HIS SILENT BATTLE.
Last Updated:
2021-12-18 06:38:11“This is all a part of your scheme to keep a close eye on me, isn’t it?” Marcel narrowed her brows at the boy behind the driver’s seat of the car, fully aware of his obvious intentions.
The very next day she was literally pestered out of bed to take a shower and hurriedly munch on breakfast before been prompted to get out the house and into his vehicle, only then being told that they were heading to a local diner several blocks away, almost at the center of their hometown; to work as a part-time bus-boy and waitress.
“Of course it is, the band is splitting up and we need money to get by, so any honest cash is good enough for me.” Nate didn’t even try to deny his methods of keeping her beside him, coupled with the fact that he didn’t want her being all alone with the way things were going with her family and

“Hey guys, let me know what I can do to help.” Marcel passively offered, unsure of how the glaring set of three boys and one girl would respond to them working there… from their silent reaction it was difficult to say whether or not they were in for a smooth sailing or entering rough waters. “Go out in front and just don’t mess up the orders.” One of the guy seemingly in his late teens, probably eighteen years or so, scuffed at her in pure resentment, while the others blatantly ignored their introduction. Apparently they weren’t too keen on being friendly. Sensing the sudden strange hostility now evident from their reaction, Nate brushed aside the negative feeling of their first impression, motioning Marcel through the doors they just came in moments ago, collecting an apron for them

“What’s your problem dude? Can’t you watch where you’re going?” “Knock it off Tony; just let it go before we end up at Acre Hills too.” “Sorry man...” “No way in hell! What?… you think just because you’re related to the old grump that runs this place, that you can walk around here like some big shot? humph! guess again.” The other two boys made no secret of their displeasure, voicing out bitter insults towards Nate as he accidentally brushed shoulders with the one called Tony, on his way to the kitchen carrying a tray of dirty dishes. “Look man, we’re just here to work, that’s all… I don’t need any trouble.” Even if he wanted to hit the loose lipped fellas for their stupid remarks, he surely had a lot to

The day could not end any sooner for the newbie’s at the diner, of course the others; particularly Rex and Sarah, took the opportunity at closing hour to exaggeratingly launch a complaint against Marcel in her presence, thinking that she was one of those girls that was all bark and no bite when it came to answering to accusations made by numbers. “Alright you two, tomorrow’s going be a lot more tight, so I’m going to need you to ‘reach’ here for six-thirty. Rex and Tony will be off until Friday; that means Nate you’ll work the register, Sarah you’ll stay out in front taking orders and you… Rayburn, you’ll be assisting Jim in the kitchen. “Aunty Betty, you know I don’t trust other people handling my ingredients when Tony isn’t here, if she messes things up then the

A part of Marcel knew that Nate was trying to deflect from being completely honest in answering her question pertaining to the reasons behind him suddenly dropping out of school, yet at that moment the rest of the mysteries seemed much more important than his educational status. “I don’t know what’s going on, but we’ll figure this out together.” He assured, pulling up at the entrance of his home and parking a few meters out in front. “Puff! My life is so complicated; I really wished I had a time machine to go back to that night when it all began… if I didn’t insist on going out…” “M, stop doing this to yourself; none of us could have predicted that things would turn out the way it did.” Nate interrupted, leaning to his right; stretching closer towards Marcel in the

Present day…. Unexpectedly, the following morning Nate was the one to be disturbed from his pleasant slumber, not realizing the space beside him was empty and the warmth of a certain beauty was missing, until he felt an irritating object poking at his nose, jaws and even his closed eye lids. “Hmm… M, what are you doing?” The boy subconsciously grumbled in a low husky voice, wondering what on earth she was up to, literally poking around his face. “You look so sweet when you’re not awake, pretend I’m not here.” Marcel continued to hover at the side of his bed, resting one elbow on the mattress with her chin in her palms and her knees bent on the carpeted floors below, while her free hand stubbornly traced the outline of his near perfect facial features.&

“This has nothing to do with Marcel, stop looking for a reason to blame her.” Nate instinctively defended. In other matters he could reluctantly ignore their accusations knowing that the girl was capable of handling the issue on her own, but having a strange premonition that things were about to get a lot more complicated if his previous intuition was correct, for the sake of protecting her from the possible storm to come; he desperately wanted to deflect any sort of blame towards her… surely rumors must be spreading like wildfire. “Open your eyes, or are you blind? This place use to be packed with customers, but since the jinx got here, it’s completely empty.”Sarah stretched out her hands in the open space as if presenting evidence to support her claims. “That’s bull… umm… ri

“Wait a minute, this director… Victory what’s his name, he had already told you about your father… then what about aunt Ruby? We only know that she’s missing, how could he announce her death when she wasn’t anywhere near Acre Hills?” Nate openly questioned. “This is sheer bullshit; he stood there lying through his teeth when I asked if my mom came to visit; if she was there then he must know where both my parents are.” “Ha! Stop pretending, you two obviously planned the entire thing.” Sarah refused to believe a single word, in fact like most of the villagers she instantly accepted what was heard and retold by others… why? because of what happened in the past. It was all somehow connected to that one person. “I don’t care if you believe me or not, but the director is lying, I know he is.” Marcel swallowed the bitterness at the back

“Is this about what happened the last time I was there? because if it is…” “No M, it’s hard to explain, but umm… well I wasn’t the one that packed your belongings, I brought it back to my place after I found it stacked together at the bottom of the stairs.” “I don’t understand, does that mean someone else was in the house?” Marcel frowned in confusion waiting for a response as the car drove closer and closer to the familiar vicinity. “That’s the thing, none of the neighbors I asked saw anyone coming in or out of there and the weirdest part is… it wasn’t just your stuff, the rest of the house was completely cleared out.” “What the hell! That’s crazy! Were they all suffering from temporary blindness? How c

SOUL BOUND FATE IS SEALED.
An unknown amount of time later… “Ahh! My head… what the f*** just happened to me?” Victor gasped for breath in a daze as if emerging from a suffocating nightmare… coughing several times as he struggled to lift his weak limbs off the titled office floors trying to ease the unbearable pain hammering away at his very bones… his heavy eyes lids almost sealing shut… squinting with thin layers of dried blood trailing along his haggard face, his dark orbs desperate for the sight of light and the call of reality… red droplets of stains on his once white lab coat further adding disgust to the monster’s miserable state. Just a while ago he was no doubt on the verge of going mad with power, determined to kill any and every one standing in his way. But now… was he being forced into accepting defeat without having the slightest idea who his true rival was all along? “The question is not… what ‘has’… but what ‘will’… happen to you.” A strange voice echoed around him, yet almost
SOUL BOUND HIS EYES...
“The Depository? But Master she’s our first test subject for the luminary drug trial and the host carrying the antigen to suppress the side effects; we might still need her to keep the others alive.” One of the doctors anxiously expressed his concerns hearing Victor’s command and seeing the girl being placed on another available wheeled bed ready to be taken to her death. “We have the old man and enough patients in the building to form my army; once the process is completed I’ll move ahead as planned.” His brief statement no doubt made those assisting him quite stunned and lost for words as it instantly occurred to them that their leader was perhaps now seeking a different course of action… one contradicting their original beliefs. “What about the villagers… our family…
SOUL BOUND CRUEL.
“No! Don’t touch me! Stay away from me you monster!” Marcel defensively screamed, frantically retreating a few steps, bumping into nearby carts and patients’ bed dreadful of the outcome awaiting them all. Indeed, reality had proven to be far more terrifying than expectations and ones’ own imagination. Maybe she too had underestimated the situation; there was no time to reason, reduce the impact or to create another distraction… it was happening right now whether or not they were truly prepared for the consequences. “Get her!” Victor demanded sullenly, standing in place watching her squirm about in obvious protest, yet he was in no mood to relish the scene… his tolerance was already worn thin. “Leave me alone!” The girl struggled in anxiousness as a guard quickly grabbed hold of her han
SOUL BOUND ENOUGH!
“Hey! Be careful… don’t hurt her.” Nate angrily fought to break free from the guards hold as the men rushed forward almost immediately after noticing them a few steps ahead. Though they were ready to put an end to all this… to finally confront the vindictive doctor, that didn’t necessarily mean that they would allow themselves to be harassed without putting up a fight… well, at least the boy wasn’t about to let them injure his girlfriend. However, Marcel simply rolled her eyes at his exaggerating remarks wondering to herself… ‘What did he expect… that they would spread out a red carpet and escort them politely? For heaven sake, they were possibly being led to their deaths, this wasn’t some award ceremony… and besides, how fragile did he really think she was? “Shut
SOUL BOUND LOUD.
“Oh crap!” the girl blurted out, immediately recognizing the owner of the voice despite the grumbling sound of static frequency announcing his every word from the other side of the small funnel shaped speakers fixed just a few inches below the white reflective pvc ceiling stationed throughout the building. “If I’m not mistake, Nathaniel Estefan should be right beside you at this moment.” Victor paused then emphasized in a casual manner… “Don’t worry… the more… the merrier.” No doubt the duo was rather confused by his reaction. ‘Shouldn’t he boiling with anger or at least a tad bit hostile?’ Marcel glanced at Nate with a look of uncertainty, her questioning thoughts easily understood by the young man. “I’m sure he’s pissed.”
SOUL BOUND HIS PERSONALITY.
Staring at the personification of pure evil standing right before them, neither woman could cry out in fear, anger or agony even if they wanted to, for their mental battle was not one they could easily overcome at will. “Don’t give me that look; I’m only trying to help.” Victor spoke yet again with a fake expression of pity and concern that could not be disguised as he found a sense of excitement seeing the two innocent souls in such a miserable state. “Then again… blood is always the most important thing and that is… something I’m willing to kill for.” He continued… his prospective obviously differing on a whole other level than what those words would have meant to any other sane individual. “Now I can’t possibly ask you to abandon them in their times of need&hell
SOUL BOUND NO MORE HIDE AND SEEK...
Since the remaining M-TIFY containers were nowhere near their reach, the only other logical explanation Victor could come up with was that… ‘Something must have happened in the control room’… as to when exactly it all started, he had no clue. But if it was before the fumes had run its course, then they truly had no idea where the girl could be at this precise moment... everything could very well be a fabricated scenario this time around. Thankfully, when it came to Maxwell he was indeed right where the cameras placed him. ‘What are they planning to do now? Why leave the old man behind after all the trouble they went through to find him?’ “Master, should we also send someone to the cold storage area?” Bradford’s words interrupted the man’s internal reasoning realizing that he had neither disconnected the call nor said an

Flashback ends**** “I think it worked, he wouldn’t be able to see us for at least a few minutes.” Nate let out a loud breath of relief, closing the door behind them. “Yeah, until he figures out what we’ve done.” Marcel mumbled worriedly, choosing not to ask what actually happened to the motionless guards leaned against each other lifelessly like a sack of potatoes; assuming that the boy must have sneaked up on them while they busy squinting into the monitors and easily knocked them out cold or maybe they were already asleep and all he had to do was hit their heads together really hard… of course this was only her imagination. “With all that you’ve done I’m sure he has another outlet to constantly spy on us and if he realizes something is up with the images, this will be the firs

“Master, should we wait and see what she’s up to?” One of the officer asked thinking that the man, just as before would prefer to observe the bothersome girl from afar, afraid of being led into a trap. “Wait?” Victor’s blood boiled in anger at the mere thought of letting her roam freely for another minute, yet he did not intend on acting rashly. “Get the father first and make sure the women are ready for testing… I will personally accommodate these two.” He added, all the while remaining focused on the monitor in fron
