“Stay here.” Ajax whispered to the duo. Natasha and Raphael had accompanied him to Caroline’s house. It was already night when they got to the house.It was conveniently not far from the college. He wasn’t surprised because Caroline had to stay close to school since she could not get dorms.“And miss out all the fun?” Raphael said shaking his head in disagreement.“I’m serious Raph.” Ajax chided. An emotion similar to fear flashed in his eyes as he glanced around, hoping they were safe. “This dude is dangerous. And I don’t mean high school boys dangerous, I mean Like lethal and evil villain kind of dangerous. So, please just Stay here with your girl. I can’t be trying to save myself and Elena with you and Natasha.”“We should listen to him Raph.” Natasha whispered tugging Raphael, fear evident in her eyes.Raphael rolled his eyes at him but nevertheless, he agreed.“Once you hear my signal, come in. I might need reinforcements. Once you see me walk out, that means you would have to le
Thunder crackled in the distance as the clouds grew bright with lightning which lasted for a split second. That split second was enough for him to see clearly that it was Elena.And the look on her face was heart breaking. It took a while before it dawned on him that Elena just saw him kissing another girl.Elena had a huge rain boots on with an umbrella and a coat, but as she saw him, the umbrella fell off her hands, while the rain poured heavily on her without mercy.She could taste salt and she wondered at the back of her mind if it was her tears or the rain was salty.That was not her main cause of worry at the moment. All that matters was that she felt like though someone has slammed their hands through her chest with a chainsaw and drove it in as it sliced through her heart, cutting it painfully, the machine whirling without mercy.She choked back a sob and turned on her heels. She wasn’t going to let him see her breakdown.“Elena wait!” Ajax called out to her but that was wh
Ajax and Raphael had resumed their internship after their return to the dorm. It was one of those days that they were called in. Raphael had taken it upon himself to get close to Nicholas in every way possible.Ajax who never really cared was now stuck with a Nicholas- obsessed- Raphael.“Do you think he like it if I washed his car.” Raphael mumbled, eyebrows knitted in worry.Any person seeing him would think he had something serious on his mind. They would not know he was thinking of how to make his boss like him more.It was their break and they were supposed to get some extra stationeries for Nicholas. He gave them specific instructions on it.Ajax rolled his eyes. “I think he would love it if you let him shit in your mouth by.”Raphael gasped in horror. “That’s insane!” His face morphed into one of determination. “But I would let him gladly. As long as he lik-”“Dude what the hell!” Ajax exclaimed, staring at him unbelievably. “Did you not hear the sarcasm dripping in my words!
First she smiled at him, her gaze soft. But it was just for a fleeting moment.A fleeting moment in which her memories of the day and night came rushing back like as though the flood gate holding it was pushed open. Her eyes widened. Her expression was torn between fear, anger, disappointment, confusion and something Ajax could not quite decipher.With tears stinging her eyes, the soft look she had totally disappearing, She flinched back, trying her best to keep her distance from him.“Elena-“ he started before she cut him off.“Where the hell am I?” Her eyes looked around the unfamiliar room in total unrecognition“You are in my home. You collapsed.” Ajax said in the softest voice he could ever muster. Hoping it would lighten the tension and nervousness she felt.“I collapsed?” She asked disbelieving.“Yeah, when you puked, you vomited.” Ajax exclaimed in details.“Oh, I have to go.” She murmured to herself as she attempted to stand up but s She winced, her hands holding her head a
Lectures had begun and learning was in going in full force. As every usual day, Ajax would return from lectures and spend his time in his dorm, either playing games or in a conversation with Raphael. Most of the time he was reading. Even though he was about a month ahead, he still read. His grades showed for it. He was the best in his level with a CGPA of 4.99.“Ajax.” Raphael said as he rushed in.Ajax tensed, heart race increasing at the sudden burst in.“Guess what! There is this frat party holding. It is for seniors but I got a way we can go in.” Raphael said rather cheery than usual.Ajax rolled his eyes at him and fixated his eyes back on his computer.Raphael frowned and marched to his bed and slapped the laptop closed.“Bro! Come on!” Ajax exclaimed.“Bro. Come on.” Raphael repeated mimicking Ajax’s voice. He sighed then continued. “For real though, it would be fun. Don’t you think we deserve a little bit of fun.” He said, whining.“Seriously Raphael, I’ll pass. I got a lot
First, it was blood spatters all over the wall. Bloodied Elena and Ajax on the floor laughing, tired and breathing heavily. With two bodies on the sprawled on the floor. Secondly, they heard screams of people, the scent of blood heavy in the air.Thirdly,YOU HAVE FEW HOURS LEFT.It all started from the party.***“Bro, come on.” Raphael said in a duh tone. “You can’t fool me. You are hiding something, which I don’t give a shit about.” He headed back to his corner. “And I have no idea of what party is going to be like. I just know it would be fun.”Ajax sighed.“But, from my reliable sources, it might be a pool party too.” Raphael added.Ajax’s features turned into one of surprise and horror. After that particular horrific event in which Raphael left him to drown in the water at the beach, he now had a phobia for water.“Did I ever say I was going to join you for a party?” Ajax asked, his expression seriously quizzical.Raphael chuckled.“I really don’t feel too good Ralph, maybe so
“You said what?” Elena asked looking dumbfounded.The screams of the students grew louder. Ajax silently and mentally changed his look.“Elena, they are in danger.” Ajax said and rushed into the building looking loudly he was going to save the day, when in fact, he was running away from Elena’s questions.He saw everyone gathered around with drinks in their hands. There was a pool too. He had not noticed it previously.Raphael was right about it being a pool party. He saw some students standing separately, butt naked and he thought that it was weird.They looked scared, giving off the vibes of freshman students.“Next up, You lot are going to swim across this pool to the other end.” A male voice boomed.Raphael looked around searching for the person with the voice.“The temperature is high. Whoever is the last persons loses their ability to join this fraternity.” The masculine voice continued.Elena’s sound of chuckle took his attention.He stared at her with an eyebrow lifted waitin
“So first, you would go into Nicholas office, ask him to lunch in his office. Tell him you have something serious you would love to discuss over lunch.” Raphael stated. They were going through the plan one more time.Their plan was to cause false alarm, and then when things go south, Ajax would go into Nicholas’s office and grab the spare master card that could open every door in the lab.It was their time for recess. They were having the conversation at a restaurant close to the lab.“I swear, this plan is stupid. Nicholas would never agree to have lunch with me and eww!” Ajax exclaimed making a face.“Calm down bro.” Raphael assured him. “If he agrees, find a way to make him to leave the office and then you grab the master card and leave. You know where he drops it right?”Ajax nodded. “The top of the drawer. The right hand side.”“Great. Now. If plan A fails, we move to plan B.”Ajax grinned. He relaxed his back on the chair. Empty glass of smoothie was on their table as they con
