Mark hears a crash, the sound drowning out the screaming of his mother.

The ear-splitting sound of metal against metal scraping against each other scratches against his ear drums.

There's the sound of glass breaking and metal groaning before it becomes painfully silent.

"Mom? Dad?." Mark's voice is tentative, his hand shaking as he grips his phone to his ear.

Anxiety kills him when he fails to hear an answer from either of his parents.

His friends worries as if they just withnessed a live scene of a horror movie.

It seemed so hard to believe their ears while Mark was overcome with shock and grief that he stood frozen.

"Hey!" His friends tap his shoulder when he revives himself, quickly dailing his father's number.

When his call does not yield replies he immediately hangs up and races away from the school auditorium.

His legs quickly eat up dirt and asphalt as he runs to the school's parking lot. He pants as he runs, feeling shaky and unhinged as he speeds to the lot. He looks aro

    The sky cries instead of the gloomy who stands still, watching as his parents are slowly lowered six feet deep. One by one people walk towards him, dropping a flower into the lowering casket as they wish their condolences. Mark, all the while just stares at the casket with absolutely no strength in his voice and no words to say. "My brother was a very good man, you can't imagine how sad it is for me knowing he left his only son and little boy alone, but don't worry, I'll take care of you as it is now my responsibility," his uncle says. Mark unsure what to say looks at his Uncle with red baggy eyes, he watches as he cries his eyes out, and even his aunt comes over to comfort him. Never would he have guessed that on the day of one of his happiest moments, he would lose his family just like that. But... Something troubles him the more. With his relatives wrapping their arms around him, shielding his vision from his father's grave as they escort him away, Mark could only wonder wh

    "We need to talk, and please don't lie to me," he says the moment he walks into his uncle's room without knocking. His uncle perplexed by the sudden occurrence stares at him like he's seen a ghost. Seeing how his nephew just barged in, he could only understand that it was nothing less than something of great urgency, and that troubles him greatly. However he could not show it, so with a smile and laughter to cover up his nervousness, he stands up from his seat and walks calmly to his angry-looking nephew and rubs his back. "Of course Mark, I would never lie to you," he says beaming with a fake smile which Mark could see through. "Who did my father leave his property to?" Mark suddenly questions to his shock. Sure he was expecting to be approached but he didn't think his timid, lively nephew could get serious this soon. "Oh Mark, I knew you'd be unhappy, that's why I decided to take you under my wings. Once you're older I'll send everything back to you, I have no intention of st

Everything becomes hazy and he begins to wonder if his eyes were playing tricks or if it was truly spinning as he tried his best to stay awake before he gets swept away by sleep.

    In the dimly lit living room sat Leia, her eyes glued to the news on the television screen. The headlines showed the shocking decline of the Sky family stock and their declaration of bankruptcy. The once mighty dynasty was now crumbling, and they were forced to sell off their properties and stocks to settle their debts. Leia's heart sank; she knew all too well what this meant for her. As the TV droned on, Mark appeared from behind, a stern look on his face. He urged her to go to bed, but she adamantly refused. Her fear and uncertainty consumed her, and sleep felt like a distant dream. Despite her defiance, sleep eventually overcame her, but she awoke and was deep in thought, recalling the events of the past few weeks. Leia found herself seated in the comfortable embrace of the therapist's office, her heart heavy with the weight of recent events. The room's soft lighting and soothing atmosphere offered a semblance of peace, but her emotions remained in turmoil."How are you feeling

    Leia stands nervously in front of the full-length mirror, her reflection adorned in an exquisite and expensive gown. The deep blue silk hugs her lithe figure flawlessly, the delicate beadwork adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. She has never worn anything so extravagant before, and the weight of the gown made her feel a little unsteady.'I feel like an overdressed monkey.' Leia thinks with no small amount of resentment. She hates it when Mark shops for her. It's like he has an obsession with tight bodices and unmanageable frills.It's not like the dress is awful, it's just really hard to breathe properly.She sighs gustily as The maid, Rebecca, fusses around her, ensuring every detail of her appearance is perfect. Her hair was styled in an intricate updo, with a few loose curls framing her face. The makeup was subtle yet enhancing, emphasizing her striking features. Despite Rebecca's efforts to reassure her, Leia's discomfort only grows as the moment of departure approaches.

Leia thinks viciously as the women glare at her like she's killed their dogs.She can see the recognition on their faces. She knows that the questions are going to start very soon. And from the malevolent expression on some of their faces, she knows they are going to be malicious.With a small gulp, she smiles at her impromptu audience. "Hello."

    Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow.

    Mark's eyes cracked open slowly, adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. His head throbbed with pain, and every movement sent waves of discomfort through his body. He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince. "Kasen, what's going on?"Kasen pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze fixed on Mark. "I'll just talk to the inspector, it won't take long," he sai

    The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!" She yelled back, hoping to deter him."Face me you coward!" He spat, his voice laced with anger."No!" She replied, her tone m

The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus

    Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room.

    Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
