Chapter 202 - Black News

Riley stood watching the skies, arms folded, saying the news to Sean was a shock to him, she knew how he felt, this was a truth they will have to live with. Doomsday was coming, a crisis they were unaware of until the very last minute, she will do what she can to assist Liam, which is why their plan has to work.

"You bargained with Omari... didn't you?" Anubis appeared beside her from nowhere.

Riley turns to him, facing the unusual tall man.

"How did you know?" She asked puzzled.

"I don't feel Lord O'Brien's shared Claw in you, which means the consummation didn't happen" he states facing her.

"Well it did happen but not the Claw sharing one" Riley said facing the view back.

"You knew didn't you" she said for certain as she faced him back.

"You knew about Doomsday"

"I only just figured it out, I never knew the battle Omari himself prophesied will come to pass and the price it will take" Anubis said.

"You have to be strong lady O'Brien" he adds.

"You have to be strong for your people, you're their queen".

Riley gulps hard at his words.

"Where is he? Can you tell where Liam is?" She asked.

Anubis sighs.

"I'm afraid I can't, his aura is faint, I'm sure Omari is masking it up pretty well... he's awaiting, awaiting for the destined day"

"Doomsday" Riley said for certain.

"But how will we know when it's the day? How will we be prepared for it"

"When Apophis choose his vessel" Anubis said sternly.

Riley gulps hard, she could still remember the snake image she saw in Omari's eyes, how great was this foe? That Omari couldn't even defeat him during his time but rather sealed himself away, only for Apophis to break free... wait the seal.

"How was the seal broken... yes you said Omari prophesied doomsday but like you said you were certain it would actually happen" she demands.

"Ths seal was broken the day both of your awoken your powers as Silver Clover and Ghost Clover... it was also a beacon that called the uncalled" he states.

"Then why did Liam's father went through so much to awaken us if it will put us in such mess" Riley said pissed, she hated this... she hated everything.

"Lord O'Brien 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.

Suddenly a feeling overwhelmed Anubis body, the aura that came with it shock his body, it was familiar and somewhat 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.

To her surprise he placed a hand on her stomach, she froze at his actions.

"You are pregnant, Lady O'Brien" Anubis said elated.

Riley froze as her eyes widen in shock, her lips went apart slightly unable to say the right words to describe this moment.

Anubis retreats his hand.

Riley placed hers on her flat stomach, she felt a movement, a slight jolt, she gasps as she smiled, Ghoul babies had the habit of being wild in the stomach, it was another different thing about them.

"It's great news, Lady obrien, you bear the future" he states.

"And I will protect it" Riley said sternly.

Skyscraper Building

Heels clicking could be heard along the halls. Riley walks dressed on a black short gown that hung 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 steps into the wide office, smirking.

"Hello Mr. President" she said in amusement staring at the men before her.

The president and the officials present were stunned, they came solely for the meeting because a business woman happened to donate a huge sum of money to their long holding project... not knowing it was the ghoul Queen herself.

"We have have 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 as he scattered the papers on the

his table to the ground.

"What do you mean the government are no longer supporting us!" Vincent hissed pissed, 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.

"LEAVE!" he barked.

Quivering in fear she dash out.

Vincent picks up his phone dialing the president line, it rang and rang but he didn't pick.

In rage, he slammed 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 some kind of strings to get the government on his side but how was he able to pull such an impossible thing off.

Vincent

He froze when he heard a voice, he looks around in his wide office but he was alone.

Vincent 

The faint voice came again, he looks around once more but still nothing.

Vincent

It came again but this time he was able to detect where it was coming from and it was coming from his mirror?

In confusion and alert he walks towards the majestic mirror at a corner, he only saw his reflection but a voice came from it.

Vincent

He stood right in front of his reflection, nothing was unusual but the voice that came from it.

He raised his hand to reach for it but then his eyes widen in shock, his reflection didn't do the same action but rather it stood still with a smirk against his lips.

"Vincent Jones" he said in a dark deep demonic voice that sent a shiver than his spine.

"Who are you?"
