Tori and I were asleep when we heard the loud, persistent knocking on the door. Alarmed and alert, I cautiously made my way towards the door with a bat in hand."Who's there?" I asked, cautiously."They're here. Dahlia, we need to get out of here as soon as possible"It was Lee. He sounded very frantic. With my heart pounding hard, I grabbed my backpack."What's going on?" Tori asked as we got out of the hotel room."They tracked us down to this place. Red and I knocked out a few of them. More will be showing up soon" Lee said as we walked towards the parking lot.Red was sitting in the driver's seat, clutching the steering wheel fiercely. His knuckles were turning white. We all got into the car and he sped off without a second thought. Three black cars were trailing behind us. "Oh, shit" Lee cursed, taking out a gun.My eyes widened."Calm down, girl. I'm not using it on you" he said with a smirk.Related chapters

RED For the first time since my mum's death, I switched on my phone only to be met with the smiling face of my mother.Sighing, I turned it off and pocketed it immediately. "You okay?" Lee asked from beside the driver's seat where I was seated."I'm fine" I said and he nodded."I guess we're almost there" he said. "Yup""Does Kevin know we're coming?""Of course, I told him""Okay"I looked at him.I knew he was trying to make a conversation but I wasn't really in a mood to talk. When I looked at him, I noticed how stressed out he looked. He kept stealing glances at his wristwatch when he thought I wasn't watching. He bit his lower lip, frowning at nothing in particular."Okay, will you just tell me what's going on?" I asked and he sighed, his head hung low."It's today" he whispered almost so quietly, I had to strain my ears to hear him."Wha- Oh....." I said, when realization hit me.

DAHLIA Unable to sleep, I quietly made my way towards the kitchen since I was thirsty. The kitchen was dark, so I switched on the lights."Thirsty?"I turned around with a start. Red was sitting on one of the stools with his back to me. He was shirtless and had a pair of grey sweatpants on with a necklace around his neck."Don't do that, you nearly gave me a heart attack" I scolded. He turned to look at me, a small smile on his face. "Sorry, didn't mean to" he said, biting his lower lip."It's okay... I was just thirsty" I said, taking out a bottle of water."What about you?" I asked."Couldn't sleep" he mumbled, staring at the bottle of water on the kitchen counter."You okay?" I asked, sitting down on a stool close to him.He sighed and closed his eyes, rubbing his temples."I don't know" "Do you want to talk about it?" I asked. He sighed."It's just... I can't stop thinking about my mum. She went

RED I was slowly loosing it as I paced back and forth in Kevin's study. My mind was still reeling from the information I'd just gotten. I didn't want to believe it.That monster can't be my father. There has to be some sort of mistake. "I know you're having a hard time taking it in. It's the truth no matter how painful it sounds."I stared at the small wooden box on the desk. I didn't want this. I didn't want to know what my mum wanted me to know. I didn't want to hate her. I just couldn't. This would change everything. "You should take the box""No" I rapsed, running a hand through my messy hair."It's very important for you to know the whole details if you must find a way out of this mess".I shook my head, swallowing hard. "No, I just can't..."Kevin walked up to me, gazing right into my eyes."You're scared"I stared at him. Somehow, he'd caught me off guard with that statement. "I'm not. I'm

DAHLIA I rubbed my eyes tiredly as I made my way to the kitchen to grab a coffee.Kevin was sitting on the stool, sipping a cup of coffee."Morning, Sugar" He said, grinning at me."Morning, Kevin""Lemme guess.... Coffee?"I raised a brow."Help yourself to it"I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat down on a stool."You spoke to Red yesterday" he said, smiling."Well, I did what I could do" I shrugged."You did a nice thing, Dahlia. He came to my study. and told me he had changed his mind" I shrugged again, trying not to look too pleased."What I want to ask you, is if you would join him on his quest""Look, Red saved my life. I owe him one. If it's the least I can do, I'll be with him all the way"Kevin grinned, his eyes twinkling mischievously."You have no idea what it would mean for him. He's starting to grow fond of y

RED I stepped out of my room, running a hand through my hair. My mind clouded with several thoughts. I walked into the sitting room still feeling exhausted. "Morning, Red" Kevin said, grinning at me."Morning" I said, avoiding his eyes. I was still quite confused about my mum's message. Whatever was her reason to be suspicious about him, I desperately wanted to figure it out. Why and how wasn't he trustworthy? Kevin was at least thirty years older than was am and he didn'tn't seem to be the deceitful type. Or was he just really good at pretending?"Here, sit down" he said, patting the space beside him on the couch.Eyeing the spot, I stepped forward hesitantly."I don't bite, come on"Rolling my eyes, I sat down on the couch."I heard you were able to discover something, yesterday" he said and I clenched my fist, putting on an expressionless facade."Not exactly" I said, biting my lower lip.

DAHLIA I can't believe I kissed him. How could I have done that? I'm engaged!I heaved a sigh, rubbing my eyes. No doubt, Red's attractive but I can't have feelings for him. He doesn't believe in love or relationships, so what's the need for it?My phone vibrated. It was a message from Tori.Get your ass to the sitting room right now and stop sulking around in the kitchen! We're about to leave. The tree house, remember?I rolled my eyes and slipped my phone into the front pocket of my jeans.I walked into the sitting room, avoiding Red's gaze."Oh great, she's here finally" Tori said, smirking at me.Lee raised a brow as he glanced from Red to me."Let's go" Red said, leading the way. We got into the car and he drove off."What was that?" Lee whispered from beside me."What?""What's going on between you two?""Nothing" I blurted immediat

RED My heart thudded madly as I sped towards Kevin's home. I couldn't help but feel terrified. How on Earth did he get his hands on Lia? She was right there under the tree house a while ago. "Keep calm, Red. Don't let him know he's getting to you. We can leave the basement with no one getting hurt" Lee said to me."Well, I want to kill him with my bare hands" I said as we got out of the car."Let's go in" Tori said, taking out her gun.We cautiously stepped into the basement. It was creepy and dark. There were dried blood stains on the walls and floor. My stomach churned uncomfortably at the thought of Lia being tortured. "There you are" Kevin said when we found him.Lia was bound to the chair, gagged. She kept shaking her head frantically, her eyes filling up with tears."Let her go!" I said."Oh, Lia. Your Knight in leather jacket has finally arrived!" Kevin said with a sick smile on his face.

DAHLIA 'Arch'So that's his name. It suits him. Red or should I say, Arch frowned as the information sank in."Wait, w-what?" Arch and his twin brother chorused, their eyes wide with shock and confusion."I-I don't understand, Nana. You never told me I had a sibling. But, a twin, seriously?" Axel said."Why don't you come closer, Sweetheart. We need to talk" Arch's grandma said to Axel."Right" he mumbled before wheeling himself into the sitting room. "Arch, darling. You should sit down. You look drained" Quietly, he sat down on the couch. "You three should stay calm while I get you guys something to drink. Girls, come with me" Tori and I followed her to the kitchen."Oh and please call me Theresa" Arch's grandma said. "Of course"We ordered pizza and soon we were all settled around the round table."You see, your mother had a lot of secrets. Some of them, she shared with me. You must understand

Out Of The Blue Epilogue
Dahlia gazed at the beautiful streets of Manhattan from the lobby of the top floor of her husband's company building.She couldn't help but be mesmerized each time she thought of everything they'd gone through to get to this point. Her hand rested on her bulging stomach and she smiled to herself. She could remember the feeling of panic she'd felt when she'd found out that she was pregnant with Arch's first child, seven years ago. She'd been shaken with horror because she couldn't bear to raise a child with his or her father in prison. For the sake of her love for Archer, she'd kept the child. The past seven years has been nothing but hell. She could remember clearly the day he was released from prison.*****Flashback***********Thirteen months earlier, Dahlia hurriedly got her six years old son dressed with her heart thudding madly against her chest. Her son who was a carbon cop

3RD PERSON "You don't give up, do you?" Skull said, stumbling to his feet. Red leaned against the wall, glaring at him. "No, not this time. I'm bringing you down even if I have to go down with you" Red said, ignoring the aches in his body."Fine, you asked for this"Skull clenched his jaw and lunged forward with his knife. The tip of the knife made contact with Red's skin briefly. Red ducked and dodged, arms and feet working swiftly. Outside the room, Vanessa and Axel had caught up with the others. They had a few bruises here and there. "What's going on?" Vanessa asked, looking confused."Red is in there with Skull" Vanessa and Axel paled instantly."He's going to get himself killed" Axel said, terrified.He grabbed a fire extinguisher and began to smash the door handle.****Red groaned, clutching his rib section. Skull was a bloody mess, he could barely stand on both feet.Red knew it

DAHLIA I tried moving my arms but failed since the ropes binding me was tight as hell. Skull had made sure of that. I groaned inwardly, trying to move my fingers. It was of no use, I couldn't get myself out of there. I let out an exasperated sigh. The door of the room opened and Trevor walked in. I heaved a sigh of relief when he began to untie me. "Here, use it only when it's necessary. Shoot to disarm, okay?" He said, placing a gun in my hands. "Go, find Red. I don't know where Skull is keeping him but you have to find him before it clocks twelve" Trevor said. I nodded and waited till he was gone before I sneaked out of the room. I just knew that I had to find Red as quickly as I could. I moved past some of the workers, my hood hiding my face from view. "Wait a minute, isn't that Dahlia Malone?" One of the men said and I froze."It's her, alright"Panicking, I increased my pace. One of them grabbed me from behind

UNKNOWN "Boss, Silver Stone is here" Dagger, my new top assassin said to me.Bringing the glass of martini to my lips, I stared at him."Tell him to come in" I ordered. Dagger left my office and shortly returned with Stone."How's it going with that rebellious son of mine?" I asked.Trevor smirked."He has no idea what you're planning for him" "Good. Very good, Stone. Now, tell me, what are they planning to do?" I asked, rubbing my fingers together."For starters, they are planning to assassinate you in the most gruesome way possible"I chuckled."He underestimates me after all, doesn't he?" I said."Of course, he does. He wants you to come after him. He says he's sick of running""Tell me more" I demanded."He's going to have you cornered when you come after him. I think you shouldn't underestimate him, either""You can leave now" I said and he nodded, before leaving my office.I chuckled,

RED "She was right all along" Lee said, letting out a sigh."She was" I agreed."I can't believe she did what she did" He said, watching Lia as she dressed Vanessa's burns. "She can be daring most of the time. You should know that" I shrugged."D'you think she's starting to feel something for Axel?"I smirked."Maybe? Who knows? After all, I was once in love with her. She's not so bad, Lee. She just has so many problems. She's angry with herself... angry at everyone else. She's not happy.... She's depressed" I said.Lee frowned, biting his lower lip."I guess everyone deserves a second chance" he said.Lia walked up to me, pressing a kiss to my forehead."How's Axel?" I asked."Oh, he's fine. He's exhausted and his neck is sore from being choked by some huge creature. That's what he told me anyway" "Huge creature? Huhn?" Lee said, shaking his head, amused."Axel has a thing for exaggeration

DAHLIA Panic invaded my mind when I realized that Red's temperature was skyrocketing. His breathing was strained and even in his unconsciousness, pain was evident on his face. Sharp tremors took over his body, it was terrifying.Axel walked in with the heated knife."He's worsening" I said, tears filling my eyes."Oh God" Axel breathed.I took the knife from him."Hold him down" I said and Axel nodded.I pressed the hot knife to his infected wound, tears threatening to spill.The door opened.Lee and Tori walked in, looking flustered."How bad is it?" Lee asked, taking out the drugs."Very bad. He's worsening" I said, wiping away the sweat on his chest.Lee paled, worry evident on his face.I managed to force the right dosage of the drugs into Red's mouth."How exactly do you know what drug to give him?" Lee asked."My brother, Nolan. He got into a brawl with so

DAHLIA "What the hell just happened?" Lee asked, looking very worried."He's burning up" I said, placing a hand on Red's forehead."Oh shit. I think I know what's wrong with him" Lee said, his eyes wide with panic. I watched him grab Red's arm and began to take off the bandage on his arm.We all let out a horrified gasp. His wound looked somewhat red and inflamed. "Okay, this is bad" Tori muttered."I can fix this but he'll need medicine" I said.Lee clenched his jaw."Tell me what you'll need. I'll get it" he said."Lee, you know it's risky" Vanessa said."So, what do we do? We let him die?" Tori spat, glaring at her."I was just going to say that he has to go with someone" Vanessa said, her face pale."I think we should tie her up and gag her. She won't be able to do anything, that way" Axel said, leaning against the wall. "Woah, you're actually.... standing" Lee sai

RED Lia had helped Vanessa to get cleaned up. She no longer looked like she'd just been dragged through a pile of stones but it didn't change the fact that she looked miserable. "Can I have a glass of water, please?" She said to Lee, her voice shaky and weak.I couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her. As far as I was concerned, Vanessa had always been Skull's favourite lady. Lee handed her a glass of water and I watched her trembling hands grip the glass tightly.Lee nudged me."We need to talk" he whispered."Alright" I muttered."You guys go ahead. I'll be fine" Vanessa said, bringing the glass of water to her split lips. Lee and I left the sitting room. Tori and Lia were sitting on the kitchen counter. "I know you guys have a lot of questions-" I said and Lia shook her head."Actually, we have tons of questions. Who is she? How does she know you two? How does she know that we're here?

RED I let out a groan as I opened my eyes. My head was pounding and I felt a very intense nausea roll through my system. I slowly sat up on the couch, my head spinning."Hey, calm down. With how drunk you were last night, you're bound to have a horrible hangover" Lia said, placing a hand on my shoulder.I stared at her silently, afraid that if I tried to say anything, I would puke."I need- to use- the bath-room" I croaked, bile rising up my throat rapidly.She helped me up, steadying me as I swayed. She placed a hand on the small of my back as she led me to the bathroom. Tiredly, I got into the bathroom, puking my brains out until I felt so empty. "You should take your bath, you'll feel better" she said. My knees buckled and her eyes widened as I slid down the wall.She rushed to my side, placing her palm on my forehead. "Red, you're burning up" I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths. I felt aw
