F4ct3r was resting while M10ns0rn only took a short nap before going out. He was going to attack one of the last two bases. While he was gone F4ct3r woke when the guard delivered the papers from the base he had been wounded in. Since all he could really do while he recuperated was read files and papers. One file then caught his eye that was labeled “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”. Opening the file he read through the papers. As he read he then blinked, reading the paper again like what was written on it was just his imagination. When it said exactly what he thought he blinked again. If he weren’t already lying down he would have to sit down, reading it a third time. “Progress report: have not heard from him for a year now. It is to be assumed it is because he had been unable to sneak away for meetings. It is also assumed he still has the dagger given to him. His orders remain the same, gain F4ct3r’s trust by any means necessary, and then kill him.” He then turned the page to read more but when he found nothing he laid back and thought, “M10ns0rn… I should have known it was too good to be true…”
He growled softly but he was also hurt. To think he had thought M10ns0rn was his friend, when in truth he was only there to gain his trust, then stab him in the back, quite literally. M10ns0rn was a Hanran… he was one of them… Just as F4ct3r finished reading it all he looked up at M10ns0rn returning. Who was only to be greeted by F4ct3r’s anger.
“Where have you been? Meeting with your secret friends?” F4ct3r growled while M10ns0rn blinked in surprise and confusion. Seeing his confusion F4ct3r then tossed the file onto the table, as he stood, unable to contain his anger.
“Perhaps you would care to explain? Or will all I hear is lies? They call your little operation wolf in sheep’s clothing. Well guess what wolf, the sheep just caught on to you!”
M10ns0rn blinked and stuttered, F4ct3r continuing.
“Was everything over the last year a lie?  Why you came back! Your concern when I got hurt! What we said in our talks! Being my friend… Everything! All of it, a lie? Just so you could kill me!”
“N-n-no! It-It’s not-“
M10ns0rn tried to stutter out a reply but couldn’t as F4ct3r then fell back onto the couch, having drained too much energy, so since he was too weak to do anything else he said coldly to M10ns0rn,
“Just get out… consider yourself lucky that I’m allowing you to keep your life… I once thought you were my friend, that’s what saving you now. Don’t make me regret my decision… Now get out, and pray that if I ever see you again I will have mercy upon you, or else I will kill you…”
M10ns0rn didn’t know what to reply, all his words caught in his throat. After everything he had done for F4ct3r, training every day for the last year, showing him kindness, killing Hanran for him. How could F4ct3r think he was still out to kill him? Yes, he had come there originally to kill him, but things changed, he didn’t want to hurt F4ct3r, let alone kill him. F4ct3r however never let him say any of this before guards came to escort him out, and as they pushed him toward the door he looked back at F4ct3r. Years of bearing the weight on his shoulders of knowing people wanted him dead, then learning his friend had been one of them was just a bit too much for F4ct3r, but he kept the same cold expression until M10ns0rn was out the door. His only friend had only been there to kill him as far as he concerned, and he hid his face in his hands.
The slamming of the palace gate echoed in M10ns0rn’s ears as he walked away from the palace, looking back one more time, he felt numb, too shocked by it all to have a proper response. Where would he go now? If he went back to the Hanran they would try to kill him, he was still the prince to them after all, and if they didn’t kill him now that he was back on the streets they would probably try to get him to become the king of the Hanran or something. He couldn’t go home because he had no home… not now that he had been kicked out of the palace. For now though, he would just put his mask back on and sighed as he then walked into the darker streets of the city he knew so well.
