The walk back to the van was a short and quiet one.

The little girl had her hands latched on to Ajax’s hands as though he was her life support.

As soon as they got into the van, Nicolas asked the driver to start moving ignoring the questioning look his team members gave him.

“We were waiting for your order.” One of the ladies spoke up.

“What is your name?” Ajax asked softly, trying to strike up a conversation with the little girl.

“It was no longer needed.” Nicholas answered the lady.

“I’m Aimee.” The little girl said replying to Ajax as she picked on her jumper.

“Okay Aimee, I’m Ajax.” Ajax said pointing to himself.

Aimee nodded.

“So, can you tell me when it started?” Ajax asked.

    “That was Caroline right?” Raphael asked as soon as the both of them got to their lab.Ajax was shoving his stuffs back in to the bag he usually carried to work while Raphael stood by at the door waiting for him.The hall ways were empty now. The whole construction workers had closed so there was no rowdy movements anymore. Nicholas was downstairs with his workers, so they were the only ones on that floor.“No. It was my mother.” Ajax mumbled sarcastically.Raphael frowned. “Your mother? I thought you said your parents are dea-” His frown dropped. “Your playing with me. So I am guessing that that was Caroline right?”Ajax had finished arranging his stuffs and started walking towards Raphael who stood by the door.“So what did she want?” Raphael asked pushing the door open for Ajax to walk through.“I have absolutely no idea.” Ajax answered walking through the door and heading towards the elevator.Raphael shut the door and walked quickly trying to match up Ajax’s pace. “You are walkin

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.

    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
