The next day, she was opportuned to not only see the mansion of an Italian Billionaire, but also get to feel its walls and witness its beauty in and out.
"Are you going to sit down or what?" Logan said to Camila whose mind had been tipped off by the overwhelming charge of the mansion.
The living room was authentic, much more vintage and looked aged with classic textures. Gold and silver decorative wares weren't spared from its exquisite assets.
The chandelier that hung from the far-reached POP ceiling was huge and its light clinged under gold antiques reflected onto the white ceiling and gave a crisp and sweet look.
The mansion must have been built a long time ago, but the technological gadgets and appliances present were of advanced innovations, and some, fully customized. But the rich feel of its history wasn't absent.

The ride to California wasn't so tedious, but the search for Jacques resident was wearisome. But they would soon creft to downtown Los Angeles but they were redirected to the outskirts. "So much for a person like Jacques, don't you think?" Logan said to Camila standing beside his car. They were facing the street and Camila had stopped to get some things in a general merchandise store. "It's Jacques, what did you think?" She said with a shrug. "Is Jacques? Are you kidding me? You are the one that brought us out here." Camila opened her car's door. "Don't worry. We are going to find him at …" and she lapped inside. Riding off with Logan closely behind her, at moderate speed. After half an hour, they reached their destination. It was a Lakehouse in the middle of the are
Logan parked his car and when his feet met with the earth, he walked hastily and disappointedly to Camila who leaned against her car waiting for him. "What was that about?!" Logan scolded her. Camila laced out from the car's leaning support. "You want to know? He almost killed me, I —" "We needed information! Now we got nothing because you killed him." "Logan would you fucking stop blaming me?!" "No! You are a killer! All you do is kill! You have got an empty soul, you have shedded a lot of blood, a lot of lives gone like fowls… and you don't want to change" he said the last part in a soft tone, as if he was sorry. "Fine…" Camila chuckled. "I am the devil's daughter anyway, or probably, the devil herself…" she brought the car key and dropped it into the palm of his hand.
*Logan*_* After a few sips from my personal wine glass, I thought about Camila again. I couldn't stop thinking about her, even if I wanted to, but the truth was that I couldn't. I knew what I did earlier, but I wished that she could change. But why was I acting like I was righteous? When I myself was on the path of redemption. We were two imperfect mysterious monsters, and I was starting to feel what Buck was talking about. She made me weak and I made her calm, maybe stronger now. But she was getting out of hand, and it doesn't feel good. I just hoped that I wouldn't lose her… "Sorry to disturb you, sir…" I heard a voice precisely from the barn, and it could only be one person. "Buck" I growled and rushed out from the house to the back yard. I hated his intrusions and that was why I had implied precautions in my house. But
"No, you are not going to kill her" I forced myself to get the stick out but it was too big for where it was, and too painful. "You haven't been listening. Anyways, hope you survive this, its only a shame that you don't get to see her at her end" he said and walked away. The night was before the sky already, and I had to get out of it no matter what. So I tried, I tried harder. Truth be told, I could die if it takes my heart out with it, although I would get back to the land of the living, but it would take up to a hundred and twenty full moons for my heart to regenerate and for life to be insnared back But I had to try, even if death would be included in the master plan. I broke part of the branch that stuck out to my chest and cried out loud with the pain. I pulled myself out with all the strength I could muster up and reached the remai
Logan appeared behind her and held her waist with his large hands and nibbled on her earlobe. She parted her lips for a soft warm breathe while holding a small fabric in her hand. "What took you so long?" Camila asked, steering away from him. "I had company" Logan replied. Camila looked into his eyes. "Let me guess… Buck?" Logan chuckled. "Yeah, Buck…" he walked closer to her and enclosed the gap between them. She was relatively small with him and she adored him and loved that he was such a large darling. He parted her hairs to the side and touched her face with his hand and Camila stared up at his hot lips. "What is it?" She managed to say even though it seemed like she was under his wings, covered with his aura and strength. It was this time that she wasn't in control and was falling into his arms.
Camila calmed down and sat down. "I will tell you what and why…" "Okay? …" "But first…" Logan shook his head with a chuckle "of course, always a deal" "Not one we haven't had already" Logan shrugged and made move for an uninterrupted attention. "If I tell you, you tell me everything about you just like we agreed on the last time" Logan nodded his head with a shrug. "Fine…" she brought out that piece of fabric she was holding on to. "See this? I have every reason to believe that I ran into someone from my past, although it's nearly impossible but I think I know who it is—" "Patricia Lipa…" a familiar voice ensued. They both looked at the source and there was Buck standing behind the window waving at them with a little bit of smile
WINTER 1971, SIERRA MAESTRA, SOUTHEASTERN CUBA The whirling helicopters were above his head, flying over the branches of the trees, with their headlight missing his steps, and he ran faster than them, swaying through the thick mountain that ran westward from the far side of the south of the oriente province in southeast cuba, with an upward transition from the coast. Military vehicles were on his tail, flashing lights on their path as they chased the man. Trees fell, the paths were cleared off of vegetation, the night was cold as ice, but driven by a burning desire– kept them afloat. But they weren't his problem, at least for the moment because there was a bigger reason to flee; these beasts were chasing him and they ran behind the scenes in the dark. It was just their perfect place and he would bee damned if they caught up with him. The man r
Silence ruled the morning for a moment until Buck cleared his throat and added a clap while they stared at Camila who was utterly lost. "I just love the part where he made himself look like the big bad wolf." Buck added with a smile. "Well, lady Cami, talk" Camila glanced at their faces and scoffed. "Seriously? …" Logan and Buck shared a look with a shrug. "What do you think this is huh? I thought you're different from this guy? Looks like you're just the same…" "Calm down, CAMILA" Logan advised. "Fuck am I calming down for?! …." She raged up. "What the fuckery is that? A fucking children's fairy tale? What sort of epic story Is that? You think they is funny ? You must be having some laughs now? Huh. Fucking hell…" she chuckled. "I was a fool to even try and trust and believe you—" "Calm down lady Cala, you don't need to—" "Fuck you Buck! Shut the fuck up and get out of the fucking window!" She yelled at Buck. >>>>>>mind-linke
"You're the one who's really afraid. You don't need to be, they are not exactly our enemies—" "You think? Maybe for you, but not for me" he said with an impossible chuckle. "And why's that?" "Nice talk, Logan. See ya when next I see ya" he brushed him off and ran into the woods, shifting into a wolf right before disappearing. "Logan?!" Camila came out from the bunker and called out to him. Logan didn't even react like there was someone there. Being fast enough, she whisked to him, nervous, she started spilling it all out. "Please give me a chance I can explain, please—" Logan started walking toward a helicopter, but she continued because he would hear it. "I swear I didn't know it would kill you, I didn't know what the bullets were made of, I'm deeply sorry, I was just too broken to believe anything, please, I'm not asking for anything else other than your forgiveness, it would mean the whole world to me right now. For the sake of what we had,
He thought he would see a squad or even more posted at the entrances, but it was only a couple of them. The place was on red alert. "What the hell is going on in there?" He muttered to himself, shifting into what he was best. He went on all fours and rushed to the entrance, gunshots emerged, as always. He dived at them and brought them to their knees after breaking their bones. "Put yourself out of your miseries" he said with a growl as he walked past them into the bunker. There were gunshots coming from every direction. "What's that!?" They shot at him and he lapped at a pillar. "Too many of them…" he said through clenched teeth. "Where are you, Buck?" They fired tirelessly and heavily at him until it started dying out with screams of agony and pain. He peeped out and gasped. "What the hell have you become, Camila?" She finished them off in the twinkle of an eye, mouth full of blood and a heart yearning for revenge. She looked like nothin
Camila*_* "What's with the rush? Where are we going?!" I slipped out my hand from his grip. He said that we were going to a safe place, but we had gone Into another section of the bunker which looked like a chemical and research facility. "A saf—" "A safe place, yes that's what you said before!" I raised my voice at him. I was feeling uncomfortable. "Do you trust me?" When he would argue or get offended, he would do the opposite, it was what he always did and it was becoming too good to be true. I looked into his eyes and shook my head. "I don't know who to trust again" I said in a weak tone. It was times like this that he always got me, and would assure me that all would be well, and for the past 4 years, it was true. "It's okay to feel … anyway you're feeling right now, after all, you're only human, aren't you?" He asked with a smile. I didn't quite understand his question, I wasn't really human and he knew that. "Hey! Swinston!" Someone call
Camila*_* Swinston and I had left the states to a reserved place in Cuba. There, he said we would be safe and would never be tracked. It looked like a military mercenary base, no questions asked because I knew who Swinston was, he was a killer like me. And for 24 hours, my brain was frozen from thoughts. I didn't want to think about what happened to Logan, but there was one question that lingered in my mind. "Is he dead?" I asked Swinston who came to check up on me at my quarters. He's been doing that. "Do you think he's not?" He retorted, serving himself a chair. He held my two hands and looked into my eyes. "You have nothing to worry about, Camila—" "But I Killed him?" I asked with a faint voice. "You had no option, Camila. He was going to kill us both, he was insane, it was a very good thing you did even for him, you relieved him of any future pain…" he sighed. "You saved me, Camila. Doesn't that count for something?" He took his h
Camila had her gaze fixed at him without the zeal for speech. She had been fed with so much lies that she couldn't see the truth before her. She didn't want to believe because she couldn't. "I'm late, too late, aren't I?" He had never been so afraid before. Camila chuckled as a sound was heard from the back door. "Yeah, you're late, too late" "You have to listen to me. For your own good, it's okay if you want to forget about me or hate me forever, but this isn't going to be good for any of us—" "What isn't going to be good for any of us? My happiness? Or choosing him over you? You dumped me like I was nothing! What did you expect?" "There's a man, he was sent, he- he can't be trust—" "Camila?" Swinston called her from inside, he showed up to the front and put on a confused face. "Is this him?" He asked Camila, staring at Logan who began to growl at him. "You" Logan growled, he couldn't control his anger nor his shifting which was fast app
FOUR YEARS LATER Time doesn't always roll fast, especially when you're expecting something. Time isn't always on our side, just like good luck and good fate. We have choices to make, we have decisions to make, and all that matters is what we do with those time? How you choose to spend time your time waiting for something that matters, but ultimately, the question can not long be hidden… “what you wait for, is it worth the time for the wait?” I answered that question myself a long time ago, and each time I see his face, his smile, his body, each time I feel his love, his warmth, each time I smell his scent, and his sweetness, I give myself a pat for making the right decision. Everything changed with time, every single thing, except the pain from Russ, although bearable this time, I found my peace, and he was forever engraved in my heart. I still remember that day, not long after I got back from the land of the dead. He held my hands in the assur
Love, they never say, can be the only thing that can kill an immortal, a God, a goddess, and even the world. Love is a force of it's own, one to be reckoned with. Love is like the curse of a dying God, and the sweet voice of the devil. Love is like a nuclear weapon, it can bring fear, peace, it can build and it can destroy. Why is it so much? Why? I used to say "if love will kill me, I forbid love" but It was clear to me that one day, I would have to give it all up for love, but the question remains, what kind of love would that be? I would bet my life that it doesn't exist. What did hell feel like? Clearly wouldn't smell like burning herbs, clearly wouldn't feel like "a new life, a new chance…" I felt my lips moving slowly and my tongue slipping out those words. Sound was the next thing; peace. Just peace. Why? My eyelids started slipping away and my eyes shuttered as light pierced through my eye balls, the visions that passed through were blurry and scary,
My rage took me to where it all started, the day time club. And I was welcomed by two fully armed men guarding the entrance. It was unusual because there has never been security on the entrance, not like that. As I opened the door and met the ground with my feet, memories of Russ from the last day at the club came rushing like a strong wind that only inflicts anger and an accompanying pain to deliver the anger. I walked up to them, they held their gun tight and requested for an identity verification. "Hey, hold it. Where's your ID?" They asked. "Fuck am showing you my ID for?" My voice protested, taking my facial expression on the same path. They looked at each other and faced their front, like I wasn't there. Like I never existed. They had the fucking gut. "Allow me. I have an unfinished business with Jigsaw. He hooked me up with some old pal and I'm here to pay him back, in kind…" but the heavy and disturbed chorus in my voice said otherwise.
We had our first stop at Logan's desert mansion and took some good guns and some other firearms with us. "We are going to his house" I said to Russ once we drove out of the desert. "Is that a good idea? Shouldn't we like hit his business or something or a warehouse? Besides, security would be tight at his house… he will he expe—" "No. He won't be expecting me, and he will be hiding at his house cringed up with fear because his supernatural warrior is dead. And we will just send the perfect message…" I opened a small bag. "What are those?" Russ asked, staring at the small devices. "Explosives. Small but mighty…" "How are you going to set them off? " I pressed a button on my watch and it's beep connected the explosives. "Oh wow" "We set it all around his house, after he's dead" "Ay ay cap…" "Russ?" "Yes?" I held his hand. "It's not too late to turn back, you don't have to do this. You haven't even been in a gunfigh
