“Rainee... We're not going to kill you." She said irritatedly, as if she was tired of dealing with me already. I tried to hide my surprise when she mentioned my name, but I guess I didn't hide it well because she smiled and lifted one brow. “You thought I wouldn't know your name? Of course, I know you name, we all do. We know you more than you know yourself, Rainee."Hearing my name from a stranger from Lantharn who was also a skilled warrior made fear come over me. I lifted my chin and rolled my eyes at her masking my fear.She chuckled.“Let's go."We passed the through a rock formation behind the waterfall, I could just picture myself throwing one of the girls into the water. She would probably smile to her death. We left the waterfall and came to these steps that had been carved into the earth.“Hope you have good grip, you don't want to fall to your death. We said we wouldn't kill you but it doesn't mean we'll stop you from killing yourself."“You all must have foul mouths, d
NOLAINEI couldn't even dare to breathe. I took note that Felix's hair was turning redder by the second, and I swear I could hear something crackling in a fire…like burning wood. it was dangerous to stand so close to him yet I didn't dare to move either. I closed my eyes and took a very long and silent drag of air, I exhaled quietly and repeated the motion. My attention returned back to Vinx, he was rolling his sleeves and laser focusing on the barrier that divided the land between ours and Lantharn. He was deadly silent and under no cause would I want to bring his attention to me. I had seen him in rage before but this was a different kind of emotion I never witnessed before, something that made me taste bile constantly rising to my throat, it made my guts freeze and my teeth chatterI had to remind myself that I was commander of the greatest army to ever exist, I am strong, I am powerful but seeing Vinx punch the invisible field that covered Lantharn like a bubble, it made me feel
“The food isn't poisoned, Rainee."“I thought you guys spoke a separate language?."She looked like she was surprised I had asked.“We do... I'm sorry I can't speak it in front of you, but we don't speak it in front of outsiders."“I didn't ask you to speanit to me."“Oh..."She sat down on the floor and leaned into to the glass.“Do you have any hobbies?."“That's a weird question to ask your prisoner."She didn't smile.I felt my belly retaliating against me. My mouth was salivating at the sweet aroma of the food.“I swear it's not poisoned."How did she know I wanted to eat at that moment? I didn't believe her but I grabbed the plate and the spoon and I ate hungrily, shame on me and my treacherous belly.I picked the bottle of water and after taking a sip I spat it out.“What the hell is that?!."“It's water.... It might be different from the type you all have outside."“It is different, I can't drink that thing it tastes..."“It tastes?. "“Yes, water is supposed to be tasteless.
Yoda returned moments later with a box, it was pink.“What's that?." I wouldn't be surprised if she pulled out a syringe and insisted on giving me a toxic injection, I can never been too sure.Maybe she's psycho, that's why they put here here with me. “It's a necklace..." She opened the box and inside was a pretty necklace.“I don't want that." I said warily.“It's fine, I'll keep it for later. You might change your mind."I was about to talk, telling her I would never change my mind but an alarm went off and she stood up from her kneeling position and without another word, she disappeared. I felt a great need to get out of here because I was burning with confusion, there were so many questions I needed to ask.I pulled my hand back and smashed it against the glass wall. A different kind of pain shot through my hand and registered in my senses, it was foreign. I fell down, clutching my hand and screaming.“What happened?." Yoda asked reappearing, one glass wall opened and she entered
Rainee stood from her sitting position and pressed her palms against the glass, as if she had gotten used to staying in the cube. She looked from her mother, to Vinx, then Kalum and Felix... Then she searched and when her eyes fell on me, I could see her visibly relax. Heart of gold. “Is everyone alright?." She asked in her soft sexy voice. She was too innocent, her big eyes were holding so much emotions, most especially fear. What did she ever do to come here? We were the ones that had killed, slaughtered, buried and burned down lives to their deaths. She didn't deserve to be here. She was too soft and cute and innocent.I wish I could wrap my hands around her and give her a reassuring hug. A tall handsome man stepped forward, I didn't want to see him as handsome but the truth was inevitable. His features came together to forge a remarkable face. Oh my gosh, look at his hands, those hands have led wars and wielded swords and arrows…his legs, his body, everything about him was marv
She looked down at her hands, they were trembling. She took in air and it looked like she was in pain from just breathing. Eighteen seconds of breathing in that gas must have done a lot of things to herShe closed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair.“Now." Nax said and a name displayed on all the walls of her cube." Timothy... Who is Timothy? " I asked myself.Immediately she saw it, she broke down and started crying.“Time is running Rainee, we don't have all day."RAINEE.My hands started to shake as I saw the name I tried so hard to forget. A name that sometimes chases me from sleep. How did they know, there was no way they would have known!.My hands were shaking and I could feel all eyes on me. The name alone triggered the memory and all lives were at stake here, most especially mine. I could feel my insides melting. I had to talk.“It was many years ago, in college. Why do you even need this information?." I asked Nax, the fucking devil. I hated him with all my heart
I was done with speaking but the topic was still displayed on the walls.“When you say people, you mean?."I felt my heart tearing and I wanted the gas to be released, I wanted to die.“Children."Nax paced the floor.“As everyone is listening, why don't you tell all of us about... "The topic on the screen changed and now it displayed: 'Why you got fired by Grant Harlowe. 'I had said many bad things, I wasn't afraid to say this one.“I really did take the twenty five thousand dollars from Mr Grant but I returned it. At that point I was a petty thief, no longer a cheap whore.... But I couldn't take the money. I couldn't. "I turned to Nax, I was pleading at this point. I couldn't look anybody in the eye, not the strangers that stood in their cubes, not Felix or Nolaine or the twins, I couldn't.“Now, it's your turn."I felt the temperature in the glass change and I knew that my cube was now sealed, I could speak but no one would hear.I turned to Vinx, he looked at me and I turned my
I turned away and my eyes fell on one of the strangers, it was a young famale, I noticed that all of them had cloaks covering their faces and in the angle she was at, Felix and my mother would not be able to see her.I started to work everyone's angle, I noticed that everyone was placed systematically. I was put in the middle, everyone could see me and I could see everyone but Vinx could not see everyone, Nolaine could see almost everybody but not everyone, My mother could see none of the strangers…This thing that Nax and Zandrey and Yoda were doing, it was bigger than I thought. How impactful was it going to be? They said we would all be different people when we walk out of the cube. When was that going to be? I didn't even know what time it was but certainly it should be after midnight by now.This was not what I expected my birthday to be like. I never had big happy birthdays before but I had peace... At least I wasn't in a cube. Nax leaned on my cube and knocked on it. I looked
It was scary until I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it was Nax. I froze and stopped running. He closed the gap between us and pulled me into a hug. I wondered how he got here and how he knew I was here. “Nax?." I asked, I couldn't believe my brother was really here. There were footsteps behind me and I saw Nolaine rush forward. She tackled Yoda to the ground and pinned her there. “I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to do that." Nolaine said and I laughed. My smile was quickly wiped away from my face when I caught the sight of Felix's hair burning in the darkness. “It's okay..." Nax whispered. “What are they doing here?." I asked taking a step back, my voice was shaky. Vinx and Kalum were with Felix and they were all staring at me as if they couldn't wait to hold me. “I'm going to kill you all " Yoda spat. For a second, I was distracted. I turned to see Nolaine holding tightly to her but she was struggling to get out of her arms. “What happened to her?." I da
YODA. Hunter is laying asleep on the bed. He's a very heavy sleeper, especially when we just have sex He's so peaceful, I watch him as I get dressed. I want to kiss him but I don't want to risk him waking up. I grab my jacket and wear it. I think if my sister Rainee and then Nax, I'm doing this for the both of them. I'm doing this for all of us. I look at my mate one more time before slipping out of the house. I'm going to kill Angelique.***I watch my father leave the palace building. When I go inside the lobby, I'm not surprised that a lot of people aren't inside. I slip up the stairs and into the elevator. I walk into my father's office, about to check his computer to find out where he keeps her but i see her sitting on the couch, sipping something that looks like tea. I stop dead in my tracks, she's staring at me and I'm staring at her. There's a dagger in it's holster, I prepared all the ways I was going to kill her, but I can't move. Not because I don't want to kill h
I think of my mother. The memories of her are so peaceful. she's always smiling and sweet, she's everything I always idolized. She's everything I ever looked up to. Now, the memories of her is sneering at me from the tent. That night.. Rainee is holding me tight and she's crying.Nax is standing in front of us, ready to protect us if any of them chose to attack because he doesn't trust them any longer. They're not meant to be trusted. I grit my teeth and feel like sinking my claws into her neck and watching my father's face while I do it.She's smirking at me, with cold hatred in her eyes. She's a cruel mother fucker, I would kill her if I get the chance.I hear the door opening and closing. I open my eyes, Hunter is smiling at me. “What?." “I have a surprise for you." He says“What is it?." I ask him, there's a mischievous glint in his eyes and the mischievous side of hunter is slowly unfolding and it's becoming nastier by the second.I can't say I'm complaining though, I'm not.He
CONNER I return from school and open the door. I'm expecting to see my mother sitting alone or with a group of her friends but instead I see Four muscular, ripped, handsome men and a beautiful, hot woman in my living room. I stand there staring at them before turning around to see if I entered into the wrong house. Nope, right house. I take a step forward and their eyes turn to me, all eyes. Jason is sitting on the stool and I can see the excitement in his eyes. I don't know what it is and I'm scared. I'm scared because I think it's because I hit that man yesterday night, that's why they're here. Are they going to take jason and me away?. Will they put us in prison?“Conn, come inside." My mother says. “I didn't know any of that, she told us how she got here and my son just told you how he found her.... She insisted on leaving this morning. She said she would find her way, I tried stopping her but she's stubborn." Mother says to one man in particular. He looks like the female,
I come into the house, the butler takes my suist case from my hand and he walks away. Rainee comes from the kitchen area wearing a yellow apron. She's so pretty... She's too god damned sexy in that uniform. I try to take my mind off it and try and have a conversation with her but images of what we did that night in the hotel flashes in my head and my cock begin to stand on alert. I curse under my breath as she approaches me, I really hope that she doesn't fucking notice the huge bulge in my pants. I run my hand through my fingers, trying to earse the sound of her moans from my head. It is obvious that she has gotten over it but I'm stuck here, living off a memory of just one night. I should offer her a more permanent job, she decided to take the job only for a month to test waters.. “Hi Mr Zayn." She says with a smile, dear god... I don't even know what to respond. “It's Zayn, please, I think we've grown past you calling me Mr." “But I work for you... You're my boss." I shake m
I walk down the sidewalk, it's late evening and to be honest. It's not easy to get a job. I'm standing in front of a very tall skyscraper and it's the expensive restaurant that Vinx and Kalum bought for me. My name, Rainee is written in bold letters outside. There is a securityan standing outside and he's staring at me suspiciously, as if I'm about to vandalize the property. I own the place! I yell at him in my mindLike a magic trick, I watch Zayn walk out of my restaurant. He's holding a phone to his ear and he's talking about some business deal... “I'll give you seven hundred and fifty for it, no more..." His eyes lands on mine and I suck in breath. “Hold on man, I'll call you back." He slips his phone in his pocket and I don't think he ended the call, the other person in the other enf of the line would have to end it. He looks exactly the same as he looked when I last saw him. “Hi " he says and he walks to me. “I can't believe I found you " he whispers as he pulls me in
RAINEEIt's late afternoon, the sun is very hot and the wind is non existent right now. I didn't want to go back to the city of Vandah so Jason dropped me off in the city I am most familiar with.Although it Is not far from Vandah, it Is filled with humans and I know that it would be hard for Vinx, Kalum or Felix to find me. For a very long time now, I haven't thought about it. I have tried my best not to. I lost my cat in the bar and I guess I was not going to see it again, hopefully it gets returned back to them... Hopefully. It's a really beautiful vehicle but I low-key want it to get stolen because of the pain in my chest. I stare at a bunch of cakes that is displayed in the window of the shop. I feel a deep craving and desire for the cakes but I don't have any money on me. I should find a job. How hard would it be to find a job? Well, I guess I had to find out.***NAX“When I find my sister, she's coming back with me. One day and she already went missing." “I dare you Nax
“What if we get in trouble." “So we should just let that bad man abuse and assault the female?" He used his fingers to hit my forehead. “What did your mother teach you?." He asks sarcastically before walking forward My heart is hammering in my chest and I follow closely behind him. I stumble on a rock but instead of kicking it away, I actually pick it up and hold it really close. I am so scared but because my brother is calm and put together, I feel confident enough. “Hey..." My brother shouts and the man turns away from the girl and looks at us. “What do you kids think you're doing on my property?." I would not consider my brother a kid because he's nineteen already. Secondly, my mother is wrong because this man did not vacate this place because of a poor business choice or bankruptcy, he vacated because the pervert wanted a hidden place to do bad things to people. ***RAINEEThe man returns, he enters and he's wondering how I got the bag off my face. He does not look pleased
CONNERI yell as I run out of the warehouse because somehow, it was so terrifying as she met my eyes and locked eye contact. I run as fast as I could back home and everybody tells me I'm a fast runner, I put it to the test today. I open the door of the house and peek inside. “Conner!." My mother yell as I step in. To be honest, I was so scared that I didn't see her walk towards me. “Where the hell have you been, I have been so worried!." She said pulling me and shaking my shoulders. My mother is not taller than me anymore but she's pretty strong. “What's wrong? You look... Did you have any drugs ?." “No mum! Dear goddess, how would you even say a thing like that." I say pushing her hands away from my shoulders. “Then why do you look like that?." She asks me“Like what?." I retort I wonder if I should tell her about the girl? She would be pissed at me for going that far. But the young woman was obviously in trouble. I feel so bad for her. She would die if I don't say somethin
