A Sojourn in His Mind II

~Delmundo

This made no fucking sense in any way whatsoever. I stood there, dumbfounded and gaping at the apparition that glared back at me with a mixture of disdain and malice. I did not want to believe what was happening but it all felt so real.

There was something very malicious about the way he was watching me, as if he knew something that I did not and I was afraid of what it was. I stood there rooted to where I stood as I tried to find some semblance of sanity.

I was stuck in a confused state because I did not know what to do next. Myself or me or whoever I was looking at did not seem so friendly to approach. What the fuck was I even going to say to him.

I mustered up some courage and took my first step towards the direction of where I was having a good time. I had no idea what to expect from myself as I got nearer. The ladies beside me appraised me like they knew me, which made sense in a way.

A space was created for me and I sat down. One of the lad

    The Other Man.~Pamela It was well deep into the night when I woke up. Another tray of food had been laid out for me as I sat up but I was not in any mood to eat anything. I was still nervous and uncomfortable about where I was. As my eyes cleared my situation dawned on me.The irony was a sad one if I really thought about it and I did. I put my bare feet on the wooden floor of the cabin situated somewhere in the deep mountain forest of the Nepal. I had no idea why it was so far from home but I guess if you ate going against someone like Stephan, you cannot be too careful.The room I stayed in was fairly lit with hanging lamps that shined with yellow light. My ears was ringing from the deep silence as I made my way out of the room. I had no idea what the time was but I was sure that it was late.There was a door that had a stairway attached to it. It felt like I was walking down a basement but it led to a bigger floor. The wooden stairs creaked with each step I took. I perceived smok

    94. Pain~Delmundo The lights blinded my eyes as they tried to come into focus. It was as if I was using them for the first time. I blinked severally as the white fluorescent of the hospital hurt my eye but I was defiant. I felt like shit as my eyes finally became stable and focused. I felt like the floor of a cab or like I had been running through by a locomotive train. I was in a hospital garb and I had on a neck brace. I felt the needle inserted into my veins as cold fluids entered my system. I had never felt so weak and vulnerable before in my entire life. I had an inkling about who was behind the attempt at my life. I was having a little trouble trying to recall what had happened exactly and I was anxious that there was something I had forgotten. My anxiety increased as time went by and I kept trying to recollect what was lost in my head. I squinted in pain and discomfort as my head began to pound. I groaned as I realized that I was no longer feeling comfortable. Everything h

    95.Shelter and Village Nights. ~Pamela I was enthralled by this place at night. It was a place that did not sleep. There were little villages scattered throughout the forest each filled with the indigenous inhabitants. Dwayne was upset that I did not eat my food so he made me go up the stairs to finish it. "The people frown on the rejection of delicacies," He said. "After that, I would like you to join me on a stroll to the night market," He stated further. I almost bolted upstairs to finish the food. When I got to the room, some folded clothes were neatly placed on the bed. I was a little emotionally out because it reminded me of Georgia and I did not want to think of Stephan all broken in a hospital. The scene played over and over in my head as I ate alone in my room. I felt so tired and angry all of a sudden, then I felt sad, and a great despair washed over me. While I was eating a soft sweet pepper pepper-filled lamb meat. Tears began to fall in drips as my face contorted in

    96.The Ravens. ~Delmundo I woke up in pain as usual but this time I embraced the it and endured it for the chaos that I was going to start. I could not wait to completely heal up before I made my move. I could do it right here but I needed a secret way to communicate with Georgia. Frank was gone for the night and I doubted if I was going to be given my phone, if I still had a phone. The pain seared throughout my body as my brain thought of what do. I raised my hand to push a button by the bed that called for a nurse. Within seconds, a female nurse in blue scrubs walked in. She had a cold look in her eyes as she approached me. "Are you uncomfortable, Mr. Delmundo?" She asked with a professional courtesy. "I need to make a phone call, can you help me?" I asked curtly. She frowned slightly. "I was told not to let you anywhere near a phone because there could me a radioactive infection, your wounds are still healing," She said. It was all bullshit. I looked at her name tag and smi

    The Royal Twelve and the Raven's Talons. ~Delmundo Her plan to intimidate me into submission was pathetic and it was clear to me that she was pawn from the start. I had planned on getting her curious about what I intended to accomplish but there was no need. My plan was already in motion. I was not where I wanted to be which was on a fucking hospital bed and talking to my least favorite person. Lydia Phobos, also known as Sheevah. We had been in a relationship for a while and it had been a disaster. I broke it off and she had been my enemy ever since. To get back at me, she and her new rebound plotted to take my life and they almost succeeded. Here I was with various degree burns and broken bones stuck with a gloating ex. She still wanted me because a woman like her could not handle being rejected. Blame mommy and daddy for that. She was in a short leather skirt with matching boots that reached her thigh and a white form fitting blouse. It gave of some form of high school vibe.

    The Mysterious and Sensual Night Market. ~Pamela I gaped like an idiot at what I saw before me as the small ferry slowed to stop close to the grassy shores. The forest in front of us was thick, vast and wide. The wind was mild here but it was cold. I jabbed my hands into the pocket of my jacket to keep warm. "Are we going in there?" I asked Dwayne as the alighted and helped me down. The ferryman anchored the boat and got down to join us. He was a thin middle aged man who walked with a calm demeanor. He was so unassuming as he took gentle strides beside us. "Pamela, the gentleman walking with us is called Artem, he is our tour guide," Dwayne said as he walked. As we got closer to the woods, I saw that there was a gate in front of it. The iron work was intricately made to be intertwined with the trees and vines so nothing could be damaged. We got closer and I could hear classical music and the sounds of silverware. The gates opened up and we all entered. "Welcome to the Night Ma

    99. Unleashed. ~Delmundo Here I sat broken and in pain in a wheelchair surrounded by allies and deadly foes. I should not even be conscious right now due to the pain I was going through. However, that same pain was what kept me on edge and ready to spill blood. The tension in the air was tightly strung and the woman who had started all these was not faring well under the circumstances. I reveled in how uneasy and out of place Lydia was. When we were together, I had come to find out that she had no experience with situations like this. Women like Lydia were meant to be on the sidelines because I knew that she was not cut out for bloodshed. She was more of a politician than a killer. I was proud of how ready for blood my men were. I have been in countless gunfights and sustained more knife wounds than I could count. Frank, my giant right-hand man was glaring at my ex with death in his eyes. Out of all of my men, he was the most rage-filled. Lydia's involvement with Dwayne Cage had

    The Mysterious and Sensual Market II~Pamela I had no idea what to look forward to as I joined the rest of the night buyers in the large white tent. There was some sort of drinking and mingling going on as I walked in with Dwayne and his entourage. It looked like a freaking costume party as excited murmurs filled the air. I looked around and cursed as the I made eye contact with the crazy eyed woman from earlier. Her and the man who I assumed was her husband kept watching me like I was prey. It made me feel very uncomfortable and I glanced elsewhere. "Ignore them, Pamela, people like them find it difficult to take no for an answer," Dwayne said in assured tone but I was not convinced. "You just told me earlier that you would agree with them just to mess with Stephan," I reminded him. "All is fair in war, Pamela but I am man of my word, no harm shall come to you," Dwayne said. "Come, let us join the party, we do not want be rude, after all, it cost me a fortune just to get this

    ~PamelaI joined Georgia and the ravens in the house as the last line of defense in case the men outside fail to repel Dwayne's men. I endured many minutes of gun shots and death cries. The door was being hit with bullets but it did not penetrate through the door.I realized in terror they Stephan was out there among those flying bullet. It took all the will in my body not to run outside to Stephan. More gun shots and shouting took place outside while I stayed inside almost losing my mind at the thought of Stephan dying."We should be out there, helping," Minerva grumbled "Yet we are in here shaking in our boots, while the men have all the fun," She complained.I did not want to agree with her but she was right. However, Georgia shut her down."This is not battle of the sexes, Minerva, we all have a roll to play here and we will," She said in a stern voice.Minerva did not have any time to reply before a deafening and earth shattering explosion rocked everyone to the ground. The force

    ~DelmundoThis was the first time I would spill blood for someone whom I loved.The was the first time that I fought for someone instead of something. This was the first time I was fighting for a cause. For legacy, for brotherhood, for family, and as hard as it was to believe, love.I, Frank, Georgia and Pamela sat in the dining room hatching our own plan of action. Minerva had bad new."They outnumber us three to two," She said in a serious tone."What does that mean?" Pamela asked with an innocent demeanor.I stifled a laugh. "Means they outnumber us a hundred times our two hundred men in the area," Frank said."But we still have the advantage though, we know he is coming," I said."There is a way to give us a fair advantage but it will mean that one person is not joining the fight," I said."And who is that going to be?" Minerva asked, looking ready to protest if it was her."Frank, it's going to have to be you," I said."And what will I be doing, Boss, if I am not out there rippin

    ~DelmundoI could not bear to watch her go.I could not witness anyone leaving me again. I had sat on the sofa watching the bed that Pamela used to sleep in. A concerned Georgia, every chance she got, would come and check up on me.I could not blame her for doing so, after the whole thing with the pistol. She was checking to see if I did not have any suicidal urge which I assured her that I didn't. However, she had insisted on checking and I agreed to keep her mind at rest.It was going to be hell trying to live my life without Pamela, but I had been through one before. It was going to be a long road to healing from this pain I was feeling. I had begged frank to help me see her home safely. I was afraid that I would develop difficulties when it was actually time to free her.The next best thing that gave me some modicum of sanity was this room. Her scent was everywhere in the room and it felt like she marked her territory before she left. I took in her odors and aura as I sat. Even th

    PamelaI left Delmundo mansion that day. I did not know how he did it but a loading truck had pulled up in front of the house. Men in moving uniform were taking my belongings into the truck and I was downstairs in the living room with Georgia.She looked sad to see me go but believed that the right thing was happening. It was better for everyone this way. Stephan was nowhere to be found but I knew that her could not bear to see me leave him again for the second time. The moving men were already done so I gave Georgia a long overdue hug."I do not know how to thank you enough, please do no miss me too much," I said to her as tears threatened to fall from my eyes."Take good care of yourself, Pamela and do not forget me too quickly," She said. I nodded and let her go. I turned to the entrance and found Minerva waiting and looking a little bit downcast."Hey, I do not like you much but still, it sucks to see you go," She said and gave me a hard pat on the back."Thank you?" I said. Miner

    PamelaHe got me a new phone and told me that I could call whoever I wanted. There were no restrictions. That gesture was the most tempting of his offers but I was not going to give in. He knew that I was itching to talk to people and by people, I meant my friend Tiana.It would be an opening for him to dominate me and it will start that rollercoaster of a toxic love. A hot, sensual, debauched and addictive toxic love. I hated him so much and I loved him as deeply as well.It had been a painful revelation to me when Stephan told me what Dwayne did. I knew that I was a chess piece in his bloody game of war but to go to that extent. I tried to imagine the emotional pain Stephan had gone through just seeing that dress.When he told me, I ran upstairs and cried into my pillow. Stephan had said it to get a reaction but he would not see me break. He said it to hurt me. That had always been that problem.

    PamelaAs the days under his tyranny grew longer, I grew colder toward him.I had lived with two different types of men and I could tell the stark difference. Dwayne had been patient even though I was not into him that way.Stephan was suffocating and always hovering around. He had taught me something unknowingly and that was to always observe people. Now the more I looked at him, in silent observation and dull eyes, the more I saw him.These past few days had been very difficult to be around him. All those times when he had been forcing me to speak to me, caressing, cajoling, coaxing, begging. I had wanted to give in. For a Mafia lord, he was very good with words. The way he begged me was alluring and tempting."Let me into your high tower, Pamela, it's cold outside," He had once rumbled in my ear. I was not prepared for it. It had taken place in the bathroom. He said while our bodies touched. Then, I had almost succumbed to his hypnotic words but I managed to snap out of it.I wante

    ~DelmundoIt became an unhealthy habit to orbit around Pamela. The things that I bought her were ignored and abandoned in the corner of the room. Georgia helped me rouse her from bed today again because she just laid still and stared at nothing.It became an unwanted routine. I will try to break the ice and she would in return give me the cold shoulder. Truth be told, I was running out of options and I could not think of a new way to get through to her. Eat, sleep, and bathe. That was all she did.She talked to Georgia but she would not speak to me and as ridiculous as it sounded, it made me so jealous to see Pamela open up to her and not me. Today like yesterday, she was still on the bed and silently so. I sought out Georgia again for a new set of advice.This time I found her in the kitchen making hot soup that had a chicken-flavored aroma. It was midday and I had just given Frank the usual order to be on the lookout for anything suspicious. I had no doubt Cage was on the move. I co

    DelmundoI left her room confused and concerned.QIt was going to be tough not to hear her voice again but it was more than not talking. She showed no interest about leaving the room or getting off the bed. Since I was not getting through to her, I decided that a couple of gifts could change her mood.There was just one problem, I had no idea what could cheer her up so I did the next best thing, something I never thought that I would ever do in a long time. I sought out Georgia at the garden in the back yard. She was tending to the koi fishes in the pond.She had a forlorn expression on her face as she went about her work. Something was up with Georgia too. I could never understand how emotions applied to women, they were always a big mystery to me."What seems to be the problem, master Stephan? You have been standing there for a while," Georgia said as she threw crumbs of feed into the pond. I saw the colorful fishes flutter about to eat the crumbs."I need your help, Georgia," I tol

    DelmundoGetting her back into my life did not feel as good as I thought it would be. The victory felt more like a loss to me. Although I had her back, I felt like I had lost something in return. I did not want to admit but it scared me when I saw the light dim in her usually bright eyes.It terrified me because, I was responsible for what she was going through. When I had taken her back from Dwayne's territory, she had passed out from the shock, pain and stress. She was out unconscious until night fall. I might have struck her too hard but not enough to leave a mark or bruise.I knew that she was going through some form of headache but was just proving tough. I hovered by her room listening for any sounds to see if whether she was sleeping or awake but I heard nothing. Her behavior had me worried. I was too pumped up to sleep so I stayed awake all through the night.I paced back and forth the hall till I could not take it anymore. I was curious about what she was up to so I gently pu
