"You can't take her away from me!"
"Yes, I can."
"No, you can't! Not without my consent!"
"You are her husband, not her father. Also, mind you that Natasha is already an adult. You can't stop her from going out."
I hurled out a deep breath and then glanced at Bobby beside me, who looked perplexed. I wanted to facepalm my head and then leave them behind. Regardless, I can't do that because I'm anxious Ethan might do something to Criselda the moment I set off my eyes away.
I looked at the wall clock to see they had been arguing for an hour. Ethan was blocking Criselda's way to get through me. Every time I tried to thwart them, they would both look at me then yell,
"Stay out of this!"
It's getting out of control, and I can't say anything. So, I stood here eyeing them throw words back and forth at each other in the end. Bobby yapped beside me
"What are the cops doing here?" Criselda asked in incredulity beside me, wanting to find an answer. I shrugged my shoulder as we took a step close to the setting. My heartbeat was thumping clamorously, and my palms became sweaty. Some of the officers were leaning on the divider. Their hands are on over their pockets while glancing their authoritative eyes on the whole apartment.I suddenly grabbed Criselda's arms, making her look my way. Her brows creased, almost doing a straight line."What's wrong?" I heard her ask, but my body froze in fear when I noticed the officers' familiarity before us."Good day, gentlemen. It's a surprise to see you around here. Please, state your concern." the Landlord said calmly, but I could discern the apprehension in her voice.I trailed behind Criselda, making sure none of the cops would look our way. Many people were chirping into the scene. Curiosity is killing them. I heard whispers and complaints about why there are a lot of cops here."Do not worr
"The Landlord gave us permission to search and ask each person in this apartment whether they have been seen these two missing persons or not. I gave them a head-up about the case of these two, which involved homicide and fugitive."We were both silent as we looked at each other, unable to think of what to say to Allen. It was like he was a mushroom that came out of nowhere. I couldn't help but gape at his uniform. He looks dreadful, and the vivid power in his eyes makes you want to fall on your knees and do what he commands."T-that's horrible." I changed the way I conveyed myself while staring at my picture. I feigned to be astonished, and hopefully, he didn't see through what I frankly felt."May I know, Sir, what did they do? So we can have a clue to these two people."I glanced at Ethan when his voice changed abruptly into something I hadn't heard before. It was intense, gravelly, and ominous. Even Sergeant Allen was incapable of answering his question first before falsifying a c
I was lost in my own introspections. I feel like a pall floating into the atmosphere, unhurriedly pacing. I took my time to move ahead, but it was deliberate and steady. Even the turtle can run faster than me. I closed my eyes, letting out a tremendous sigh. I don't know how many hours we have been here. It's suffocating. Even if I wanted to get out, we couldn't."Let's get out of this place."I peeked down behind me, watching him gather his pieces of equipment. I felt a fur on my lap, so I glanced at Bobby, wiggling his tail at me, curious to know what was going on. I couldn't let out a smile as something knife-liked plugged through my heart, weighing down my sentiments. I feel something thwarting my throat, so I have tribulation in breathing. Whatever I do to get these train of thoughts out of my brain, it keeps coming back."Natasha? What are you still doing there? You know we can't stay here anymore." his baritone-voiced echoed throughout the room. Bobby barked, then ran up to him
"Natasha, wake up."Someone shook my shoulder and tapped lightly on my cheek, forcing me to wake up. I coughed, but I felt a substantial fluid was gushing down from my mouth. Someone grunted, then put my head on a soft edge. I gradually opened my eyes and saw Ethan on top of me. His eyes were scanning my face, and I saw uneasiness in them."Everything is going to be okay, love. Please fight hard." he took my hand and then kissed its back. He stroked my cheeks.I do not have any idea what's happening and where I am. I tried to move a muscle, but I stopped when I felt a series of pain coursing through my veins towards my back. That's when I realized I got shot. I gasped, opening my mouth to breathe some oxygen. I roamed my eyes around the place, just to find out we were in the middle of the forest. I saw Bobby lying on my side."He was wounded, too."I glanced back at Ethan, who stopped beside Bobby and carefully lifted him to put him inside his backpack. His head was sticking out so he
I didn't realize I was holding for my breath, clutching tightly onto Ethan's shirt as I foreknew the old man's answer. I was praying silently while shaking my head, begging not to tell where our location was. One wrong word, and both of us are dead by now.Ethan was gripping tightly on my waist, but I could discern the tension in his palms. His heart was pounding clangorously, and his eyebrows were formed into a straight line. He gritted his jaw, preserving his breath. He was nervous, and at the same time, he was pushing himself to be valiant in case something went wrong. He would be here for me."Two people? Running away?" the old man squinted his eyes, eyeing the pictures Allen was showing to them. I noticed the grip on his shotgun tightened. He gradually but carefully pointed it at us, making sure to stop us from running away as he was busy finding out the truth."It's complicated to explain, sir. However, these two persons are involved in a criminal matter. Furthermore, someone re
I heard voices echoing in my ears. I shifted from my spot but ended up halting because of the pain I felt in my back. I winced, gritting my teeth and trying to control the scrutinizing torment rushing into my system. I wanted to move my body, but it was tough to handle my muscles. They are getting benumbed.I slowly opened my lids. I couldn't depict where am I as my vision was still hazy from dozing off. I clearly don't recognize a thing. I was massaging my temples when I heard someone speak beside me."Get up and eat your food."The voice wasn't familiar. Due to my sudden adrenaline rush that maybe it was someone else and would harm me when I realized it was the old man who let us go inside his cabin. He was sharpening his knife, making that terrible screeching noise.That was when I noticed Ethan wasn't around. I quickly jolted from my bed, but it left me screaming because of the pang I felt. It shook my body to the core. I fell again on the wooden bed, wincing and groaning. I hear
"Ethan, she's coming..." I beseeched to stop him from what he was doing. The excitement gushed down, and it was replaced by anxiety.Ethan didn't say anything as he continued to finger me. He wiggled his fingers inside my walls, stretching and hitting my spot. I looked at the door, anticipating for Charm to come back. However, I heard her talking with her grandad outside the house, discussing something I couldn't depict since my mind wandered elsewhere."Cum for me," Ethan whispered, devouring my lips. His eyes were shut, and his eyebrows were furrowed into a straight line while his fingers were busy doing his job. I fell for his trap, getting frailer by the second.The door creaked open, and someone was going inside! I felt Ethan's finger getting faster while his thumb massaged my clit. I squirt, restrained my moans, and hit the clouds after seconds. My eyes rolled at the back of my head when I orgasmed. Ethan quickly cleaned his fingers by licking my juices off. At the same time, th
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it because maybe I just imagined what I heard. But, there was another rattle, and this time it was louder than what I had heard before. I was suddenly thrown back on my bed. I roamed my eyes around the surroundings. I swallowed several times as my hands were trembling.My eyes narrowed as I examined the door. I didn't realize that it was midnight when I fell asleep. I darted around the room, but I didn't see even a shadow of Ethan. Where is he? I thought he would come back? Why am I still here alone in the cabin at midnight?I tried to move, but I just winced at the pain I felt in my back. It hurts every time I move. I took a deep breath, repeatedly to take courage before I pushed myself to be able to sit on the side of the bed."Ethan?"I tried to call his name. Instead, interminable stillness welcomed me. Maybe they were all outside because that's where I heard the clatter. I slowly stood up, taking my time to move. When I finally stood up, I
“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
