What is this? What is going on?Soralina trembles violently, her hands shaking as she grips the steering wheel while her eyes get blurry from tears, making her blink rapidly to keep an eye on the road.Gustav killed mom? Why? He said he...he loved her. That she died of Pneumonia so what the fuck is this?Whimpering to herself, a few tears escape her eyes as she notices numerous cars in the side view mirror, making her release a sob.But these tears are not only because of what she heard, or why the cars are following her. She knows Gustav wants her dead now that she knows. But what has her crying is something else entirely.You knew, didn't you?You knew about this, and it made you so angry. The Scorpions told you about this, didn't they? Because they knew it would make you avenge your mother and kill Gustav, which will make things easier for them to eradicate the Cross Sword.But your anger clouded your movements so much that you decided to face him without preparations, having no b
Lucian heads up the stairs, entering Soralina's room in search of her, only to come back empty handed. He frowns, wondering what is going on.The is weird. Her friends said she didn't come to class today, but she isn't home either. Soralina isn't the kind to bunk classes, no matter how much crazy she gets.Or did she finally decide to add this to the list too?Walking out of her room and heading down stairs, Lucian almost bumps into Romeo, stopping in the last second."Oh there you are. I was going to come to you. Soralina she-"Before he knows it, Romeo pulls his gun out of his pocket and aims it directly on his forehead, the metal feeling cold against his skin. Instantly, Lucian raises his hands up in surrender, eyes going wide out of surprise."Romeo! What the hell!?""Where is she?" Romeo hisses, making Lucian knit his eyebrows together. "Where is Soralina? Where is she!?"The force of Romeo's words and the question itself has Lucian taking a step back, but Romeo is quicker and he
Have you ever had that feeling in your life when you believe that there is something you want to do, something that must be done no matter what, or you won’t find peace. Something to ease your heart and believe it was needed to be done? Have you ever had that feeling?Sometimes, it differs. Sometimes, the job that needs to be done, is often fuelled with the need for revenge. That you need to do it in order to avenge someone. And that if you don’t, it remains unfulfilled, and you feel disappointed and let down to the person you owe.So, when you do succeed, how is it supposed to feel? Is it supposed to feel great? Content? Relieved? Happy even?Probably, considering what needed to be done is done, you avenged the person you owe, it’s over, your heart is content.But is it? For Soralina, is it really over? Is she content?With her gun still in her hand and raised upwards, she releases a long breath, her eyes slowly going down and looking at the body sprawled on the floor, the blood cove
What am I doing?Where am I going?“Fuck.” Soralina hisses under her breath as she continues to drive on and on. Dusk had already settled a long time ago, and yet Soralina hadn’t stopped even once to take a break, fearing that she is still being tailed. And as a matter of fact, she is.Going down the road, Soralina glances at her fuel meter, cursing yet again as she sees she is almost out of fuel. Any minute the car may die down and she will be stuck, stranded in the middle of nowhere.So saving up how much fuel she has, Soralina heads for the nearest gas station. For it isn’t only the car that needs food, Soralina is hungry too. Her stomach growls in protest just like her car, so as quickly as possible Soralina spots the most nearest gas station and immediately pulls over, getting out to finish the work.As she stands filling up her car, she stares around her, at the casual life and the calm night sky, wishing to have just another normal day in life and not be a runaway.Is this what
Suho runs into Louise's room, finally releasing an internal sigh of relief when he sees the mess is cleared from the room. Who knew it would take the death of his mother and her blood staining his floor for him to finally get cleaning.As Suho enters inside, he eases his breathing and tries to stand rigid, watching as Louise stands before his full length mirror, casually tying up his tie around his neck with his face now completely shaven.Thank the Lords; he finally is back to his senses.I mean...he showered, that should be saying something."Louise, I have update." Suho says, but Louise does not even turn around, his face not holding any emotions as he asks. "Is she dead?""No, not yet." Suho answers, eyeing his Boss warily as he wonders how he will react upon the second update. But first, he has to finish this. "Gustav Russo found her trying to flee with her body guard. The body guard is dead, but Soralina is still alive. But not for long. She is surrounded, so she will probably d
Flashbacks:With her eyes narrowed, Agatha pulled out her books from her locker, her presence completely oblivious to Morris as he talked animatedly with his friends about the date he scored with the infamous Soralina Russo, or the rainbow girl."Wow cool man! You can finally know what she feels like!" Said one of his friends, making Morris slap his back. "It wasn't that as hard as I thought. She is freaking smitten with me."They laughed in unison before hushing down all of a sudden, and Morris said in a whisper very much loud for Agatha to hear. "I'm pretty sure it will be that easy to get into her pants as well!"This made Agatha's movement come to a stop, making her glare at the inside of her locker as her hands tightened around the book she was holding, while the boys laughed out loud at the lame joke.No...I don't think you will.Releasing a sigh, Agatha calmed herself down before putting on her fake smile and shutting her locker up, waking towards the group of boys and bringing
One Year Ago:The car Agatha stole remained parked near a dumpster as she jumped to the back seat, changing her clothes and pulling on Mario’s clothes that she stole as well. Once she was done, she opened the door, bundling up her old clothes and dumping them on the dumpster. Once done, she stared at her surroundings, noticing there to be no surveillance in this area.Good. The next time I’m caught on camera, it won’t be me you will see.Pulling her cap lower over the eyes with her hairs tied up in a bun inside, she got back in the car, finally driving deeper into the city. Deeper into Paris.She stared around her, at the road and they slowly shifted from empty hills and cliffs to something more with life, houses and barns coming now and then just like at the end of Milan. She had been driving for a whole day, and she was hungry, more so because of the life growing inside her.I don’t get hungry easily, but because of you, I am. Agatha gritted her teeth, staring directly at the road.
Three Months Later:With angry steps, Agatha stormed inside Sister Aria’s room, finding the lady with a bunch of more nuns including Sister Nina. One look at her glaring face and the nuns stood up once by one, getting out of the room safe for Sister Nina and Aria.Agatha stormed forward and without waiting to beat around the bush, she got to the point. “When are we going?”“Going where Alexandra darling?” Sister Aria asked, although she had a clear idea of what Agatha was talking about. And judging by the fuming glare in her eyes, she knew Sister Aria knew too. “Don’t play dumb. You know what.”“I’m afraid I don’t.” Sister Aria finally looked up at Agatha with a smile plastered on her face and this only made the young girl even more angry. “Fine! When are we going to the hospital to abort this thing!?”The smile left Sister Aria’s face but Agatha didn’t care the least. “That, is not a thing. It is your child, and you are its mother. Just because we call it an ‘it’, doesn’t make it a t
Agatha stares at the sleeping figure of Theo on the bed, no real emotions crossing her face. Unlike the hospital room that she received when she came in the Scorpio Venom Society, all plain white, Theo’s is different. There’s a whole forest painted in the walls with baby elephant’s and giraffes and monkeys and every other forest animal, smiling and playing within themselves. Her bed is just the same, and so is her nightgown. And as Agatha sits there staring at her daughter, she feels like she is staring at a younger version of herself. You look so much like me, and yet, when you open your eyes, you look like that damned man. Like your father. Thinking to herself, she doesn’t even realize when her hand moves to her neck as she grabs the anklet, playing with it in between her fingers. And just as she does that, she remembers a certain someone, feeling like it was only yesterday that she met him and kissed him in his soft lips as he held her in his arms and comforted her. Pulling the a
Silence prevailed all over the room as Agatha finished her story, stalking around the room and looking at all of Louise’s belongings with a blank face. but just because she is blank does not mean the others are, especially not Soralina.“After that, Lucian and I stayed in the America, watching your every moves, making sure you were always protected and out of trouble. Lucian made sure to check on you while I…I looked after my daughter.” Agatha concludes, stopping right in front of Louise’s desk as she notices something she hasn’t seen for six years, something that was stolen from her by Louise.Soralina stares down at her legs while Theo makes her way to her, clutching Soralina’s hand. “So…Xavier is…alive?”Agatha turns to look at her sister, slowly nodding her head as she takes the anklet in her hands, the one Louise stole from her when he drugged her. “He is very much alive. In fact, he is even listening to us right now.”Louise head whips towards Agatha, making her point her ears.
Xavier...is alive?How...How is this possible?Xavier was dead. He died as a baby. He..."No." Agatha breathed out, shaking her head continuously. "You are not Xavier. Xavier is dead. He died at infancy even before I was born. Don’t you fucking lie to me!"The anger and hatred in Agatha's voice had Xavier tilting his head sideways in amusement. "And who told you that little sister?"Silence."Gustav?"Yeah. But I won't tell you that.Xavier chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "Since when did you believe anything Gustav ever said? So far, everything he told you turned out to be a lie. What made you still believe in it?""I...I..." Agatha stammered, wanting to doubt Xavier’s words and tell him he was trying to manipulate her but she didn’t. Because deep down she knew he was right. Gustav lied about everything; he could have lied about this too."No he didn't. This was the only time he was actually honest with you."What?Agatha's head whipped to the man with a glare set in her face,
Flashback:Agatha lied there with her back pressed to the rock hard earth, her heart beat slowly disappearing but her pulse remained. She drifted from in and out of consciousness, not knowing how long she was there and when death would come to her and take her away already.She knew Soralina had been there and was already gone, hopefully to take care of Theo. But what she didn’t understand was, why she was still alive.Just as she believed she was taking her final breath with her beating finally ceasing, she heard the muffled voices of men from a distance, or more like they were bear her, she just couldn't sense dye to her body shutting down."She's here. Boss! We found her! She's here. You don't have to come up." Someone was whisper yelling like as if scared to be heard.Agatha's head moved to the side, wanting to know what was going on around her until the face of a man zoomed in on her, eye brows knitted together in worry."Is she even alive?" Another said, joining his companion. T
Soralina stares at her sister, her eyes turning wide with shock and horror at the sight of the girl she thought was dead for the last five years. Her lips remain parted in surprise, voice giving up on her while Agatha finally turns her attention away from Louise, before they feel on Soralina. Green eyes colliding with blue.So…you are the greed eyed hooded figure? The two of you?You were the ones saving me this whole time? Watching over me?Slowly but surely, Agatha’s lips morph into a smile as she walks towards the girl, looking down at her. “Hello sister.”“A-A-Agatha?” Soralina whispers, her hands rising up as she gently touches her sister’s cheeks as if checking to see whether she is real or not. Agatha smiles sincerely, her own eyes getting glassy as she holds onto Soralina’s hands letting it reach her cheeks. “Yes, me.”Soralina huffs, disbelief never leaving her as the first of her tears start to drop, making Agatha tear up as well. “It’s…you?”“No one else but your twin, Lina
USA, 2022,Shock and horror registers in Louise's face as his jaw drops down, his eyes staring at anything but Soralina and the little girl beside him.He staggers backwards, his breathing getting laboured as he takes in Soralina's story. "No. No you are lying. This is not possible. Agatha and I never...We never...""Never what Louise?" Soralina asks in a deadbeat voice, already done wiping her tears after remincing her past life. "Never made love to Agatha?""I...""Of course you didn't. You don't do things nicely." Soralina replies with bitterness in her voice as her eyes get darker. "What you did, was rape her."Louise's head shoots up in light speed, finally understanding what Soralina means. He remembers that time, the time he drugged Agatha and made love to her. He remembers it because that was the only time he ever got to do it, and it remained memorable.But what he didn't know, is that she was pregnant after that."Of course you didn't know it. Because Agatha isn't crazy to t
Present day:Words failed Soralina as she sat there with Agatha's limp body in her arms, feeling numb all over. It has been only thirty seconds since Agatha passed away, but to Soralina it feels like decades, centuries, as she feels the bond between then being severed, detached, removed.Above her she can hear the echoes of the battle which is soon coming to an end, with one side only alive now to be the victor. And a part of her already knows who it is.Slowly but surely, Soralina gently places Agatha's head down in the hard rock floor, brushing her stray hairs from her face as she sucks in a deep breath, willing herself to move and not start crying again."Goodbye, my other half." Soralina said, feeling her usual excited heart beating now being just a mere thudding in the chest, just like every normal human being. Because the one that held that excitement in her heart, is now gone.Not wasting another second, Soralina tears her eyes from her sister and stands up, knowing another sec
“Here, drink this.” Sister Aria said as she offered Agatha a bottled mango juice, making the girl smile at her. “Thank you. Where is Sister Nina?”“She is getting your reports checked.” Sister Aria replied, taking a seat beside the girl in the waiting room while Agatha nodded. This made Sister Aria turn towards her, tilting her head to get a better look. “You did a great job Agatha. I’m so proud of you.”A tight lipped smile appears in Agatha’s lips as she touches her belly, listening to the soft heartbeat of her daughter. Sucking in a deep breath, she said. “Do you think I can do it? be a mother?”Sister Aria smiled at her sincerely, rubbing the girls back. “Aww my dear, of course you can. What makes you doubt so?”“I have never even spared a glance towards a baby, let alone take care of one.” Agatha replied earnestly before turning to stare at her palms as she said softly. “I kill people Sister Aria. I don’t protect.”The young girls words broke the lady’s heart, wishing to somehow
