Prior to these events, Ajax was taking a walk with Vaughn. The walk was a silent one. When Ajax had tried to start a conversation with him, Vaughn had hushed him to keep quiet.“Night walks are to be made in quietness. Just you and your thoughts. Admiring nature.” Vaughn had said.Ajax had nodded and glanced around.The street was quite calm. People returned back to their various homes from work. The hustle and bustling in the streets had died down. Most shops had turned their open sign around to show they were now closed. A cool breeze blew, causing yellow leaves that fell from trees during the summer to scatter around.It was the time of the evening when the sun set and there was just light for a very little while longer.As he walked, he inhaled the fresh air. The air felt alive, like it was breathing, as if summer itself had decided to hang on a few minutes more before coming back for good.They walked a long distance, taking in the sight of their surroundings. Feeding their ey
The talk during the long walk with Vaughn ended during dinner when Ajax and Vaughn spoke about systems.“Now. I am a scientist, and I am not supposed to believe in the existence of the supernatural as there has been no cognitive and tangible real scientific proof. You understand me right?”“I do.” Ajax said nodding.“Good. But I do believe in the existence of mother mature and God. And I believe that there should be a balance to everything.” Vaughn continued. “So when I found out about their little experiment and touch with the space and the outside world. Creatures from a different dimension, I was intrigued and enthralled.”Vaughn looked to Ajax to see if he was listening. Ajax nodded showing that he was listening. “Go ahead.”“Leah and Rodney came to me, expressing their concerns and everything about it. They gave their theories about the portals opening to restore the balance and then that was how I knew these systems were bad.Since they disturbed the balance of the natur
“It’s a really great party!” A girl named Kelly greeted with the weirdest smile ever. She was dressed in the skimpiest out fit ever. That was what she was known for in the college. For Her dressing fits. Always exposing.She had thick eyeliner and glitters everywhere in her make up. Elena found it cool, pretty and dark in a way, but it was not something she would ever see herself wearing.It was 8 o’clock in the night when people started arriving. Elena was at the door welcoming everyone with a bright smile.“Damn. Your place is really nice!” Another guy Elena knew as the basketball team’s captain said as he walked in.Several girls walked in giggling and waving ‘hi’s’ to Elena and giving nice comments here and there.Ajax and Raphael had made sure every lighting was in place. Decorations were appropriate. Party games too. Anything that would make a party splendid? Name it. They made it available. They made sure the party was one that people would keep talking about for weeks
“Oh I’ve been great.” Adam answered nodding his head and looking sheepish.Elena wondered the relationship between the duo because from the look of things, Adam was acting like Ajax was way older than him. He was regarding Ajax with so much respect.“Hi Elena!” He turned to Elena, greeting her with a smile.Elena threw a smile back, nodding at him, acknowledging him. Everything about him felt and seemed familiar but she could not quite tell out pin point it.“Sorry have we met before?” Elena was forced ahead as she stared at him quizzically.Adam laughed nervously as his eyes flickered between Ajax and Elena. “Umm. Yeah. Kinda.”Elena became interested and took a step closer, reducing the distance between them.“Please elaborate because my brain seems all jumbled up. I can’t seem to remember where I saw this face.”Adam chuckled nervously again. “Well….. when we met… you almost choked me to death.” He said gesturing with his hands. “Does it ring a bell?”Elena shook her head. Honestly
“ Natasha?” He repeated staring at her unsurely.“Raphy baby” she slurred blinking at him seductively, her lashes fanning her cheeks.It had been a long while since Raphael set his eyes on Natasha. She had gone AWOL after their split and seeing her here at the party was… crazy.It was good to see her though, but there was something about her that had changed and he could not quite figure it out.“Hey Natasha.” He greeted as he pulled her up to stand properly.“I miiiiissssedd yurrrr!” She slurred staring at him.Yup. This mama was wasted. Beyond wasted.“Give me that. Can I have that?” Raphael said grabbing the bottle from her hands rather not-gently.“Naaaaahhh!” Natasha whined and tried to take it from him but she missed her step and almost fell, but he caught her just in time.“Come with me.” Raphael said holding and supporting her. His eyes scanned the room to look for Elena, but she was no where to be found. He did not know how to handle this. This was supposed to be Elena’s thin
Hey!” Adam whispered , wincing and stretching his hands forward to calm Caroline downThe two of them were still in her room. “You are screaming. You will attract people.”“Oh come on.” Caroline said. Elena could imagine her rolling her eyes and waving her hands dismissively. “Elena is taking her time watching Ajax who is drunk as hell!” Caroline continue. “That was a good idea though. Getting Ajax drunk. Raphael is also still under your compulsion in the guests room. Besides, the party is loud. They definitely can’t hear a thing from up here. Those kids are outside keeping an eye out for us. What could happen?” The girl Caroline mumbled, explaining her line of reasoning.Had Elena heard enough? Should she go in? She was getting new information and she knew she needed more.They had the guts to compel Raphael. And it was Adam that did it, that meant that Adam had a system. She felt like she knew all of these but she could not remember how and when and why.Of course he had a system. S
Raphael was sat on the bed while Natasha sat on the floor beside him, a knife to her wrist. Blood stains splattered everywhere on the floor and Elena saw red. Blinded with rage she marched towards them.“Wait! Stop!” Raphael screamed at Elena as she marched to them. She stopped abruptly staring at him with a raised eyebrow.“Natasha has been compelled. She just keeps saying that she has to keep me in and distracted and if I try to leave, she will have to cut herself till she bleeds out.” Raphael explained.Elena walked to Natasha who was crying profusely as she held the knife to her wrist. “I don’t want to do this Elena.” Natasha cried. “But I can’t stop myself.”Elena nodded at her tried to take the knife away from her gently, but Natasha’s grip on it was strong.“Oh.” Elena breathed as she understood that Natasha could not also bring herself to drop the knife.Elena looked up sighing before turning to her. “I’m sorry but I have to-” she threw a
Raphael and Ajax had begun their job back at Grey’s labs. Every day they went to work. Most nights, they spent it there.Nicholas who had no idea that they had resumed was beyond shocked when he met them in their lab.He was just taking a walk down the hallways to the elevator when he heard sounds of voices coming from down the opposite side of the hallways. He stilled in surprise and perplexity and slowly approached the direction of the voice wondering which of his workers had the guts to venture into Mr and Mrs Ronald’s lab.He was beyond surprised to see Ajax and Raphael sitting on the floor with papers and documents scattered all over the table and floor.“What the hell!” Nicholas exclaimed in surprise.Raphael and Ajax’s eyes snapped up to him immediately. The dark circles under their eyes were evidences that they had been working and not slept.“Were you not given two weeks break Ajax?” Nicholas started mustering every strictness in him.“No Nick. It was just one. I Apologize
