~Kara's POV~
We got to the manor at twilight, it was quite a long walk from the main gate to the manor, Lance and I were tired and numb.
After the dreadful walk we finally got to his doorstep and Lance rang the doorbell, the door opened on the third ring.
"Good gracious Master Lance, where have you been?." Drew exclaimed as he saw both of us.
I cringed and faked a smile as I waved while I let Lance do the talking.
"It's okay Marcus..."
"Who is Marcus?." I whispered to him sharply because Lance sounded like he was drunk.
"He has about four names or so..." Lance told me.
Typical Britain's they are always extra with the names.
"Like I said, we are fine, besides is this how you welcome someone who has been gone for days..." Lance said to him and he nodded calmly and let us in.
Immediately we entered h
~Kara's POV~Lance and I entered the school together as usual, but this time I was pulled away by Sam. Yes, we were becoming pretty close. I noticed some changes in the school surrounding, and also spotted some people putting up decorations around the school.They were posters stacked on the walls of the hallway."What's up with all this posters and decorations?." I asked Sam as we walked to calculus a.k.a Mrs Shannon's boring class."Oh!, Halloween is on friday, we always host Halloween parties at twilight, it's a thing to you know celebrate..." She told me."Hmm sounds fun...""Wait so you've never attended an Halloween party before?." She looked surprised.I just nodded slowly. She stifled her laughter and decided to tutor me about the whole Halloween thingy."Since
I recommend the following songs for this chapter:Out of Love by Alessia KaraOne Day by Ella Mai.***The enemy of my enemy is my friend- General.***~Lance POV~I've been on my Father's computer since I got back from the Halloween party last night, I needed something to get my mind off of my misery, it was hard to concentrate but I found myself finding comfort in just glancing through the computer and I've been at it for hours, probably also lost track of time.Everything just seemed to be reminding me of her, even the monitor seemed to be displaying her face from last night to me. I still felt pale and her lip gloss was still on my cheek.
I recommend: Wild things by Alessia Kara for this chapter.~Kara's POV~RECAP..."Right now I'm not sure, I can trust anyone... My own Mother betrayed me!." I told him.I was trusting Johnny already although I can't tell him that, after all I grew up around him and his goons and I watched them do bad things to people."Well I'm not asking for your trust, K. I say we make an alliance." He looked serious.In the days to come I sure will need all the help I can get so long as I want to be able to fulfill my promise to Lance.Also THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND!.Johnny stret
A/N: This chapter is a continuation of Lance POV from chapter 27...~Lance POV~RECAP......I decided to do something, I didn't want to do, but needed to do.Call my Mother.I picked my cell phone from the desk and typed her number on the dial off handedly. I had deleted it after our last encounter.I heaved in and out as I felt a huge weight in my chest.She picked on the second ring, it was barely even Dawn, did she somehow know I'll turn back to her for some information?."So I see you changed your mind after all, I knew you'll come around..." She was messing wit
~Lance POV~RECAP..."Upgrade connect the coordinates to the car and engage auto drive." I commanded with the last energy I could summon.I gently placed my phone on the dash board."Auto drive engaged!." The car engines reeved and roared back to life once more and that's when I could finally tell myself...It'll be alright!.I breathed in heavily as calm swept over me. The pain returned, I could feel my sides burning, my ankle was already swelling and my injured palm was probably already infected.I kept heaving in and out to cool off a

Pls don't get confused, and remember also that all this is what was going on while Kara was with Johnny in her father's warehouse and in Persian Hill.***~My Very Own POV~The scene opens at a National airport, a sassy young lady walks through the arrivals door inside the airport, she seems to be our character.She has a rich auburn hair, which was packed in a high messy bun as unruly strands fell unto her face enhancing her girly look, she had grey sparkly eyes which was turning into an ocean of colors, it shone brightly in the lit environment like a diamond refracting sun rays.She is wearing a
THREE YEARS EARLIER...May 16th 2012...***~Kara's POV~As my usual was every evening, I decided to take a quick stroll around the house. I've been living in Paradise for the past four years now and it never gets old, Tabitha and Thomas have been lovely foster parents, Daniel on the other hand has somewhat abandoned me, I haven't heard from him since the day he dropped me here.Well I was used to people making promises to me, that they may never fulfil till the end of the world is nay. Just like my Mom, she left without saying goodbye and just left a letter saying she'll be back soon, it's been almost seven years since she left, how long is SOON?.I won't say I'd lost all hope of her returning, but Tabby has been the best, she'd successfully reached out to me and fi
PS: I recommend; Changes by Justin Bieber and Changes by Tupac.***RECAP..."I just woke up few days ago and I just want you to know that I'm fine and you don't have to worry about me, I'll be back soon." Her voice sounded a bit raspy.Tears were already welling up in my eyes."I miss you Nana!.""Me too Kara, I'll see you soon."I heard her cough a little before the call ended, I could feel relief wash over me immediately, she was alive and okay.Now I can worry about where I am...
The teenage girl on the hospital bed winced as her eyes flickered open, her hands were connected to a life support monitor while several tiny pipes were inserted in her nose and an oxygen mask was also placed over her nose.She had been in a coma.The hospital room was very illuminated with various LED light bulb installed in the ceiling.Everything in the room was neat and well kept.A bouquet of flowers rested on the drawer besides the hospital bed where the teenage girl lay, attached to it is a small note written in black ink which reads: "WAKE UP SOON K. WE MISS YOU. LOVE, MOM!."Her fingers twitched gently by her side, she tried sitting up and ended up yanking the entire setup connected to her body.She yelped quietly.An alarm rose in the room and almost immediately the door flung open with three doctors dashing in."Oh my God, she is awake." One of the doctors exclaimed."Quickly, place a call to her Mother." The ot
I recommend 'Jocelyn Flores' by XXX Tentaction.***~Lance POV~"I said RUN!" I yelled one last time with all the strength I could muster.She grabbed a key from one the passed out guards and fumbled with the lock in desperate attempts to undo her cuffs as she ran off.I received a blow to my abdomen my insides shook as blood gushed out of my mouth like red puke.My life was gradually living me.She was safe now, maybe just maybe she would adhere and escape through the lobby.I stopped fighting back because I had to fight unconsciousness instead, my head was spinning in many different directions, my body had had enough and my mind had given up, even my soul was literally tired.Johnny gained consciousness and stood up like a predator and dashed out of the room without even looking my way once.He was going after Kara, I wanted to run and literally do anything I could to save her but I couldn't even stand on my feet, I was w
~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
~Kara's POV~RECAP...The one whom appeared to be their leader raised a pistol up in the air and pulled the trigger twice, the loud bangs got everyone's attention fast.Many women exclaimed in fear while some whimpered.Everything moved in slow motion.I looked at the pistol in the person's hand and my heart sank, real horror crept into my soul, Lance and I exchanged glances, he had seen it too.It was a goddamn viper crest revolver.I thought this war was over the moment Don Starllion dropped dead... Who could this be?***So much for Christmas Eve...This town really is the Devil's Basket. You can't have fun without the worse happening.The one whom I perceived to be the gang leader slowly took off his mask.My breath really caught in my throat.Holy heavens!"Johnny!." I exclaimed in utmost shock.Lance just stood beside me dumbfounded, I was literally shook to my spine.
~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.
~Kara's POV~Everyone was present at the Sterling's Manor for their annual Thanksgiving party but unlike the usual, this year it was just us from the alliance minus other siders, company employees and stake holders.The Sterling sons which were: Edward, Johnny and Lance.The Starllion daughters which were: Anna, Risha and myself.Then the rest of the alliance: Barbara, Sam and Detective Harvey her Dad, Daniel and Johnny's Mom, Elaine Jackie Briggs.We were complete and it was now time for the feast to begin. This last supper was the ultimate reunion of a life time with all our surviving family members present.I was sitting between Lance and Sam at the table."Can we all hold hands and bow our heads as we say the Grace." Barbara called out to everyone present at the table.Barbara recited the grace and we all chorused, "Amen".The maids began bringing the food in, a savoury smell that made mouths water filled the air as eve
~Lance POV~I escorted Silver to the airport so she could board her departure flight to Washington.Silver and I were at the waiting hall in the airport, sitting patiently and waiting for her departure time to reach."Are you sure this is the right thing to do?." 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.
~Lance's POV~It was the D-day, the day we finally push through with our plans, intel said Earl flew back in town this afternoon, it was all going to go down after twilight, unfortunately I won't be getting the chance to witness it.Lucky and unlucky for me, I was stuck and tasked with taking Silver out and away from Earl's manor for the rest of the day. 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..." I said as I took her hands in mine and we both head
