A gift

NOVAAmaya transformed into a lawyer, just right before my eyes. One minute she was grieving her missing child, and the next she was making calls, calling as many people as she could, to ask for help. For the first time, I saw her in a new light. Gone was the woman who always got on my nerves. Replaced by that old version of her was a mother concerned for her son. After calling the people she could for help, she left, after confirming everything with me. However, not before promising to take care of the kids should there be any need for it. I was sitting on the only chair in the kid's room while Brion sat on River's bed when I got a text. I didn't waste any time unlocking my phone. “Hello dear, Nova. I have a gift for you,” the text read. Before I could ponder on the strange message, I got another one, this one with a detailed address of a place close to Lilith's house. “Brion, check this out.” I drew up from the chair and walked over to him, passing the phone. Brion's brows fur

Did you get my gift?

“The text must have been sent by her aide,” Brion said, placing his hand under his jaw, looking to be in deep thought. “Exactly my concerns. According to the doctor, she took the poison between 4 PM and 5 PM. We arrived an hour later, while the text was sent at 5:20. I believe her accomplice harmed her. But why? Why go to such an extreme to get rid of her? Did they perhaps have a falling out?” I wondered, relaxing on the chair. To avoid getting overheard by the sleeping kids, we stayed outside their ward. With everything happening, I had no intention of letting them out of our sight, which was why I always had Brion over whenever I wanted to leave. “This is something we will know the answer to when she wakes, that's if she does,” Brion let out a sigh.“The doctor said she will survive. However, she might have complications. Not like that's my concern. I just want her awake, so she can tell us where they took Dashiell. The more time we waste, the more in trouble he will be. We need

I've gotten their location

“Are you alright?” Brion scrunched his face as he watched me. He got up from the bed and sauntered towards me, to take the things I got. “Do you want to talk about it?”I turned to look at my kids before shaking my head. Forcing a smile I walked up to their bed. Willow and River were sitting on her bed, playing games with Brion's phone, but they stopped when I walked in. “Mum, are you okay?” Willow asked, looking as worried as Brion looked. “Of course, why won't I?” Sitting on the bed, I grinned. “So, what have you guys been up to? Still playing that game?” I made a face at that. I'd seen no attractions with playing games that weren't puzzles. Anything aside from that was a 'no' for me. “Uncle Brion downloaded a new game!” River gushed, passing the phone to me. “We have been playing it since you left. So far, I have gotten the best score. Willow can't play.”“Yeah, the same way you can't play my dress-up games better than me.” Willow folded her arms, glaring at him. “Of course, I

Don't come closer

DASHIELL I should have known it was a fucking trap, but I blindly walked into the house without a moment of hesitation. My only mistake was not telling anyone about it. I figured Lilith was the only one there and couldn't hurt me. Who would have thought it was a fucking ambush???Grunting, I tried to sit up on the bed, but couldn't. My entire body hurts. I believed they hit me pretty badly when I fell unconscious because the moment I woke up; it felt as if a train ran over me. Gritting out, I attempted once more to sit up. The chain clinked together as I did that; the ones holding on to my ankle, making it difficult for me to stretch my feet. Puffing out a breath. I glanced around the place they kept me. It looked rundown.The walls were cracked, with peeling paint and rusty pipes exposed. A faint smell of mould and decay hung in the air. I didn't know where I was, but I knew it wasn't in the best part of the city. A lone, flickering light bulb cast eerie shadows on the walls. The

Tortured

I screamed out. It felt like ants were crawling inside my body, looking for a way out. The woman's sharp laughter accompanied my scream. I didn't make out anything else she said because of the intense pain, one which rocked me to my core. I tugged on the chains holding me, screaming out as I barred my teeth. I wanted an out, to get away from whatever was in the injection. Beads of sweat trailed down my face as I continued to tug on the chain, screaming. Almost instantly, the pain stopped. It was as if someone were using a button to control the intensity. Panting, I peered up at her, my eyes narrowed, and my teeth barred. “Do you like my gift?” She chuckled, amused at my misery. I opened my mouth to speak, but couldn't let out a word before a new intense wave of shock went through me. I arched my back, my body convulsing as the electricity coursed through my veins. The chains rattled against the wall as I thrashed about, desperate to escape the agony. The woman's laughter grew loude

Taught to shoot

NOVAI called Ben after I got his number from Henry, and he came over to the hospital. It was late, but I asked him to escort me to check the location out while advising Brion to call the cops if he didn't hear from us. I didn't want to repeat the same mistakes Dashiell did. I knew calling the cops was the best to do, but wanted to avoid their siren sounds, alerting them of our presence. Ben thought my idea was a great one. As a detective, I knew he could tell what the best approach would be. At exactly 10 PM, we set out for the place.I was apprehensive, thinking of how dangerous this was. Back at the hospital, with Ben's arrival 30 minutes after I called him, I didn't know how late it was until we started driving towards the place. The farther we went, the thinner people became. It was like going up a hill. “Are you certain this is the location?” I asked Ben, growing cold feet the more he drove into a depilated part of the city, a place I had never been to, one I didn't even drea

Is this his blood?

We walked up the stairs, our gazes sharp and alert. We didn't want any of the occupants in the abandoned building to know our steps. Ben took the lead, leaving me in the rear. I was scared, thinking of someone jumping from the dark to dig their claws into my chest. The image I got was vivid. It didn't help that I recalled horror movies I watched years ago. The people at the back are mostly the ones who die first. Ben's steps were silent as he climbed, and I tried to keep the same pace with him despite the shivering of my body. I clutched tightly to the gun, pointing it in all directions. The silence in the house was deafening. For a moment, I thought we were frozen in time, walking the stairs of a haunted house. The cobwebs in every corner were the worst. I would have screamed when I caught one with my gun had it not been for the mission. I swallowed back the scream, panting heavily while seeking to remain calm. Did I tell you it was an impossible feat? Of course, it was. I'd seen

A different Nova

My eyes were puffy when I woke up the next morning after a restless night of tossing around in bed. I only slept for an hour, but that was enough for me. I had my bath and got dressed before I left for my kids' room. They were awake already, so I bathed them and helped them brush their teeth before I bought breakfast. After eating, Brion returned to his room to bathe and get dressed for the day, before he met me outside the children's room. I filled him up on everything, letting him know my plans. It was while we were discussing the next step to take that a nurse informed us Lilith had woken up. Brion would have gone with me, but I asked him to stay with the kids as I rushed over to her room. I opened the door and stormed in, resisting the urge to slam the door. Lilith was sitting up on the bed when I arrived. The moment she saw me, her face turned as white as a sheet. “Nova?”“Having sight issues, are you now?” I walked over to the bed, my gaze going on the handcuffs holding her.

Going Solo isn't as attractive as I thought

“Are you really going there alone?” Brion lifted a brow, watching me get dressed for the assignment. Surely you're joking, right? Are you messing with me? I should have known that was what you were doing.”"Not in the slightest. I am heading out solo. I still have my gun with me, remember? If it turns out to be a trap, I will shoot those damned bastards right in their eyes. He must have found the promise in my gaze amusing, as he chuckled and covered his mouth with his right hand. “Though what you said right there is funny, we can't ignore the enormous elephant in the room. That is far too massive for that. You, Nova, aren't going anywhere without informing the police. I don't want to lose you, and I know the kids don't. We still need you, and —”“You are making this sound dramatic.” I rolled my eyes at him as I checked my reflection in the mirror. I didn't dress up. I just changed my style. Instead of the beautiful flowery gown I wore this morning, it was now a black shirt and blac

You could have been killed!

I complied, lying flat on the ground as the officers approached. They quickly subdued the third man, who was still trying to escape, and took the others away. I laid on the ground, thinking of a way out, until I looked up and saw Officer Maxwell walking over to me with a frown on his face. “Is that you, Nova?” He demanded, closing the distance between us. At his approach, the police officers standing around me made way for him, each watching him intently.He reached down and helped me up from the ground, passing a handkerchief to me so I could wipe the dirt. Smiling, I took it from him and started cleaning the dirt on my body. From hiding behind the bush to lying flat on the ground, I looked like a mess, like I barely survived. “Do you know how dangerous your moves were, Nova? You could have gotten yourself hit?!” He yelled at my face the moment I finished cleaning up. “Why are you so damned reckless??!”“I didn't get killed, did I?” I lifted my shoulders in a shrug, acting like I
