~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

Shades Of Kara [34] Choices
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

Living in Earl's Manor and being trained my Paul was on a whole new level.It's been two weeks since the Persian Hill incident, all my life I had never had such an encounter, right now I don't even know what my deal is, Don Starllion didn't kill my father, so for the past three years, I have been fighting a lost battle, but now that I know that Persian Hill was responsible, I don't even understand them well enough to think about exerting my revenge.

I gave an amused bleak laugh as I scanned and toyed with the sleek invitation card in my gloved hands.I took some carefree steps around the moderately sized living room like I was contemplating an issue as I flicked my blue ponytails backwards.Johnny just gave me an amused look like he was thinking what I was thinking."..." I opened my mouth to speak but I couldn't find my tongue when a cunning thought dawned me."How does he have this add

~Kara's POV~CONTINUATION...My knife almost dropped from my hands when I saw them.Lance and some pretty girl with auburn color hair who was wearing a frozen inspired dress stood frozen at the entrance to the dinning.My eyes darted to their intertwined fingers and my heart sank inside me.Before my brain could calculate or tell me what next to do."Kara watch out!." Two female voices yelled in unison from behind me, calling me out from my heartbroken reverie.In that split second I spun around and I didn't even realize when my knife fell from my hand."I'm sorry." He muttered as he used the hilt of his gun to knock me out.His chilled expression while betraying me was the last thing I saw before I crashed to the tiled floor and everything went black.***A sharp pain pierced my temples as my eyes flickered open, from a distance I could hear the pitter-patter of tiny drops of water as they hit t
Shades Of Kara [38] Johnny's cassanova
~Kara's POV~I stared out the western window unto the moonlit compound, the house was relatively quiet and I could hear the gentle whizzing of the autumn wind right outside amongst the trees and flowers.Someone was dumb enough to leave the keys to my cell inside the food tray that was brought to me, what did they think? That I wouldn't use it? That's when I would have been convinced I was a fool.Well long story short... I escaped!.I didn't have to turn around to know someone else was here."I never knew you to be the scared one!." I called out into the darkness without turning or averting my gaze from the moonlit patio.I twirled the shuriken in my hand and then in a quick well practiced motion, I spun around and threw the Ninja star towards his direction.Yes, I have been training.There was a short silence before a very familiar voice sounded across the living room, echoing through the darkness."I'm not scared, I know what you're capable of." He said as he stepped into the light,

I questioned, feeling rather perplexed as I pulled my phone away from my ear to stare at the screen and be sure I was hearing and seeing properly."Omg Kara, where have you and Lance been? Y'all just ghosted us and ditched school since the Halloween party night, is something wrong?." She sounded very worried, I could literally picture the expression on her face now and it made me chuckle."You're laughing! Unbelievable, do you know how worried I was, I thought something had happened to y'all!." She kept on rambling.Typical Sam always a chill vibe."Calm down sugar, nothing's wrong, Lance and I are on vacation..." I said calmly as I felt a devious smirk crossing my amused lips and brightening my facial expression."Are you kidding me? Then I shouldn't be worried that you're gonna have yourself killed, don't lie to me, K." Sam shuddered in the background.Ok

~Third Person POV~Johnny was led into the confines of the well guarded facility, the facility contained some high level technologies and almost everything inside the facility used sensors and facial recognition.The Blacksite was very well guarded with trained professional Vipers stationed all around the premises at strategic places, it would be difficult to infiltrate such a place.There was something quite fishy though about the high level security if it was just for the mentally unstable then it was way too much, well it was called a Blacksite for a reason, something was being hidden in here and Johnny could feel it but he came here today for a different purpose entirely.The Vipers had been able to lay their hands on good technology from the wholesome cash which Persian Hill produced every year which ranged from £1.8billion to £3.5billion yearly.Smuggling drugs across the border for Mexican drug Lords and arms dealers in Chicago and also selling 1

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

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 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."
