The room was quite dark, it was quite hard for the young girl to move around the place, she had only a guarding voice following her as she trailed off. She walked closer to what seemed like a monument, she placed her hand on it to understand the sculpture before her.It was a creature, she couldn’t make out what she had just touched, it felt damp and touching the part where the head was supposed to be, she noticed that it was empty, just then, a loud thud sounded through, a ray of light came with it, it was lightning, she noticed what she had touched, had no head, she pulled back, screaming in terror.She grappled to the ground, and she felt vines trying their best to have their grasp on her, she looked at the sculpture in horror, it was familiar, and it felt absurd, she touched her head, because what she had seen made her so shocked she crawled away, “That can’t be me” she said with a shaky voice.As she tried to run away from the horror of what she had seen, she noticed a man standi
Jessica watched as her date walked to the bathroom, how could she tell him that although she was the one who brought the idea, she felt so uncomfortable sitting and dining with the same people who made rumors about her in high school?She mustered enough courage to walk over to where a group of people sat, chattering as well “Jess” a young man said alerting the others as they looked at her “Good evening, guys” Jessica said with a shy smile.She calmly sat on the empty seat with her name on it “So.. where’s your boyfriend we famously heard about from Valerie” A young lady said enthusiastically “Yeah, we would like to see him” a young man said with a grin on his lips, holding a glass of wine to his lips.“I’m sure Valerie just said things,” another said stopping her from speaking “He.. just went.. to the washroom,” Jessica said with a shaky voice “He must have bladder issues,” another said laughing as the others joined him as well.Valerie knew that it was the wrong choice she had made
Palmer felt on edge while he sat in a circle of people more fierce than he had ever worked with, a younger man who had a stern expression sat at the end of the table, his chair facing the window, his back against the rest of them who sat in the room.“Grey” the man called out, making Palmer lose his composure “Ye..yes sir” he answered, his voice low and shaky “You said you wouldn’t make your granddaughter continue in your footsteps, didn’t you?” The man asked, his voice was cold “Yes sir” Palmer answered.“Then who’s going to take after you then” the man said in a rather calm voice as all eyes turned to Palmer, his face becoming pale, “My soon-to-be grandson-in-law, he’s more than capable,” the old man said in a frail voice. “Well then, do well to have him see me,” the man said in a cold voice as Palmer took his seat.After the meeting, the men left the room, going to the various destinations “He still gives me a mild heart attack whenever I see him” Palmer said to the man walking by
Arnold held her hand gently until he reached the car, opening the door to the passenger seat for her, Jessica watched her head and entered the car.All eyes had turned to the couple as they walked into their car, Arnold had one last glance at Ronald “We’ll meet again soon” he muttered. Arnold entered the driver’s seat of the car and started driving.His eyes focused solely on the road, trying his best not to recall what he had said in the restaurant ‘Babe?’ He thought to himself, he tried his best to avoid eye contact with Jessica whose eyes stared deep at his soul as he drove, he could tell she was smiling from ear to ear even without looking at her.“Thank you” Jessica muttered “Huh?” Arnold said trying to hear what she had just said “I said thank you and also I’m sorry about them” she voiced out, Arnold looked at her for a while before focusing on the road once more “It’s fine, it wasn’t your fault, they were assholes, I need to commend you for putting up with them,” Arnold said ma
Allen submerged himself into the pool of water, groaning “Today was rather a long day” he said putting his face in the water. Then he heard a sound, a ring, it was his phone, pulling his face out of the water.He took on the the towel hanging on the side, taking it to his face, he cleaned up the water from his face before approaching the table where his phone was with his body bare.“Hello,” he said on the phone “They tried to get into the house” Phily answered in a low tone. “Really? Are you hurt? What about David and Ellen?” Allen asked him “They’re both fine, we put them in a semi-conscious state” Phily answered calmly notifying him that all was well.“Fine then, I’ll interrogate them myself,” he said before ending the call. “That was a tricky move William” Allen said to himself “I’ll make sure you never have to do that again” he muttered, dropping the phone on the table before taking his night robe.After wearing the robe, he calmly sat on the end of the huge bed, taking his phone
He lay in wait, holding his binoculars in the dark, he noticed two men holding what seemed like heavy rifles pacing “So they’re truly hiding something in there” he muttered holding the binoculars even more firmly.He noticed the men watching the perimeters as though they were hawks, keeping their eyes peeled as he watched them from afar. “What are they hiding?” The man muttered still watching them.Something had happened attracting the attention of the guards, it seemed like an explosion, the men rushed to the scene “They’re leaving their posts, go, go, go” the man whispered into the telecom.The men behind moved at his command going in, they climbed down the cliff, moving with their knives and guns as stealthy as they could, trying their best not to make any sounds.“Got eyes on an opening” he suddenly heard from his telecom “Got it, follow” he answered moving as well. They followed commands and entered the gates that were now free because the guards had become occupied with the expl
The room was too dark, she moved her hands around the walls as she heard footsteps “Why are you here?” She asked with a sobbing throat “I came to inform you that even though your brother’s dead, he positioned people who would look for you, I must commend him” the man said, his hands behind his back.“What… what do you mean by that?” She asked, her voice becoming stronger “Don’t you dare tell me he’s dead, he’s alive, he’ll find me and kill you” she said pointing her fingers towards him.“Come on, now, you don’t have to be that harsh” he answered walking closer to her “Besides he got his part of revenge when he slashed through my illusion, giving me this scar” he added “Now, he’s gone and once I finish the troop he sent, I’ll send you to him, for now, I want them to have hope that they can find you” he said with a smirk.“He’ll kill you, my brother Allen will have your head on a platter!!!!” Stephanie replied, screaming at him as he left “Goodbye.. my love” he answered with a smile.“M
Arnold’s body looked numb, to those standing over him, “Bring him closer” the voice ordered once more, “Hmmm, he’s out cold” the man seated on an armed chair said “Strap him up” the man ordered, the men following as they were told.“He seems ordinary,” the man said once more “Blindfold, now!” He ordered. Arnold was put in a chair and blindfolded, in normal scenarios as Allen he would be able to evade whatever attack came his way but he knew the voice giving orders, he knew he had to be calm.Arnold’s body temperature had begun to rise and his pulse had begun to slow down as well “He’s quite weak” a man strapping him to a chair said “Well, we doused him with sedatives.. so” the other said when a man walked in and they both slightly bowed “Sir” they both said in unison.“What do you think his reason is?” One asked as the man had left, the room still somewhat dark “I’m not sure, you’ve seen him do worse for no reason whatsoever, I don’t think this is different” the other answered “Let’s
