《Vampire's Betrayal》Chapter Five
Advertisement
The look on Boss's face as I charged into his office, only pissed me off more. It was like he was annoyed that I was interrupting whatever he was doing. Ignoring him looking at me, I sat down in one of the chairs across from him. I stared him down with my arms crossed across my chest. Making him stop whatever he was doing and sit back in the chair he was sitting in with a heavy sigh.
"What is it, Leah?" he said annoyed.
I smiled at him, "I just need some things explained to me and depending what the answers are will determined if I still want to be a part of this family."
He raised an eyebrow, "Now I'm intrigued."
"First explain how someone like you can walk away from your crimes while Donny is sent to death?" I flat out asked.
Boss's face became a complete mask of emotionlessness. It was hard to read what he was thinking as he answered, "Donny killed his own father."
"You killed your sister. I don't see how that is any different," I told him. Anger flashed in his eyes but it was gone as fast as it appeared, "Of course you didn't get your hands dirty. You just told her the right thing to make her get on that rooftop with Ricky. What did you say to her, by the way?"
Boss continued to sit silently at the desk. He didn't say a word and I was starting to think he was slowly turning into a statue. It was a moment where I had wished I knew what was running through his mind as I asked him these questions.
"If you don't want to answer that. At least answer the one question that has been picking at my brain since I realized that you were the real traitor in the family," I said as I leaned closer to him, "Why did you ruin so many people's lives?"

I didn't expect him to answer the question. It would have been too easy. Boss was someone who kept secrets and there wasn't going to be a way for him to talk.
Standing up, I gave up trying to make him confess any crime he had done, "I've had it with this family."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Boss asked as if he didn't understood what I was getting at. But looking at him more told me that he understood completely.
"I'm not your prisoner here," I told him as I walked towards the office door, "I can leave whenever I want. The only rule is that I can't return to my hometown."
"And where do you plan to go? This family is all you have now," he asked in a tone that made my skin crawl. It was like he really believed that I had no where to go. That all I could rely on to survive was the Seadonna Family. I was about to give him the one answer he probably didn't expect me to give.
"I'll just have to join the enemy you created," I told him as I slowly opened the door. But his next set of words made me freeze.
"If that is the case, you can't take them with you," he said. I could hear him stand up from he chair and walk around the desk. But I refused to face him, "The twins stay here for their own protection."
I have never wanted to kill someone in my whole life until now. It was interesting that it was a time like this that Boss showed his true colors. His manipulative behavior is probably why he was still in charge of the family instead of Ricky.

Facing him, I glared. My heart breaking with the thought of being forced to abandon my own children. The two family members that actually mattered to me. I couldn't protect them from this evil man and take them with me. Knowing Boss he would come up with a way to make sure the twins stayed and I was locked away.
"You know what, Boss?" I said with a serious tone, "Fuck you."
And with that I left his office and headed back to my room. Texting Derik the whole way there.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
