The morning sun rays pierced through the curtains and laid on his face, Allen woke up, his hands trying to shield his eyes from the rays, it was a futile attempt, he stood up reluctantly, checking the time on his phone.“David’s expecting me, it’s 9 am already!!” Allen panicked, checking the notification on his phone ‘At Cecil restaurant’ it read, it was a message from David giving the location for their meeting.“I need to be somewhere this morning,” Allen said to Stephanie “Once I leave, don’t open or answer the doors except it’s me” he added. He noticed she still fidgeted, she calmly nodded for approval, Allen quickly rushed into the bathroom, trying to have his bath.After the morning cold bath, Allen got in his outfit, the same one as the day before because they didn’t have time to pack any clothes or any belongings. Stephanie still felt scared, her eyes were pale, her brother called in for some food even before she finished her bath, and had dresses for her.After Stephanie had
The darkness was overwhelming, her eyes were closed and restricted for a long time, the light emanating from the window pierced through her eyelids forcing her eyes open, Stephanie felt scared, her hands bound to a chair, her feet as well.Her struggle was futile, she couldn’t even see the person standing right in front of her “You have done well Marv” the voice said, the man in front of her was confident, too much for her liking “My brother will find me” Stephanie blurted out still attempting to free herself.“That’s what we want,” the man said cackling, Stephanie’s blood ran cold, and her hands began to shiver “What do you mean?” She asked, her voice piercing the ears of the men “We want him to find you sweetheart, then we’ll kill him, you’ll both die here” the man said in another cackle.His voice scared her even more, her voice had become even more shaky, “No… don’t hurt my brother” she said in tears “I’m not sure you have the freedom to care about him right now, pumpkins” The man
The men had started losing hope that they could win “Finish him off!!” The scarred man yelled. He seemed even more angry as he noticed that his henchmen couldn’t even lay a hand on Allen.Allen’s speed had increased, more so, his combat skills, he kept punching, moving swiftly as wind not minding who would be hit next. Soon after, the men were on the floor, groaning, they were in pain.Allen couldn’t stop smiling “Ultimate is amazing, fighting this many people is now a piece of cake” He muttered to himself as he dragged the last henchman by his collar towards the scrawny man.“You all are weak!!!” The man yelled, taking the dark jacket off his shoulders, his tatted skin looked just as scary as his face, and his eyes were full of rage, he walked towards Allen “I have been waiting for this opportunity, Allen Scott” the man said, his eyes focused on his target.“I don’t even know you, I can’t remember who you are” Allen replied, clenching his fists “But if it’s a fight you want, it’s a f
David paced around his office pondering about Allen’s words, which may be right “What if he’s being attacked by one of us?” David muttered to himself as a figure walked through the open door.“McKinney, you asked for me?” William said, his voice was calm “Oh Yes, please, sit” David said, pointing to the chair right in front of his desk, William pulled out the chair and had a seat.“I spoke with him yesterday,” David said, his hands clasped together “Who? Allen?” William asked, leaning backward towards his chair so he could be comfortable.“And what feedback did you receive from him?” William asked “He said his family was attacked,” David said as he was sighing “Attacked?!!” William exclaimed leaning forward, there was a surprise look on his face, “He’s fine anyways” David said, his eyes were low and calm.“Well, did you speak to him afterward?” William asked with keen interest “He suspects us, our kind” David said, standing up, he started pacing about “He doesn’t trust us” David added
Allen was in his new home, far from the troubles of the bubbling town he once stayed in, one that almost got him killed. In his room, he dashed Stephanie’s phone as well for fear of a tracking device or even worse a hidden recorder.He walked downstairs to have breakfast, the night before was quite hectic even for him, his sister was already at the dining table waiting for the chef’s food “Your food is quite tasty, Mrs Hugoi” Stephanie said, her face lighting up.“You like her food, don’t you?” Allen said from the top of the stairs, his night robe leaving his chest bare “I’ll have coffee” he said to the woman with an apron. “Okay sir, and thank you, Miss Stephanie,” the woman said, boiling some water for the coffee being asked for.Allen wanted to enjoy a quiet life, far away from people he knew, even though he missed one person, the girl with ash brown hair and die-shaped eyes, Ellen. Although he hadn’t visited her in a while and currently destroyed his phone, he had a photographic m
David kept pondering about what the man had spoken about, he wasn’t sure he understood fully what he meant but he was serious. David picked up his phone, dialing William’s phone number. He didn’t pick up on the first ring and not even on the second but the third call went through and William answered the phone.“Hello, McKinney, is there a problem?” William asked, “Well I think there is a bit of an issue” David answered, although his voice was low and even calm, his expression wasn’t, it was as though he was scared of some sort.“What is it? I’m sure it’s about Allen” William continued his voice was calm “I’m on my way” he added. On getting to David’s office, he saw the man with hands folded behind his back, his eyes focused on the scenario out of the office window.“I came as soon as I could, what could be the pressing issue?” William asked walking over to David “Master Lincoln was here” David answered, William paused, “What, what does he want?” He asked “We’re going hunting” David a
Allen tried enjoying the nice evening with his sister, constantly staring at the people on the screen, watching a movie “So..how did it go?” Stephanie asked, her face lifted to watch her brother’s reaction.“How did what go?” Allen asked sounding unbothered, his eyes fixed on the television, his fingers in the bowl of popcorn “Are you acting clueless right now?” Stephanie asked, lifting her head from his thighs.“Why are you so curious?” Allen asked, focused on the show in front of him, “Let’s watch the movie, okay?” He said to his sister, her eyes watching him “Anyways, the date wasn’t so bad, she’s okay with going out again” Allen finally said burning his face in the popcorn.“Really!!! Then why didn’t you want to tell me?” Stephanie asked in a high tone, her eyes gleaming as though she had acquired a lottery “Well, you’re looking for the details, something I don’t think I’m cut out for” Allen answered smiling as he watched his sister.“I’m happy with whatever decision you make brot
Allen drove as fast as he could recalling the voice that had spoken on the phone “You need to go there, talk to David, don’t let him find you first” The voice sounded urgent, and not care if his life would be in danger, he pressed down the accelerator, clutching on to the steering wheel so tightly.“Miss, there are some people outside the house saying they want to see Master Allen,” the elderly woman said to Stephanie as she munched on her lunch “Tell them my brother isn’t home” she answered not having too much thought of it.“I have already informed them but they’re still outside, still insisting on seeing him” the woman answered, her hands clasped together “I’ll call Allen,” Stephanie said as she walked to her room “Go to your rooms and lock the doors, now” she added as she put her brother on speed dial.“Hello, Allen,” Stephanie said with a bit of fear in her voice “Hey, is everything alright?” Allen asked, stopping the car “No, everything’s not alright, there are some scary men at
