FIRE CRACKER MISSION 101 (109)
"Um, I don't think this is the way home?" I heard Emilia ask as I sped down the road."We aren't going home." I deadpanned and she turned to make eye contact with me, I saw her from the drivers mirror but stayed focused on the road "Remember when you said you wanted to go to Tyler's house?" I asked with a tight smile."Well, um, yeah, yeah, I do, what does that have to do with anything?" She asked hesitatingly."I need you to get him and Leonardo out of his house once we get there and—""Wait-wait- wait, How am I supposed to do that again?" She asked with wide eyes."I'm sure you will figure it out, you are an intelligent, besides you offered and now I don't have anyone else to help me!" I asked with a pout.Emily stared at me for a few seconds before she groaned "Ugh! Fine!" She groaned. "But just this once, only this once!" She reminded."Yes,Yes, I got it!" I responded as I pulled over opposite their house, I glanced over at the building, I wasn't even in their and I could feel but

I got out of the car immediately they were out of my line of sight and walked briskly towards the door. Of course, they had been so busy they left the door open.I could not help but wonder what she had offered them to make them leave like that, I never though he would get so engrossed in a woman, then again, there were a lot of things I never thought Tyler could do that he was currently doing. The house was cleaner than I though, I half expected it to be messy, unkept or who knows what, but apparently Tyler kept it pretty neat and down to earth, I would have given him credit but we had broken up according to me and I was petty.I took a few confident steps into the house and checked each room, The house looked prettier than I remembered, it seemed Tyler had taken that remodeling I suggested a bit to far,especially with the purple walls, I was sure I did not mean that he could paint his walls my favorite color.But each to their own right?I checked each room that was in the house a

“What happened?!” I heard Emily breathe as I reached the car, I stumbled and rested on the door, in a split moment she was at my side but nothing could save me from the storm that had begun to brew inside of me.I had seen him. I had seen the man who ruined my life and completely shattered my dreams, The man who tore away the inky father figure I had and made my stepsister the monster she was.“Danielle, say something! I’m getting worried.”A tear rolled down my cheek but I wiped it away and locked eyes with Emilia’s large orbs, “I saw him.” I whispered. “I saw the man who murdered my father and this time, now that I know that he is in Los Angeles, I will make him pay,” I promised. “By book or by crook,” I added and got into the car.“But where are we going?” I heard Emilia ask when I started the engine, I licked my lips.“We’re going to meet with the investigator, Mr. Edward,” I informed her and kept my eyes on the road.“Oh, you mean that guy you told us all about you, the same guy?”

"E–em-Emily! Emily! Call an ambulance! Emily!" I screeched, I heard loud footsteps and a stumble, and I heard shuffling as well but I did not dare look away from the body in front of me.At this rate, there would be a trail of dead bodies after me. And it would be all my fault Matilde, Jared, and now, Edward. I could not help but wonder, Who was next? Mrs. Amber? Charlotte? Emily? Leo or Tyler? Someone could be next and my heart ached at the thought, I had to stop this man before he completely ruined my life and I needed to do it soon.I scrambled up to my feet, my hands shook and I could barely see through my blurred vision, I had seen too many dead bodies in less than three days, I took a few steps toward the living room and almost ran into Emily,“I’ve called 911, what do we do now? Do we wait?” She asked. I shook my head and glanced at all the files that were scattered around.“The person that murdered Edward wanted something, something that was very important, they turned this p

I pulled to a halt in front of the house, my heart had dropped into my stomach so many times and Emily was openly sobbing, I had never seen her cry and it tugged on my heartstrings even though I would rarely admit it.The sight we met was even more terrifying than at of our thoughts could have been, there were yellow duct tapes around the house and it was filled with police officers,Emily and I shared eye contact for a split moment and I got chills down my spine at the thought that something had happened to Mrs. Amber, A lump grew in my throat as I opened the door of my car but I could barely get a foot in before a police officer jogged over to me.He was a brunette with green emerald eyes, His nose was pointed and he had tanned skin, His lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes pierced into me. He gestured for me to get down and although it felt like I had been hypnotized, I was sure it was just my legs moving on their own again.I stepped down and Emily seemed to follow
FIRE CRACKER I am innocent (114)
"I see you are not going to confess anytime soon." The Scarlett-haired woman spat as she stared me down, her gaze was stiff and icy cold but I matched it and my lips pursed. Straight line."I have nothing to talk to you about, I already said I am innocent and I have nothing more to discuss with you, I want to see my lawyer now! And what about my phone call? I know my rights, this is illegal!" I snapped."Don't you dare try to tell me what is illegal and what is not illegal!" She boomed back at me, I licked my lips and tried to control my breathing. "Lower your voice," She suggested and pointed a finger at me. "I know my rights." My voice was calmer and I kept my eyes on her, We had been going back and forth ever since I got here and she had completely dismissed my request to make a phone call or reach out to my lawyer. We were currently in the interrogation room and she was trying her absolute best to intimidate me, I was tempted to tell her I had been through much worse and she cou
FIRE CRACKER How can this be happening (115)
“What the —” The words rolled out of my mouth and I paused to take in the sight in front of me.I could never forget those amber green eyes and blonde hair, The curves, Collar bone, the cheeks, eye size, everything was just—“How—” I tried to speak but no words came out, I was desperately struggling to make sense of what I was seeing, and at this point, I felt all of this was a dream and I would wake up anytime soon.“How is this even possible.” My voice quivered as we locked eyes.“It’s very possible Danielle. It is very possible that we are identical and also the fact that you tried to murder my aunt!” She growled. I felt my forehead crease, my hands became sweaty and I tapped my feet against the ground and squinted. Her aunt? “Charlotte is your aunt?” I questioned and she rolled her eyes “I did not hurt her at all, You must be Delores then, I promise that I did not go anything—”In a split moment, she grabbed my neck and was choking me. My eyes widened, I glanced from her to the
FIRE CRACKER Aiden horan (116)
"Are you okay?" I initially assumed that it was Leon who was speaking but I was stunned when I locked eyes with Delores and gradually registered the fact that we were the only ones in the room."I'm fine, I responded, I don't like having anything forced on me," I added softly,Her lips curved into a small smile like mine usually would, She squinted with her eyes and I saw her body relax, "Should have thought about that before you did what you did," She shot back and turned away from me, I was almost sure she was heading out the door when she paused in front of the table that was a few feet from me and grabbed the chair. "I didn't do anything," I assured.Delores glanced up at me and I find to see the distrust and desperate urge to contain her anger in her eyes, instead of bursting out like a volcano, She beckoned me to come and seat with her hand and I obeyed."Why did you do it?" She asked, her tone was free of judgment but her eyes flashed with pain and frustration."I didn't do a

5 years later. “What happened here?” I sucked in a sharp breath as I glanced around what was supposed to be the children’s room but seemed like a battleground. World war three happened here. “It was him!” Bella cried in her high-pitched voice, I cringed at her tone and glanced in the direction of her voice. My heart skipped a bit when I could not find her, but if the mop of blonde curls that peaked out from beneath the bed was anything too go by; I was definitely on the right track. I took tentative steps toward her and crouched down to her height, “Baby, what’s going on?” my voice trembled slightly with worry but that was not the only thing threatening an anxiety attack from me at this moment. It was already 10:00 am and I wasn’t even dressed — forget about dressing up, Tyler wasn’t even around to handle the kids and he promised me. Today was my big day and he promised he would fill in, but as always, he just runs off with his burger. Bella reluctantly reached out to me and
FIRE CRACKER Is it too late to say goodbye?
You know how you can spend your entire life walking on the wrong path. You can feel like you have it all figured out even though you are just starting and struggling to be a good version of yourself. There are some memories, that don’t die when dawn comes barging in. Some dark times that even the sun can’t chase away. My point is: They are too many things out of our control and the last thing you want to do is get stuck with the guilt of not fixing or doing things that were never in your control, to begin with. As I ran my hands through my soaked scarlet hair, a lone tear crawled down my cheek and I swallowed sharply. I bit hard on my bottom lip as I thunderstruck and pierced my skin. It was almost scary how three years had felt like decades, how much I had linked to come here, all the promises, the guilt, everything that had built up to this exact moment. I wiped my tears which were mixed with rain. I found to hear the hesitant footsteps from Rye, but I did not turn. My fists cle

“There’s still time for us to run.” I glanced at Emilia as if she had grown two heads, but she had a serious expression on her face and I knew that she was freaking out deep down.So was I.“Run to where exactly?” I decided to humor her risky thoughts with a raised eyebrow, her stance deflated and she let go of my hand. We were outside the church now. It was crazy how much time had passed and how things were happening so fast.Until two weeks ago I was at Alice’s grave. Now I was walking down the aisle. I frowned and breathed. “When did Rye say she was going to get here?” I asked Emilia, the blonde seemed to be too engrossed in starting anything but the church that waiting for her. Her blonde hair had been styled in a perfect bun and Isabel had performed magic with her makeup. Her dimples were visible and she wasn’t even smiling. Emilia took a hold of my hand again, a small smile broke out on her plump lips.I held my breath as she stared me dead in the eyes before she broke out into
FIRE CRACKER Burning soil (195)
“This was the last place I thought I would ever come,” The words rolled out of my mouth and left a bland taste in my mouth, I could feel the heat from the ground tear my skin apart, and my eyes stung with fresh tears and my fists clenched.If anyone had told me, years ago, or even a month ago that I would do this, I would have laughed in their face and given them a fitting reply, yet here I was, tears pouring down my cheeks with a void in my heart that I was not sure time could heal.“It wasn't supposed to end like this, Alice. This wasn’t the plan. This wasn't the freaking plan,” I whispered and I could barely see from my clouded vision. “You always hurt me when it was alive and I always used to think that I would be happy when you died...” I trailed off and wiped my tears.“I’m not Alice,” I admitted. “I’m not happy at all ad it feels like my heart got ripped out. You took a part of me with you and it space you left stings a lot.” I swallowed and sucked in a sharp breath. I ran my
FIRE CRACKER Happy birthday (194)
Tyler chuckled and his hand went to his neck for a nervous moment. “I don’t think you have realized it but… Alexander is in love, and it’s not with you,” I blinked in confusion.Tyler laughed at what seemed like my facial expression. “Alexander is madly in love with Lee.” My eyes widened and I immediately clicked the dots.Lee’s strange behavior ever since Alexander came into the house, her sudden change of heart, the reason she begged me to stop the wedding, why she was so devastated during the shoot-out, why she kept her gaze on Alex, and most of us, why she was bosses with taking care of Bella. “But she’s just a child and he- he’s twenty-five or something! This isn’t right!” I informed him.“She’ll be eighteen in a few weeks, by then she will be an adult, right?” Cole asked in a calm tone.“Well yes, but…” I trailed off and walked past him, I turned and continued. “She’s still a child, he’s five years older than she, and I don’t know, I’m just not comfortable with the idea.”“It’s

"Are you okay?" Tyler was standing at the doorwhen I came out, I nodded and walked past him. "Where's Gemma?" I asked with a straight face and glanced around the place. "She left," Tyler informed me absentmindedly. "She asked for a divorce." He added."Why? Did she finally realize that you are nothing like you claim you are?" I spat at him and he shrugged."She was pregnant for someone else," He continued. My eyes widened and I shrugged. "Oh wow." I chuckled. "You sue to surround yourself with the best kinds of people," I informed him and he relaxed on the wall"You don't seem okay, do you want to get some rest?" He asked and I rolled my eyes at his fake concern."I want to leave. Why did you bring me here?" I demanded in a sharp tone."You fell unconscious, I had no other choice," Tyler admitted bashfully and ran his hands through his hair. His lips were pursed into a straight line and he kept his gaze firm on me."Want some coffee?" He offered and walked towards what I assumed w
FIRE CRACKER You hurt me! (192)
"I never thought you would come here." I heard a voice as I sat on the closest rock.From the view I had, the lake was breathtakingly beautiful, it had been months since I came here and I was dying for a breath of fresh air."Do you remember the last time we came here?" the voice continued on a steady pitch, I rolled my eyes at the tone and turned away. "Danielle, you are going to have to face me at one point or the other." Tyler finally confessed in what sounded like a defeated tone, I scoffed at his words. "There's nothing to settle." my voice came out strained. It had been one entire month since Alice was murdered and Aiden died at my hands. The memory still sends chills down my spine and for many days I refused to leave my home because I was terrified of the outcome, I sucked in sharp air and glanced at him."You ended this, remember?" I added in a soft tone, my eyes stung with tears but I blinked them away. Tyler sighed. He broke the small distance between us and sat beside me
FIRE CRACKER Life isn’t fair (191)
I lunged at him. With all the force and anger I could muster at that moment. This was the moment I had waited for so many years. Three long years — I lived with that guilt and pain for three long years. I was broken, I had to deal with the pain and nightmares and the intense feeling that I could not protect the man who did nothing but love me. The only thing I had consoled myself with back then was that I would avenge his death.And only when I had avenged his death, would I visit his grave. Today, I would fulfill that promise.Aiden lost balance in shock, the gun went off immediately. My eyes widened when we hit the ground. I was basically on top of him, dangerously close with the gun between us and my breath hitched.My heart raced and it took me a few seconds to register the fact that the bullet had not hit me, rather it was stuck in Aiden who was bleeding from his nose.I must have taken too long to connect all these dots because the next thing I knew was hands around my neck, c
FIRE CRACKER I will keep that promise (190)
"Aiden," I growled and he smiled. He had a fun held up straight to my face and I was almost thrown off by the audacity of the man. Here, in broad daylight, he was pointing a gun at me, a smug grin plastered on his face as if he had just been given hot coffee on a stressful morning."Danielle" His voice was calm and held no remorse at all, his eyes narrowed at me and rested on Alice's body which was behind me. I watched as Aiden's grey eyes darkened for a bit before they returned to their previous form."For the first time in my entire life...I'm sad I was right about something." The words were not directed at me, rather it was where his gaze rested. Completely fixed on Alice. "If you cared about her, you would have stopped this a long time ago." I shot a glare at him, and he scoffed and stared at me with a piercing gaze. "It's because of her, I did this!" He snapped and shot one of the medics, I stumbled on the side of the van, my eyes went wide and I clenched my fist."That's a li
