Ajax and Raphael had returned to school to face their studies head on. Literally, because there was never an hour that went by that Ajax was not buried in his book. Well, except for when he has to eat, use the toilet or basic necessary things as such. Raphael had even teased him about it. Ajax seemed to be rubbing off on Raphael because Raphael seemed to also develop the same thing.Now it was Ajax’s turn to tease him about it.“Aww, is the ladies man buried in his book and not a ladies- ow” Ajax was yet to complete his statement when Raphael threw a book at him.“Shut up.” Raphael shut his book and stood up. He threw some slides on and headed to his coat rack. It was December, which meant winter the weather would be cold outside.It was also a sign that he was about to leave the room.“Aww, is he sad that gloomy Ajax is rubbing off on him?” Ajax teased further wiggling an eyebrow.Raphael stepped out with a scowl on his face, banging the door dramatically after him. It made Ajax fall
Ajax was taken aback by the feel of her lips on his but it lasted for a short time. She smiled at him and left, her hair billowing in the cold wind.He stood frozen in his spot for a while as he stared and watched her disappear from sight. She, Elena Gomez. No, Her, Elena Thorne just kissed him.He felt a surge of joy explode in him. He felt incredible like he could do anything. He felt like her could fly to the sun and back. The whole energy was bubbling in him and just when he wanted to scream in happiness, a hand pulled him to the exact dark place he had in mind to hide away from Elena.His head phones fell out of his head, landing in the exact spot he was standing. Just then, a cold sharp object pierced his stomach sending a searing pain through his body.He bent in pain as his hands went straight to the knife. The person that stabbed him still held the knife, twisted it and then the person pulled it out with force sending another wave of pain.He placed his hands over his stomach
Toxin expulsion? What toxin? Does that mean he was poisoned? And reactivating? Does that mean he was poisoned before?[SYSTEM DETECTED AN UNKNOWN TOXIN. THE KNIFE CONTAINED A DEADLY TOXIN. HOST WOULD DIE IF NOT ADMINISTERED THE CURE.]Cut the crap and talk to me! Ajax yelled in his head.[THE KNIFE NATE USED TO STAB YOU WAS LACED IN POISON THAT WENT STRAIGHT TO YOUR BLOOD SYSTEM. I DETECTED IT AND IT’S BEING EXPELLED IN.]Oh. Once again he had been saved by the system. But what did she mean reactivating? Has this been done before?[WHEN YOU INGESTED TOO MUCH OF THE PUNCH FROM THE HALLOWEEN PARTY, YOU HAD TOO MUCH LIQUIFIED NITROGEN, SO YOU EXPELLED IT WHEN YOU VOMITED OUTSIDE]Realization dawned on Ajax. No wonder Raphael warned him not to drink too much. He silently thanked the system. Just then, he heard Elena scream from the door bathroom.Well, not scream. More like exclaimed in surprise that his wound was bleeding again.[SEALING WOUND]Wait what? He felt another scorching and s
Ajax had arrived at the wedding scene with his uncle Vaughn. Few minutes later he left him to go and see Raphael and Elena. Mostly Elena. God! He had missed her so much. He arrived first at Elena’s room. He gave himself a once over, fiddling with his fingers. hoping he looked good. Anxiety creeping slowly into his as he lifted his hands to the door knob nervously.“Ajax?” A familiar feminine voice called. His eyes flickered in the direction on the persons voice and the sight of Elena knocked the air out of his lungs.She had a silver silky gown on. Her hair was in curls, few dancing around her face. He could swear at the moment on his life that Elena was definitely an Angel.He was rarely rendered speechless by someone’s looks. This was one of the rare occasions.“Elena.” He whispered under his breath as he gazed at her, a warmth and for dancing in his eyes.“Hi Ajax” she replied mirroring his expression. She pulled him into an embrace which she pulled back few seconds after. “You c
Gasps of shock filled the air as confusion and surprise flashed in everyone’s faces. “What is going on?” Massie asked as she visibly gripped her newly wedded husband’s hand tightly.Mr Thorne seemed to be unsure at first before realization struck on him. “Babe. Do you trust me?”Massie stared up at him, eyes full of confusion. “Yes.. yes I do.” She said stuttering.“Good. I need you to go back to our wedding field and stand at the pulpit. Don’t turn your back until you’re there. Don’t leave until I’m back.” He whispered in a rush. His eyes visibly begged her to listen to him.She nodded even though she looked unsure. She turned to leave, grabbing her flowing wedding gown in her hand, she headed back to the field.As soon as she left, the wedding guests followed suit scattering around, leaving the scene.Ajax got to find out that most of them were hired people. Thorne and Massie had little no friends and they did not want the seats to me empty, so they hired people.Vaughn, who was a
Ajax stared at his hands. Did he just try to protect Nicholas? Did he just shoot Mr Thorne with- what the hell was this device anyway? His eyes inspected it, hoping to find a name or brand imprinted on it.. “Ajax!” Raphael exclaimed as he ran towards Ajax. “What the hell did you just do!”“The right thing.” Nicholas cut in as he dragged Thorne’s body to a black van that Ajax had not noticed until now.“What did I just do!” Ajax exclaimed as it dawned on him that he might have aided in killing someone. “Oh my God!” He whispered, his voice quivering, his fingers lifted up to his lips as his eyes flickered from Raphael to Nicholas. “Did you- is he-““Nope. He’s still alive. He’s not dead. I only ejected the system from him.”He sighed, as he felt the wave of relief wash over him.“What? System? What’s going on?” Raphael asked looking torn in confusion.“Raphael. I think it’s high time I let you in to know the secrets of Grey’s labs.” Nicholas said placing a hand on Raphael’s shoulder l
“What do you mean cleansed?” Ajax asked.“The system is out.”***The scientists left the room, leaving just Ajax and Nicholas.They had been there for some minutes alone.“How long before he awakens?” Ajax asked. He was beginning to get worried. Worried that Elena would be worried that he’s not back and also worried of her dad. Okay, that was too much worry in one sentence but yes, he felt that worried.“Give it a little more time.” Nicholas said. After some moments, Mr Thorne stirred up again.As soon as his eyes opened, he looked straight at Ajax. “You!” He sneered, eyes livid and feral. In that same split second, they look disappeared from his eyes as he stared at Ajax.Ajax could not understand the look in his eyes but Nicholas could.It was the look you give to a stranger you see in the same room with you when you just wake up in a hospital bed.“You…” he whispered as he stared at the both of them. “Who.. who are you? Wh.. Where am I?” His eyes flickered between the two of them
“You really do love me don’t you.” Nicholas said, eyes gleaming teasingly.“I hate you.” Ajax mumbled as he walked out of Nicholas’ office.“If you hated me you would not have saved my life.” Nicholas yelled after him.“I should have just let Mr Thorne finish you off.” Ajax said as he rolled his eyes while the door shut behind him. He could hear Nicholas cackles in the office.Ajax had started his internship at grey’s labs and Nicholas made it his life mission to rub it in his face that he, Ajax, loved him very much.Ajax regretted ever saving him.Sometimes, he asked himself why he saved Nicholas, his sworn enemy. He never seemed to know why.Actually, he knew in his subconscious but he was never going to agree to it. The spring term/ semester had resumed and Ajax had finally returned to school.He was nervous on his way back. He didn’t know how to face Raphael nor Elena.He felt nostalgic when he opened the door of his dorm. Raphael w
