RISSA'S POVSoon enough, I was able to get rid of the guilt that had made it's way into my chest. Well actually, there was no way that guilt would have remained there. It didn't even stand a chance. The environment we were in was no place for sadness or guilt.After the terrifying—yet awesome, roller coaster ride of doom, I couldn't find a trace of any other emotions, apart from petrifying horror and exhilarating ecstasy mixed together.For the record, I'll pick this option a thousand times and over if asked to choose between amusement park and rotting in that monotonous inn all day. No matter the consequences. "Oh God! I haven't had this much fun in fucking ages." I screamed immediately we stepped out of the roller coaster cars, unable to hide my excitement.Thankfully, this city of ruins still had something interesting to offer. Something that adds life to the already dying city.Something to make the already impoverished people happy, and forget their problems. To me that sounds l
RISSA'S POV"I think I'll go with pink..." Lily said, as we peaked into a glass-windowed salon from across the road.I turned and looked at her like she was crazy. "I don't think you understand the meaning of 'low profile', do you?"She shrugged casually. "It's something I've always wanted to do. And now seems like the perfect time for it."I'm not surprised though. She does look like someone that could do that kind of thing. She has that killer energy that screams "BADASS!!!"She's like wind... Free and wild. She has no rules. She can do anything she wants without thinking about it twice. "Don't you think dyeing your hair pink would attract even more attention to you?" I asked her."Not really... It's not entirely odd. A lot people in this pack have coloured hair, so it's not like I'm doing something strange." She said in her defense.She had a point there. Surprisingly, this pack had a lot of people with coloured hair in it. So, she wouldn't necessarily get as much awkward stares l
RISSA'S POVNot again!No! This can't happen again."Stop... You're choking me." Lily muttered silently as she struggled for air."Stop it. You'll kill her!" I pleaded, mumbling through the hand over my mouth, but they didn't listen.Seeing that these people had no plans of letting us go, I had to take action. What do I have to lose? I do nothing, and they rape us and beat us to stupor. I fight back and I earn myself a chance of escape, no matter how small. So, I bit the hand over my mouth hard untill it was bleeding. Then I hit one the other man with my elbow. He bellowed in pain with his hands on his belly.Lily observed that I was trying to fight back, so she took the hint and joined in. Like she did at the club the previous night, she kicked the leader in his balls with her knee—I guess she has a thing for making men impotent."RUN!"We took off, but unfortunately we did not get far before a couple of hands grabbed us from behind and pulled us back. We tried our best, but we were
DRAX'S POVI woke up feeling sore all over.My knuckles and my ankles hurt like hell. I felt half paralyzed as I found it difficult to even roll around on the bed without triggering the pains all over my body.Slowly, all the sleepiness began to clear from my eyes, and the memories of the previous night slowly crawled it's way into my mind. The kicks, the punches... Only now did I start to feel the effects of that fight. It has been ages since I did as little as dodge a punch, let alone throw one.When my father was still alive, he used to teach me how to fight hand-to-hand combat. We would train together all day at the palace gym house.My father was a skilled fighter. Not just as a wolf, but also in human form too. So he taught me a lot about martial arts.Thanks to all his lessons, I was able to defeat those thugs that had attacked Rissa and Lily. Normally I would have opted for us to run away and avoid any physical confrontations, but then I overheard what they said to Rissa, and
DRAX'S POV"We've been compromised..." I announced to the girls. "Someone is watching us!" I warned.In an instant, Lily grabbed the small lamp on the table on threw it at the drone outside the window, causing it to fall and crash to the ground.I quickly dashed downstairs to the main entrance, and the girls followed behind me. I did a quick scan outside to make sure no one was watching.The coast seemed clear, so I went out and cornered to the back of the building where our window was.The drone was all broken, and only one of the blades was spinning when I got there. I picked it up and noticed the blinking green light under the camera, indicating that the camera was still transmitting information."The owner of the drone is hiding somewhere in this vicinity." I said, after observing that the drone uses has a low transmitting signal. Which means, it can't fly very far away from its controller, else it would lose connection.The pilot is definitely hiding somewhere, and probably watc
RISSA'S POVIt feels nice to not be the ones bound in chains for a change. I thought as I gazed upon our hostage in contempt.We binded his hands and feet, and tied him to a wooden chair in the room, and gagged his mouth. We only removed the gag whenever we asked him a question. Who the hell is he? Who was he working for? Why was he spying on us?Of course we had asked him all these questions, but he just wouldn't say anything reasonable. "Then it looks like you're going to be here for a long, long...time." Drax commented, probably trying to scare him into telling us everything."Do you know who I am? You all are going to pay dearly for this!" He shot fearlessly at us.Pretty bold for a teenager, I must say. There must be something giving him the guts to talk to us carelessly, seeing he's been held under arrest."Well we're not the ones helpless tied up to a chair, are we?" Drax asked him coldly."Just wait! In a short while you'll be the ones begging." He scoffed rudely.Suddenly,
RISSA'S POVWe took turns watching the prisoner from evening till dawn, because we didn't trust him. He does not look particularly dangerous, but in this case it's better not to judge a book by its cover. For all we know, he could be an undercover ninja spy with extraordinary kung fu skills. So it's better safe than sorry.Well, fortunately—or rather unfortunately, he was asleep the entire night. So we had just sacrificed our precious sleep for nothing. The asshole didn't even move and inch. Which made me think he was just a normal guy who happened to stumble into us at the park, and accidentally recognized us.I woke up at midnight and found Drax was still awake, watching the prisoner, after we had our turn watching him, so I whispered to him. "Drax, you need to get some rest. He's not going anywhere... He's fast asleep."I felt really concerned about him staying awake without any sleep. Drax has always been the one to go through the inconveniences just to make sure we're all ok.He
LILY'S POVA few days ago I was the mistress of the leader of a rogue gang. And now I'm a fugitive wanted dead. How unpredictable life can be.Well, it's not like it's a totally new feeling for me... All my life I've been on the run. From the very day that guard left me to out in the forest alone, I haven't lived a single day without having to look over my shoulder.The only difference was, this time I felt like I was doing the right thing. I felt like I was following the right people, and endangering myself for the right reasons.I don't regret my actions. As long as I'm aiding in the destruction of the man that made my life miserable, I'm very much okay.I'm just so invested in bringing justice to the man who's responsible for all this. Alpha Damian has to pay for all his evil deeds.Unfortunately, I have no idea when his justice will be served. We're still far from any real progress.On the bright side, at least I got to see my mother, and I found out that she's okay. That one righ
