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

ZAVIERLove for me had been different.It is said that once you set foot into that hazy, carnal corner of the world, you couldn’t go back.What happens when you step foot into aingenious part that had to do with love.My problem came in two: First was having to deal with my feelings and the other with the small fact that I was losing my mind.With the sun grazing down on my skin while talking with the Sheriff — I looked up to find her by the window of my room.In a way that I found quite comical Raini dodges but not before I knew it was her.I could have almost squealed her name, if I wasn't discussing something very important at that moment with a guest.Stiil, I couldn't help but be amused about how she had hid herself behind the curtains hiding from me and for some reason I couldn't help it other than to think about her as a fascinating creature.Moments later, I was standing at the same spot she had been just moments ago as the room was still filled with the scent of her in a wa

RAINIAsk me again in a week…Realizing it now, that word felt like I was keeping a man as prominent and influential as Zavier Wood on the hook—Who does that?The click of my heels made a squeaky noise as I made way to my room with my mind heavy with the thought of how the evening had gone…Not so bad actually.My heartbeat and I replayed each moment in deep reverberation against my deep in my mind and soul—against my rib cages, it was not like I cared too much about the most recent incident it just left me a bit unsettled.It had only been days since I arrived here and as I was standing in Front of the mirror wiping my make-up off my mind was filled with the same thing as each night. Uncertainty.The uncertainty I felt was the same, but something was different now. The ache inmy heart from frequent nightmares was replaced by a thought of him that filled every available space left prior dark.I could feel it—him—everywhere, and he wasn’t even here. As I slipped off my dress and walk

RAINIZavier looked at me for a minute, and it was as though he didn't believe what I just said about killing Trinity.For some reason I couldn't get over the fact that the dandelion mystery was back, in a way that looked most frustrating. Zavier had found the dandelion and came back with it, I could tell that the same person had been after me all this while.All concerns that it had been Giselle were far off from my memory since she had faced the same fate when she was found murdered in her home.Keeping all fingers crossed we had to wait just as he had said there was nothing we could do, then wait out all of this till it was over.All this would have been possible if I didn't get the anonymous call.I turned to look at Zavier who was sleeping and walked away to the bathroom to pick, perhaps I could tell what he was going to say if he listened or I wasn't sure if I could trust him enough just yet ."Hello?" I asked, filled with uncertainty."Hello." River voice came back trembling.I

ZAVIERWe spoke to the detective for more than twenty minutes giving him everything that was needed to find River, for me it wasike going through this ordeals again, the first time had been when I had to deal with Raini getting kidnapped and this was the second.Like the detective had told Bianca and myself there was definitely an insider there was no sign of anyone breaking into her apartment.Raini was obviously tired and perhaps hitting her second trimester was starting to weigh in on her as she was asleep as we walked down the hallway to her room.She was right there still asleep in her bed. I walked into her bedroom and sat in a chair close to the window near the bed.With the whole feeling complicated Iclosed my eyes and just took a moment formyself, taking in much breath as much as I could whole reflecting back on the entire situation.I haven’t had too many of these moments in the last few days, moments where I had to reflect on everything that was happening, the truth was

IRENEIt was still hard to take in and at the moment, my mind was racing at the moment.It was clearly on the wall, I couldn't miss it, not after how long I had stayed there with them. At that moment my mind was In a total mess.I stood right there with my head against his shoulder crying, perhaps if I had come in here a bit quicker I would have been able to save my sister.What I couldn't understand was why they had taken her."What did River say when she called?" He asked.I sniffed.With a shaky breath, I began to tell him about how she had called and why she had left in the first place.I explained why I didn't call him before leaving and everything from how I had felt angry when I got here and found nothing but the house in total mess.There was a lot to talk about and he listened to every bit of it. All I wanted to do was get rid of everything in my chest and get everything out in the open. I didn't hold anything back from him as I felt weak …Too weak." Why did they take her?"

IRENEI drove out of the car park as quickly as I could all that filled my mind while driving past the oak trees that surrounded the thick wood shrouding Zavier's home was the safety for my sister, the thought was heavy on my mind as the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to comprehend.At the back of my mind was the question asking why she had spoken in such a haste, there was a sound of silence before ending the call and despite trying to get her it was certainly difficult to.I thought about calling Zavier but opted against it in my mind as I continued with my trip…The speed I was driving at was so much that it took the thought of the twins I was carrying to make us reduce the speed.As I drove out of the gates and as I did,II spent the next few hours trying to purge Zavier out of my mind, so I replaced it with other thoughts.Or at least my thought was replaced by the thought of my sister River.I purposely looked at my phone again,keeping her call on redial w

ZAVIER.“Stupid move today, man.” Bianca said to me as she sat on my office couch while looking at my face.She was looking at me,in a manner that seemed so complicated."Where did you say she went to again?" I asked since she was the only one that had been with her all this while.I flicked a glance toward her since she had been the only one with her when she had gone out.We were having a good conversation about how my time with Raini had gone.I rubbed a hand across my smile. “I just assumed that she would want to talk to me after what she did."“You assumed wrong,” she said dryly. “She is a woman, she doesn't care about all of this.""You all are complicated." I said, rolling my eyes.Bianca looked at me laughing "With all the shit you’ve done, and the fact that you lied it would be hard for her to trust you again."I sank a little further into the couch.“Everything I do is premeditated. I think about it —You don't expect that I will not tell her about all of this" I said look

RAINITwo quiet knocks sounded on the door, and I walked toward the door to get it opened.From the conversation I had with Bianca it was obvious I had to talk with him. I had been thinking about going to his room but didn't really have the confidence just before the knock came in.When I saw it was Zavier standing on the other side, I stood straighter at the doorway looking into his eyes.With his hair combed back, in a casual shirt and Jean, his countenance appeared welcoming and breathtaking at the same time.His eyes held my stare as I looked at him, in a way it looked as though it was filledwith cold resonance—perhaps he was still angry about what I had said earlier."Are you busy?" He asked."Yeah, not doing anything now." .Every synapses in my body raced as I stood back and watched him as he walked in.My eyes widened on him. As he walked Into the room making way to the window,he stood right there and looked out of the window.Shutting the door, I sighed deeply as I walke

RAINIBianca wasn't the first to warn me about the woman and now that it made two people tell me, it felt like the universe was screaming out something and I would be a fool not to listen.Trinity made her way back. There was an exchange between the two women as it looked as though she had heard something that was being saidIt looked not too certain that she must have heard her as if in a kind of distance."I have to leave, there is something I have to do."I merely nodded my head as I thought it was better she did before any altercations started up.I never expected that they would get along, Trinity never got along with anyone except me and I guessed it had something to do with me seeing the best in people.I walked with her to the door and after closing it behind her, I turned and smirked at Bianca."What?" She shrugged. "I am just telling you the truth. " You should really look into that girl."I sighed and fell back in my seat. I’d been excited about having her over but it look

RAINI-Everything was building up inside of me and I didn’t know the best way to make myself feel better than to cry.I felt so disappointed in myself for not being as strong as I thought I should be but there was nothing I could do.I wanted the best for my children and the fear that something might happen to them made me lose faith IN myself.I started sobbing, sitting up on the bed because the tears were not just coming, I felt Indulged and very weak to have to break down because of something like this.This wasn’t minor, this was my unborn kids and I was already failing as a mother and even before they were born.Just then I heard a knock on the door interrupting me and I immediately wiped off my tears.I wondered if my tears woke up someone but I didn’t think I was sobbing that loud.“It’s me bianca, I know you’re awake, Raini opens the door.” She said gently from the other side of the door.I stood up and walked over to the door and opened the door for her and she walked in.“Co

RAINI“Is there anything you can do to help me make sure they will be safe?” I asked in a shaky voice.My babies, how could they be in danger when they aren’t even in the world yet?“There is nothing. After using the drugs I think it should all go well but I can’t say.” The doctor said picking up her documents and ready to leave the ward.My heart shattered, I didn't know how I was supposed to react to something like this and why things have to get this complicated for me.I was managing to do everything and being my best for my unborn children but everything seemed to be fine till Zavier came back into our lives.“Are you sure there’s no expensive treatment we can use to make sure they would be safe? You can’t just put us on hold.” Zavier finally said walking ahead to the doctor:I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about all of this but I knew for certain that any money from now I was going to flare out.“No, at this point after getting the drugs, there is nothing that we can do
