Chapter 202: Black News
"Lord O’Brien’s father only did what he was destined to do... the rest fell into place according, I have no say in this matter... but your awakening also gave a spark of hope to ghouls and many good things"
Riley sighs holding her head, it was a hard truth she will have to embrace sooner or later, but she wasn’t so sure her head could contain this further, she has been telling herself a number of tis to be strong ever since Liam left, but those were words.
She felt like a part of herself was dying.
Suddenly a feeling overwheld Anubis’ body, the aura that ca with it shocked his body and pulsed his veins, this wasn’t about Doomsday like he felt earlier... This was different and familiar and sowhat strange. The realization struck him.
"Lady O’Brien," he said, startled.
Riley faced him puzzled.
"May I?"
"May I what?" She said getting more confused by the Ghoul druid’s actions, he seed overly curious even though she could see his face, it hinted in his voice and he got her wondering what captured his attention.
To her surprise he placed a hand on her stomach, she froze at his actions.
"You are pregnant, Lady O’Brien" Anubis said elatedly.
Riley froze as her eyes widened in shock, her lips went apart slightly unable to say the right words to describe this mont.
Anubis retreats his hand.
Riley placed hers on her flat stomach, she felt a movent, a slight jolt, and she gasped as she smiled. Ghoul babies had the habit of being wild in the stomach, it was another different thing about them.
Just a few monts ago he was brawling about losing her sanity without Liam, she wasn’t sure she would survive it, but now with this infant growing within her, she felt a new power coursed through her veins, and her resolve was stronger than ever.
She was almost teary from this newfound joy, if only Liam was here to experience it too.
"It’s great news, Lady O’Brien, you bear the future" he states.
Yes, she did, this was a new light for them. "And I will protect it," Riley said sternly.

Heels clicking could be heard along the halls. Riley walks dressed in a black short gown that hangs her body perfectly, her long red hair packed up neatly. Sean behind her dressed formally, along with five other ghouls behind them.
They got to a door as it was opened by a guard, Riley stepped into the wide office, smirking.
"Hello Mr. President," she said in amusent, staring at the n before her.
The president and the officials present were stunned, they ca solely for the eting because a businesswoman happened to donate a huge sum of money to their long holding project... not knowing it was the ghoul Queen herself.
They were rely tensed where they were and the guards were up and about to attack at a pointless fight.
"There will be no need for that" Riley spoke strongly, making them freeze in place that she even detected their smallest movent.
"I have co here to talk and not to fight" her eyes were back on the president practically frozen on his seat and already sweating profusely.
"We have a lot of catching up to do," Riley said, stepping in fully along with the others behind her as the door shut behind.

Section 25
New Agency Location
Vincent roared in spite as he scattered the papers on his table to the ground, before flipping the table.
"What do you an the governnt is no longer supporting us!" Vincent yelled in rage, his body boiling with anger.
"I don’t know sir, the supplies stopped, the new recruits stopped coming" his secretary explained.
What the fuck was going on? How can the governnt in weeks turn against them? They needed their support to keep running, even though Vincent had the power but he needed the law to make his work effective so that he could bend it to his will with the governnt at his side... but now? Sothing doesn’t feel right!
"LEAVE!" he barked.
Quivering in fear she dashes out.
Vincent picks up his phone dialing the president’s line, it rang and rang but he didn’t pick up, oh sothing was wrong alright, the governnt has turned their back on him!
In a rage, he slamd the phone on the ground as it smashed to pieces.
"Liam O’Brien," he said darkly, this must be his doing, he must have pulled so kind of strings to get the governnt on his side but how was he able to pull such an impossible thing off? Humans resented ghouls, so just how, how was he able to bend it?
Vincent was in a pit of rage and all he saw was red, they have got him good with this one, whatever Liam did must be good, he must have set his roots in a way they couldn’t resist, but he wasn’t a bargaining type, that was why Vincent had nothing to worry about, so just how?
He growled once again, wanting to smash sothing.
’Vincent’
He froze when he heard a voice, he looked around in his wide office but he was alone.
’Vincent’
??reewebηove??
The faint voice ca again, but this ti more profound in his every ear, almost like soone stood behind him, he was forced to turn but nothing to be seen.
’Vincent’
It ca again, echoing in his head and he was forced to clench it tightly because the re voice made his insides turn and the danger that lay before it, evident. How can a voice so faint cause this much terror to his body?
’Vincent’
His body was shocked and he was forced and eager to sort the source of this voice, almost like his body won’t settle until he do so, so he tried to remain calm and detect, he felt it... almost like an unusual pull he has never encountered before, he had walked through several phases of danger... but this was entirely different.
The voice ca from... his mirror?
