No Going Back

  Ace stared at the woman in front of him closely for a second, a frown coming on his face while the silence only grew louder and louder. 

"You … what will happen to you then?" He asked, looking at her closely. "If you give this place to me, what would that mean for you?" 

"For me?" She said, thinking for a second before smiling at the boy. "I have no idea." 

"Then-"

"But I am excited to find out." She patted the boy on the head before turning to Cleo. "You can try to stop me but you know what will happen to everything you all worked so hard for. Will you really be willing to risk that for something as meagre as this?"

Cleo paused for a second, sighing as it made eye contact with Ace who just tilted his head to the side. Making a decision in that split second, the fox flew to him. 

"Ace." 

"Yeah?"
