~Kara's POV~
As I inserted the key into the key hole, it clicked almost immediately, and then the wall shifted unveiling another room.
The room seemed like a tunnel and a basement at the same time, we both hesitated before we could gather courage to enter the dark room.
As we stepped in, Lance found a switch on the wall by the entrance and pressed it, and the lights flickered on, the place was covered in cobwebs and dust, it's really been long since anyone stepped in here... By anyone I mean Lance's Dad.
The room had this eeriness I couldn't place, it was small but yet big enough, it was dome shaped, the whole room smelled of dust and dirt.
My eyes grew wide as I scanned the room and rested on the desktop computer in the center, it was the only thing in the room with a chair behind it. Looking at Lance, he had seen it to

~Kara's POV~Sitting on the docks overlooking the calm river under the town's bridge, I stared into oblivion as silent tears dripped down my face and I travelled in my thoughts.Today marks exactly a decade since my Mom left, on the October 14th 2005, and left me a pink box, this pink box which I have kept with me since forever.Holding it now as memories flooded through my vain mind, memories of the day at the flee market, when we have bought everything the box now contained.The last time she read to me, our hide and seek that very night before she left with a man who bear the mark of the group I dread the most... Vipers...Everything seemed to be happening so fast after then, and now here I was ten years after she had left, broken and still in search of answers to why everything had to happen the way it did.Opening the box, I found a locket that had a picture of bot

CONTINUATION FROM CHAPTER [7]~Kara's POV~"I'm sorry Dad." My voice was raspy and choked from my tears.Picking up the case files again I hurled it into the air, screaming and cussing as papers flew out and landed on the wet sand. One of the pictures that flew out caught my eye.Wiping my eyes with the back of my hands, I went over and bent on one knee to gather the wet papers back together. I found the picture after gathering all the papers back together, sniffing I watched it being carried away with the water. I quickly went over and grabbed it before it was fully immersed into deep waters.Raising the picture so I could look at it, my heart beat stopped when I saw it... How come I didn't see it when I first opened the files...***It was a picture of a weapon, a gun, a

~Kara's POV~This dress is so tight... I thought to myself as I wiggled and tried to straighten the dress out on my hip."Sure you'll be fine on your own?."Nana asked as she pulled into the Sterling Enterprises parking lot."Yeah I guess, thanks again..." I said to Nana.She won't be able to attend Lance's welcome party today, because she had a late shift at the Gazette. So I'm gonna be stuck here alone, well with Lance till whenever this party ends."By the way you look really pretty in that gown.""Thanks." I replied courtly as I felt my cheeks turn crimson.She had purchased this dress for me at a thrift store close to our apartment. It was the last of it's kind, and it was place for auction, I wonder how she was able to pull that off. Anyways I'm so happy she got it for me."I have something for you Kara!."

~Lance POV~"Hey Lance, please would you come out of your Father's... Study now?." My Mom asked in a pained raspy tone.I'd been in here for the past three days, since my Dad was put six feet under. It just wasn't the same no more.No more late night conversations, no more Saturday golf practice, no more father-son time, no more don't tell your Mom.He is gone forever. Now I know what it feels like to lose someone, they leave a hollow feeling in your life that you can literally feel in your heart.I literally felt like I was twisted and turned inside out. I couldn't feel nothing save for the numb and hollow feeling like something was definitely missing in my life. And yes, something was...Did I say something?... I meant someone!.When we returned from the funeral I just didn't want to see no one no more, I honestly wished I'd died alongside. The

~Lance POV~"You'll have to try harder than that!." Kara said to me as she blocked one of my blows.I smirked and lunged at her.We have been practicing and training for the unknown, we just believe that when everything goes down and the puzzle finally fits properly, we'll need all the fighting skills we can summon.Drew had taken it upon himself to ensure our training goes well, but he took a break few minutes ago. Kara and I decided to continue.We were training at the roof top my manor, it was leveled and had a wall barricade around, the view from up here was perfect. I did my best to make sure I didn't look over the edge because that's when I realized how high up we were and it was sorta scary.Through several grunts, tackles, quacks, blows, blocks and locks, Kara finally pins me down..."Tap out, I've got you this time!." She exclaimed as she breathed

~Kara's POV~I have been in here a day and half, refusing to eat nothing and hoping Lance was okay.I mean just when we thought life was promising and we could finally have a happy ending and live normal lives, then this happens.So much for our Christmas plans, it was already the day after Christmas now.Have I tried escaping? Well yes, but there were guards everywhere and just one me isn't enough for nearly twenty well trained by Johnny to assassinate guards.I wonder where the killer in me had gone, that night after I killed Earl, that fire and burning desire for blood, that cold heart and resilience suddenly just died down, now I was just some sappy weakling who can't even defend herself.If this is what the normal life feels like then I don't want to be normal anymore.I stood by the window looking out to the compound hoping someone was coming for me, wishing that maybe Anna had heard about my dilemma and was back in town to save

Shades Of Kara [52] Charity ball
~Kara's POV~TWO WEEKS LATER...The charity ball had kicked off about an hour ago, it was a rather traditionally stunning event bringing very large number of people together in such a splendid venue.The venue was the large Western hall in the Sterling Enterprises, it was nicely decorated without too much bling but yet it held elegance enough for the elites present.Some faint R&B music filled the atmosphere while people chattered around the hall.Everyone was dressed rather formally and looked ready to enjoy the calm fall evening of socializing, entertainment, food, drinks and most importantly raising funds for a worthy cause.The goal this year was to raise $1,500,000 for the orphanages in the Basket so they could get more kids out of the streets in the narrows.My heart swelled with great compassion as I remembered my time in the narrows several years ago with all those wonderful kids whom were basically homeless with no guardian.

I asked her."Honestly I don't know, but it's my best shot in seven years so imma take it." She replied as she adjusted her glasses."I really hope you find her." I said as I placed my hand over hers being affectionate."Me too.""If you ever need anything, give me a call." I told her.Well my financial assistance was the least I could provide for a good friend.She nodded and gave me a small smile."Oh, before I forget, I found something." Silver told me and reached for her purse.She opened the purse and pulled a silver chain out."What's tha-" I trailed off as I recognized the item in her hand.Actually it's a bracelet..."How did you get th

~Kara's POV~FEW DAYS LATER...The hospital ward room door popped open and my favorite person walked in.I winced as I weakly sat up on the hospital bed.She gave me her signature smile that always made her eyes sparkle, her hands held a nice bouquet of flowers, it contained red roses, lilies, small daisies and lavenders in it."Hey Mom." I greeted and returned her beaming smile."How's my little mellow doing?." Anna asked me as she took the seat by the side of my hospital bed.I watched as she gently placed the flowers she brought me on the top of the small drawer close to my hospital bed.It almost felt like my life was back to normal again, bringing back memories from 2005 before my Mom was taken away, it almost rendered me in tears but I got hold of myself just in time to resist them."I'm actually better but the doctor said I wouldn't be able to use my arm for a while.

She wasn't meant to witness the onslaught.It was already late hours of the afternoon as of now and we were slowly running out of time."Okay I'm ready." Silver appeared around the corner of the living room of Earl's Manor.She was dressed like a casual country girl in a plain jeans trouser, a girly white shirt, and nice pair of sneakers, She carried a slingshot purse and held a jacket in her hands, she packed her hair in one messy bun and of course she was putting on her glasses.She looked simple and cute."C'mon let's go..."
