The bikers and I look at each other with each flabbergasted looks. I wanted to slap myself, unsusceptible to comprehend what was going on. The guy took many pictures with Ethan, entertained and low-key fancying. I let out a distrustful clarion utterance of annoyance. Ethan was just watching the man, either considering slaughtering him or not.
“Man! These are so cool! Anyway, I’m going to get back to work. Catch you afterward, my dude.” he winked at Ethan, then pointed his two fingers at him, squirming his eyebrows. We all watched him get inside the store, looking over through his phones, probably editing the pictures as his souvenir. A deafening blasting hush filled the entire area. I flickered, then looked at the bikers who also looked at me.
“So, what now?” they asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.
We looked at each other before Ethan let out a blistering howl, making the ground shake somew
I was not my usual self while preparing breakfast this morning. After spending days in the hospital, I was finally charged out, and now, I’m here alone in this adequate house. I haven’t seen Ethan for days. I have no idea where he might be. However, my mind is coasting elsewhere, and I couldn’t rest for days because of the nightmares haunting me. I couldn’t even blink or close my eyes for five minutes. All I’m seeing is that frightful scene that keeps on rehashing in my mind. The guilt was sneaking through my system until it consumed my whole willpower, and presently I couldn’t think straight.I know it’s neither of our faults, but still, we failed to protect our unborn child. I can’t live forever with this guilt I am carrying. Each time I had the chance to shut my eyes, my body trembled with agitation. I sometimes see myself crying on the floor, begging for this to stop. It’s like bottling up all my feelings
I raised my hand, about to knock on the door, when I halted mid-air, unable to continue. I have no reason why I stop. I lowered my vision to the ground, staring at my feet. I felt nauseating as I tried to focus my attention, but it kept getting back to the same cycle of painfulness. I closed my eyes and then rested my forehead on the door, listening to the howl on the other side. I know he is letting out his feelings, so he will pretend nothing has happened when he steps out of this door.Just the thought of it fractured my heart. I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from crying. We endure too much. I know it's hard to accept because we can carry this guilt for the rest of our lives. I heard a loud banging, then something crashed. I wanted to go in and stop him, but I knew he would just push me away. It was followed by a long deafening silence. I stood up straight, waiting for him to go out. I backed away a little from the door when he opened it. He abruptly
I was pacing back and forth, biting on my nails, which is one of my mannerisms whenever I'm having a terror onslaught. I stopped and then looked up at the clock to see the time. It's already past midnight. He was gone for about twelve hours, and he hasn't come back yet. Every second I checked the windows, expecting he would go home any minute, but not a single strand of his hair was shown to my disheartenment.I heaved a deep sighed then closed my eyes, trying to calm my mind. I know panicking wouldn't be helped, but I can't help it. He told me not to do anything stupid, such as following him. It's tempting, but it's been hours. I haven't slept or eaten anything since this morning. I was going off the deep end. I shuddered and then looked for the remote. I should try to entertain myself. Maybe watching some television would ease my nervous
"Ma'am, do you know her?" the officer asked again, leaning the phone closer to my face. I couldn't find where my tongue was as I skimmed around anywhere but his phone. I know I look dubious right now, but the way the officer looks at me as if he seized me. I chuckled nervously, then steadily shook my head in response."I don't know her, officer." my voice toned down every word as I lowered my vision on the steering wheel. The officer didn't say anything for a minute. I can feel his stern perception penetrating my core, invading my whole system, dragging me into the pit of the abyss.After a minute of silence, he stood up straight and then sighed. I glance at him from my side. He's signaling his colleagues in front. They nodded their head and then motioned for my car to go forward. My grip tautened around the wheel, swallowing the lump in my throat."You can go forward, Ma'am. However, make sure you go h
I flinched with every gunshot I heard. It was followed by heavy footsteps coming from above us. They must be on the third floor during the construction. I roamed my eyes, looking for something to get up there. I almost cried when I heard a loud screeching noise of claws coming directly above my spot. I stopped, then looked up. My eyes alter, and the dog on my arms lets out a low howl of cry. The footsteps continued."It's Ethan, t-they found him." my voice cracked, then abruptly looked around the area. I sprint in my tracks, holding on for my breath while my heart beats crazy. When I saw stairs, I quickly ran on them, almost tripping and falling on my knees, but I didn't admit defeat. I held my head high and then continued to look for Ethan.The gunshot was stopped, making me lose track of where they were. I was short-winded while casting my eyes around the corner. I was almost bathed in my own sweat. I gulped and then tried to run towards i
"Ethan, t-they are catching up," I told him when I glimpsed behind. Dubiety and reverence were clouding my mind as I heard the blistering sound of the siren coming from the automobile and the lights waving in the atmosphere, signaling someone was on the loose.He didn't say anything, but his sprint went faster than before. I hugged him tight, scared to descend dead on the ground. I saw from my side Bobby was enjoying this as he stuck his tongue out. His eyes are on the edge of crying like the wind stroke gratingly on his face. I wish I was just a dog who could bark, sleep and eat all day.My grasp tightened around Ethan when gunshots fired through the sky, and it was followed by a loud alarm. Bobby shrieked, hiding between Ethan's arms. I ingest the dread that's building up in my system. I look up at Ethan, whose eyebrows are furrowed. His ominous eyes are glued on our path. The way he dashed above the roof of the neighborhood was incredibly
I let out a deep sigh as I looked down at the sink. My fingers were quivering inadequately while holding the blade. I was trying to retain them but failed. I gulp the jam in my throat, trying to focus my mind. Remember, Natasha. You're doing this for him, for the sake of your freedom. I closed my eyes and then raised my hands, leveling them on my hair. When I felt the blade's tip cut through my hair, the tension I was feeling released.My shoulders relaxed, and at the same time, my mind went blank. As if all of this were just natural to happen. I stare at myself in the mirror, comprehending what's happening. You got this, Natasha, just a bit more cut, then you're okay.It took me almost half an hour before getting satisfied with what I looked like. Since I was locked inside the bathroom, the air was circulating inside it. The sweat formed on my forehead and then strolled down to my neck. I smiled, regrettable for what I had done. This is the
"E-ethan, someone is outside." I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen. He was out of his mind as he rocked me like a ravenous creature between my legs. He pursed his lips, taking his time to thrust. I was losing reign too, but the knocking on the door was tenacious. It didn't stop. I was embarrassed they might hear us, so I covered my mouth with the back of my palm, suppressing my wails of ecstasy."Hello! Is anybody there?" I heard a familiar voice shout outside the porch, then knocking and clicking the bell. My eyes dilated when I realized who it was.Ethan must have recognized it also because his eyes took a side glance at the door, then clicked his tongue. He continued his thrust, but it was more careful this time. He positioned my legs more expansive, and my toes were almost touching the headrest of the couch. I can feel the air that's fondling my skin. The tension continued in my stomach as my legs shook in pleasure when we heard an
“I-I…” she lowered her head, her vision was staring on the floor. She couldn’t find a word to say after hearing everything what I had said. I smiled, tilting my head to my right while waiting for her reaction. A drawn-out earsplitting silence filled the whole room. I glanced at the man who was standing behind her. He took a step forward before placing his hand on her trembling shoulder. Her wails almost filled the whole room, and it was followed by her siblings. “I-I d-don’t know what to say…” She doesn’t need to weep that much but I understand her reaction. It was heart breaking, even my heart could still cry even at this age. I let my head rest on the heard board when her hold on my hand tightened. Harry cups her cheeks, wiping off the tears that were pouring. She looks up then their eyes locks for a minute. “Your mother fought so hard during her younger years, Ettasha…” “She’s a brave warrior.” “But…” Ettasha spoke again, looking at me from her shoulder. “What happened to my
I threw away everything that can link to their whereabouts. I have to make sure everything is put into its place. Leaving print marks would impairment my disrepute. I will never…ever let them know about this.I escaped once. I am not going back again in that atrocious point. I glanced down, noticing that my whole body is beaded with their blood. I cursed, thinking of what kind of body lotion I would use to get rid of the smell. I took a glimpse one last time at their faces that were pale. i grab my mother’s jaw, tilting it to the side. Well, except my twin because he’s the last one whom I killed. His body is still warm but he’ll die.I arrange them here in the basement. No one will know unless someone will break in here.They have to go through me first before they set feet in this house. I breathed out, and was about to pull out the hem of my shirt when I saw something is sticking out of Nathan’s pocket. I took it, my eyes squinched while observing the identification card. Looks lik
“Set the alarm! Shut the gates!” I let out a bestial grumble that vibrated through the corridors, and floors. I could perceive their shrieks of torture. I breathed in, and out. My caliginous hooded eyes were shooting daggers as I watched how they run for their lives, calling all the authorities. Two decades. I have been trap here for almost two decades. Yet, none of them did ever to come here for a visit. I showed my chiseled set of teeth while extending out my long arms. My sharp claws flared, lustrous when a light hits it. Everyone was out of their sanity. Some were crawling, making their way out of the Asylum. Thanks for their crackbrained staff that was new here, and accidentally left the keys in my room, I managed to discharge. I can cognizance the consuming flow of rage streaming through my blood vessels. I step on Dr. Victor Mend’s ankle, halting him from what he is planning to do. He’s trying to escape from this place. I joust my head playfully, my hooded sinful eyes were s
Harry couldn’t formulate his words. As if they were stuck at the tip of his tongue. He was contemplating whether if he should let me or not since it’s chanceful for my condition. He have to let me. I can’t let my husband die out there.“Harry…please!” I drop on my knees then clasp my hands into a worship posture. Harry was bewildered, panicking when I kneeled before him. I parted my lips to breath because my nose was clog.“You have to let me, Harry.” I mourned, consolidating for him to get his approval.“Natasha…” he was in deep sorrow to see me on the ground. Tears escape from his eyes while they lingered on my features. He chip his lowermost lip until blood was gushing out of it. He heaved a sighed then closing his eyes.“Just don’t fucking leave my side, okay?! Your situation can worsen, and I won’t let that happen!” he screamed but afterward I jumped on him, my hands were wrapped tightly around his neck.“Thank you…” I mumbled against his ear. Harry was silent for a minute before
“No…”I slowly dropped on the ground while staring out of nowhere. My heart is sinking into the bottommost of the pit. I couldn’t even feel my body anymore. I don’t know what to think, or what to do. Harry is just watching me while my whole body is exploiting down into the ocean floor. I was sinking like a body that has an impairment.I couldn’t breath.I couldn’t process everything.Harry kneeled down when his men started to assemble everything. I felt the ship turned on its engine, signaling that it’s time for us to move forward. Everyone was doing their part. Someone hoist the anchor, and the propeller ignited. My eyes squinted on their own, ogling at my own palms that were covered with blood, bruises, wounds, and battle scars.A stinging drop of tear pour down, streaming on my arms. Everything was hard for me to take. This whole thing was hard for me to consume, and digest. I gradually clenched my trembling hands before hanging my head low in shame.“I’m sorry, Natasha, but we can
We need to hurry up, and go to that ship! Harry was waving his hand, motioning for us to go onward. He was shielding himself so Auger’s troupes won’t come for us. Ethan was holding my hand securely. My lips were parted slightly, while catching my breath. There were times we almost stumble on something but Ethan was too quick to dodge it.I could almost see it. The ship was waiting for us. Even a whole populace of football stadium can fit in that. I caught some of his men were waiting in alignment in front of the ship. Some were coming towards our way while holding solid, and heavy guns. I don’t know how Harry manage to call for a back-up that quick, and how any of them did not realize that he was calling someone. However, I am glad that they were so engrossed from their leader’s story.“You guys need to get there quickly! We’ll hold them off!” Harry shouted at the top of his lungs before firing at someone. The blasting noises was enveloping my ear drum, deafening my hearing.“H-how a
“So…” Auger clasped his hands together, looking at us with imperil in his eyes. He slowly squat so he could even his face to Ethan. My husband growled, thirsting to reach Auger’s face so he could gash it into pieces. Before he could take a hold on him, I raised my upper body then block my body, ceasing him from his thought.Ethan was screeching like a savage he is, letting out an animalistic rumble. He was prepared to alter if it weren’t for me halting him. I know how mad he is right now, and his emotions are acceptable. However, I can’t afford him to do anything heedless. He needs to calm down first!“Ethan! Please!”It seems like he couldn’t hear me, nor he doesn’t notice me at all. My voice was hoarse from screaming, and begging for him to stop. I know it pains him to endure like this. I know how hard for him to accept this. The only hope we have was taken away from us with just a snap of Auger’s finger. All of our endeavor was thrown away.I hugged him tightly while weeping in tea
“Come on! Let’s move! Let’s move! Let’s move! “Harry was shouting at his men to move forward when the helicopter landed successfully on the ground. I couldn’t help but to cry when everything was going smoothly for us. After countless of attempts to run away from the grasp of authorities, we finally landed to our destination.Words can not describe how overwhelm I am right now. We wouldn’t make it this far if it weren’t for Harry’s help. I closed my eyes firmly then caressed my cheek to remove the tears that fall off. This is it. We’re almost there. One step is all we need.We’re going to start a new family on our own. Harry will help us to changed our identities, and do a plastic surgery. I know it’s a tough choice to convert ourselves into a new citizens, and fake our personal identity. However, we have no other choices. The authorities here are going berserk just because of Ethan’s criminals record, and his curse. They will not let him get away with this.They will do whatever it t
“We are not going to make it!”A tear leak when the former pilot yelled at the top of his lungs. I heard the gasps of agitation coming from the other passengers here. I lifted my head to see Ethan was doing his shot to fly this thing out of the heavy weather that is approaching us.“ETHAN!” I called his name because his veins were throbbing on his arms. His teeth were gritted together, and his eyes were angst.I called his name again, stretching out my arms just to reach him. However, I felt Harry’s grip on my dress, pinning me on my place because the chopper was spinning, and is acting up.No…I couldn’t risk this without holding him before my last breath. I have to hold out, and tell him everything from the bottom of my heart those words that I haven’t tell him. It was inconspicuous to see clearly because of my weeping. I implored for Harry to let go of me but he did not listen.He was shaking my shoulders, snapping me back to actuality. He was yelling something in front of my face w
