I slowly pulled my sweater from the floor and wore it. Carefully I reached my feet on the floor making sure I don’t wake the bald man who was fast asleep.
I carefully walked over the unwashed clothes scattered on the floor. I stooped picking up the old leather jacket, which belonged to Junior. I ran my hands inside each pocket, luckily I found a few bank notes inside. I slid each out and slid them at the back of my Jean’s pocket.
He slowly turned his face toward me still with his eyes closed, and snoring at the top of the game. I felt the my whole body turn numb. Luckily, he didn’t get up. I slowly placed his jacket back on the floor then picked up my sandals which were a few distance from me, heading for the open door before me.
I walked inside the tiny sitting room which felt hollow. Even Hendrik’s apartment was way better than what I was seeing. There were only two couches at the center and a woode

MY MISSION“Listen Siren I’m not going to force you to go back home but I know that your mother loves you and would do anything for you to come back home,” Geno's words echoed in my head.Hendrik ‘s violent kiss on my neck is what brought me back to the real world.“What’s wrong with you? Where is your energy?” he asked pulling the tray of cocaine he had prepared from the drawer beside our bed. “Here, this will definitely help you relax.”I slowly reached my hand toward the tray. “Go on,”I Hesitated to take the tray of cocaine from his hand. Knowing I had to sniff that thing down my nose was driving me crazy, it wasn’t because I was afraid to drugs like Tydo had once said, but it was the fact that I would wake up not knowing anything that had happened the following day. And that didn’t sit well with me.“Rin now,” he demanded, taking a sip on the beer. I noticed that his green eyes had turned red and I knew v

LIVING THROUGH PAINLight switched on revealing Jin's face, behind him stood Ten with a sharp knife on my little brother’s delicate neck.“Siren, save me,” he cried.“Please don’t!” I yelled running toward him.“Too late,” Ten spoke in Toll's voice.Blood gushed onto the air setting me back to the real world.My wide-open eyes raced around every corner of the familiar room I was in. Tiny footsteps echoed in the passage before Eight appeared from the door.“Rin!” he yelled climbing the old bed I was on. His small hands clung around my waist which was aching. “umm,” a groan slipped from my lips, while I brushed the little boy’s neat hair.“We had pizza at Sister Rosie’s house!” he barged.So that was where they had been. With Rosie, the red-haired woman who I had met in the Shinny crèche.“Why didn’t you come with us?” moving his hand away from my chest.His face had fell and the positive energy he had

FOE OR FRIEND? I slowly walked up the stairs reading the form that the tattooed man had gave me.“Tsk, modeling?” Tossing the form away.There was no way I was going to enter modeling, who would want to stare at me? In fact, I was too fat to be a model.“So, you are a model?” an unfamiliar voice asked.I rapidly turned my head back to see who was talking to me. “Hi, I’m Charlie, Charlie Green,”I stared at the tall woman behind me, who had the form I had thrown away on her hand. So, this was the Charlie who lived in room 3. She looked older than what I had expected, probably 30 years old. To be quite Frank something about her was churning.“I thought I will die without seeing a real model,”“I’m not,” I quickly replied.Her eyes widen. “oh,”I then turned away from her resuming with my journey. “HEY!”I stopped walking. “I think it’s will be fair if you share your name after all I did share mine,”

BOUNDRY CROSSEDI leaned against the wall stuffing the black crystals inside the cigarette I was carrying, with my eyes slightly on the horizon. The loud laughter, which I knew belonged to Hendrik and his ten friends was unignorable. I carefully burnt the butt of the cigarette gracefully as the flavor of petrol filled my mouth.I slowly closed my eyes enjoying the flavor. The sound of the door clicks opening caught my attention. I quickly peeled my eyes open and stared at Geno who had stepped out from his apartment which was beside the steps, I was standing on.“Why were you following me today?” I asked placing the cigarette behind my back.“Excuse me?” he asked sliding his hands inside his jean jacket’s pockets.“I saw you, and that girl friend of yours”“Anastasia?” he asked.“I don’t know and don’t care,” I rudely replied.“A

NEW SIDEMy eyes stayed locked on the door before me, listening to the conversation going on the other side.“We should sell her,” Elie suggested.“Sell? Who will want to buy a crazy woman, did you see what she did to Mike?” Edge asked. “Let’s just silent her,” Bob suggested.“No, we are not murders,” Andy disagreed with Bob’s plan.“So, what do you suggest we do Mr. know it all?” Bob rudely asked.“I…” he stuttered.“You see, you also don’t know,”“You should all leave it’s late,” Hendrik finally spoke.“Bu…” Elie tired.“No, leave I want to go sleep,” Hendrik harshly said.“Fine, let go guys,” Edge said.I heard a footsteps and door open and closing followed. Hendrik’s huge loud foot steps echoed inside the w

WOMAN REVOLUTION!I continuously scabbed my body which had turned red. “You know Rin, people like us are not meant to have anything good, so hoping we get people who actually love us is pointless,” echoed in my head.I finally stopped scabbing my body and got up heading to the sink. I stared at my reflection. Just like a year ago I still felt disgusted to see myself. I took the pair of scissors from the sink and started cutting my hair. I watched each hair falling on the sink.I placed back the pair of scissors on the sink near the pack of black crystal reaching my hand for the roll of bandages on the sink. I carefully wrapped it around my breast, until I couldn’t see any of that god forsaken part of my body.I pulled the old grey hoodie and pair of old jeans from the chair beside me wearing them. I took the pack of black crystal and shoved it at the back of my jeans. One last time I stared at the new Siren Weapon before me.I then walk

POWERI watched Hendrik taking off his leather jacket and hung it o the hook just beside the door. Sweat dripped down his neck and his hands were stained with blood. Chills ran down my spine still with my eyes on him, not sure if he was aware of my presence.He took off his T-shirt wiped his bloody hands before tossing it on the floor. He glanced at me then shifted his eyes back on the leather jacket hung on the hook before him. My eyes suddenly caught sight of the fire arm tucked at the back of his pants. He slid his hands inside the pockets.I placed my foot on the floor, heading toward him slowly. I noticed his hands stopped moving and the corner of his eye kept its attention locked on me. Like a predator observing its prey. I embraced his waist. I felt his body tense up. The smell of sweat and cigarettes filled my nose as I held on him even more tightly.“Tired?” I softly asked.After that question I felt his hands untightening my g

CONFESSION“Two packs are missing,” Hendrik stated.“Are you sure?” Bob asked.“What do you take me for? Yes, I’m sure!” Hendrik sharply said. “I had fifteen packs now there are only thirteen.”The door clicked open as I quickly moved to the balcony, pretending to be staring at the sky. Rosie appeared. She closed the door from behind her.She walked toward me and stared at the people walking below our building. Most were heading to work. My mother also used to go to work at these early hours before I got ready for school.She would always leave the house after she had prepared my lunch box even if I told her not to prepare it for me.“Crazy how seasons change so fast,” Rosie pulled me out from my wild thoughts.“What do you want?” I asked.She turned her gaze to me.“Don’t you think I should be the one asking you that?”“What do you mean?” I asked.“Do you really think Hendrik loves

MY ARTThe smoke slowl skid out my lips which were pressed into a thin line. Their eyes seemed to move with me as they passed by. “Hi pretty,” a black haired man said passing by.After that sentence I felt my stomach hurt. It was just disgusting for someone as old as Plot to make that remark, especially to someone who was young enough to be his daughter. Something about his eyes seemed shady.The footsteps approaching caught my attention as the cigarette on my hand dropped on the ground. It had to be him, Jack.A familiar face appeared instead of Jack. “shit,” I mumbled pulling my hoodie up.“Siren, what are you doing out here so late?” she asked, almost pulling out her pistol from her coat.Shit April had just saw me.

A woman walked pass we me almost knocking me down. “Aah,”“I sorry,” she said picking up one of my crutches that had fell on the floor.“I am fin,” I replied that us when I recognized her.Long nevy black hair, eyeshadow and a red lipstick. She wore a shirt red dress, revealing her tiny thighs. “lola,”Her eyes widen. “Sister Siren,”“You okay,” I asked reaching my hand to her small face, which I recognized had a few bruises.The broken lip was what caught my eye. She jerked back with tears gathered in her eyes.“I am sorry?” before running up the stairs.I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. I was sure she was also in the same trouble as I was, having to have sex with every men in order to get a place to stay.I needed to help her, help her get out of that li

LET ME SAVE YOUWe stared at the view of the Mino city. “it’s been long since we sat here,” I began.“Yeah,”I turned to face her. “Are you really getting married?” I asked in a more serious tone.I noticed her face turning pale. “You don’t want to, do you?”“I have to go,”I held her hand. “please get me down,”“Apple, I can help you,”Tears gathered her eyes. “How? How can you help me Siren?”Her voice sounded sad and hurt at the same time.“How can you help me if my grandfather has already arranged a marriage for me? A marriage with a man don’t even know?”My eyes widen. “Let run away,” my voice came out unclear.“Run away?” she asked.“Yeah, let run away from Mino city let go far away,”“How abo

CLOSURE I stared at my mother who was folding the few clothes in their baskets.“Can I take a break?” I asked.“You can eat here,” she replied handing me my lunch box.“I mean outside,”She rose an eyebrow.“I won’t be long. Please.”She let out a sigh. “One of the girls will go with you,”“No, I will be fine on my own. You don’t have to worry about me, plus I am healing,”“Fine, but two minutes,”I smiled shortly as I got up.“Two minutes,”“Yes mother,”I walked out the crowded shop. I leaned against the wall as I slid my hand in my jacket’s pocket. I came out with a cigarette and lighter.Slowly I burnt it but as I slipped it inside my mouth. The scent of smoke filled my nose. I rested my head on the wall as I stared at the blue sky.I

I slowly forced myself up. Crazy enough my body didn’t feel that aching anymore.I took baby steps heading to the door. I pulled the door open and walked inside the dark sitting room. The memories of Jin running around the sitting room while pulling my long skirt flashed in my mind.I quickly shook that memory off my head as I walked to the balcony.Cold wind blew my hair as I stared at the k-building which was a few meters from the L-building I was in.My eyes rushed at every corner of the flat window visible to my eyes, but there was no sign of her.“Sh

HUNT MESMICK’S KILLERSI stared at the wrecked up door before me. I took one last breath before slowly moving my hand to it. I knocked twice then waited. The laughter inside caught my ear. as I knocked again.I heard footstep approaching the door as my body started sweating. What was I doing? Why was I here? What was I going to say to him?He pulled the door open as his face appeared. “Siren,” he said in pure shock.“Hi,” I nervously said forcing out a smile. “Can I come in?”“Sure, yeah please,” opening the door for me.I walked pass him as the cigarette smoke entered my nose. The sight of most in the room created by the smoke caught my attention not that I minded. “The bandages, they are gone,”“I got them removed yesterday,” I replied walking toward the couches which I recognized were occupied.Three familiar faces caught my attent

I stared at the flying moth that was going round and round the light bulb. “If it wasn’t ’for that boy my daughter wouldn’t be here,” my mother said from the other side of the room.“Yeah, I sometimes wish I could see him, but the nurses said he never mentioned his name, he only dropped her near the hospital gate ,” Plot replied.“Do you think he was one of the kidnappers?” my mother asked.“I doubt,”I sat upright avoiding trying to ignore their conversation. My eyes stared at the smaller dresser which was a few meters from. The broken mirror with few photographs reminded of the day she broke it. How angry she had been that day and how much she had regretted breaking it. Her leg moved out the duvet cover. She placed it in the floor. Slowly she walked toward it using the bed for balance.Crutches were starting to ignore her. She needed to get back to her feet. She still had unfinishe

DRAINED OUT!I sat on one of the few chairs on the balcony, with my eyes on the building before me. I slowly puffed out smoke from my mouth. Yep, I hadn’t stopped smokingThere she was, walking around her room carrying a basket. It was Apple, Apple Sun. It seemed like more than a year had passed since we had stood in this balcony together. How much amazed she was that day to see the view to her bedroom. “So you always see me?” he had asked.Before I knew it my mind was digging into the memory where she was dancing. How perfect her steps and turns had been. She had looked like a princess in a fairy tale. A true perfection. I still wondered why she never entered dome dance competition since she was really good in dancing, guess I too could draw but had never entered any drawing competitions let alone a competition of any sort.Maybe her dancing was the same as my drawing talent. I found my mind digg

THEIR LOVEClosed my eyes as I listened to the number of nurses unwrapping my bandages body. “We are don,” one of the nurses with long brunette hair.I slowly opened my eyes as the door before me opened. My mother’s eyes widen as she stared at me.“Mum,” I softly said.Tears ran down her cheeks as I felt the other nurses help me put on the loose shirt that Plot had borrowed me.She’s healed very fast,” the other nurse with blonde hair stated, handing me a mirror.I stared at my scared face that was healing slowly. It looked better than I had hoped.Plot also walked inside. “We’ll leave you all,” the nurse with brunette hair said before her and the other nurses walked out.“Siren,” Plot said walking toward me.He sat at the edge of the bed. “You…”“Look beautiful,” my mother finished his sen
