I was shocked to see Alpha right there with his shriveled black suit and his gun pointed at me and the other 3 guys. They slowly get up while raising their hand in the air. He then asks them to distanced themself from me while there is a lot of people who are scrambling at the back, trying to go out. But, One of them rushes towards me and grabs my right hand harshly, forcing me to stand up and got off the sofa then he put me in a chokehold while he pulls out a pocket knife and aims it at Alpha. The other two were long gone leaving the three of us alone in the room.
"BACK OFF MAN!! TROW YOUR GUN AWAY! DO IT NOW!!!"
I was sobering up due to the rush of adrenaline. I'm scared and anxious as at that moment I was having a hard time breathing due to the chokehold. The man was walking slowly, full of alert, moving in a circle as Alpha follow suit but then slowly he raised his hand and slowly lower his gun down.
With an ice-cold voice, Alpha spoke, "Stop it now you prick. Do you even know who I am?! You better stop that and step aside. If there is even a scratch on her I'll bury you down the ground."
Hearing that remark, the man stop his movements, he was scared seeing how much his body trembles. His hands were also vaguely shaking and his breath was shallow, yet he acted brave, so he said "I-I got nothing to lose man. I did this for my family so don't blame me. He ask me to do it, He told me to bring drugs in her to make her an addict." while bringing the knife closer to my neck.
Alpha quiets down and puts up a frustrated face as he tried to find out what is the reason for this to happen. He stays quiet and observes him more.
But suddenly as if he realized something, he points the gun back at him and said, "I know who you are. You must be his lackey right? Hah! knowing that now, I can't let you go punk!"
I was confused about what was going on but suddenly Alpha shout, "LILIANA! ON 3 MAKE SURE U ELBOW BACKWARDS AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND DUCK YOUR HEAD! NOW.... 3!!!"
I didn't realize what I was doing and what I was thinking but while hearing his word I just act it out and elbow his stomach as hard as I can and duck as low as possible. Then...
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I slowly looked up to see Alpha's face. It was splattered with blood not long after I heard a body dropped behind me. I slowly look back, I saw the same man with blood all over him as it seeps through his clothes and the floor. Alpha shot him on his heart and abdomen. I was about to scream seeing the horror in front of my eyes. But Alpha held his hand on my mouth and muffle my scream.
"Liliana... You better not scream, Unless you want the whole house to know what just happen."
I nod my head as fast as I could since his hand in my mouth was uncomfortable. Alpha took his hand off my mouth and start to wipe the blood off his face. I was still sitting on the floor trembling, trying to cope with my feelings, and my head that's going dizzy from the alcohol and drug as my adrenaline dies down. It all happened so fast as Alpha picks me up from the floor without warning receiving a squeal from me and was now trying to bring me down to his friend. As I realize what he is about to do I struggle to let my hand break free.
"Stop! Wait! Let go you jerk! Where are you taking me?! I wanna Change! This blood is disgusting and it even goes to my hand and arm! No, this can't be seen by anyone. This is a big NO! So let me down a sec!" I rattle around in his arm as he sighs and puts me down.
"You're loud, God! Look, I saved your ass just now so you better not make it hard for me." He was annoyed, It's very visible but I state my demands already so I'm not backing up.We both stare at each other eyes as if we are playing the 'don't blink' game. Until he sighs and looks away "You got 10 minutes." Hearing his agreement I sigh in relief as I muttered my thanks that were replied with a nod.
After 10 minutes I come back with a Black floral off-shoulder and spaghetti strap top, Denim jeans, and a black pointed-toe flat
Alpha looks at me for a good minute then look away with a cough,"Took you long enough. Now let's go." I was confused at what he was saying so I decided to ask him"To where? We're at my house remember." I said with a scoff while folding my hands and standing one-sidedly. "No. You're going with me." was his only reply then he goes back carrying me down.Alpha didn't let me speak any words and just directly drag me downstairs to meet with his other friends including Val. "Ok, now let's go," Alpha said sternly. They all nod without any comments and started to walk to the door while here I am confused like a pigeon didn't know what's about to come. "NO! This is my house where would I go?!"Hearing another rejection from me seems to make him on edge as he groans and shouts, "Jesus Christ, you're annoying as hell! For fuck sake!" but then suddenly a sharp pain goes on my shoulder and I pass out.
Going to Alpha's Point of view again, He spoke with his mates about what just happen."Guys, Hear me out. Just now I saw a tattoo vaguely visible on that guy's inner left arm. It was exposed due to him stretching his hand to keep me away. It was a wolf-like claw with a sword in a diagonal position. It's Crimson Claw mark. Mikael has started to move."
Hearing that, everyone gasp in shock as I adjust Liliana in my arm"Gosh trev. You could have got her killed with that hit you dumbass." I complain and he just laugh and said "sorry, but this will be easier."
"Also, Val. Don't go back with us yet. I need you to stay and clean the mess upstairs. Do you want Lucas to stay and help?" I said. Val puts on a face that says" Have mercy" and we all laugh while going back leaving Val and Lucas to take care of her friend and mother.
I woke up in an unfamiliar room with a classical vibe. It was dusty but neat with the sunlight passing through the window and the curtains flutter. Woking up with a painful shoulder and head was not pleasant but it all came to stop right when a memory of last night flashes. The bizarre scene, the rescue from Alpha, the argument about where to go, and suddenly is all gone black. Due to the rush of memory coming back I groaned as I felt pain in my head again. Seem like my head was filled with needles and it was about to explode. My thought was disturbed by the sound of someone clearing its throat. I shoot my head towards the sound and see that guy again, Alpha. He slowly walked towards me as my whole body trembles in fear. He was very intimidating in the black shirt with a leather jacket and jeans. As he realizes that I am now soberer he goes over to me. My body trembles in fear as he got near. " A-Alpha, why am I here? I want to go back home. P-ple-" He glare at me wh
Since a month ago, I started to call Alpha his name since we're more familiar with each other and it seems like he doesn't mind me calling him that. I heard Jacob calling my name as I turn around to face him. He asks me to go and follow him as I stand up and go upstairs with him. At that time in the living room, Trevor and Jaxson shouted so loud that Neva goes to his mother mode again, while Lucas and Eddie act like they didn't hear anything other than the TV. Neva nagged them for being noisy and disturbing.As we reach the corridor, it was quieter. Jacob looks nervous and anxious as he asks me a question "I know you had your mom but other than her, do you have any relatives? Like you dad or brother?"I was confused as to why he had to ask when he already did a background check on me "Why? What makes you interested in my family?" I frown as I continued my question, "Didn't you do a background check on me already? You know my current mother is my stepmother right?"
I sigh and walked away, back to my brothers who are as loud as a zoo. I go to the furthest sofa and just sit back and close my eyes for a moment only to open them and saw what I wish I had never seen in my whole life. Trevor and Jaxson following the flirty scene in the movie while Lucas and Neva just laughing like a maniac. On the other hand, Eddie seems to have given up on them. I just sigh silently while smiling knowing that I still got them even if the world betrays me. Not long after we heard a loud thump from above and a glass shattering and some muffled screams were heard then suddenly everything was quiet. We all looked at each other and goes straight to her room, scrambling in the process. Back to Liliana Perspective, After finding Val's room I knock on the door and come in as he responds."Heyyy... Whatcha doing? Lucas said you've been here since this evening, you ok?" He sits up and smiles at me as he just nods at my remark " I'm good no problem.
"My name is Dexter Filigos. Surprise? HAHAHA!" The clown man said. I was baffled, I was full of disbelief at what he said. It was the name of my long-lost childhood friend who I thought died protecting me. I was thrilled yet scared at the same time. He changed, I know. But this change was not what I expect. Heck, I didn't even know he's alive." You're alive. How? I-I thought y-you- " That seems to be the only thing I can spat out since my brain felt like it stops operating. He stays silent as he slowly approaches me and turns me around. As I saw him in front of me, I can only stand still while staring at his masked face. He bring his hand up near my ear as he tuck a strain of my hair softly and said," I fight, Lily. For my survival. It's been a while ha? I missed you." I start to reminisce about my past as I keep on staring at him.I was so small at that time, maybe around 4 years old. I was wearing a baby pink dress with two pigtails, playing in the garden with
Upon hearing my nickname called, I flashed my eyes open and gasped for air as if I suffocated. I watched my surroundings and was trying to stand up, but I can't... something is holding me back.. a metal chain... no.... a handcuff. Wait?! A fucking handcuff?! Ugh! what a perverted guy. Don't they usually use rope?! Well, at least that's what I learn from watching anime."Well...Well... what do we have here? The Big Mafia boss's Little sister. Oh! did I spill the beans?" He gasps as he puts on a surprised face which even a baby knows it's fake."HAHAHA oh well, that guy deserves every pain there is, but you will make do sweety." His chuckled echoes throughout the whole room as I gritted my teeth. Hearing him being cocky makes me want to slap him across the face as hard as I can that it leaves a print of my palm in his face.I looked up only to see a silhouette of two men. One of them is what I assume the one who spoke just now and the other one must have been Dex, seeing
Hearing my word, his smirk grows bigger. After Dexter free me from the cuff he said, "good decision my dear... now let us start from my name hmm?? My name is Tim Bren, I work for the over known mafia Mikael Lenox." I scoff knowing that he turns out to be another lackey."You act that high and mighty and yet it turns out you're nothing but a lackey huh? " His face turns sour as he scowls his eyebrow, hearing my remark he gritted his teeth and speak," Watch your words bitch... I can kill you in a mere second and your childhood friends there can't even do shit about it. Mind your tongue if you don't wanna lose it, lass. " I clicked my tongue and rolled my eyes, "yea.. yea, whatever. I don't care about what pleases you and shit. Don't forget that I receive the basic combat training during my stay with Jacob and also I'm here only to fulfill my goal, and taking your head is one of them. I may be weak now but heed my words, Tim, I'll kill you before you know it." I said as
I woke up with the sound of alarm and sun rays passing through the half-curtained window. That's right. They give me a new phone since I left mine back at Jacob's place. Since coming here I haven't called my mom and informed her about my situation since I don't want to involve her, not in my current state. I get off my bed and go freshen up. I dress in a black tank-top and short workout pants. I tie my hair into a ponytail and wear my fingerless gloves. I go out of the room greeted by Dexter. He seems to be waiting for quite a while already and at the sight of my door opening, he sigh and said, "Finally! Took you hours to go out. Anyway, we're gonna start training right now. Hmm... seeing your outfit seems like you're ready. Good! Let's go." He warms up his muscle along the way by doing simple stretching. Looking at what he is doing I followed what he does and so we go to the training room. We walked to a hall with dimmer light and as I walk I can see a door right at the end
" Well, Mark... Hi. Now go away and mind your own business." I said to him with complete contempt yet without minding my word and insincerity, I didn't even accept his handshake yet he just grab my bleeding hand and said in a worried tone, "Your hand is bleeding, at least let me care for it. You are part of us now so as a doctor I can't ignore it. Even tho you don't care I do so for now just see it as you following my selfish remark."I am suspicious of his intentions in going to this length just for a small hand bruise. Is he a truly good guy? but he's part of the mafia, maybe he just wants to get closer to me so I would give him my trust, and then he would use me? Did he have any ulterior motive? " I know, you're suspicious of me but I didn't have any plan to harm you. "I sigh and just agreed " Ok, let's go then..."We arrived at the doctor's office. It was clean and had a strong smell of medicine and herbs. Three beds are separated by soft cream curtains. Ther
I woke up feeling comfy and cool but it was too quiet and there was a smell of lavender which was strange since I have pets in my room. I felt my eyelids heavy and my mouth dry but despite that, I tried to open my eyes and move my body which feels as stiff as a stick. With all the effort my body can exert I finally manage to open my eyes, it was an unfamiliar room that seemed like it belong to guys, the monochrome and classy yet masculine vibe. The room was filled with black colour and the dim light from the lamp with a surprisingly cute air purifier shaped like a cat with golden ears. It's as if that air purifier doesn't fit with the overall design of the room. I look around and see no one was there but it's weird since if I got home drunk, Alice is there, sober enough to bring me back to my room safely. Just when I was drowning in my thought, the door slowly opened. It's as if whoever is opening the door wanted it to be as quiet as possible in order to not disturb anyone who's in t
I froze and thought, 'Oh shit, why does the topic go there? but if I suddenly change, I'm fucked.' So the only thing I could think of was just to laugh it off and act like he was making a joke. "Omg Kev, what do you mean mafia. Do they even exist nowadays? The government and the police force are now backed up with tons of technology. Those crime organisations are now playing the invisible games. We don't see them nowadays. Are you drunk on action movies?" I said as I sip my mojito. He stayed silent as if he was still suspicious but then he sigh and put his hand on my waist pulling me closer. "Lily, don't say that. Are you being threatened to work there? Don't tell me you were forced to be a prostitute? are you scammed and get chased by the loan sharks? Dangers are always around. You might not know it but maybe the person you're working with is a dangerous organization and yes, those types of organizations you see in fictional novels and action movies exist even nowadays. Why don't yo
I woke in a body fit burgundy red dress with a side cut on the side and I use a knife holster to store my throwing knives. I wear smoky red make-up with burgundy lips, leave my hair straight, and use my classic gold geometric earring and some sweet golden heels. I was about to take my black channel purse before a knock comes through my door. It was Vanessa and Alice. Alice was dressed in a black tight dress with cleavage exposed and a smoky brown look along with a tight high ponytail. "Let's go, boss. We're gonna be late. It's 11 pm now."I was feeling anxious and excited, looking forward to either the thrill of danger or the touching reunion. It's more likely the first one that happens but regardless, I can't seem to calm my heart down. Currently, we're on our way to the place they usually hang out, Acedia. That's the name of one of the most popular clubs in the ELICO district. By the name itself, it's a place that disregards status and ranks. A place to let your inner demon out, let
I woke up with a rather unexplainable feeling yet it wasn't considered bad enough to ruin my morning. Today was finally the day, the time where I meet my target Kev Roman or Kevin Burrow. Never expect that we will have a reunion like this, truly. I take a slow, warm shower and filled my tub with woodland pine herb and mints bubble bath. I light up my white tea and sage scented candle to add a relaxing feel. Luna being a clingy bun she is, joined me in my bath. Seems like I've lost my privacy the moment I have this cat around. On the other hand, Yuki was not that intrigued by his curiosity, he mostly hang around the living room area. After finishing my bath, I dry myself and put on some make-up. I did some light natural make-up look and curled my hair. I finished up with a light pink matte and some gloss. After that, I go toward my closet and pull out two sets of outfits. There's a casual black tee with denim shorts and an oversize plaid shirt along with black classic c
As I reached ELICO, I entered Mirage, our building name, and goes straight to the office. all of the members have assembled and Vanessa stood behind my seat with her documents ready. I sat right down and the meeting started. "We've found a big clue on Lost Eden, Our three target is Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. We won't be going for all three instead our focus is Kevin Berrow. You can get his detail from Vanessa after this meeting but for now, we have to track his location. He's a lone wolf so he usually goes alone. But, there's a chance he's with Freed since Freed can be said as Kevin's babysitter. We don't have to worry about Bryan since he's just a plain psycho with pride as tall as Mount Everest. Different from the other two that have somewhat a relation Bryan is alone. We decide to leave that to Mark and Tim. If by chance Freed and Kevin are together, don't charge in, instead of retreat back and let me do a solo operation." But as I said those Alice abrup
The meeting has been concluded and we're all getting up to leave. But seeing that there was three prey we needed to hunt I called out to Tim and Dexter along with Mark. "Guys, Can we all talk for a while. I think this is something that's necessary." They all look at each other, confused about what I mean but then nod in agreement as they follow along.We go to Tim's office since it's the nearest to the Hall. We took our seats and then all eyes are on me. I sigh before I started talking. It was nerve-wracking to have all eyes on me even tho it was just three people. "Okay, it's been decided that we have three people to hunt but so far we don't have enough information on who we're hunting. There's a saying 'in order to defeat your enemy you must know your enemy' so-" I was cut off by Tim as he shockingly said"Wait wait, did you just quote Sun Tzu? For real?!" I was baffled at his words since Sun Tzu is a famous figure. Who didn't know him? "What's wrong with that? Who doesn't k
I was shocked seeing their reaction since I thought they were just playing some crack code. I come in seeing them argue about it like a child as if they're just playing or joking around. But then the moment I cracked the code, their face turn pale due to shock at the same time their eyes lit in excitement. This must be a big lead since they look like a baby that finally got his candy after crying for decades. Tim immediately dives into a mountain of documents, he scrambles through his documents, shoving and throwing them around. When he finally found it we find three names which are Kevin Berrow, Freed Dilton, and Bryan Knell. These names don't sound familiar to me but then the moment they mention 'Lost Eden'. I somehow got the guise of it. These three must be someone that's crucial in finding whatever it is we need to find."Liliane, Go and call everyone to the meeting room, it starts in 30 minutes. Make sure everyone is there." Tim said as he once again buried himself
Still on Mikael's PerspectiveHe was telling a lot of information after getting beaten up half dead but he never answer the basic question ask which is his name. "Alright, that's good for now-" I said as drop the bat down but then he cut me off, "How do you know I won't lie?" I stop on my track and scoff at him, it's so funny to think he would bring this question now out of all time. "Tell us your name." He stayed quiet for a while before telling me. "I'm Danny Lance. now answer me. How?"I looked at him for a good minute before answering him, " Do you think we're stupid? We have our own intel and from what you said it matches, logically thinking your words won't be a lie unless you completely fanaticize your answer." after hearing my words, the baffled look on his face gives me an extra bit of satisfaction. "Good, now! one last question, Where's the money, Danny?" I continued.He flinches at my question but I don't give a fuck at this point because this que
Mikael's Point of View,I was panting while being held back by Wuying. I shrugged him off as he was put back on his chair. I was filled with rage as he insult not only me but my country. In terms of mafia life, our country's origin represents who we are as an entity, that's why each mafia will harbor at least one or two of its country's culture as a worm of identity. With him insulting my country is the same as insulting my whole organization. I walk towards him as I bend down and hold his bruised face. "You fuckin bitch! Don't mess with me fucker. Tell us what you know or you'll wish I kill you right now."He chuckled at my threat as he spits his blood out and said, "Why? you're going to use that invisible torture thing? Do you think I'm afraid? You need me in order to find out who's behind this and you also need me to crack that code you found on the safe. Why do you think it's this easy to find the clue? Let's strike a deal instead. Unless you wanna kill me and lose
