The Life Hacker System - 37 Getting The Truth From Aurora

Taka sat thinking for a time before finally getting his head back on straight and pulling himself out of his thoughtful slump.

‘Time to find out who’s got Maya and where she is. Then I can deal with infusing my new abilities.’

Standing from his chair, he made his way towards the door. Opening it he found Fen waiting for him patiently. Smiling he spoke.

“Why are you waiting out here? You could’ve come in you know.”

Fen raised her head and nudged her nose into Taka.

“You seemed otherwise engaged, so I just decided to wait.”

Taka grinned awkwardly stroking Fen’s head before apologising.

“Sorry, something came up and I was a little worn out after the fight.”

‘Thankfully she doesn’t know about my skills otherwise I’d be screwed with that excuse.’ Thought Taka.

Fen growled in comfort as Taka stroked her. While he smiled, basking in the softness of her fur.

Soon though his expression turned serious; almost sinister.

“I think it’s about time we made a visit to our guest, don’t you Fen?”

A growl could be heard in agreement. If Taka had been paying closer attention to Fen’s face, he would’ve noticed the vicious smirk starting to appear on her face.

Taka made his way toward Aurora’s room, as he did, Fen jumped at him shrinking down to a miniature vision of herself landing firmly on his head.

‘Well that’s new.’ Thought Taka, slightly surprised at the fact Fen could change her size but just shrugged it off as normal.

In Aurora’s room

Aurora’s POV

–

Aurora was pacing up and down in her room trying to calm her thoughts but she was failing miserably. After the nightmarish encounter with Fen she’d been in a panic. If it was just Taka she had to deal with, despite him being strong she could have dealt with it but with the additional factor of Fen the situation had exploded beyond the limits of her control.

The encounter with Fen kept springing up in her mind. Repeatedly tormenting her, even now her fear still hadn’t relented.

The people who had sent her here had well and truly messed up. Not only had they messed up the information on Taka and his strength alone but where they had fucked up completely was with his allies.

Panic began to set in as her fear began to bubble back to the surface of her thoughts.

Just as she couldn’t get any more nervous, footsteps were heard getting closer and closer to her room. Her heart rate shot through the roof as the shuffling of feet became louder until they stopped.

The handle of the door clicked as the door opened and a silhouette stepped into the room.

Back to Taka

–

Stepping into the room he was quick to notice that Aurora was nervous but he could see that it was more than just nervousness, she showed fear, suffocating amounts of fear which appeared to be thickening the more she stared.

What surprised him was that she wasn’t focusing on him but Fen on his head, though Fen wasn’t bothered by it one bit and kept resting.

Aurora’s POV

–

Seeing the silhouette stepping into the room her nervousness grew by leaps and bounds but finally seeing Taka stand there she calmed down slightly. Standing there was no longer the 2 metre tall giant bipedal wolf but a tall, well-built handsome teenager whose eyes glowed silver and gold as the sunlight bounced off them.

Her nerves had begun to calm only for her to notice the creature on his head. All her fear returned and multiplied, she knew exactly what that creature was and just how powerful in was; though it didn’t seem the teen in front of her did.

Her gaze never left Fen for fear that she may do something. Feeling the gaze on her Fen opened her one eye, looking back at Aurora, the look saying one word ‘behave’.

Any thought Aurora had of lying or trying to be deceitful toward Taka in any way quickly vanished with the wind.

–

Taka quickly got down to business.

“So who are you?….”

“Who sent you?….”

“What was your purpose in coming here?…”

“Where is Maya?”

–

The next hour passed slowly for Aurora as she revealed all the information Taka wanted. He quickly found out that her name was Aurora though he already knew that. He found out the people who sent her were an organisation made up of supernatural of all varieties, which was headed by a royal family of sorts, more specifically two Queens. Aurora wasn’t sure who they were as she’d never met them due to her rank in the organisation not being high enough to meet them.

Taka also found out her purpose for being there. She was meant to capture or kill him depending on her findings. When Taka had asked how they knew about him, he’d found out they’d been observing him for a while, even before he’d awoken in this world and after the incident at the research lab it had only confirmed their suspicions; he was more than human.

The last piece of information he’d got was the most important, the location of Maya. What surprised Taka was that everything she’d said during the fight was nonsense. The organisation wouldn’t hurt Maya, it was against their rules and as far as Maya knew she was at a luxury hotel being spoilt with a few days of spa days from a ‘competition’ she’d entered. She was none the wiser.

Hearing that Taka calmed down massively, knowing Maya was safe put his mind to rest but that still didn’t put his suspicion to rest. He’d learnt the hard way from his previous life just how shadowy organisations, like the one Aurora was describing were, mainly because he was involved in most of the shadowy business; so he knew how they operated.

Finally getting the location of their headquarters he set Aurora free and on her way but not before giving her a letter to send back to the Queens of the organisation.

Dear your Queenynesses,

I don’t like being fucked with.

Next time you want to send someone to kill me be prepared for the consequences because I won’t be so nice next time.

I’ll be making a visit to your royal establishment soon, so put the banners out and await the great me.

Oh and make sure Maya is safe because if she’s not be prepared to be DESTROYED.

Yours sincerely,

Taka-The bringer of Ragnarok

P.S

Fen says hi.

P.P.S

Fen says she’s coming with me when I visit.

P.P.P.S

Fen says she doesn’t like you guys.

Knowing that Maya was safe and with the message sent Taka had one thing left to do.

‘I think it’s about time to infuse my new abilities then we’ll go visit those royals.’
