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
The house was in flames, yet Stephanie was safe, pacing around, sorting for some sort of solution “I don’t even know what’s happening outside, where’s brother?” She asked, her voice was haughty and she was almost in tears.“You seem composed, Allen,” the man in the driver seat said, his voice mocking “Will you keep quiet or do you want me to shut your mouth?” William asked, his voice with a hint of anger “Focus on the road and drive” he demanded “Yes sir” the man answered clenching the steering wheel.“I’m not sure why the master has so much interest in you Allen but I can guess why, you’re a mysterious one,” William asked looking over his shoulder to watch Allen.“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Allen replied staring at the window. “I hope she’s okay,” he thought to himself.Stephanie had already accepted her fate, she was trapped in her room without knowing what was happening outside, she didn’t want to know at that point. The flames had already been put out by the wind an
The darkness was overwhelming “He sounds like he’s in pain” Stephanie said, tears trickling down her face “Your brother is damned to die, I just wanted you to see him for the last time” William replied, his face with a smirk.“William!! Why is she here?” Allen asked, his shackles clinking “Why is my brother chained like an animal?” She asked looking at William with anger “Get her out of here!!!” Allen yelled “Your brother asked you to leave, don’t worry, you’ll see him again, out in the light” William answered grabbing her wrist.“No...no” Stephanie protested, struggling to get free from his grasp, his hold on her wrist had become even tighter, he pulled her till he was out of the room.“Your brother did not like to see you in there, he was angered, that’s progress,” William said with a cascading smile “What do you mean by that?” Stephanie asked, her eyes reddening “You’ll see, this is going to be just as fun” William said as he whispered for her to sleep.In the upper room, all the s
The enraged look in his eyes, as he advanced toward the police, gave off an eerie feeling. The police had now exhausted their bullets. Ultimate looked at his hand, filled with different kinds of bullets. “Step back!!” The policemen at the front yelled.Ultimate advanced even closer and closer, his body had begun to emanate some sort of steam, “That thing isn’t human, run if you can!!” One of the police officers said running backward releasing more rounds of bullets.“I do not need mere humans” Ultimate’s voice deepened, the armor was still up guarding every part of him, he had no remorse whatsoever for the people in front of him.Allen had begun to gain consciousness in the armor, Ultimate had begun to slow down, Allen could hardly see what was in front of him and all the police officers had exhausted their bullets except one.Allen had reached a vulnerable state, and that’s when a round was shot, hitting his leg “It penetrated” the other police officer exclaimed, “Get more rounds and
