"Keith?"Ryan gasped"Hello father, it's being so long, hasn't it"Keith said moving forward to him , ignoring the blood dripping from his chin, he was grinning widely, like a proud kidRyan stared blankly at him in silence, he didn't want to accept what's happening, this man before him was supposed to be dead, how could he still be alive, Ryan looked behind Keith."I thought you were dead"Ryan asked grinning his teeth with a cold stare."That's not a good way to welcome your son, it's been twenty years"Keith stated nonchalantlyRyan shook his head"No..no no, you have died, you are not here anymore, how is it possible?"He shouted in surprise Keith rolled his eyes looking down at him"That's a story for another day father, let me say happy married life and of course, rest in peace....see you in hell"He winked and before Ryan could react, he disappeared "Shit!!""Shit!!! shit!!!"Ryan yelled holding the blood stained cloth over his nose and mouth desperately trying to stop the fl
Ryan gently opened his eyes, everything seemed blur at first it took him a few seconds to adjust himself but when he was more fully awake he noticed the white walls surrounding him, they looked very clean, well maintainedThen he realized that he is in room, or at least he thinks he is in room, it is hard to tell because there isn't anything there other than him and the bed, the window and the door, both of which is open"Oh....fuck"He groaned in pain, his head was banging loudly as if there was someone hitting it with a hammer. Ryan placed his hands on his head hoping to ease the headache but nothing worked"Useless..."The pain subsided but Ryan was too weak to stand up even without his hands on his head, so he stayed where he wasIt took him awhile to remember about the arrow, and then about keith, and suddenly he remembered, he remembered the man, the same man who stabbed him, he remembered him standing there with his bow aiming at Ryan then suddenly Ryan remembered something el
The next dayRyan sat on his bed puffing his cigarette after finishing it, he didn't smoke often but when he did it felt nice. He could feel all his energy slowly leaving him, even though the on his shoulder still throbbed painfully, he was tired. The adrenaline rush from earlier had worn off, so now his whole body ached and burnedBut he had been shot before, this wasn't any differentHe sighed deeply, putting the half smoked cigarette between his fingers and dropping it into his shirt pocket. Ryan stared at it for some time until another figure appeared through the doorway "Ryan, are you okay"Lucas ran closer to him with a worried look"Yeah, I'm okay"He answered with a smile"Really? then why did you send one of your guard to me? you said it was an emergency"Lucas arched his eyebrows"Well," Ryan began carefully trying to think of a good explanation "I wanted to talk to you alone"Lucas cocked his head confusedRyan sighed"What is it? Didn't the wedding go well"Lucas asked w
The next day.......The past two days with Aurora and Keith has been filled with love and romance, at least that's what Aurora thinks, Keith told her things that she never believed in, such as the existence of ghosts, angels, mermaids and even demons, although those seemed quite farfetched at first she had started to believe in them, she even talked about them more than usual, they would always stay for the night before leaving. Keith really took care of Aurora pretty well, he would buy her fancy clothes, give her good foods and sometimes takes her out but only for a short while , and he would always ask if she is comfortable or wants to come with him, which she gladly accepted, she wanted to experience new places and experiences but most importantly; she wanted him to be happy so she was determined to spend time with him. She was starting to have feeling for him but she knew he deserved someone better, she knows she wasn' s his forever girl....In addition to that he would always sh
Oh fuck!"Keith groaned"Well isn't it quite an honour for me to see your little pet there with Keith in his arms"Ryan said approaching Keith who was still on the bed sitting with Aurora"Ryan, I thought you were.....Aurora said but was quickly interrupted by Ryan cold gaze"Dead? nah I don't think so, I can't believe my own wife would want me dead also"Ryan laughed moving even closer to them .Keith glared at Ryan, then back to Aurora.."Now, you have two options, you either come with me and I'm just gonna ask a few questions or I'll just slice every bit of your body and feed them to my tigers, the choice is yours"Aurora shuddered at the laughter and quickly pushed Keith off the bed and stood up, she tried to stop herself from trembling , but failed miserably.Suddenly Keith started laughing hysterically with his hands clapping repeatedly..."Wow....bravo.... Ryan, you really outsmarted me, I actually thought you were dead, you actually survived that, well-done"He said glaring h
"You may have tried to kill me once, but not this time"Ryan said taking his sword back from the floor and plunged it deep into Keith's heart, making him fall to the ground completely lifeless..Ryan couldn't do anything else, he just sat there staring at Keith's dead body.."Poor guy"He muttered "You don't deserve to die, it's all your mother's fault"He whispered bringing out his pocket of cigarettes and lighting one with his hands staring at Keith's still body watching as the smoke filled the room..He knew exactly what will happen next, he just sat there and watched for about an hour after everything is quiet, until he noticed something that made him laugh bitterly..There was a red cross tattooed on his neck, right over his heart. It was the same design that has been tattooed onto Ryan's chest..That tattoo is only for those with high power.. The one on Keith's body was for someone who didn't belong to that category.."Ryan"A unknown feminine voice was suddenly heard, Ryan loo
"Ryan"She called but Ryan just kept doing what he was doing, kissing her entire body.."Ryan baby, I know you missed me so much but we can't do this when our son is lying dead on the floor"She said, she knew damn well how to control Ryan, she was the first woman Ryan fell in love with and it's made her happy. So she knows how to break down the strong man everyone feared, but unfortunately she had the disadvantage."Marilyn...."He whispered looking down to herShe cupped his cheeks and smiled at him"Don't worry my love, I'll be back, just wait a little while, okay?"He stared at her for a while before staring back to Keith"When will you be back? I need to know?""Don't worry, just wait for a few days, but first, I want you to help Keith, he needs you"She said unwrapping her hands from his.."Marilyn?"Ryan muttered staring at her again.."Take your son home and wait for me, I'll be back, I love you Ryan"She said and suddenly disappeared into thin air Ryan stared blankly in fro
"Ohhh"Aurora groaned in pain, her head banging Aurora woke up in her bed feeling sore and tired, she tried to move but stopped, holding her head confused."Oh my head hurts"She muttered softly to herselfshe sat up straight and rubbed her head, rubbing it with her hand but stopped and frowned in disgust at the feeling of sticky substance in her fingers."What the hell?"Aurora mumbled while standing up from her bed. She walked over to her mirror and noticed the dried blood all over her face, hair and clothes."What happened?"She asked herself looking at her reflection, then it's suddenly hit her, she remembered everything, how she was with Keith, how Ryan saw them together and remembered Keith using her to threaten Ryan, that's was the last thing she remembered before she was knocked out. "Oh my God!!!"She yelled panicking, then looked around, she was back at Ryan's house "Oh..... Ryan is going to murder me"She murmured in disbelief and began to walk around in circles frantica
Marilyn's breath hitched in her throat as she looked at her son's body with tears flowing down her cheeks. She couldn't imagine a world without Keith in it. Losing Ryan was painful enough but now to lose her son too? She could not bear it.The silence stretched out as she struggled to catch her breath. Marilyn watched her ex-husband with sympathy, but there was nothing else she could do.Finally, Ava managed to pull herself together. She nodded her head slowly, resigned to the fact that it was too late for RyanMarilyn's eyes narrowed slightly as she observed Ava. She had never seen someone like this before. She couldn't help but notice that her white hair seemed to shimmer slightly in the dim light of the room.It was beautiful yet strange at the same time. Marilyn couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Ava than meets the eye."You are different", Marilyn spoke softly.Marilyn leaned closer to Ava, studying her with an intensity that bordered on obsession. She seemed trans
Aurora flinched in horror, staring at the gushing blood from Keith's body, she looked at Ryan who just stared at the bloody body before turning to Ava with pure fearAurora screamed loudly, covering her mouth with one hand as she fell backwards"Keith!!!"Ava screamed trying desperately to break free from her chains, but they were tightGabriel kneeled next to Keith's body while Ryan watched helplessly, he watched as Ryan glared at him hard"So... let's just get this thing done with quickly, so we can go home. Right?"Gabriel said and laughed out loud."Oh my gosh, this is hilarious"Gabriel added.."Shit!! shit!!"Ava cursed trying hard again to break the chains, but she couldn't do soGabriel grabbed another gun that laid near to Keith and pointed it at Ryan.."Why don't we end this and for all you fucking bastards!!"Gabriel pulled the trigger and shot Ryan on the leg, which caused him to scream in pain, making Gabriel laugh again.."Ryan!!!!"Aurora screamed frantically trying to
"Don't even think about it!! bastard!!'Ryan glared at him"Isn't this interesting!!"Gabriel shouted, laughing hystericallyAurora gasped when she saw the blade and backed off a bit "Kill them all!!"Gabriel ordered his guards, the guards rushed towards Ryan and the others with their swords drawn.Ryan grabbed his sword, blocked their swords and pushed them aside, grabbing a guard by the collar with his hands and lifted him, throwing him against a pillar making him drop his sword"Aurora stay close to me"Ryan whispered to her fighting off the guard close to him, he kicked him away and jumped up to grab him by the waist, and throw him against a pillar again, he grabbed him by the waist and threw him away againAurora stared with wide eyes at Ryan, who was jumping and kicking like a wild tiger. She was shaking violently. She had never seen him act like this.They kept fighting for almost half an hour, the guards were finally tired after struggling so hard against him. Ryan was sweati
Few minutes later...Ryan was already exhausted, bodies filled the room everywhere, blood and guts scattered around the place making it resemble a slaughterhouse.Ryan stood still panting heavily, covered with a thick layer of grime and sweat, and blood covering his body. He wiped it off his face and turned to face a Gabriel who was approaching him and smirked evilly at him."Wow, you actually killed them all? wow!!"He muttered moving closer to Ryan, kicking the dead bodies as he is doing so.Ryan glared at him gripping his sword, his expression showing no emotion, but inside he was boiling with anger and annoyance."Just get Keith, I... don't want to..."What?"Gabriel interrupted "You don't want to what?!! hurt me?"He added with a laugh"That's what you said years ago""Gabriel!! for the last time! release Keith...he has nothing to do with it...release him...or else I won't spare you this time Gabriel"Ryan warned"Oh come on now Ryan!!! I'm pretty sure you won't kill me, you are
In the dungeonAva and Keith both sat on the floor resting their heads on the wall, neither of them had any idea how much time had passed but they both found comfort in each other's presence, Ava was glad Keith was there."Hey Keith?""Hm?""Do you believe in fate?""Uhm... I guess so.."He said hesitantly"Me too..""You too?"Keith asked"Yeah, I think it's strange that we managed to meet up in these conditions.""Yeah...."Keith saidThe two fell silent. "Are you gonna find a way for us to get out of here"She asked Keith nodded slowly, still not convinced, even though he tried really hard not to think about what happened earlier."I'll try...."They were both silent for a while, staring at the floor, until finally Keith asked"Hey......."Hmm?"She hummed in acknowledgement"How are you holding up?""Better...."Ava replied, looking back at him"Can I ask you a question?""Sure!!""What about your family members, don't they know you are away or something?"Keith asked and heard
"How do you expect me to help you?!?"Keith growled glaring daggers at Gabriel who had an amused expression on his face.He looked over his shoulder once more"Easy!! in the next few hours, Ryan is gonna come here.."Why the hell would he come here?""Are you clueless? come on!! you are his son!! if he hears you are here being my hostage, he is gonna come crawling to me"Gabriel explained with annoyance clearly written all over his face."Hate to burst your bubble but you clearly don't know who Ryan is, he doesn't give a fuck about anything else about from his little girlfriend and himself, so.. you are fucking wasting your time!!"Keith explained, pointing directly at himGabriel rolled his eyes impatiently and stepped forward menacingly"You are hilarious trying to prove that you know my foolish step brother more than me...He spat angrily at Keith"Step brother?"Keith muttered"I know Ryan more than you, and I know in the next few hours, he is going to barge through that door with
The next day.."Ryan, why do we have to leave immediately, can't we just wait for a few days?"Aurora asked worriedly staring at Ryan stuffing all his clothes into the traveling bag, preparing their bags for travel."No, I'm sorry babe, we need to leave now."Ryan sighed and placed the bag on the couch next to him"But.."Don't worry Aurora, I got this, just relax okay? you don't need to stress yourself for this"He kissed her forehead sweetly before grabbing his luggage"Are you sure you want to take these too? they look heavy and it would probably cause an accident"Aurora spoke concerned.Ryan smiled reassuringly at Aurora"Don't worry about them, I know what I'm doing alright?"He repliedImmediately he heard a knock and Ryan headed towards the doorHe opened it and saw Lucas standing there looking terrified"What happened?"Ryan asked staring at Lucas's worried face"I need to talk to you..."He paused and took a quick glance at Aurora"...in private"He finished drafting his att
The morning light filtered through the bedroom window, Aurora could see Ryan slowly waking up as well He yawned and stretched and Aurora giggled seeing him She moved and he quickly pulled her body closer, hugging her and nuzzling her neck "Morning Aurora"he murmured sleepily. Aurora hummed and leaned her head back into his shoulder before closing her eyes.She could feel his lips moving across her neck before a small peck made its way onto her bare skin.She giggled when she felt that familiar sensation on her skin"Morning"She responded softly, rubbing her hand against his arm. Ryan sighed and tightened his grip on Aurora for a moment before gently letting her go. He sat upright and looked down at her with a bright smile.He reached out his hands and helped Aurora sit up, then cupped her face and brought her into a warm kiss."How is my baby?"He asked patting her flat tummy gently, Aurora giggled and blushed slightly. He grinned before planting another kiss on her soft lips
"Three?"Jay yelled and a loud trigger was heard..Ava covered her ears, squeezing her eyes closed.She looked at Keith shocked when he turned around protecting her from the gun shot.."Arghhhhh"Keith fell to the ground groaning loudly as blood fastly trickled down his arm"Oh my God Keith!!"Ava screamed as tears filled her eyesThe three assailants stared in shock when they saw Keith in front of them clutching onto his wound, crying out painfully."Shit! boss, are we supposed to shoot him? we have no idea who he is"One of them cursed"Shut the fuck up and run!! the gunshot was loud for everyone to hear"Jay yelled..The attackers hurriedly ran away leaving Keith on the ground in pain."Keith!!!"Ava called out sobbingAva ran to him rushingly trying to help him but he stopped her with his hand, shaking his head"Just go!! you've done enough!!"He yelled making her startle "What the fuck are you talking about? I have to help you, you were literally just shot in the arm stupid!!"S
