knife at her throat..)
???: You either agree or this one's pathetic life is over!
(Alora just punched the assassin's jaw, then she turned around and kicked the man's ba!!s, then just knocked him out..)
Alora: Who are you calling, "pathetic"?
Tess: Way to go kiddo, you indeed fight very well!
(Alora looked around and saw the other assassin already tied to the chair, his head bleeding and Caius was just standing alongside Tess..)
Tess: I thought my son praised you that time cause you're his friend, but it seems like you really got some skills!
Alora: Says the one who didn't tell me they were a swordsmen..
Tess: Oh yeah, about that, first, let's leave this place fast..
(They again took a taxi home...Alora was severely exhausted and drained of energy..Caius was worried for his test. They all were asleep soon..The next days, it was hard for Tess to persuade Alora to forgive her..but you know there are always other ways..)
Tess: You didn't tell me you could fight!
Alora: That's cause you didn't ask!
Tess: You didn't ask either what I did for a living!
Alora: Oh, yeah, right..
Tess: I'm so hurt..Alora didnt tell me she could fight...
Alora: Here, have a cookie! I am sorry..
Tess: Just joking, this cookie's quite good, right?
Alora: Yeah!
(The same day, Alora found a whole box of cookies that she said she liked to aunt Tess in the morning..)
Alora: Aunty! How are we supposed to finish all these!
Tess: They are cookies, they won't spoil so soon!
Alora: Right...
(All of this chaos, Alora kind-of forgot about Lydia as she was too tired to even think!)
