RAINI POV"DID you get the card?" Bianca asked soon as we got to the first door."Yes, I did."Immediately, I showed her the card I had taken from the man at the last moment just before we had slipped out of the room."Be quick about it." She screamed out at me and at the last moment, I got the card out and swiped it across as the door opened."This is the first out of many, just keep bth cards handy."I was about asking how many we had to get out when I heard someone scream from behind."Fuck, they've found his body already …run!"I needed no one to tell me twice as she pulled me down the hallway as we made our way out further into the darkness that looked to be enveloping us .The sound of the alarm beeped and soon we could hear the heavy footsteps coming our way."How do you want to get us out of here?" I found myself asking as she worked the second lock."Just keep your voice down, they don't know we are two and I hope it works out that way.As I was about to speak and probably as
RAINI POVNever thought my heart could beat this way.How am I to describe it, Heavy or Dark?Whatever I was feeling at that moment, all I cared about was the fact that my heart felt like a heavy load—An extraordinary baggage I couldn't wait to get rid of.The truth was she made it lighter, all through this while Bianca made it better.Still I couldn't help it-Call fear a vagabond, at that moment I was enslaved to its darkness as it was all I could see standing right there close to my fear.All I could hear was the voice of the guards, my heart beat and the sound of the water -like- fall like a fountain coming from the building.At that moment all I could feel was the heavy way at which my heart was going, it was so heavy that I feared anyone not where we might hear and it would give us away.I looked down standing at what looked like the looking from a skyscraper down, before then I could always tell that the building was but I had not been able to tell how high it was."There is n
RAINIThey say when you are to jump off a cliff, don't think just do it.They fail to express how those last few minutes would be—It was merely a jump yet I could feel everything all at once, I could feel those anonymous feelings no one ever speaks about.The heaviness, the seized breath—The struggling to take in air and the fear.I could feel it all at once in the most amazing and scary way and it happened with a lid scream.Soon, I was struggling to get back to the surface of the water.I paddled my feet as I made way to the surface, spitting out water as I took in fresh air."Bianca?" I called out scared as I drove back into the water.I could find her floating down Ward as I dived in to help her out.A gunshot echoed and soon others followed.I was in the driving seat now, together with Bianca unconscious we made our way to the shore.Soon, I was pulling her out of the water wet and all, I pushed against her chest.I had spent most of my time learning about this and so it didn
RAINI POV Too much adrenaline wasted …A rabbit ran across the path ahead of us and it explained the twig that we had heard breaking seconds past .Still it left a painful feeling upon your heart, one that was too hard to explain, one that was birthed from fear.Moments like this only happen in Horror movies?As much as I hated it, at this very moment I was about to play the lead in this-"Thought you said they won't come after us?" I asked in a whisper."Fuck, I really didn't think this through." Bianca said, bringing out the phone.Water trickled down from the phone, as she threw it on the ground in frustration.The last thing she wanted was someone following us and I knew it, I could see the fear in her eyes even if she tried to hide too.All through this while, throughout the moment we were trying to get away…right till when we had jumped the cliff I had seen a different side from what I was seeing at this moment and in a way it was totally different from this moment.The chil
ZAVIER POVOne of my favorite virtues was certainly not patience.For two hours I had been standing right there at a spot waiting, waiting for her to call but still I had gotten nothing.The thought of what she could be going through at this moment, nibbled at my heart slowly till nothing was left of it than a fragment of what it used to be.There is nothing I could do and it was obvious that I could not take my wolf on a run as it was difficult to transition with the mindset I had at the moment.The alignment of mind was totally tampered with, then with no idea of where she was it had been easier to deal with it, but now that I was aware of her impending danger all what my mind was after is to have her right there in my palms again.It seemed too much like a wish and considering how Bianca had described the fortress it would be a very difficult move for her, but then she had sworn with her life to get her out alive.At first, I had asked that I come with her— I could start a war if
RAINI POVMaybe, it would have been perfect if I slept all through the night but then the moment I had dreaded crept up on me when I woke up mid-way.I couldn't tell the time but I knew dusk was still a bit far away.The night was one of the longest and coldest since the years I'd walked the four corners of life.From the hooting of owls to the sound of the night birds.From howls to the sound of wild beasts, it was easy to say the night was terrible.Dawn seemed so far away, as we lay on the bed of twigs and brown earth.It took my mind back to the past, back to the moment when I had always wanted to camp out.Despite being observant as a child and wanting to analyze and explore the world I doubted If I could have dealt with it.Deep in me was still that little girl that had always wanted that identity in life, I had thought I would find it as I got older but here I was after this whole time.I still found myself as a little girl standing in front of life, and staring at a reflection
ZAVIERIt took just one look at her to know what she'd been through.The sun was just out in its full glory as I was leaving the lone road where I had been and was heading into the highway.Raini had gotten into the car as fast as she could and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep immediately her head hit the soft sofa of the car.She took the back seat of the convertible, while Bianca sat with me at the front as music played from the car's audio player."She would need therapy." Bianca said, taking out a stick from the cigarette box.She took off the sweat shirt that had been on her exposing the black wolf tattoo on her left upper arm."Did she see that?" I nudged at the tattoo."No, she didn't…I am not sure she would have paid much attention to it either, if she did." She puffed out a mist of smoke and coughs."Been long time since I did this."One part of my mind wanted to ask how she had gotten herself in so much deep shit.Lastly, I had remembered of her that she was a bo
RAINI The days blurred slowly and gave way to the night, I was still getting used to the serenity this new place I found myself that looked to be almost perfect.There appeared to be something quite perfect about this place that I couldn't place my fingers about from the concrete ceilings. Concrete walls. Concrete floors—That were engraved with what looked to be the head of a wolf to other things around the house.He took time helping with the stitches and running his fingers along my back as he made to ease the pain that had accumulated over the time that I had been there.Zavier popped two tablets into my hands asking to have adequate rest before walking out of the door again.When he was gone, I walked to the phone at the bedside and thought about ringing River. She had been on my mind all this while and I couldn't wait to reach out to her.The number rang twice, but no one answered…It got me worried for a while and just when I decided to call one more time and give up she picked
