“Ethan!” I cried when he dropped to the floor, unconscious. There was a hole on his back, and blood was dripping down on the floor. My hands were quivering when I tried to hold him. His eyes were shut firmly. I shook my head, dropping my head on his chest to hear if it was still beating. My eyes narrowed when I heard nothing.N-no…“Come with me, Natasha.”I saw a pair of shoes stop before me. I paused from what I was doing to look at his eyes. He has no soul left in his ungodly ones. I gritted my teeth when he dared to offer my hands, anticipating taking his offer. I snarled and slowly stood up from my spot, clenching my hands.“How dare you shoot down your own brother?!” I wailed, then smacked his hands away. I don’t care if he had a gun. He killed Ethan! He killed my husband!Nathan’s brows knitted into a straight line, confused with my sudden attitude shift. He must have noticed that I didn’t buy what he had done, so he stood up straight, fixing his composure.“I see. You would ra
I shielded my body to protect Bobby from harm. They can take me away but not my poor innocent Bobby! They repeatedly kicked the door, persistent in getting inside! I looked around the area, searching for something that would help me knock out the intruder. I jumped in surprise when I heard a series of gunshots. I mentally cursed and cried inside, hoping that Ethan was okay down there!I saw a vase, and I hurriedly caught it and prepared to smash it to the one who would get inside first!“Stay back, Bobby! Mommy got this-”The door swung open, and I was about to hit them with a vase when someone caught my hands, stopping me from smashing the vase on their head. I opened my eyes just to see Ethan in his usual form. I sighed in relief, immediately dropping the vase on the floor. It made a loud thud. It didn’t break. Ethan embraced me tightly in his arms. I couldn’t care if I was being covered with his blood. I am glad that he is safe!“B-But how? I don’t understand….” I shook my head whe
I squeezed Bobby tightly in my arms. I shielded my body so that Bobby wouldn't be hurt from the crash and he could still live. I closed my eyes, preparing myself when I felt a pair of enormous hands wrapped around my waist. We landed on the ground swiftly. I looked up at Ethan, who was transformed into a complete wolf form before escaping. "Don't let them get away!" Ethan was fast, and I realized we were already in the middle of the woods. I look back, peaking from his shoulder to see Allen in front of the porch. Half of his hands were torn off. I looked away from the horrible scene, removing it from my thoughts. Bobby was whimpering and probably, catching my attention. I looked down and saw he was crying. "What's wrong?" I asked, but Bobby just scooped closer. "He's afraid," Ethan mumbled, focusing his eyes on the path. His other arm was holding me firmly, afraid to let go. "You killed Nathan while the authorities were there…." I whispered while staring out of nowhere. This will
Ethan blocked my body using his hands, shielding himself so the authorities wouldn't lay a finger on me. I swallowed the lump in my throat, roaming my eyes around the area to look for something we could escape. There was no use. We're being cornered again, and they wouldn't let us run with ease this time! Allen was standing there. Even half of his body was covered with his blood. Behind him were his comrades, who didn't lower their guns at us. One wrong move and we're gone. "Why won't you just let us free?!" Ethan yelled, taunting them not to take a step closer, or he would kill them. His voice sounded defeated, so I grabbed his hands, stroking them to ease his senses. I know he's worried about our lives being trapped again at the hands of authorities, but Ethan needs to chill down. Allen might shoot us here. "And let you kill more lives?!" Allen shouted in dismay, pointing his fingers at Ethan. "I won't let you get away with this! My country is in my hands, and it's my job to prote
"Ethan!" He didn't hear me when I called his name. Ethan suddenly lurched towards them with his claws that were flaunted to attack. I tried to stop him, but it was already too late. He already gashed with his mighty claw the first soldier he encountered, then struck it away as if it was some toy in his way. The soldier next to it fired his gunshots, but Ethan quickly ducked from the bullet onslaught and then grabbed its gun to smack it on his head. The soldier flew away before hitting his head on a stone. I covered my mouth from the monstrosity I was witnessing. Ethan was miffed, and nothing could stop him from killing these men! I run up to him, even though I know it's dangerous. I smack his shoulders telling him to stop this havoc he's creating! The more he kills, the less freedom he will have! He needs to get back into his senses! "Ethan! Behind you!" I panicked when a soldier was about to beat him with a gun when Ethan bent down and then grabbed the man on his feet. He suddenly
"Where are we heading, Ethan?" I asked while roaming my eyes around the area. I don't know where we are heading since Ethan has been walking and carrying us for about hours now.Ethan was silent the whole time. His eyes were focused on our path, and I could sense he was alert the entire time if someone might attack us out of nowhere. I glimpse down at Bobby, who was sleeping inside the bag. I was glad the pack was dry so Bobby won't shiver from the cold. I caressed his head, grateful that everything was restful for now.We're in the middle of nowhere. This time, we lost our belongings, sources, and everything we had. The only thing that remains is our lives. We're basically piteous and emptied right now. I realized a tear escaped my eyes while thinking about our situation when Ethan suddenly dropped to the ground. Since he was holding us, we rolled on the dirt."Ethan!"Bobby barked from the sudden collision. I crawled to get closer to his side. I was taken aback when I touched his sk
"Yeah, I know. Can you believe it, man? I was driving on the highway when I stumbled upon this weird lady covered with blood and mud all over her body.""Nah, man, I thought I saw a ghost or an evil spirit, ready to take my life there for a second.""No! No…she didn't harm me. The woman was actually begging for me to save her and her husband. She said they were being chased to kill them. Yeah, I know. Feels like straight from a horror movie."I grunted when I heard a series of noises. I shifted, trying to move my body but was too fagged to even move my fingers. I gradually opened my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was a chandelier hanging above. Where am I? I tried to sit up but fell miserably due to the pain and stinging I felt from my wounds and muscles. Am I dead? Is this heaven? But why does it look like a luxuriant room?I roamed my eyes around the corner of the room, squinting and processing what this place was. The room was spacious enough for the four family members to liv
“Fuck, dude, I told you she lost consciousness earlier when she saw her husband. There was this relieved in her expression, thankful. It feels like they had been through some worst shits.”“So, she had a husband?”“Aren’t you listening carefully?!”“Well, you lost me at the husband.”“Unbelievable!”I shifted from my spot when I heard faint noises again. I slowly opened my eyes, and the same chandelier hanging on the ceiling greeted me. I blink, processing what had happened when I recalled everything. I suddenly sat straight, eyes widened in horror, and at the same time, I heard yells coming from the end of the bed.I flinched because of their squealing voices. I scratched the corners of my eyes before I finally recognized who it was.“Harry…” I called his name. He was with a man I hadn’t seen before, not until now. Harry and the man were hugging each other. I looked at them from head to feet, raising a brow and totally confused about what was happening here.Harry soon realized he wa
“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
