Dinner time had come and both Raphael and Ajax came down the stairs. Earlier, after his mom had left, Ajax asked him what his mother meant when she said infected. “She used to work at grey’s labs as a cleaner when I was younger. When the Ronald’s died-““Who are the Ronalds?” Ajax asked pretentiously. He knew they were his parents but he was fishing for information. He needed to know what Raphael thought about his parents.“Bro! I heard you ask Nicholas about your parents office, that meant they worked there. If your parents worked there, they should have told you stories about the wonders of the Ronalds.” Raphael said, enthusiasm and awe raw in his voice.“Well, not really.” Ajax responded.“So, what are the stories of the Ronalds?”“They brought systems to earth and died removing them. They thought they were doing the right thing, until they saw the harms systems could cause. They tried sending it back but died in the process.”Ajax knew all these, he wanted to know something he did

Ajax was taken aback by the feel of her lips on his but it lasted for a short time. She smiled at him and left, her hair billowing in the cold wind.He stood frozen in his spot for a while as he stared and watched her disappear from sight. She, Elena Gomez. No, Her, Elena Thorne just kissed him.He felt a surge of joy explode in him. He felt incredible like he could do anything. He felt like her could fly to the sun and back. The whole energy was bubbling in him and just when he wanted to scream in happiness, a hand pulled him to the exact dark place he had in mind to hide away from Elena.His head phones fell out of his head, landing in the exact spot he was standing. Just then, a cold sharp object pierced his stomach sending a searing pain through his body.He bent in pain as his hands went straight to the knife. The person that stabbed him still held the knife, twisted it and then the person pulled it out with force sending another wave of pain.He placed his hands over his stomach

Ajax had arrived at the wedding scene with his uncle Vaughn. Few minutes later he left him to go and see Raphael and Elena. Mostly Elena. God! He had missed her so much. He arrived first at Elena’s room. He gave himself a once over, fiddling with his fingers. hoping he looked good. Anxiety creeping slowly into his as he lifted his hands to the door knob nervously.“Ajax?” A familiar feminine voice called. His eyes flickered in the direction on the persons voice and the sight of Elena knocked the air out of his lungs.She had a silver silky gown on. Her hair was in curls, few dancing around her face. He could swear at the moment on his life that Elena was definitely an Angel.He was rarely rendered speechless by someone’s looks. This was one of the rare occasions.“Elena.” He whispered under his breath as he gazed at her, a warmth and for dancing in his eyes.“Hi Ajax” she replied mirroring his expression. She pulled him into an embrace which she pulled back few seconds after. “You c

Ajax stared at his hands. Did he just try to protect Nicholas? Did he just shoot Mr Thorne with- what the hell was this device anyway? His eyes inspected it, hoping to find a name or brand imprinted on it.. “Ajax!” Raphael exclaimed as he ran towards Ajax. “What the hell did you just do!”“The right thing.” Nicholas cut in as he dragged Thorne’s body to a black van that Ajax had not noticed until now.“What did I just do!” Ajax exclaimed as it dawned on him that he might have aided in killing someone. “Oh my God!” He whispered, his voice quivering, his fingers lifted up to his lips as his eyes flickered from Raphael to Nicholas. “Did you- is he-““Nope. He’s still alive. He’s not dead. I only ejected the system from him.”He sighed, as he felt the wave of relief wash over him.“What? System? What’s going on?” Raphael asked looking torn in confusion.“Raphael. I think it’s high time I let you in to know the secrets of Grey’s labs.” Nicholas said placing a hand on Raphael’s shoulder l

“You really do love me don’t you.” Nicholas said, eyes gleaming teasingly.“I hate you.” Ajax mumbled as he walked out of Nicholas’ office.“If you hated me you would not have saved my life.” Nicholas yelled after him.“I should have just let Mr Thorne finish you off.” Ajax said as he rolled his eyes while the door shut behind him. He could hear Nicholas cackles in the office.Ajax had started his internship at grey’s labs and Nicholas made it his life mission to rub it in his face that he, Ajax, loved him very much.Ajax regretted ever saving him.Sometimes, he asked himself why he saved Nicholas, his sworn enemy. He never seemed to know why.Actually, he knew in his subconscious but he was never going to agree to it. The spring term/ semester had resumed and Ajax had finally returned to school.He was nervous on his way back. He didn’t know how to face Raphael nor Elena.He felt nostalgic when he opened the door of his dorm. Raphael w
