Caroline shifted awkwardly, adjusting her dress because of Ajax’s stare. “You. You’re his date?”She chuckled lightly as she realized why he stared the way he did earlier.“No. No I’m not. My aunt is. She asked me to come and deliver a message. There would be change in plans.”Ajax nodded as he felt a weight lift of his chest. He wondered what about her not being with Nicolas made him feel relieved.Waving the thought aside, he shifted, giving her space to go in.***Classes at Richmore college had been going on as usual. Even their internship too. It was weird seeing Elena and Ajax being interns, seeing as they were only fresh man students, but they were not any regular freshman.Ajax had returned from lectures as usual to see Raphael seated as usual in his bed with his headphones and laptop. The only thing different was that Raphael shut his laptop quickly immediately he sighted Ajax coming in.The sound of his heart racing did not escape Ajax’s super sensitive ears.“Hey bro! You’

“What exactly is in the lab that you guard so much?” Ajax mumbled, mouth filled with food. Lately he had been more hungry than usual. Whenever he ate he could not stop himself from eating fast and too much. It had to be because of the extra strength he had been using from system.“Why do you even want to know?” Nicholas replied.The two of them were having dinner at a restaurant. Apparently, Ajax was supposed to keep him distracted and stall him until he receives the signal to bring him into the lab.“I think I deserve to know.” Ajax said throwing Nicholas a frown. Bits of the burger fell from his mouth and he smiled embarrassingly. He picked up the serviette and wiped him mouth clean.Nicholas stared at him for a while before resting back on the chair, his eyes scrutinizing Ajax.“Why are you having dinner with me?” Nicholas asked again.“I had a fight with Raphael. I am avoiding him.” Ajax lied straight up, reaching for a smoothie.“And….” Nicholas further inquired.“I needed to cal

“Hello Raphael.” The eerie voice said in the darkness.The sparks of the light was enough to shine on this strangers face. The person looked unfamiliar but yet familiar.“Umm… do I know you?” Raphael mumbled as he looked around finding an escape route, because this person was blocking the only way out.“No you don’t. But you must have heard of me.” The person said advancing slowly and menacingly towards Raphael.“Look man. I know you caught me spoiling and cutting off the electricity.” Raphael started as he raised his hands up in form of surrender. “You can take me to Nicholas. I just knew I would fuck this up.”“What?” The person said with a quizzical raised eyebrow.Raphael shot him a look. “Wait, you are not going to report me?” Raphael smiled at him. “Thank you.” He said and stepped forward to leave but this person blocked his way.The person was a man and he looked buff.“Not so fast Ralphy…..” the person drawled.***Nicholas, Ajax and Elena sat together, drinking- more like, th

Elena grabbed his hands and pulled him to the security men that stood like robots. They looked unusually calm and stood in one place not moving a muscle.“It’s like enchantment. Like compulsion. Making someone do whatever you will.” Elena explained as she peered into their eyes.She walked over to one of the men, placing her hands on his shoulders, she whispered. “Blink.”The man blinked immediately. She turned to Ajax who looked at her with confusion evident in his eyes. “I don’t understand. Any body would blink if you ask them to.”Elena rolled her eyes and decided to try something again. She looked into his eyes again and whispered. “Stop breathing. Hold your breath until I tell you to release it.”Right before Ajax’s eyes, the man inhaled sharply. Ajax looked at Elena quizzically. “I still do-”“Shh…” Elena hushed him. “calm down and watch.”Ajax watched as the man’s eyes widened in fear as he struggled to breath but his body was not complying. He turned red as sweat trickled
Billionaire leveling up Escape Mission
Raphael had been sitting in silence for a while. No one else had come to check on the reason behind the power failure. Not even Ajax and Elena came to check on him to know why he hadn’t returned as planned. The stranger was oddly silent. He could not even hear his breathing, but he could feel his presence which made it all the more creepy.It was not long, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.“C’mon man! Pick up your phone.” He heard the person grit in annoyance. The voice was so familiar. He did not have to think too hard to know that it was Nicholas.Nicholas had the light of his phone on which he used to light the hallway as he walked. He was dialing Ajax’s line because he was yet to see him.***Nicholas had been seated in the hall of the party for a while awaiting Ajax’s return. Everyone had turned on the torchlight of their phones to make the hall bright.The hall was filled with chatter as some chatted with each other while drinking. Slowly, they began to leave one a
Billionaire leveling up Truth Revealed
Elena had never entered the lab.The whole lab was out of electricity, but somehow it did not affect the lab. She was awed by the technology she saw.It was like something out of a sci-fi movie.She saw a device suspended in the air and blue ring of light around it. She wondered what science was behind it.For some reason she wished she hadn’t picked the medical aspect. Maybe, just maybe she would have focused more on physics and mechanics.She lifted her hands to feel it when Ajax’s voice stopped her.“Don’t touch anything.” He was walking towards them. “If you do, Nicholas would find out someone was in here.”“And if we don’t leave right now, Nicholas will find out we were here. In fact he would catch us here red handed.” Raphael exclaimed in frustration.“What is he talking about?” Ajax asked turning to Elena.“We have to go. Nicholas is on his way here.”“Shit!” Ajax cursed. “I don’t know what to take that he would not find out.” He paused as a black object caught his eyes.“Now t

“Elena!” Raphael yelled shaking her awake. She was lifeless.Ajax. That was the first person on his mind. He quickly rummaged in his pocket searching for his phone but he couldn’t find it.His eyes went back to Elena. Seeing her in such state reminded him of his dad and it made his heart break.“Ele.. na…” his voice broke. He noticed a light blink through her pockets.He frantically rummaged through it. It was her phone. She had just received a text from a certain knight that had a lot of love and cute face emojis attached to it.It wouldn’t take a genius to know that it was Ajax. He tapped on the message but it asked for Face ID instead.His eyes flickered to her. He rushed to her side and with his fingers, he lifted her eyes to show her eyeballs and immediately it unlocked.“Where are you?” The text said. It was definitely Ajax so he called back, using the FaceTime audio.The other person at the end of the line answered at the first ring. “Elena…” the voice said.Raphael recognized

“Hey man. Have you checked out that stuff you grabbed from your parents labs yet?” Raphael asked changing the topic.The air became tense as two pairs of eyes were fixed on him.He sighed. “Yeah I have.”***After the ‘night of horror’, Ajax had never really had the chance to check out the object he snatched from his parents labs.One faithful hot afternoon, he had returned to his dorm to see a note from Raph, telling him that he would not be around till evening as he had gone out with his girl.Ajax thanked his stars and quickly fished out the object from the hiding spot.It was a microphone thingy. He didn’t know the name, but he knew what it was.Whenever scientist were carrying out experiments, they usually used it to record their experiments.He pressed the play button and the sound of his mother’s voice coming from it made his heart swell and tighten at the same time.It was a bittersweet feeling. It was a new feeling he could not quite describe.“Preliminary report. Device 7001

HORROR. TRAUMATIZED
A weak smile graced his features as he walked through it.His eyes flipped open and he saw himself sprawled out across the floor with his hands still reaching out and holding Raphael by the chains.He felt pain in every muscle but slowly the pain began to subside. As it subsided, strength came in. When he was strong enough, he snapped the chains apart and they broke, freeing Raphael.Raphael looked at him with a mixture of worry, sadness and some thing along the lines of love. “Are you okay?” Raphael asked as he quickly freed himself from the chains and rushed up to Ajax.He cupped his face and wiped away something from his eyes.Ajax had no idea he was even tearing up. He lifted his hands to wipe his own tears. That was when he saw that he was crying tears.His eyes flickered to the reflection of himself in a mirror not so far away. He gasped as he saw the trail of blood that ran from his eyes, down to his cheeks. His ears too had the trail of blood. His nose and mouth were not left o

ANOTHER MORNING IN CHAINS
THE following morning, Ajax woke up to an empty bed. He opened his eyes and the clock hanging just in front of him showed that it was noon.“Okay.” He murmured. “I think something is definitely wrong. How does one sleep till twelve in the afternoon.” He could hear the sound of water rushing from a door situated on the left side of the wall. He figured that it was the bathroom and that Elena was probably having her bath.He tried sitting up and that was when he noticed that he was tied down. He frowned but then the frown was replaced with a knowing smile. “Elena.” He called. “Are you trying to molest me?”There was no reply. He chuc kled and threw his head back on the bed as he sat waiting for her to come.About three minutes had gone by.“Who pays the water bill for this place?” Ajax wondered out loud. “You use a really lot of water.”Five minutes had gone by by and he frowned. That was odd. Elena never took that long to bath. He listened carefully and that was when he heard it. The s

A STEAMY NIGHT
Raphael and Elena huddled around him quickly. “Oh my God.” The two off them chorused repeating his words.“What are you going to do?” Elena asked looking up at him.“I have no clue.” Ajax answered, his heart racing. The call ended.“Give me that.” Raphael said grabbing it from Ajax’s hands. He turned it off and placed it in his pocket. “There.” He said smiling. “Problem solved.”***Nicholas had been calling Ajax all day. His workers back at Grey’s labs had been able to created more strips following Ajax’s parents experiment and methods.They had brought wears for safety and protection in preparation for the battle/ fight.Nicholas also got tiny tracking devices to fix on any of the people so that they could track them back to their abode.***“The place is not bad.” Raphael said as soon as they got in. “Our place is better, but it’s better than the dorms in school.”Ajax could not agree more. It looked like Caroline’s apartment back when she was dating Nate.The sitting room. Two roo

RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE ENEMY
Ajax’s eyes scrutinized him. Now that was a lie. A big fat one. He was definitely going to keep it for himself. Now he was slowly beginning to see what Caroline was seeing.“That way, we live without fear of anything in and around our city.” Gregory added.“I would go with you on the day of the mission. I am doing this not just because I want my freedom for mainly for my love for Elena.” Ajax stated firmly. His eyes glanced at Elena who was sitting and watching them. The love and willingness to fight filled his eyes. “We stick together right?”Elena could not help the smile creeping up her face. She nodded at him. “Yes we do.”“This would be weird though.” Raphael said scratching his head. “Fighting against the people I have always loved and adored, But I am in too.”Gregory chuckled. “First of all, I really admire your willingness to join us. I really appreciate, but I am sorry you would not have to do that.”“What?” Raphael said frowning. His friends; Elena and Ajax had the sam

MEETING WITH GREGORY
First it was the Ray of sunlight that hit his eyes. It woke him up, but he did not open his eyes. He laid there for a while. Suddenly, a shadow crossed, shielding the sun away from his eyes.He slowly opened his eyes and met Elena’s brown ones.“Hey.” Ajax mumbled in his groggy night voice.“Good afternoon.” She greeted with a smile.He frowned. “Afternoon?”That was when he saw the red lipstick on her lips and her eyelashes coated in mascara with a wing liner. His eyebrows knitted deeper. She was convered in make up. Was it really not morning?He tried getting up, but Elena was on him keeping him down.“Yas.” She said as she sat up, giving him his personal space. “You have been sleeping till almost three o’clock in the afternoon.” Elena pointed out.He sat up and grabbed his watch from the drawer close to their bed. His eyes grew wide. “What? How!” He exclaimed in disbelief.“You must have been really stressed out these couple days. Have you even been sleeping?” Elena asked as she cl

ATTACK IN THE QUARTERS
She could not see the person doing it. The person blended with the darkness. She hurried towards Raphael. “Are you okay?” She whispered as she helped him up. She pulled him behind her as she enhanced her eye sight so that she could see clearly in the night.She could make out three figures. Two men and a woman. They were hiding at strategic positions.Raphael’s heart was racing erratically as he stood behind Elena. He could see barely nothing in this darkness.He glanced at Ajax. Ajax who was still dressed in his white shirt and corporate pants was crouched.Suddenly, Ajax flung his hands in the air and a figure fell to the floor, landing a little distance from Raphael. Raphael gasped in surprise.Ajax was very alert. He had no idea who their attackers were. These were one of those times he was happy that his girlfriend also had a system. She was a strong girl and could fend off these people on her own, but he could not help but still worry for her.His eyes turned to check up on

IN THE QUARTERS
“Damn bro.” Raphael said smiling and patting Ajax’s back in pride. “You are one smart ass.”Ajax threw him a smile. “Of course I am.”The two continued walking. In the dark lonely street.It was late and people had gone to bed. There was not a single soul in sight. The two young boys had fallen silent that was when they felt the cold bite of the chill wind.“Uh.. so what are.. where are we going?” Raphael said rubbing his hands against his body to create heat.“I have no idea man. I am just walking.” Ajax said turning to Raphael.The two tried to hold a serious expression but failed and ended up laughing hysterically.“Hold up.” Ajax said stopping. “Let me try Elena. Maybe she would lead us to where she is.”***Elena had gotten to the quarters, her eyes red and face covered with dried tears. She had walked all the way to the place with a heavy heart and tears spilling down her eyes till there was no tears left to cry.How did she get here? How did her sweet relationship with Ajax

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE
Elena got to the stairs and stopped. She looked back at Ajax. He was not making even the slightest move to even chase after her. It broke her heart to say the least. Was he actually choosing Nicholas and Caroline over her? Her eyes flickered to Caroline who stood at a corner. She glanced at Raphael. He shook his head at her with his expression torn between worry, disappointment, sadness and betrayal.She turned to Ajax, he still stood with shock. She could see the little pool of tears gathering in his eyes.Her heart was breaking. Was he actually not coming after her. Her vision began to get blurred as the tears that was in her eyes threatened to fall.She spun around and ran up the stairs into her room and shut the door behind her. Her breathing ragged she took in deep breaths to calm herself.Slowly the reality of everything that just happened began to dawn on her. Ajax had just chosen Caroline and Nicolas over her.She had just lost him. She had lost Ajax. Her lips parted in d

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Ajax, Caroline and Raphael turned around and saw Elena standing and watching them with a frown.Tension and silence descended amidst them, making the atmosphere thick. “Oh hi.” Caroline greeted with a cheerful smile, her voice light as a squeak.Suddenly, she felt a flurry of wind hit her as she saw a blur of white and then Elena was tackled into a hug.She gasped at the sudden movement. Was that how much he missed her? She could not help but smile at the duo. No, she did not feel any atom of jealousy. She had fully gotten over Ajax that she could not see him in such light anymore.As for Ajax, all he did was listen to Caroline tell the story of Elena when he heard the soft voice he had been craving to hear for days now.The sight of her felt like he had been in a dark room for a really long and was finally let out to see the light.Although his girl had frown lines on her head with a scowl and eye bags that showed that she had not been sleeping and how stressed she had been, yet she
