Dylan p.o.v.

There was a knock on the door and everyone stood still. I personally wasn’t in the mood to entertain any visitors at the moment.

Everyone was seated in the living room brooding silently as we had just gotten back from the hospital and a deathly silence engulfed us all.

I was hoping they’d say a coma or brief unconsciousness till she was stable enough to wake up again.

But no, my mom had died.

‘You brought her in late’

Those were the words of the doctors when we arrived.

Late.

If only Meredith had just listened and stayed behind. I wonder what pursued her in the first place.

Now she’s missing.

These past few days have just been like a movie.

A fucking freak show!

Because I have no idea how they expect me to be okay with my mom gone.

Just how?

The knock came again and Uncle Brooks stood to figure out who it was.

Everyone else stared at the

    THIRD PERSON P.O.V.Jeanie walked into the ward and met Santiago spoon feeding Louisa on the bed.It was Two A.M. in the morning, they needed to leave as soon as they could.Judging from the time they had left; the alarm would’ve gone off at the base by now that the three were missing. It was going to take several incantations to not be seen as they furthered their journey.“We need to take that food to go, the doctor is out for a while and this is the only opportunity we have to leave” Jeanie said and her partner understood exactly why.“Hey girl, we need to leave now okay?” he muttered to Louisa and she nodded in understanding.It seemed like she was well aware that they were on the run to save her life.Jeanie walked up to Louisa and detached the catheter attached at the back of her wrist and picked her up while Santiago rushed out ahead of her probably to use the restroom first.From h

    Third person povA knock resounded on the door and the entire occupants knew who they were expecting.Mr. McConnell went personally to answer the doorbell, it was a vital discussion that was long overdue.“You are a bit late, we agreed nine o’ clock” said Mr. McConnell the moment he came face to face with the invited visitor.“The streets aren’t safe and you know that. Also, I needed to see the therapist as planned.” Mr. Reid replied with a bit of annoyance in his voice, he wasn’t familiar with being questioned and being in such situation triggered his nerves. “May I step in or would you rather me killed by your doorway.” He continued and that made Mr. McConnell grudgingly give way for him to come in alongside two heavily built body guards.Stepping aside for Mr. Reid to come in, he also scanned the outdoors like he was expecting someone else… which he actually w

    “How can you remain so calm? Aren’t you bothered you might not make it out alive?” Dialo said to Meredith as she sat at the far corner of the room with her eyes still closed and her hands and feet still in a knot.Meredith scuffed at his statement, so loud that the young man found it quite annoying and insulted.“Speak for yourself” she started with a tone that sounded like she and Dialo had been in an argument for quite a number of years “you are going to release me and I am going to call the cops and you’ll be ending up in jail with whoever that sent you as a roommate.”Her confidence was slightly alarming to him; he had never seen a woman so stubborn. He silently thanked God for not allowing him to judge her book by her looks cause if he had listened to what his mind had initially told him about her, he wouldn’t have bothered tying her up.And he was very certain that if he didn’t, one of them

    Iris’s p.o.v.“Start up the car, we’ll be leaving soon” I heard Hunter’s voice from the outside of the cabin.The sound of his voice in a little way settled my worry that he had gone without me.Even though deep down, I prayed that I would wake up to my little girl staring at my face or wrapped up in a warm blanket fast asleep because at this point everything is already a lot.But then it came to my realization that Hunter has no idea that I have woken up yet… so he’s leaving soon without me?“What about Miss Jules?” a casual baritone voice asked and I’m glad that he voiced my mind before I could.What about me?“Dougy I cannot keep waiting for Iris to get up... in as much as I can’t wait for her to wake up, Louisa is out there and only God knows what they’re doing to her each second that goes by” Hunter replied his

All of them.“You can come in, you’re safe I promise you” Mr. Reid says as he stands to his feet to allow her see him fully.“Why didn’t you indicate the people we’re getting to meet are the McConnell’s?” Mr. Shawn, Iris’s dad asked after seeing Mr. Reid act calm in the same situation his wife is finding extremely disturbing.“I figured if I mentioned it that you guys wouldn’t want to get involved” Mr. Reid explained.“We had already mentioned that we didn’t want to get involved with this family, you promised us Iris and my granddaughter… not a jamboree with

    Third person p.o.v.Iris sat in the back seat of the car in fresh new clothes and a slightly wet hair.She had managed to have her bath some minutes ago and now they were preparing to leave.While Hunter and a few of the others were having some discussions not so far from the vehicle, she sat completely quiet and zoned out of earth.Her thoughts, very far away that from her face she looked like someone who was lost from reality.What she had heard earlier still gave her cold feet, it felt like as each second passed the reality of realities dawned on her and all that kept pounding at the back of her mind was Louisa’s health.She knew Louisa as still recovering from anemia and blood is being drawn from her?Iris had never in her life thought that she could ever come across someone so wicked in her entire lifetime… and she had met Hunter.That little girl never did anything to those cruel men, not even to swa

She didn’t go around with a wristwatch so she wasn’t so sure of the time but she was certain her guess was right, it was part of their traini

    FINALLY!!The BULLIED series has come to an end.I want to thank all those who supported me throughout this book and waited till the end… I love you all so much.I always said “I would never support rape” and this is me still saying that I do not support it.I had an idea and a plot, I was inspired by an article I found on Stockholm syndrome… that was why I found the Book 1 necessary to be written, so you can see the back story.I also added other character lives because I would love to be doing spin offs and I wouldn’t want to begin it with back stories of characters you already knew.I was really young when I started this book, with a lot of ideas for it but so little skill hence I wasn’t able to describe some scenes or emotions the way I had it in my head but this only goes to say I would be editing this book from the beginning.I actually thought it was a good idea to not write the main concep

    Iris p.o.v.Blankness…That was all I could use to describe what I was feeling at this point.Cause no nouns, no adjectives nor verb could describe what was going on with me.Not just with me, but with everyone else.The entire room was silent while the Judge prepared his verdict in the back room, the only voices you could hear was the muttering of a policewoman to Dylan trying to congratulate him with her words.“You did the right thing.”Her words sounded more like a consolation than an appraisal.Everyone knew it was the right thing, so why did it feel so wrong to me? Its been years and I never thought a day like this would actually ever come.Flashbacks from nights before kept re-occurring in my head, like possibly it was all a dream and someone would come wake me to ask “Are you okay?”But it seemed like everyone was also lost in the dream, in

    There was a gunshot in the air and soon enough everyone ran in haphazard directions to cover for safety.“Othniel!? Othniell!?” Meredith yelled out as she tried to take cover also.She crouched behind a shelf and was muttering silent prayers for the sake of her life and her safety. It wasn’t quite long before she felt a hand on her left shoulder and she jumped in fright but calmed her nerves after she saw it was the driver she had been looking for.“What’s going on? How do we get out of here???” she asked as her lips and arms were trembling.Othniel placed a finger on his lips and whispered a littleshhh“follow me”At first, she wondered where he thought he was headed but she wasn’t given enough time to wonder as he pulled her to her feet and ran into one of the dressing rooms.The moment they were in, he jammed the door shut behind them and began searching the entire

    This was Santiago’s second day of following them and he feels now is the best time to bring in their daughter back to her parents but he wanted to stay a bit longer to know when they would be leaving the shop.The noon sunlight was a bit harsh to his skin and it prickled at his hair follicles but he bore it in good fate because inside the café was always cool so the discomfort was only temporary.Yesterday he wasn’t sure if it was disguise or adjustment to suit the plan but he never understood why Hunter served at the restaurant. It confused him.Hunter might not recognize who he was, after all he was recruited a year or two after Hunter had left… he wasn’t so sure.But he definitely knew who Hunter was, there wasn’t a person on the team who didn’t.One of Soldo’s favorite recruits that backstabbed him. That’s what they were all told that suited his description.They were all warned not

    Mrs. Hao watched as anger rolled off his shoulders and she couldn’t help but laugh a little bit at his reactions.“You’re supposed to be in the back with the rest of the team.” She says to him with a smile on her lips as he jerks his head in her direction.“Yeah… I decided to give them some space to work on it.”There was a team of trackers that Mrs. Hao had brought in during the wee hours of the morning to help out with Hunter’s request.And so far, he had seen, they were amazing.“Or you decided to watch your girlfriend, which?” she said again with her smile growing wider.Hunter couldn’t help the grunt that escaped his lips when she made that statement.“She’s not my girlfriend.” He retorted and pretended to be wiping the table while stealing glances at Iris and her new friend.“I suspected; you guys have barely said a word to each oth

    He folded the blankets with his sleepy eyes and an unusual ache in his back.The ache didn’t surprise him, what else was he to expect from sleeping on a solid not-so comfortable couch all night.Iris took the room and he decided to sleep in the living room. It was either that or the floor of the room anyways so he really didn’t have much of a choice.He had a meeting with Mrs. Hao this morning. What he needed was a shower and a little breakfast which he presumed he can get at the café also.He arched his back a bit to know if he could get a crack that might release the ache but it was to no avail, so he just went ahead with his daily schedule.The door to the room was closed and he tried knocking to know if she was already up but not properly dressed or if she was sleeping.After the third knock, he heard her say‘its open’from the inside. Only then did he open the door.As he guessed

    Hunter knew he had struck a nerve from her reaction when he stated his request all he wanted was her response.And assistance.“I don’t know what you’re talking about” she whispered with a tight smile, most likely trying not to make it obvious to any onlookers that she was in an uncomfortable conversation.“I was sent by Mr. Reid; I need your help.” He whispered back to her.She stared at him for a few seconds with narrow eyes and tight lips as she was trying to decipher if she should believe him or not.“Who are you?” she asked.Hunter remembered when Mr. Reid had informed him that this question was almost inevitable from her, and each party she worked with had a code answer to the question.“I am blue.”She eyes moved frantically around the café to be sure no one was observing nor approaching.“Ahh, Mr. Huong.
