Butterflies fluttered in his stomach. Was he really about to have his first kiss?Charlene's heart pounded as Dalton's hot breath touched her nose. His brown lips were only inches away and she closed her eyes. And...*BEEP BEEP*Their watch started beeping and flashing red.***Melanie struggled with the two masked men holding her in Alexia's bedroom. One held her torso covering her mouth while the other man tried to tie her ankles with a rope.They had been struggling for almost fifteen minutes now. The men didn't think Melanie would be this strong.How did they end up like this?When Melanie entered the house, she spoke with Alexia about her pregnancy for some minutes. Alexia went to her room to get something and Melanie heard her scream. She rushed to her room only to be grabbed by these men and they've been struggling since.The man's grip was tight but Melanie still wriggled and struggled, making it difficult for them to tie her down. "Stay still, you." The man holding hissed an

After hearing the police siren, Patricia's face split into a sneer. "You are in so much trouble." She cleared her throat and screamed at the top of her voice. "Help. Somebody help, quickly. He wants to rape me." Brian realized the situation here. She was naked, he was hard and had a gun. He would seem like the guilty one. He quickly hid his gun inside his pants. The siren stopped wailing and silence fell upon the neighborhood. Patricia kept screaming, her voice now louder. "Somebody help quick. He has a gun." For some seconds nothing happened. Then, Brian heard footsteps approaching the door.The doorknob shook. "Help, quick." Patricia kept shouting. The knob shook violently. When the person probably discovered the door was locked, he or she started banging the door, each bang harder and louder than the last. Patricia's evil smile spread wider. *CRASH* The door crashed open hitting the wall. The top hinge broke, making the door bend. "Thank you. Thank you so...." Patri

Melanie woke up to the scent of iodoform. She closed her eyes immediately as a bright white light almost blinded her. Using her hands to block the light rays, she opened her eyes and blinked speedily to unblur her eyesight. She was in a room that almost looked like a hospital ward. The windows were closed, so the only source of light was the white light bulb. Almost everything in the ward was white including the walls, ceiling, bed she was lying on, the first aid box attached to the wall, and the white cupboard next to a white table that had a sterilizer on it. Melanie had no problem knowing which room she was in. It was Richard's mansion infirmary. She was dressed in a white patient gown. She touched her side and felt medical plasters covering her injury. Apart from a slight headache and a little pain from her injury, she seemed okay. The door opened as Brian and Charlene walked in to check on her. "Mel, thank goodness." Charlene beamed and bent towards her. "How are you feeli

They all gasped after Alexia's revelation."Gabe?" Brian said. "How was Gabe able to get it?""How am I supposed to know? Ask his girlfriend. Or you can ask him yourself." Alexa spat."Alexia..." Brian started to say but she cut him off."If you don't have anything interesting to say you can leave my ward."Brian shook his head. "Gosh, I can't believe you are still this spiteful even after everything that happened. I can sue you for sexual assault, you know.""Go ahead then. Sue me. My life is worthless now anyway."Brian sighed. "There was a better way to do this. You could have asked for help a better way and there are lots of people willing to help in a legal way, unlike Patricia. But you chose to commit a crime.""Just leave me alone." Alexia croaked and started sobbing."Alexia," Charlene said, feeling a tinge of sympathy for her. "It's not over. There are still people or organizations who can still help you.""I don't want anyone's help," Alexia stated adamantly."So what are yo

Finding Gabe's house wasn't a problem. They just had to ask Lana for it. Even though she wondered why they asked, she told them.So, that same Thursday, at night, Dalton parked a black Toyota Corolla near the building next to Gabe's house.Brian examined the neighborhood. The area was secluded from the highway so it was quiet. Only the chirping of crickets from the bushes could be heard. The neighborhood gave a haunted vibe."Good. Let's do this." Brian said.They emerged from the car. They were all dressed in black turtlenecks, black elastic pants, black boots, and black beanies. The black contrasted with the darkness, so it was difficult to spot them in the dark.Two Gray Guardians, which Brian brought to help, came out of the car behind them.Brian took the lead. He walked cautiously towards Gabe's bungalow front door. As expected, the front door was locked. Gabe and his friends weren't home.On the highway, they saw them leave with their new car. Their departure was Brian's clue t

"Another Disappearance Alert!!! Just last night, there was another disappearance. The victims this time are the beloved Thompson twins, Paul and Paulina. Civilians are beginning to question whether our city is safe..."The exact words from the news still played in Brian's head as he and Melanie moved to their next class after recess. "We saw him speaking with these twins, we found their pictures in his house and the next day they are missing?" Melanie was saying in a hushed voice. "Something is fishy."One doesn't need to be a big genius to know that.Brian nodded. "Yeah. Gabe is connected to their disappearance somehow. Explains why we found his picture in his house.""Being an illegal drug dealer is one thing, now a kidnapper? I know Gabe isn't a good guy but I didn't know he was bad to this extent."Brian merely shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not that surprised. Oh look, here he comes."Brian's statement was accompanied by giggles of ladies coming towards them. The ladies were four in n

That same day, at nine o'clock, the black Corolla parked in front of Gabe's house again with another car trailing behind. Once the car had been parked, they emerged from it. Just like the previous day, they were dressed in black turtlenecks, black jeans, black boots, and black beanies. It felt like a deja vu. But unlike the previous day, two Nightbirds and two Butterflies followed them this time, no Gray Guardians. The Butterflies were dressed in their uniform – an overall tight-fitting leather suit while the Nightbirds were dressed like the rest of them. Brian tried his best to avoid looking at their curvy bodies for too long. "You two, stay here and keep watch. Alert us if any emergency comes up." Brian ordered the two Nightbirds with authority, which they bowed to. They proceeded to the front door. Brian didn't bother checking whether anyone was home or not. If anyone was at home, it's not like they can do anything to stop them. Brian kicked the front door. The force snapped t

Gabe's head moved left and right as he stirred from his sleep. He felt his arms and legs being restricted by something. As his eyelids fluttered open, the memory of what happened last played in his head. The last thing he remembered was arriving and seeing his front door open. Then he saw the silhouette of someone come closer to his car and something pricked into his neck, making him unconscious. And he ended up here. Everything was a blur when his eyes opened so he blinked speedily. When his sight, cleared, he was taken aback by the first person he saw. "Brian?" Brian smirked. "Did you sleep well?" Gabe looked around and noticed the people behind him. Judging from their body, shape there were four females and one male. They all wore black nose masks but Gabe could swear two of them almost resembled Melanie and Charlene. Gabe tried to move but was restricted again. He looked at his arms. His wrist and ankle were tied to the arms and legs of a wooden chair respectively. Beside

"SURPRISE." Brian's heart skipped as applause and cheers filled his ears. He blinked repeatedly and looked. The living room was crowded with a lot of people, at least two dozen and they were all clapping and cheering. Edward and Rosanna stood in front of them with smiles on their face. Conan was behind them, grinning. About two dozen of Nightbirds, Gray Guardians, and Butterflies also filled the room. Brian looks around. There was a line of flag pennants attached to the ceiling, together with flags with letters forming the word, "Happy Coronation." "Welcome home, honey." Rosanna stepped forward and hugged Brian. "I...you guys didn't have to throw a welcome home party for me," Brian said after they separated. "This is not a welcome home party, silly." Rosanna laughed softly. "What is it then?" Edward stepped forward to explain. "Well, it's the tradition of the Addams to celebrate the heir of the family on their eighteenth birthday. Kinda like an heir coronation. But with the gi

Brian became dumbstruck after Lana dropped the bombshell. Charlene's mouth hung open, Melanie covered hers while Dalton was the one who spoke in astonishment. "She's-what now?" "The person that called said she tried to carry out an abortion, but...it..." Tears streamed out of her eyes. Brian didn't need the complete statement to understand. His ex-girlfriend was dead. Alexia Baker was gone from this world forever. Brian exhaled deeply. Perhaps, if he was still dating her he would have burst into tears and rushed to the hospital like an insane person to hug her corpse and cry harder. But he didn't do that. His sadness for her death wasn't overwhelming. She wasn't worth his tears. But that didn't mean he wanted her dead. Alexia, just like Patricia, did horrible things but they didn't deserve death. They could have changed their ways and lived better. "I told her not to do it. This is all my fault." Lana continued crying, refusing to wipe her cheeks which were wet with tears. "

"Nebula news. Just last night, the kidnappers responsible for the disappearances going on in our city were caught and abducted. The victims were unharmed and saved. And sources tell us this was possible only because of a young man called Brian Ashton..."Brian could still remember the news as he was seated in the middle row of seats in the Dolly Hall.Just as he thought, the news about Brian saving the victims spread like wildfire that in three weeks, Brian was like a celebrity in the city.All the victims were returned to their families after being checked on in the hospital. Brian received a lot of thank-you messages from them on social media. Brian couldn't be happier.The children in Richard's mansion were also returned to their families. And what more?Brian snitched on Gabe and his friends about his connection with the kidnaps and his drug dealing. They were now in the police station, preparing for his verdict.These last few days were nice. Students now treated Brian like a cel

"He escaped." Dalton completed. "What? How?" Brian exclaimed. "We tried holding him but some guards came to his rescue. We were outnumbered." Melanie explained. Brian curled his fist. He should have sent some men to help them. But then, he wasn't expecting them to be outnumbered. "Did you see anyone with dreadlock run this way?" Brian asked Arata. Arata shook his head. "We guarded here heavily. No one left or entered." Brian's brows furrowed. How did Raymond escape? Was there some kind of secret passageway or tunnel in the house? Melanie let out a weak gasp and winced. The pain on her side was getting intense. Brian returned his attention to her and stared at her side. She seemed to have been stabbed where she was stabbed previously at Alexia's place. She needed treatment immediately. Just then, a deep voice boomed, causing Brian to jump a bit. "FREEZE." Brian turned. Blood drained from his face at what he saw. Several men barged into the compound. They were all armed

"You are not the only one with a bullet vest here." Miss Claudine cackled and pointed her black pistol at him again. "You are all dead meat."Before she could pull the trigger, Dalton moved and kicked her hand. Her gun skidded from her hand and she yelped."You must have forgotten you are outnumbered," Dalton said. "No one is dead meat except you."Miss Claudine straightened up."It's over." Brian raised his gun at her. A gunshot was heard in the hallway, causing Brian to turn. Two guards lay on the ground meters from them. They were shot by the Nightbirds.Raymond took advantage of the distraction. He grabbed Melanie's hand and twisted it.Melanie winced in pain and left her gun. Then, Raymond delivered a kick on her abdomen which propelled her towards Brian. As Brain caught her, he and Miss Claudine took off in the direction of the stairwell. Dalton raised his hand to shoot but they started moving in a zigzag manner making it difficult for Dalton to target. They entered the stairw

Brian's heartbeat increased its rate as he glanced at the guards pointing their guns at them as if they prepared for this moment their whole life. Melanie and their others stood in the same state of shock as Brian. The guards were about ten in number. Some of the guards stepped forward and took their guns, leaving them with no means to defend themselves. "Awn, sweet Brian thought his plan would work. Haha." Miss Claudine cackled maniacally. "But we were already one step ahead." Brian gritted his teeth at the sight of his Business Law teacher. Nothing had changed about her except that she was wearing a black shirt and black leather jeans, something he thought he would never see her wear. Her dimples, which once gave her a nice look, now made her look sinister with the wicked grin. "Long time no see." Raymond chirped in. Brian glared at him. Raymond also wore black like everyone else and for the first time, Brian saw Raymond without his earrings or chains. His dreadlocks dangled on

Conan tapped a button on the control unit of the kit after Brian's order and sent the command to the transmitter. Instantly, the lights went off and the area was covered in darkness. Brian tapped the button by his glasses and jumped out. He started seeing in radioactive green through the glasses. He moved towards the fence with the others. Just like they planned, the Nightbirds stood on the shoulders of the Gray Guardians. The Guardians stood up, lifting the Nightbirds to touch the electric wire.Since the power supply had been disrupted, they were able to touch the wire without being electrocuted. They snapped the wire quietly with wire cutters. Still on the Guardian's shoulders, they shot all the guards they found in the compound. As if fate was on their side, the cloud had covered the full moon, so the darkness thickened a bit.After they'd shot the guards, they indicated to the guardians that the coast was clear by tapping their feet on their shoulders.The Guardians lifted the

The black Sienna drove through the road in the forest. The headlights were dimmed to avoid easy spotting so Dalton had to drive carefully because of the limited light. Luckily, the full moon helped with some illumination. Some meters behind, two black minivans, in which Richard, Sasha, and the rest of the men and women were in, trailed behind. For some reason unknown to Brian, the cars made little noise as they moved. The laptop stood on the middle of the car dashboard. They were following the dot on the map which was still moving on the water as represented on the map. There was another dot on the map. It was a blue dot that represented them, enabling them to know how far they were from the kidnappers. The two dots were meters apart, the red dot being by the right and ahead of the blue one. Brian's uneasiness came back for a moment but he shoved it aside. He had started this already, so there was no point being negative. "Will our gas be enough for the whole journey?" Brian inq

Brian watched in amazement as a Nightbird, whose name was Killian (he was apparently the best voice imitator and actor they had), put on a Mohawk wig that resembled Gabe's hair. His face had already been covered with makeup, giving him Gabe's complexion. His eyes were covered with contact lenses, giving him Gabe's blue eyes color. "Wow, this is impressive work," Brian said to Sasha was just finishing applying the makeup. She bowed and smiled. "Thank you." "Now for the voice part. How's it going?" Killian took out his earpiece with which he had been listening to Gabe's voice. "How's this?" He cleared his throat and changed his facial expression to an angry one. He looked just like Gabe. "Hey, dude. What the hell are you doing?" He spoke in a voice that almost sounded like Gabe's if not for the deepness and pitch. Brian nodded again, impressed with what he witnessed. "Wow. How did you do that?" "Well, I've been listening to his voice since today so I studied his speech tone an
