The detective said quietly in a calm manner, with his facial expression indiscernible. Exactly not how I had expect it to be. Because the cops who had interrogated me before I moved in Galveston, generally had their faces stone cold. In the same professional manner, to make thieves scared. But this one seem quite different."What exactly do you want to know." I questioned in a dull spiritless tone, maintaining eye contact with him. I was at the station, after being caught, handcuffed and shoved into the cop's car like a thief. And currently, I was in the detective's office. When they first took me in, he had taken one good look at me, and told someone to unbind my hands from the handcuffs."Firstly, your name." He responded solemnly, staring at me with caution."Aiden. Aiden Wyatt." I provided after few moments of silen
It was the other guy.Somehow, he had managed to get up, found a rope, and was strangling me with it.He applied pressure on it with force, to stop my breathing. Something which made my brain feel chilly, and rendered my body quite numb.The guy used all his might to cause strangulation on my neck, as the sound of him gritting his teeth could be heard.There was no way I could call for help, or help my self. Everything about me was mentally held captive, because the supply of oxygen into my lungs, was being hindered with him tightening his grip on the rope around my neck. Choking me to the extent, that I could feel my eye balls creasing right into their sockets.His companion who I had been beating earlier, tried to stand but his leg was in a bad shape. So he crawled away from underneath me, so he could catch his breath.Hot tears sprang to my eyes, as I tried in vain to r
"Please, don't to this." The girl pleaded, with tears streaming down her cheeks."Shut up, bitch." One of them snapped, raising his hand to slap her in the face, something which turned her head to the other direction. And she flinched at the impact.Thinking they were finally going to have their way with the girl, because the place denoted absence of noise, they pressed her to the wall, and gripped out the G-string panties from her yoga pants, that she outcried in pain.I could feel my body invigorating for war. Because I hated men violating woman.I sucked in a big puff of air, then let it out immediately."Hey, assholes. Let the girl go. Cause you wouldn't like your pudding faces being decorated with several bruises. Before getting arrested and charged over carrying out sexual harassment. You morons." I barked at them.At the sound of my voice, they snapped their heads towards my direction. Including the girl that was being manhandle
Flashback.Apenimon Military Academy, six years ago."If any one of you make an attempt to run away, because you're chicken enough to face difficulties, then good luck because you would be running through the forest, with no food or water for five days, and die of starvation or get eaten by wild animals." The captain that was dressed in a tailored button down black uniform, with a silver metallic barge at the pocket of his left breast, yelled at us the newbies. Leaning into his Jeep, he took another drag of his cigarette, and blew out curly snake-like puffs in the air.We were in the middle of valleys, mountains, and hills. To top it all, a giant forest.There was a straight colter road that led to the dorms, offices, training ground and the school, Apenimon Military Academy.A fifteen years old me, stared around with a deep frown marring my facial features. Not a bit scared of th
Winston Ackley's High school. Wasn't as bad as people label it. You just had to study, get good grades, and try all your possible best to stay out of trouble. Though, there are times trouble comes your way even when you're avoiding it. Especially when you're a mute girl who still managed to be at top of the class. This stirred up envy and hatred from girls to be precise. I was walking towards my locker, and failed to take notice of an extended leg that someone had put out. And this made my foot collide into the stretched out leg, and the impact sent me flying to the hallway floor, with my homework and text books scattered all over the floor. Pain shot through my whole body, but I knew I had to endure it. To be strong because I was never one to appear weak. Never one to make people get the satisfaction of me being hu
"You're no damn son of mine." A rage filled masculine voice hollered around the neighborhood. Something which made me stir in my sleep. My ears became alert, and started making out the sounds of feet ascending the stairs.And then, a door was being jerked open."Yeah, the fact that I have your blood running through my veins doesn't make me your son." A much younger masculine voice shouted back in anger."Your mother, that skinny bitch should've taken you along with her. You're worthless. Dropped out of school for no good reason."It was strange, because such hadn't occurred in the neighborhood before. The voices as well."How dare you call mom a bitch, when its you who chase after everything in skirts. You can't keep it in your pants. You're a disgrace to fatherhood!" The owner of the much younger voice bellowed at the top of his lungs.And right at

During this time, you would be unable to think straight, because when it takes full charge of your mind, it controls the parts of your body. Most times, you could find yourself struggling to open an unlocked door with you heart in your throat, and you panting heavily.Fear was what I saw in the eyes of everyone at the grocery store, when four thieves with black masks bursted in and started firing shots into the air, with their guns."Everybody, get down on the floor!" One of the criminal bellowed at the top of his lungs, then raised his hand up to fire a shot into the air.This was followed by screams that sounded all around the grocery store, and people began laying
