AT THE CARTEL

"What are you guys doing?" Xavier interrupted a group of boys who had been making noise since morning.

"Steph got himself a dating app." The group made funny noises and Steph sighed feeling quite embarrassed.

"That's waste of time. Why would someone want to fall in love with someone he doesn't know? Is that how the so-called love works?" He rolled his eyes and pulled out a chair before sitting down.

"It's not easy to match up too." Steph muttered, gaining a glance from Xavier who turned to his phone "So you think... I bet I would get lots of matches, if I get that app." He bragged and the boys made pathetic faces at Steph, knowing how he has been trying to get a match since morning. He looked at them and splutters before being covered in shame. "I bet you won't."

The boys turned to Xavier with slacked jaws.

"I will." replied Xavier

The tension between the two was becoming thick. The boys noticed it and one of them banged on the table.

"Bet! Bet!" He nodded at others

  • BLACK MOON   SMILING DARKNESS

    "Any news from Dre and Zan?" A feminine voice echoed in a room of extreme darkness. A young man stood in the centre with his head lowered to the floor. The moonlight seeped into the room through the wrecked iron window. His side face could be seen as well as the sweat dripping from his forehead. His heart thudded greatly, because of his inability to give a pleasing answer to the question directed to him. He hesitated before raising his head to the darkness In front of him. "It's been weeks and we have not heard from them""That means they failed... Failed their mission to capture Blaze." The voice came again and quite hoarse this time. The man abruptly lowered himself to the ground and his head resting on it. "Forgive me, mi lady. I have failed as well-" a dagger flew, past the man and thrust deep into the wooden door. "Capture Blaze! I won't pardon this incompetence again"The man hurriedly stood up, bowed and left the room in fear. The woman left her position and walked to the wind

  • BLACK MOON   LEAKED INFORMATION

    Jason was on the pedestrian path when he saw the stuck child, shivering. People gasped, not knowing what to do as the truck kept moving. He sighed and made to take a step when a memory flashed in. He halted and charged towards the road.Fernando was about to rush into the road when Jason carried Jerry off the road while the truck passed. Jerry shut his eyes in fear, breathing improperly in the arms of Jason, who held him. He shook his head and shivered greatly. Fernando's knees hit the ground and his heart thudded greatly. He reached out his hand, drawing the attention of Jason. Seeing Fernando, he held onto Jerry, taking a few steps towards him until he stopped in front of him. He tried to lower him but Jerry gripped onto him. Chuckling, he looked at Fernando who shivered greatly at the sight of him. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Isn't that Him?" "Are you his dad?" Jason asked, gaining a nod from Fernando. He lowered Jerry and his feet felt the ground.The little boy hugged his d

  • BLACK MOON   THE FOURTH MAN

    Jason walked in and beckoned on the girls to come for a meeting. "We have a situation." He announced and the girls watched him with keen interest. "After visiting Mr. Peters today. He tipped me off information." He shut his eyes and exhaled and that might lead us to something concerning Matteo." Stacy adjusted on the couch and leaned forward to get the gist. "We are to search for a man with a huge deep scar from his shoulder to his upper arm, at all the taverns, clubs and bars we can find down the street." "Even her?" Blaze asked Jason while her eyes rested on Stacy, who took glances at Jason and Blaze."Of course, I can do it!" Mouthed Stacy and Blaze arched her brows at her. "Stacy will go with you and I will go alone, ok with that?" "Better.""A little problem, I have to meet Bethany's tomorrow by 8 pm, it's her birthday tomorrow." "Sure," Jason replied and left them in the living room. Stacy stared at Blaze before asking her a question. "How are you feeling now?""I'm ok."

  • BLACK MOON   HIM?

    AT THE RESTAURANTBethany hit her heels on a restaurant's floor nervously, waiting for her unknown "Daredevil" date."Will he come? Is he even real? What if he's AI?" Her eyes widened and she shook the thought off her mind. She panicked, waiting for Her dad, daredevil and Stacy. Her phone rang and it was an unknown number, she hesitantly picked up before pressing the phone against her ear. "Hello?""Hello, it's daredevil." She heard the voice from the other side and stood abruptly. Her eyes scanned around the hall even though she doesn't know what and who to look for. She stood up and took a few steps happily toward the door, at least he was here."What are you wearing?" They chorused at the same thing and laughed. "Ok, I'll go first." Replied Bethany while she gradually approached the door. "I'm wearing a backless long sliver gown and you?" She halted at the door and saw a man from behind answering a call. "I'm wearing a blue tuxedo." She smiled when she saw that he's arrived not u

  • BLACK MOON   MISSION CONTINUED

    Stacy's phone lay on the bench she sat in silence. She gasped tiredly waiting for Jason to call or something... To know whether he was fine, that's when her mind drifted off to Bethany. She stood on her feet, totally shocked as soon as she stared at her watch. "Oh, my God! I'm dead." She picked up her phone and covered her mouth after she saw five calls from Bethany not long ago. "Shit!" "What?" Uttered Blaze."I'm late, late for Bethany's event. She's gonna kill me!" She turned to Blaze nervously and her phone began ringing. Blaze picked it up and it was Jason. "Meet me down the streets, beside the bar... What about Stacy?" Jason asked from the other side of the phone. "She's here, about to leave for Bethany's? Birthday?" Stacy nodded and ran off after knowing that Jason is ok. She went to the bus stop and boarded a bus. "It's so late." She lowered her head in disappointment.***********Blaze arrived at the destination she was told. She saw a woman in a skimpy outfit, tied up and w

  • BLACK MOON   I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY

    Mr Douglas enjoyed every bit of the event with Bethany and her "pretend" boyfriend, Xavier. Bethany talked about some funny moments between her and her dad when she was a kid, they all couldn't help but laugh. Mr Douglas dropped his car keys, mistakenly and bent to pick them up tipsily when Xavier called Bethany, she turned to answer but got a quick kiss on her lips. Her hands touched her lips and her eyes increased. "What was that for?" She asked curiously."Your smiles are fake... Your dad might notice, I don't want to be made a fool here, so let's play the game to the end... Cheer up." Hearing that, her face softened.Mr Douglas raised his head and dropped his keys on the table, releasing a quick smile. Meanwhile, Bethany couldn't stop thinking about the petty kiss. She looked at her dad and muttered a "thank you" "I hope he doesn't make you sad." Mr Douglas asked and gulped down a glass of wine..."He's the best boyfriend, I could ever have." Bethany stared at Xavier emotionally,

  • BLACK MOON   SAMUEL'S NIGHT

    "What am I going to do? This is getting really bad..." Samuel paced around his cramped room and his hand massaging his jaw. He plopped down on his chair, with his eyes studying his ceiling and his arms resting on the armchair... While he continually gazed at the ceiling, a memory slid in.FLASHBACK:Samuel could be seen in a gaming house with other men. "Jackpot." He smiled and gathered the coins to his side. It was the fifth time he has won today and it infuriated the men he played with. One man leaned toward another and whispered: "He seems suspicious, he's probably cheating."The man being whispered to looked at the grinning Samuel and replied. "Check him out, discreetly." The other man hesitated before leaving stylishly. The next round of the game began and Samuel stretched his arms to get ready. People were already expecting to see him win again... He smiled and played his card.The man who was sent to check out on him stood behind and tilted his head to observe properly. He saw

  • BLACK MOON   CRYING DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING

    "Hi, welcome guys." Blaze greeted happily but got ignored by Stacy. She took the stairs gently and entered her room leaving Jason to Blaze. "What's with the sullen looks?" Jason shrugged and got close to her. "Why are you still awake?" "I'm waiting for the wrestling tournament finale by ten pm. I even bought some popcorn on the way." She shoved her hands into the popcorn causing some pieces to fall to the ground. "I can pass," Jason uttered and took the stairs to his room. Plopping on his bed, he couldn't stop wondering why Stacy hasn't spoken a word to him. He turned to the other side of the bed and remembered how Xavier glared at him... He sprang up from the bed and squinted his eyes. "On a serious note, why the hell was he there with them?" He massaged his jaw, shut his eyes and gasped in frustration. ***********B-General hospital"Thanks for bringing in your dad as fast as possible." The doctor gasped and continued"You need to give your dad some rest, come back tomorrow mor

  • BLACK MOON   AT LAST

    Edna looked down, checking the distance from where she stood to the ground for a proper escape. Turning frantically, she aimed her gun at Jason again, making sure he doesn't move. Sirens could be heard from afar. Edna's eyes bulged. "You called the cops on me? You!" She shot toward Jason and jumped off the rooftop. Jason made to run after her when Stacy hugged him, holding him back. "Please, don't. Don't chase after her." Her voice cracked. Jason lowered his face to her in awe. "You want her to escape? She's a Mafian queen!""And my mom... Please."Jason stared at her dumbstruck, panting. He swallowed nothing and slid his gaze to see Edna, igniting her car engine to escape. As she drove off, two police cars chased after her. Stacy lowered her face in sadness and disengaged from Jason. She sat down and began sobbing. Jason got to her and cleaned off her face. He dragged her closer, tapping her back gently. Then, an outburst of tears came from her. *************Blaze and Bethany were r

  • BLACK MOON   EDNA'S STORY

    The lady and the men got up to Xavier."Cease him." Being able to do nothing, the men yanked him off the ground. "Look for the old man." Two men ran out but crashed on the floor after a series of gunshots. It was the police, Jason had called the police earlier on, using a telephone booth."Your hands in the air!" They commanded and all of them surrendered, an ambulance arrived shortly and Blaze, alongside Bethany was moved in by the medics. Mr Torres came out from his hiding place, and an eerie chill slid through his veins accompanied by goosebumps crawling over his flesh.All the men were handcuffed and pushed into the truck. The lady looked irritated, while thinking on how to communicate to Edna.***************Jason came down to see some men guarding Amor house. On stealthy footsteps, he got off the truck to them. Guarding their visual rears tightly, Jason scouted for some openings through their defence. "This might work" He nodded as he stepped back to restrategize. An empty ca

    Jason held the man's legs and ended up slamming him on the floor, causing his head to hit hard. The other man was on Xavier, Jason walked up to him and pulled him away by gripping his hair, giving Xavier the chance to punch him fiercely in his face. He held his face and staggered back, two other men ran in. The two brothers came together, their backs against each other with readied fists.******************Bethany threw a stone across, the men got distracted and one of them followed the sound of the stone while the other kept guarding the door. She shut her eyes in disappointment and balled her tender fists. Sucking in her breath, she mistakenly stepped on an empty plastic bottle which generated noise. The man tilted in that direction and strode to where she was. Before he could get there, She ran out but he saw her and angrily increased his pace.As she ran, the man chased after her. Her heart thumped crazily. Finding her way back to Xavier and Jason, she could see the other man gr

  • BLACK MOON   EDNA- THE WITCH.

    FEW PEACEFUL DAYS LATERA round fancy table full of different delicacies and drinks was surrounded by them. A party, at Amor House. The weather was already dim and it was a little windy. It was a celebration of Jason and Stacy's engagement and Mr. Torres's comeback. Everyone was happy, eating, drinking and sharing stories. Bethany, Xavier, Mr Torres, Stacy, Jason and Blaze all had beautiful smiles on their faces but as you know happiness can disappear in a flick of your fingers.The door came down to reveal a lady, standing with a sinister grin, dressed in fitted leather black trousers with black sneakers. She had different piercing filled with black studs and dangling earrings. Her hair was packed in a ponytail, with dark shades shoved into the upper part. Her black huge leather jacket sat upon a black crop top. Everything on her was as black as the devil's soul."Rich!" She called happily"Mom...?" Stacy dropped her fork and her jaw dropped."Witch?" Blaze's eyes dilated, she couldn

    "Dad!" Stacy couldn't believe it. The corner of Jason's eyes crinkled as he watched the two. Doctor Axel stood there with a smile on his face.Seeing the confusion on Jason's face, Axel eased the situation for him. "He's Mr Torres, my patient, but wait, is that Stacy? Stacy Torres?" He asked surprised. Everything became clear to Jason, he stared at the two as they hugged and tears flooded Stacy's eyes.*******Stacy and her dad sat in the hospital's waiting room. They have been discussing a lot of things until he noticed the beautiful ring on her finger. Stacy saw how her dad gazed at the ring and flaunted it at him with a wide smile."It's an engagement ring, I got engaged today!""Really?""Yes." Her cheeks flushed at her pronouncement. She darted her gaze to Jason and her dad slowly followed her. "Is that him?"Stacy nodded and her dad averted his gaze to her, who was still dreamily staring at Jason answering a call. He turned to their direction and raised his brow at her, making

  • BLACK MOON   A VISIT TO THE LOST PALACE

    Jeremy was jogging delightfully, his pods plugged into his ears, he was experiencing this happiness he couldn't fathom until he saw Alya, coming in the opposite direction. When they got close enough to greet themselves, he brushed by her without a backward glance. Alya paused and turned with disbelieving eyes. "Did he just pass me without saying hi?" She asked rhetorically, her brows hung up. She gasped and continued her jogging with a perturbed mind. Jeremy exhaled feeling so relieved that he could pass without saying anything. "I pulled it off." He smiled and hastened his steps to prepare for today's work.At the company, he met Bethany smiling nonstop as she listened to her music with an earpod. "Good morning Beth!" He greeted and she quickly lowered her music volume. "What's up, Jerry?" He squinted his eyes and folded his arms. Curiously filling his veins."I should be asking you that, you are incredibly happy." She blushed at the statement. "Well, I am. So... What about the lad

  • BLACK MOON   "FLASHBACKS"

    Jason pulled out a chair and sat down, facing his laptop. He dug his hands into his pocket to take out a flash drive. Staring blankly at it and turning it around his fingers, he inserted it into the laptop. It was the video of the day, Crystal died. How did he get the video?FLASHBACKWhile on the ground, groaning at the pain he was feeling, he saw a clip laying on the floor. The clip was a few inches away from Stone's leg. Jason crawled and got up to his leg. He gripped it when Stone made to run in and stylishly dragged the clip as well as sand and dirt into his fist."Don't go in, we are not done yet." He said. Stone kicked away his grip and ran into his office while he lowered his face to the ground so tired and relieved.***********It began to display on the screen but a scene he wasn't shown then, popped up first. It turned out the clip was shortened before. Dark under the tunnel was a man, who pulled the trigger and shot the same time Jason had shot. The plan was to make a vid

  • BLACK MOON   AWAKENING

    The harshness of the light had him blinking, Xavier darted his weak eyes to see a white bedsheet up above his chest. Wide-eyed, he shifted and yanked it off him. An IV needle was stuck into his wrist... And then he finally realised he was on a hospital bed in a ward. His lid lowered and he saw a head resting beside the bed. He blinked several times, trying to remember what happened before now until Bethany raised her face and drifted into a gentle smile. "You are awake." She yawned and leaned forward while he moved backwards. He shut his eyes and exhaled. "How long have I been here?""A night.""A night... and you didn't sleep here, did you?" He said this lowering his legs to the floor. Bethany ignored the question, of course, she slept. She stood up to leave and call a doctor when he gripped her hand. "Who brought me here?"She scratched her nape nervously, attempting to find words to reply. "Your brother did..." He loosened his grip, unsure of the emotions that ran through him,

    Jason made his way across the room, his eyes shooting lasers. Some men ran inside to stop him but got shot before they could even get to him. Where is Stacy? "Matteo?" She looked into his eyes, unsure of what to feel. Happy? Or Scared? She leaned back to the wall, her gaze on the floor. He watched how her countenance changed and scoffed. Then his eyes moved from her face to her injured spots including her sole. He blinked and loomed over her, carrying her in a bridal style. "Oh." She mouthed and nervously tilted her face to Matteo whose face was strangely calm. "Hold my neck, so you won't fall." She bobbed her head and off they went.****************A man groaned and rolled off the ground. Stone's men backed away as they saw the man lying motionless, wondering if he was dead. They lifted their faces to see Blaze and other men behind her. She smirked and cracked her knuckles. "Guys, let's kick their ass'es." She told them, charging toward Stone's men with Matteo's men.Blaze launche
