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.

I still felt pale and her lip gloss was still on my cheek.

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

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

The shiny silvery gravels crumbled beneath my feet lightly and then roughly when I intentionally stumped in grief. Remind me again how my life resorted to this?.I felt my eye lid growing heavy, I raised my head gently to look at the clear ocean blue sky beneath which every known evil on the earth was taking place at the moment, I was fighting them away but I could still feel the tears brimming slightly.I heaved in and out repeatedly so I could ease the painful heaviness in my heart, which was caused by years of pain and heart ache.Standing here by his headstone was only just making everything more harder."Why mother?." I said in a broken whisper.I gulped in pain and helplessly crumbled to the gravel filled ground of the cemetery, I haven't been here since the last three years, everyone told me it would be easier, if I let go, but truth is, I can't let go, not now, not tomorrow, not ev

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 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
Shades Of Kara [53] The final showdown I
~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.
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.

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

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
