Chapter 257 - War of Silver and Red (5)

"Umm, please believe I am a red blood. I just have a little power that's all, I'm not really in complete control of them and that's why I ended up her." Gaze said nervously.

Vivian had told her that the Silvers had erased a lot of the past, the enslaved Reds were forced to forget about the existence of the Red Queen. They don't know that she exists and a lot of what they know is forced upon them by the Silvers.

"I'm sorry." Gaze said as she touched the table with her bare hands and jumped back, the whole table turned into a field of baby flowers. She honestly can't completely control it sometimes and then this happens. "I'm Sorry" she said again, panicking this time.

"Miss Dawn, Please-" Charlie walked up to her and tried to calm her down went he touched her and dropped down.

"Ummm" Gaze looked at the kneeled down man, who went quiet. She wondered if this is what happens when a red Guard is created. "Are you okay, Mr. Taylor" she backed up, given the man some distance from her. Vivian did the same thing, she recalled,

"Charlie, man, you good."

The man called Charlie nodded as he stood up, he seemed to be in a daze.

"Mr.Taylor, this happens every time I touch a Red blood. Vivian says that a single touch from me can grant you a little bit of my power. But that is all that she would tell me. What did you feel?"

"…." The others stared at her for a second and then looked at their friend who was still dazed and not answering.

"Okay, that's it." Jonathan said as he walked toward Gaze, he was the closet and only gave her a tap when he to fell to his knees.

'Just from a single touch' Gaze nervously looked down at the second person who also appears to be dazed.

"Are guys alright? The H***, aren't you answering for." Luke said impatiently, he the walked over to Gaze with a pair of leather gloves. "Here, young lady. You may cause some mayhem if you walk around touching anything. So, wear these" Gaze quickly put on the gloves. As she did her clothes started to glow and change

She is now in a casual outfit that fit the standers of the red bloods enslaved by the silvers. Gaze had a blank stare, she was frozen along with the people in the tavern except for the two daze idiots.

"None, of you saw anything did you" she said with a trembling tone. She watched them turned their faces away slightly red. Gaze's eyes glistened a little and she went red with embracement.

A month later…..

Gaze was walking around in a servant outfit, she was rather worn, she had no way to contact Vivian. Charlie has taken off to go and communicate her whereabouts, to Vivian, he went alone just in case something happened.

Lucas took her in and got her a temporary job as a cover up, so, no one gets suspicious. Jonathan had been building up a resistance on his own, once Charlie is able to establish contact, they will form up together.

Outside the door to one of the silver nobility who was surrounded watching the TV. Gaze was playing close attention. The newscaster returns, paler than ever. Someone whispers to her offscreen and she shuffles through her notes, her hands shaking. "It seems that an organization has taken responsibility for the Opal bombing," she says, stumbling a bit.

Jonathan when he raised enough forces in the Capital and surrounding cities, began to attack the Silvers in bombing and petty terroristic attacks.

Gaze didn't like this but also couldn't voice her opinion to stop, because this is war and this has to do with the 800 year old treatment of a race. On her second day in the capital Gaze, saw and execution of a Red Blood by the Silvers.

The youth was protecting his younger sister, and both died because of them noble burned them alive with his power. She wanted to save them but Lucas held her back and was pulling her away.

The Image still haunts her.

"A terrorist group calling themselves the Scarlet Guard released this video moments ago."

"The Red Guard?" said a young girl's voice, one of the silver blood children

"Who the hell —?" "Some kind of trick—?" and other confused questioned No one has heard of the Red Guard before.

"We are the Red Guard" Said Jonathan's voice on screen. He yelled confident words while screaming, cheering where sounding out. "You believe you are the masters of the world, but your reign as kings and gods is at an end. The Return of the Queen, her majesty of Red Roses. You shall see our furry!"

Another thing Jonathan has been doing promoting her to the Silvers. Taking this queue, Gaze leaves quickly the capital is about to become a blood bath. It doesn't take her long to leave the silver nobles home and disappear into an alley. She can already hear the screaming behind her.

Entering Lucas alley, she hides in a corner, as "What is the Red Guard?" the Silver yells into the face of a red blood. "Who are they?" Before the Red can answer, a spray of water pounds against him, stronger than falling hammers. The silver raises a hand and the water rises up, splashing him again. Silvers surround the scene, jeering with glee, cheering him on.

Gaze started to crying in pain as if the Red's suffering was also hers.

The Red sputters and gasps, trying to catch his breath. He proclaims his innocence with every spare second, but the water keeps coming, drowning him. Lucas pulls her into the Tavern, and quickly shields her from the sight.

She trembles and starts to cry, without being their she can see them suffering, she can hear their cries. Her Vison takes off into the streets. Officers run back and forth in the street—they don't know what to do or who to protect. A few round up Reds, forcing them to their knees. They shiver and beg, repeating over and over that they don't know anything.

Gaze gives silent muffles as she sees them unjustly killed. She held herself together not realizing her powers are going haywire causing a huge storm. A storm which raged lighting that struck and instantly killed silvers indiscriminately.

She hears Lucas trying to keep her calm, but she just couldn't keep calm. Eventually she saw something that made her run and outside towards the plaza. Silvers where targeting children now too, she was fast and so when she reached the plaza.

She put herself in a protective stance before them. "Separating the officers and the children" They smirked with faces full of confidence, thinking less of her as they approached. IN the back of her mind she heard a soft familiar voice.

"Repeat after me" it said so close to her ear. "Powers that be, protect me, turn me into something I'm not."

Gaze quietly repeated what she heard in a language that doesn't have sound. Afterwards, the officers raised their guns ready to fire cruelly. "How dare you" She said in a wobbling voice, tremors began and the storm rage even more violently, as more and more silver gathered around the plaza. The other silvers froze, Gaze glowed.

Another Silver popped he seemed stronger then the officers and he took up a stance to protect his comrades as Gaze's glowing light expanded and consumed the whole area.
