Cathy Cole Ricardo stopped in front of the house she left as a teenager running for her life. She had just witness the killing of her parents. Eliza Markovich stood looking at her with absolutely pleasure. Her words still ringing in her memory even today..."I did this for you baby girl. Now you are going to be mine forever."She shudders from that words still haunting her. She really don't understand the woman's obsersion with her. She looked down memory lane. The note her beloved daddy left her still chills her to the bone. She tried her best to live up to his final request."Hello..." The man suddenly stood beside her car. She was surprise since she didn't noticed his arrival. She turned to look at him her expression puzzled. The man stood looking down her revealing bosom. She had forgotten that she had dressed provocatively with the intent of annoying Daniel."Hello..."she said softly. "Did I do something wrong sir""No but this is private property.""I know."she smiled again. "I
"Denver would you mind coming with me. I want to show you something I don't completely understand." Joslin looked at him. Then at the other two. "If you don't mind Raven?""It's okay. The detective and I will do I run the way the children had escape.""You know how to find me Raven." Denver kissed her briefly before following his sister.Joslin looked at his bum appearance but decide to go with the flow. She walked around the mansion towards the garage. "I was the one who choose most of the cars but I left my University Jeep here.""It's okay. I don't have issues about following a girl." he smirk sheepishly. It didn't take them long before driving into traffic. Joslin drove a long time. "Where are we going?""One day I decided to follow our mother. We had a nasty fight because I entered a bedroom that was off-limit since I could remember. I wanted to apologize but she pushed me out of the way with tears in her eyes.""Really? She don't strike me the crying type." Denver looked around
"Denver..." "I am here Joslin."Both tried to see each other in the darkness that felt it was suffocating them."What happened?" She can still picture their father at the top of the stairs after he pushed them down. She knew growing up her family was weird but now to actively trying to kill them, this was new."I am not sure. I think we stumbled into something. I hope my family is okay?""I don't think anyone knows we are missing yet. Or what do you think?"The bright lights suddenly switch on. They quickly covered their eyes."What do you think doctor?" Eliza Markovich looked at the serious man."Only he seemed to have the defected gene. I am going to run more test. Let them take blood samples.""As you wish." Eliza didn't even looked their way. She seemed different than the sleeze they know her to be.Denver has opened his eyes. He realized he was naked in tube-like cylinder. He turned his head seeing his sister in the same state of capture."Hey you." he called the doctor.The man
Denver managed to get out of the lock locker. He quickly search for clothes to pull on. With his oversize outfit a some stolen bank cards with enough actual money he slipped away and disappeared...Raven was losing weight with missing her children who seemed to have just vanished. She also knows Cathy Ricardo was watching her like a hawk. It sometimes felt like she was waiting to see her next move.Joslin slowly stood from the couch where she had been sitting motionless. Her body was aching from some form of punishment she don't remember. She also felt very thirsty. She feels hestitant to drink the water close to her on the table.Denver senior stood on the balcony looking at rising sun. He feels like he had lost track of his family. Everyone seem to be doing his own thing. He hates feeling this...old...Daniel slowly woke in bed. He was surprise when he found an arm across his chest. He moved into a sitting position watching the head turn his way."Cathy..." he said sharply."Morning
"Leave my children alone." Denver tried getting past the people blocking him. He start to kick and hit people finding it surprising that there were so many of them.Ariel laughed throwing more money before going around the building. Once she was out of sight she orders Bella to hurry. They walked past her building heeding for her car. She just found the jackpot."Where are we going Ariel?""Just follow me. We hit the lotto." She placed the unconcious boy in the boot of the car."Keep them separate. They are fire together." Bella climbed in the back with the little girl.They disappeared by the time Denver managed to get out of that hellish alley. The were no trace of them as the street was empty"Fuck this. " he screamed.Billy-Bob and his crew out trolling the streets spotted him jumping up and down. "Try catching him."Aiden Cole said. He had been out of the country looking for ammunition against his bitch of a sister.Denver heard the fast approaching vehicle. He looked up. "Shit fu
The birds flew all over the castle like place. There seemed to hang a thick mistiness all over the place.Ariel stood patiently waiting just looking. She was aware of the others being restless. Once they enters in there they will learn what it means being patient.The door finally cracked opened. The person that step outside looks breath-takingly handsome. On his left shoulder sits a black raven and on the right a white dove. He slowly step down towards them but his focus wasn't on returning Ariel. He walked directly to the back of the car."Open," he orders .Ariel quickly move to open the boot.Leo looked up from where he lay in waiting. The man hold out his hand. The boy gives him a look full of challenge."I like you. I can sense what's been done to you. Get out I want to play a game." The man stood aside. It took a moment before he felt another surge of power. He quickly looks around. "How did I missed you." he quickly reach to open the back door holding his hand out to Lea. She
Denver senior stood watching the progress on the girl who had the audacity to bring life into the world without his permission. He handed the crazy doctor a specific script in how he should treat the girl…I am woman. I am warrior. You can call me by my name. I am who I am. I can go wherever I want. I have no ties that bind… she keeps repeating the words.Raven Dark looked into the distorted mirror. She tell herself she is a woman, lost, angry and afraid, with fragmented images of blood streaming down faces. She tried with piercing looking into the depths of the mirror, searching for that mirrored images, wanting answers. But she only found hollowed eyes. She wants to cry but mustn’t.The reflection casting back at her suddenly changed format. Now she can actually feel and taste her fear. She realized her feet were running fast down a darkened road. She tried stopping but the urgency of wanting to know what lies at the end propelled her forward.I am woman. I am warrior. You can call
“Find us mommy…” Her fingers dig into the rock she was laying on. Her body grows tense with the urge to fight. “Where are you?” she mumbles. The wind blows eerily through her mind. Then she hears somewhere the splashing of water. “I am sinking. Why are they following us?” the little voices said collectively. “Where are you? I am coming.” Raven try waking up when her mind was pulled again listening…The sound was familiar. The drums are beating… The drums are calling… The drums are alluring… The drums are warning about the impending danger. “How is it possible that this woman can be a warrior?” The question blow around in the wind. The man’s voice that of a stranger she don’t recognized. “I have been modifying on her for years. She will be the perfect weapon of distraction.” McAllen assured Denver senior. Raven opened his eyes but without moving a muscle she listened intently. Minutes ticked by and she find the coldness coiling through her veins but still she kept her pati
Denver and Raven looked at the older woman. It was clear they need to convince her they are honorable in their intent.“What do you need to know that would convinced you to help us” Denver asked reaching for Raven’s hand.“Who are you really?” she asked flatly.“My name is Denver Ricardo. I always thought I was a certain type of person. Then there was suddenly these people entering my life. I am very wealthy. I understand you are the guardian of lost people. I can help you with immediate effect.”“No one can truly leave this city. I have tried.” Moon Dark said sounding anxious in remembering.”“This town was built on lies and deceit. Just like you I want to leave but I want my whole family. Please help us.”“Mother, I promise the girl will be safe. My son has already plotted the perfect escape. We can take you all along but at first, we need the girl.”“Hello, you fools?” McAllen giggles when he noticed the collective was looking at him.“McAllen, name your price.” Vincent Saint-Clair
Ricardo Saint-Claire was alive with various activities. Knowing what to do, they walked aimlessly around waiting for the correct moment. Their eyes and attention was sharply focused. These actions will tell if they will survive as a family,Raven just allowed people to carry her forward. At the end of the street, she found herself alone. She knew Denver has blend into the background.Then suddenly a crowd of people mingled past her. The side alley men was checking her out but she didn’t pay them much attention.“Follow me,” one of the man suddenly whispered.“Excuse me!” Startled she looked around. Amongst the crowd of people only strangers, intently she searched with her eyes. She catches sight of a woman who definitely appeared to look like she was focused on her. She wonders why the woman seemed familiar.The core of her instinct tells her she was the one that has spoken. The woman was at the end of another street, looking straight at her, waiting for her to follow.“Who are you? A
Two years...Denver and Raven walked towards the Hotel Ricardo Saint-Claire. They both has a hard look about them. Since the abduction of their children; they had becone the errand boys for one crazy man.Denver hold tightly onto the briefcase. He briefly looked at Raven. They no longer feel the need to talk. Both found a way to connect with each other."Hello sir. I have reserved the room for you." The hotel manager eagerly walked ahead of them. Once they reach the private room the man unlocked the door."I will be waiting just outside sir."Denver only nods his head before stepping inside. Raven followed and closed the door behind them."What took you so long?" McAllen who was in constant contact with them through computers looked very displeased.Denver said nothing but just opened and placed the briefcase infront of the computer. He looked at the man who can't seem to control his giggling."You have done well. Okay asked that fool just outside the door to bring it to me. It's goin
"Where is the other man?" Denver repeat his question."He is sleeping permanently." Aiden said gleefully."Okay."Denver carefully avoid looking at Raven."Sit down Aiden. I want to finish. Since the whole structure was drastically change; I want to know my truth. Hopefully we won't be seeing each other ever again." Vincent said icy.Aiden makes sure Raven sits down beside him. He suddenly realized he was learning their truths which will also expose his own dealings. He lookef at the man who he was let to believe was his nephew. This whole story was a mess. Each road only seemed to broken down ahead before starting a new path."Are you all ready?" Vincent has his hand close to the palm reader.Ever one just nods there head.Denver moved to place his hand down first. Raven quickly followed before either Vincent or Aiden could move.Once the final four men joined Denver smiled."Are you ready son?""Yes daddy." "What's going on?" Vincent was alarmed. It was clear he was no longer in con
"Leo what's happening? I was cut from the line." Raven asked urgently. They promised to work as a team. She refuse to lost Denver again."We will send you the feed mommy."Raven can feel in her body something swift in the air. She start to circle the upstairs bedroom. She had managed to slip in there when she followed the man that looked like her dead father in law."Leo...""Be careful mommy. We senses an intruder.""Is it here in the mansion or with you?" Raven sounded worried."We are protected mommy." Lea explained.Raven suddenly become quiet. She carefully looked around in the bedroom. It had belonged to Cathy Cole Ricardo when she was a teenager.While looking for a way to protect herself; she had found the girl's crawl space. Without waiting for confirmation about the intruder; she start to move.Aiden Cole slipped from the room. It had taken careful reaching before Vincent managed to stop the order. He knew the Saint-Claire family had more dark secrets but he was very curious
"Six months...six days and six hours." Denver talked into his microphone."I am also in position." answered Raven. " I have eyes on the twins.""That is good. I am going to approach the mansion now.""Be careful. We don't know what trap she might have set. ""I know. That's one devious woman." Denver looked at the estate across from where he stood. He has been keeping a sharp eye on that building. He looked at his outfit. Dressed smartly in the most expensive suit he could find on short noticed. He check his mental state...once he thought himself a loser and a fool. But he had discovered there was more than one type of truth.He walked back towards his car and climbed inside. He discovered his children was smart and just as devious. His son; Leo had told him to blend into the background. He feels proud wearing the suit he had picked and ordered. The black sport car was also his idea.Once he started the car it simmers into visibility. While he was being transported back to his past to
"Denver; open your eyes." the voice calls beside him. He looked puzzled trying to see who was calling him. It was clear the fool didn't realized his eyes was opened.He tries to get loose from the shackles but it took a moment before he understood his body was in reality motionless."Will you focus." the male voice said behind him."Where are you?" he forced his lips to move."I am behind you.""Why don't you help me?" He asked with growing frustration."I already helped you. This you must do on your own. You don't focus. Look around you.""I am." he said annoyed."No you are not. Look around. You are not tied to that wall.""Danny..." he heard his name.Denver moved his body. He nearly fell flat on his face before he understood he was free with movement. He quickly looked around until he saw her."Lisa..." he kneel beside her naked body. She feels cold and it was clear the sexual damage that was done to her body."I don't want to live anymore. " she whispered brokenly."What do you w
Denver stood looking at the girl he always thought was the most beautiful girl in the world. He briefly looked at his hand. The throbbing was less intense. He quietly wonders if he had worn the ring earlier; might he was noticed what was really gling on. He knows the girl in front of him will also disappear since he had watch her leave this world."Danny..." Lisa stood looking over the lake. The water was calm."Why did you ask me to come here? It's not like we move in the same social circles.""Please...don't judge me with who I am friends with." She still looked away from him.Denver decided to be quiet. He knows he was walking in the footsteps of the past. His reality and her current one was different. He stood beside her waiting until she was ready to talk."You are Denver Ricardo. That's your true name?" she questions sounding uncertain."What a curious way to ask me. You know that's my name.""I am just making sure. I heard a urban myth telling a story about your name." She fina
Denver placed his open palm on the palm reader. He watched Raven following him. The twins joined hands placing theirs on the palm reader. The monitors seemed to pulled them into a kind of vortex. They saw each other being pulled into different directions. It was quickly clear tthat no one has a choice. Denver suddenly made his appearance in the house on Rumble's Corner. He found himself standing in front of the door. He knew he just need to step through back into his past. He looked back but the only thing he noticed was the curtains moving from the house just across from his."Why are you just standing there boy?" His father suddenly stood in the now opened door. He looked displeased."I am coming." he looked back. Everything seemed the same but it's not. Taking a deep breath. "Might as well find out what this was all about." he told himself."Where have you been Denver," Daniel Ricardo looked very annoyed. "I am sorry. But why are you angry?""You really dare to ask me that quest
