Mercenary Escort, Pirate Attack Part 2

The night was passing by and the Fleet of ships that was heading to the southern ASEAN islands, Most of the people were sleeping and some were either doing there own things. Leo who was currently on the top part of the Frigate was looking at the sky, He was all alone while looking at the bright moon.

While looking at the moon Leo who was thinking about a lot of things notice someone staring at him, He then quickly realize and had a gentle smile on his face. Looking at the dark corner Leo spoke as if knowing someone was there.

"Alex, I found you." Leo said towards the dark corner while smiling, Sneaking on him is the biggest mistake anyone would do. Even a satellite couldn't spy him since his instinct is focus on protecting his identity, A while after Leo spoke a shadow came from the dark corner and it was a white silver haired girl.

"Leo, How did you find me?" Alex said while pouting, She was learning stealth on her own but it seems that Leo was very powerful. Seeing the cute Alex pouting due to the failure of her sneaking, Leo just didn't bother why Alex was sneaking on the dark corner and spoke with a chuckle.

"Secret, But when did you learn that skill." Leo was curious on how Alex manage to learn that kind of skill, He was trusting on his instincts and to be honest he didn't see anything that signifies Alex. He just use his guts to pinpoint the location, Something that could make him do this must be a powerful skill.

"It is a Secret." Alex countered Leo with a grin, Leo was surprised at seeing Alex grinning at him. Alex was slowly growing on her own, She would stand up in this world without Leo's help. This thought made him sad for a second but this is for her sake, She must stand up even without Leo.

'Why do I feel like my kid is all grown up?' Leo thought, There was even a time when he met Alex. She would always follow him but now, Alex was already roaming around without him. While thinking about this Leo only had one thought about it.

'She is a human and a Devil that loves freedom.' Leo thought, There was nothing that could negate this fact. There was nothing he could do if she left him but that doesn't mean he would give up, The only thing Leo could do is wait for Alex to accept him as someone other than family.

"Is there something wrong?" Alex asked, She was worried when she saw the sad face that passed through Leo at a fast speed. She was always observing Leo so she knew what kind of faces Leo would give base on his emotions, It was not noticeable for normal humans since Leo always have a poker face but Alex clearly notice the difference.

"Nothing, The Night is just beautiful." Leo said while staring at the starry sky, Seeing her Leo acting like that. Alex couldn't do anything and just join Leo watching the beautiful starry sky together. It was normal for the both of them since they trust each other more than strangers or friends.

Meanwhile in Alex mind was a lot of things passing through it in a fast speed, Leo was lucky or unlucky that his power to read minds was turn off since his problem could be solve very quick. Anyway Alex on her mind was very sad at something, Her hard work which is the stealth that she manage to learn from Charlotte didn't work on Leo.

'I was in the verge of greatness, I was this close.' Alex thought, She was clearly very close in the verge of greatness. Leo had many secrets while Alex on the other hand probably had 2 secrets which was the existence of Charlotte and her current persona of getting obsessed on Leo.

Alex saw the sad face of Leo which made her very worried, She wanted to do many things for Leo but she knew that she was too weak. There was many things she could do and she didn't know if this was the a secret, Her Black Flame can devour something and make it hers.

Even humans can be devoured and turn into attributes for her, She didn't know if this was true but she felt very strong when she devoured a lot of humans in the Terrorist Massacre using her Black Flame. She was also suspicious that the thugs many years or 2 years ago was devoured by her Black Flame.

'I need to devour more.' Alex thought, she wanted to grow stronger and more stronger so that she could stand with Leo right beside his side. She didn't know if she deserve it but she wanted to stand together with her Leo, It doesn't even matter if the world was against her.

"I hope this lasts." Alex muttered quietly, She wanted for her and Leo to be together until the end of time. Of course Leo clearly hear her with a clear tone, When hearing it Leo couldn't help but release a smirk. It was like he strike gold when he hear it and it seems that he was too worried for nothing.

While the two were staring at the beautiful starry sky, The Fleet of ships continued to sail through the sea without any opposition until something happened. A bright light came from the right side of the Fleet of Ships. This was notice by all of the ships in the fleet and a while later it was heard.

BOOM!!!

An Explosion was heard at the right side of the fleet of ships, This explosion didn't came from the allies but it came from the intruders. It seems that the Fleet of ships are under attack by the pirates. Alarm was heard everywhere and an announcement was announce.

"BATTLE STATIONS!!!" Hearing it, Alex and Leo both slowly stand up and was staring at the distance.

"Alex, Teach them a lesson." Leo said with a smirked while patting Alex's head, Hearing him. Alex nodded and was currently preparing a lot of plans on her mind.

"Okay!." Alex said as she nodded, She then jump out of the top and head towards the deck for information. She wanted to know who the enemies was and what is the numbers and weapons.
