TAYLOR MACKENZIE

I knew I caught both Mark and Mayor off guard by my comment. Mayor's grip on my jaw loosened while Mark was staring at me, as I saw through my side eye.

"Let go Thompson, those lips are important to both of us."

He hesitated for a while before leaving me.

I rubbed my jaw, trying to act unaffected but the pain was something else.

"So, Taylor,” Mayor said, his voice smooth. "About your accident. How are you feeling after stabbing yourself just so you could leave this place to that uncomfortable hospital?"

I offered him a cheeky smile. "Never been better, sometimes day offs are just the best, you should try traveling Thompson, it'll help you relax and get your mind off the list of people you think hate and are trying to kill you. Who knows, I might even tag along."

"It's good to know you're okay," he said, ignoring my last statement.

"Actually, I'm a bit shaken up, but it's nothing I can’t handle. I actually feel a lot better now, better than I've felt since I got int

    THOMPSON VOLKOVThe early morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of my bedroom as I got ready for my daily workout. I had alot on my head now, people I needed to kill all because of their stupidity and inability to understand and cooperate with me. After a quick wash at the sink, I splashed my face with cool water, shaking off the remnants of sleep. I was ready and descended the staircase, the steps echoing softly under my weight.I was just going to walk out of the house but in the kitchen, I perceived something amazing. The aroma of fresh breakfast which started drifting through the air. It was a pleasant, yet unexpected scent."Who's it?" I asked, entering the kitchen."Oh, Thompson."I frowned as I was greeted by the sight of Taylor standing by the stove, busy with a skillet and a variety of ingredients spread out on the counter. She looked up as I entered, her face breaking into a warm smile.“Good morning, Thompson” Taylor said cheerfully. “I’m making breakfast. I t

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEI walked back into the mansion, a hand rubbing my neck due to the grip Mayor had on me earlier. He was an asshole. As I got into the house, I met Mark, he noticed as I rubbed my neck and immediately approached me. "Are you okay?"I took a step backwards. "Yes, why do you care?" "Your neck, it's-""Thompson tried to kill me. News flash, I didn't die."He reached out to touch me. "It must have hurt."I moved backwards again. "Don't touch me Mark, I mean it?"He took back his hands, burying them into his pocket. "Why are you still mad at me?" "I don't know, just don't feel like talking to you, just mind your business.""I'm responsible for you, I watch you.""Then do it from miles away, you don't have to be so close," with that, I walked away. I didn't stop or turn to him until I arrived at my room. I exhaled and relaxed.A week had passed since I and Samantha started our revenge journey.

"In this life, we'll be faced with many challenges, from lots of enemies I'll call it, that's why we have to be ready for anything, as well as equiped.""Where are you driving at?" I asked.She faced me and extended her hand, giving me the gun with a serious look."What?" I stood to my feet."Calm down Taylor, take the gun and shoot that vase."I looked at the vase she talked about before returning my stare to her face. "I have held a gun before, once, Diego gave it to me. However I couldn't use it when I needed to, I-""You panicked Taylor, you were in shock and let your emotions take over you. Now is different, if you let yourself, you could master it and yield it whenever you want."I glanced at the gun, my face falling into a look of apprehension. "I'm sorry Samantha but, I don’t really want to use it. It has lots of memories attached to it." Sam

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEWhen Samantha said I'd be exhausted when she's done, I didn't think it would be as painful as it felt now. My back was hurting, so was my shoulders and fingers. I was quiet in the car as she drove me back to the garden where the tunnel was. "You good?" She asked and I nodded. "You're going to need to work hard and exercise everyday so your body can adapt to the stress and load you're giving it."I gave her a thumbs up and she led me to the tunnel. "Can you crawl?" She asked."Yeah, I'll try," I said. She bid me farewell and I found my way. I pushed myself until I slipped into my room unnoticed, being careful enough to avoid any unnecessary noise.I didn't strip any of my clothing but climbed on my bed collapsing onto it as my mind was still swirling with the training Samantha had made me go through. Well, that was past tense, I needed to get some sleep, no matter how little so that I could have a little energy before Mark would start his day by walking into my room

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEMark’s voice was steady but lacked conviction. "It’s nothing, Mayor."Mayor’s face immediately twisted into a scowl. Without a word, he crossed the room and slapped Mark hard across the face. The sound echoed sharply through the room. My heart missed a beat at the impact but Mark just stood, unmoved with his head still bent. "Why do you sound so soft?" he growled."I apologize, I was just getting Miss Taylor ready for the day," he answered."Really? And why are you just doing that now, what happened to earlier."Earlier? What did he mean. I looked at the clock and saw it was already twelve. Shit, Make didn't wake me up early, he gave me enough time to sleep. Screw this, he didn't deserve to he beaten by Mayor, I had to do something. "My apologies.""I don't need your apology, you'll be punished-""No! Stop."Both of them looked at me and I gave an awkward chuckle. "You see Mayor, I called Mark and was just yelling at him for waking me up early."Mayor’s eyes narrowed

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEIt was now evening after I locked myself in my room due to the attitude Mark showed me. I wouldn't lie, I was angry he yelled at me, he was an asshole for doing that. My stomach rumbled and I knew it was time to eat. I inhaled deeply and decided to open the door. However, before I could, it opened, displaying Mark, standing by the entrance. I rolled my eyes, I would have argued that I locked it but who was I kidding, Mark would surely have the keys to everywhere and everything, my life included. "What?""Dinner," he answered, showing me the covered food in the tray he carried."I'll pass," I made to close the door but he blocked it with his legs."Your stomach says otherwise, I could hear it from outside."I stared at him. "My problem.""Is that so?" He asked and opened the covered food. That was it, I lost my mind."Screw you!" I grabbed the food from him and rushed inside my room, eating like my life depended on it.

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEThe car ride felt like an eternity for me. I had controlled my bleeding nose and was quiet in the confined space. It wasn't a new thing as Jason and his mother locked me up on several occasions. I felt the car halt to a stop. The truck was opened and the light hit my eyes that I squinted. "You're riding with us," was all I heard before I was dragged from the trunk and pushed into the backseat where Donovan sat. He smiled on seeing me. "You look shitty," he threw a white handkerchief towards me. "Clean all those blood." "What do you want from me?" I asked."I said, clean the fucking blood," he repeated."So what? Are you going to kill me?" I asked defiantly.Suddenly, he grabbed my neck pushing me backwards and slamming my head against the car window. A shout escaped my lips before he slammed his strong palm against it, sealing both my nose."When I talk, you listen, you know why? Because you're my whore and I'mma fucking kill and dispose your carcass where not eve

    TAYLOR MACKENZIEI glared at Mark before approaching and collecting the medicine bag. "Thanks doc," I appreciated. I walked back toMark who just stood near the car, his eyes on me. As I got closer, he moved toward me, his strides purposeful and brisk.“Hey, Taylor!” he called out, his voice carrying a blend of warmth in contrast to how it was before. However, I wasn't listening to to whatever he wanted to say."Let's just go," I said but he grabbed my arm before I could walk past him. He reached out and took the hospital bag from me."Calm down, Taylor."I looked at him before giving a very fake smile. "Okay, how about this? Hey, Mark. Thanks for coming to pick me up, it means alot?" He chuckled softly. "Let’s get you home," he said. I rolled my eyes and walked ahead of him until we approached the car. I got inside and he did the same, after strapping our seatbelts, we drove off.As the ride proceeded, Mark gaze flickered toward me, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern."

I was processing the meaning of her words when I realized her voice sounded familiar."Is that, you?" She smiled and looked up from her clipboard, her eyes meeting mine. She nodded gently and I gasped, wondering how she passed Mayor's men. Samantha removed her nose mask revealing her familiar face and I was left breathless momentarily."Samantha?" I whispered. "How did you pass them?" I asked."Wasn't hard, and that's a story for next time." "No, I want to know, tell me!"She inhaled. "I have a spy, disguised as one of Mayor's men, I won't tell you who, that's how I get intels""Wow," I whispered, tears filling up my eyes. "I was scared. I thought you'd never find me." "That's nearly impossible," she answered.I sniffed. "Can I, please hug you.""Sure," she said and I rushed forward, enveloping her in a tight embrace.
