Before Hermes would go further with the questions that perused his mind, he had to clarify a few things first. He needed an explanation for a few things that seemed like magic and were normally impossible.

"You can't be the only ones. Where are the others?" He asked, looking into the white curtain to detect if there was any random movements behind it. But it was as still as the surface of water, no movement, there were the only ones around.

"We live alone here for many years now. After everything happened, everyone decided it was better to lay low and get away from this world of evil. But the piercing blade of evil found its way past the walls we built, and now it has found us again." Sandra heaved a sigh as she said those words.

Where she stopped, her husband continued. "We chose not to have children. Because it has been proven time and again that in this world, the sins of the parents is atoned for in the lives of their children. From all indications, your parents did not share the

Sandra recalled vividly everything that occured back in those days, in her memories they all seemed like just yesterday.She was a good narrator, so much that Hermes could visualise her words and see them as images within the etches of his open eyes. As the story sank deeper, she took another seat, reaching out to Hermes's vision.Sandra became friends with Lyanna on her first day in high school. She was clearly a misfit from the first moment she stepped into the environment. She looked really lost and completely out of her settings.But starting from that golden moment when she saw another girl like her being bullied by a gang of vicious girls, she knew she had found her purpose that very second. That was the way she would fit in."Hey you birches!!!" She screamed a curse, breaking her first school rule within a few hours of resumption. She was also set to break her father's strict rule, for Diego had tol

    That was not the first time the predators would send someone after Andre and his family. Since the day he walked out in the great family, they had always tried to find him again and bring his family back into the fold. Several times they had sent assassins after him, trying to kill him off in the middle of darkness. But all that stopped many years ago when he faked his own death. Since then, there were no more signs of dark agents moving among the shadows with daggers in hand. Andre and his wife became safe, and that was when they birthed their children, Howard first and then Lyanna not long after. And for many years they remained safe, away from the eyes of the great family who thought he was long dead. But suddenly now, it seemed that the grrat family found them again.

    "So that was how my mother discovered the truth about the kind of man her father was." Hermes said in conclusion, heaving a sigh of thoughts. He pushed a glass of alcohol down his throat, digesting the story he had just heard.But that could not be the end of it. There were still a lot of things yet to be explained, a lot of questions yet to be answered. And he was right, the story was far from over. And Sandra was soon to continue.It turned out on that on that particular day, all those years ago, Sandra had been having suspicions the whole week. She thought someone had been peeping on them. But Lyanna would not believe it. Especially on the day that she forgot her book of combat at home, Sandra felt a very high sense telling her that something was not right. Twice they searched around the entire forests, but they found no one. In the end, Lyanna said that Sandra was just being oversensitive.The next day, she had the same feeling. This time, it was even stronger than the previous da

  • Herald of Vengeance   Gunshot

    Lyanna already conceived the weirdest thoughts about her father. He would not be a street thief, would he? She did not even have the courage to ask him what it was he was doing with those boys. She did not know what to expect. She did not know if there was anything else to expect, anything apart from what she had witnessed. Robbery, assault, were those the words that defined her father?Seeing him like that took all the breath from her, as well as her sense of reasoning. She could not think straight, neither could she hold herself together.In her misery and in her mystery, Sandra was the only one with her. The poor teenager who had no idea that she was the reason why all these had occured. She even thought herself a victim, since Andrew Henshaw liked Lyanna instead of herself.But if not for her presence and her friendship with Lyanna, none of this would have ever happened in the first place. And as grave as the situation seemed at the moment, it was nothing compared to what was to c

  • Herald of Vengeance   Against The Whole Of Them

    Sandra saw the lethal end of a gun pointed towards her friend. She would give anything to stop the bullet from ever leaving its place. From ever travelling through the air on its evil mission.But there was nothing she could do.The bullet travelled with the speed of lightning, crossing through the fine lines of cold air that stood in its way with the quickness of silver.It went straight to Lyanna's chest, piercing through the skin of someone's behind. The someone who had come out of nowhere to save Lyanna. Like a war shield against a rain of arrows, the someone held Lyanna in a tight hug, leaving his own back to deal with the incoming bullet."Woo!" Sandra gasped in both shock and gratitude, staring at the blood that oozed gently out of the someone who had come to save her friend.She wished she would have been the one to take the bullet for Lyanna, but she could not be too hard on herself when she realized that the person who took the shot was more connected to Lyanna that she cou

    While the men clashed with weapons, giving to the audience of trees around them a captivating show, a type of which they had never witnessed from the girls, Sandra was up to the wheels of a new mission. She sneaked up behind Lyanna and pulled her dress. "Let us go!" She said, ready to escape away from the site of that big mess."I can't go!" Lyanna protested. Her father was still there with the attacking predators. He was the only one fighting against their huge number, and it did not seem their number would go down easily. Also, she could not ignore the fact that Andre still had a bullet from the shot he had taken for her earlier.She could not bear to leave him behind when she knew he could possibly lose his life in that encounter. "No, I can't." She said again. But Sandra would not give up."It is the only thing we can do. I don't think they will stop until they kill him. Then they will come for you. You have to run now!"Lyanna took another look in her father's direction. He was

    Howard Swiss was in his room as he always was at times like this when the violent knocks came to their doorstep. He was aware of his sister's sudden absence from home, and he knew his father had gone out in search for her. He had started to fear for her absence, wishing that he had done some things he never did, and wishing he had never done somethings to her, never said somethings to her.Unsure of what was happening, Swiss took himself away from his mother again. He was not able to make her keep her cool, he himself could not stop thinking of the worst things that could happen. So he left her to herself while he kept to himself, locked within the four walls of his room.He rather focused his energy and thoughts on a food mystery project which he had not completed, and right when he was starting to get the neck of it was when the loud banging noises came from the main door."Who is it?" He could hear his mother flying towards the door in the bit of a second. Swiss thought it could b

  • Herald of Vengeance   First Unholy Alliance

    "Calling from the prime base"."I am quite busy right now. What is it?" Diego pulled the phone to his face, watching as Andre butchered some of his men, taking a huge cut with man that he cut down."There is a problem!" The caller announced."Problem? What problem?" Then Diego noticed another thing. "Who is this? Why are you whispering?""The Triad are taking over the empire. The leader has been killed." The voice shuddered, and in the middle of the speech it seemed to disappear into a faint, before coming back again towards its conclusion."What?" Diego found himself alarmed. The Triad were a group within the predators who were the three lowest families. They shared the same ideas and thoughts, saying that some families were being overly privileged, and that dues should be according to loyalty alone.One of their several examples was the fact that someone like Andre was given several second chances after breaking the rules of the predators. Someone from their own families would not b

  • Consulting Lyanna

    Lyanna was lying on her bed, slowly recovering from the old wounds."The doctor says you will be free to go in a few days."Beside her bed was Andrew Henshaw, comforting her to a good discharge. He had always been there for her in the absence of her father, more than her brother could ever even if he tried.Lyanna smiled back at him. He was such an angel, she thought."Andrew..." She muttered, craving his attention. "What is it..." He responded as soon as he lifted his head, seeing the look of displease spread across the lines of her face."I am sorry for what happened to your father..." She had always wanted to say that since the moment she discovered that her father and his friend were really the ones who had taken Henshaw's life back then. "I am sorry for everything my father did to your family..."He put a finger on her lips. "That is gone now. We are now here together. Friends. Together. Forever."His smile was enough to convince her to be happy. He was the best thing she had k

    "I am sorry about this. I will make sure to find him...""That boy stole my money. He walked into my house and stole my money!!" Albert Bradbury was in a rage as he recounted what Howard Smith had done. The boy had the guts to infiltrate into his home and escape with an extreme amount of money."There is nowhere he can go or run to. And there is nothing he can do with that amount of money. We will find him, and we will recover your money." Diego assured, still trying to calm down the anger of Bradbury.Adam Bradbury sat at a far corner of the living room. He was still in shock and horror over what happened the night before. The knife placed on his throat, threatening to slash through. He could feel the red sores which developed along the lines of his neck.Also in shock was Adam's mother, Stella Bradbury. She was also struggling to fully understand what had happened the night before. Worse, she could not understand what was happening right now. Who were these strange men? And why had

Albert was filled with smiles and laughter, clinking his glass cup with that of his family, recounting his success story to them both, hoping that his son would learn a few things and take inspiration from his achievements."A man who wants success must be ready to ignore all attachments. You have to keep an open eye, always on focus. Only then can you see the tiniest opportunities the very moment they appear." He schooled, smiling.Albert had sent away his bodyguards and protectors from the room. He just wanted to have an alone time with his family since that rarely ever happened in their life. He felt tonight should be a special night, but faith would have it, he could not have picked a worse day than that particular day.Howard Smith peeped from beneath the curtains.

    "The case today. Accused, Andre... No last name. Versus the state"."This man has committed a horrible crime against our nation, against me and you. A heinous transgression upon a loyal citizen is a heinous transgression against the whole of us. He does not even have a lawyer, and that goes to show you how evil he has been proven. You know.

In my opinion, he has already been condemned in the heart of the world, how balanced would it be if he were to be condemned by the hands of the law.""Mister Andre, after carefully considering the evidence put forward to the court and listening to the presentation of one lawyer, I believe this court has more than sufficient information to pass judgment on this case.""The court sentences Mister Andre to a long term of fifty years in prison.

  • Across the Sea, Behind the Cells

    "Where are you Andre, we are about to move". Guerrero said through the phone.Andre was just a few minutes left to the spot where they had agreed to meet. It was a seaside location, where illegal boats would usually set sail. Then the boat would travel a far distance up to the middle of the sea where a bigger ship would be waiting.Along with the passengers of the other smaller boats which had come from different part of the cities just for the same purpose of transmitting people in secret, the people in the boat would be drafted into the bigger ship and the boats would return to the seaside.This was also done at other parts of the world, in other countries. Each boat would know the right time to leave the seaside in order to meet the ship at the predetermined location, and Guerrero did not want to miss that time.Andre and his daughter were not the only person who were trying to leave Twillightoria. There were other people too, and unlike Andre who simply just asked for a favour, th

  • The Last Request

    "Welcome, my friend! It is really pleasure to see your old face once more. Is this your beautiful daughter? May I say she looks just like her mother? Too much, I tell you. Too much."Guerrero welcomed Andre with smiles and hugs. He seemed really glad to have the honour of saving Andre and helping him out of the country."Everything is set, my friend. The boat is ready, the sailors are waiting. All that remains is for you to step into the boat and set sail to freedom."Andre understood his words well, but he was no longer anxious to leave at this point."Diego and my son are still behind. We need to rescue them first, only then can I go anywhere."Guerrero frowned. "That does not make any sense, Andre. Diego knew what he was walking into when he decided to help you in your foolish mission. I am sure he wants you to leave now that you can, you do not want to get caught too. Now that would be too much a loss for anyone of us to bear. And your son? I heard news about your son. He seems to

  • The Ambush

    "I must say it is quite nice to see you again, Mr Andre. Anyone would have thought that the other day would be out last encounter." Richard Dengerberd said, holding a recording device up to his face, displaying it before Andre and kids present.Richard Dengerbard had been in there all along, waiting fkr Andre to come for his daughter. Andre thought he had died the other day with Minister Henshaw, but apparently he survived. He must have gotten to know of Andre's connection with the other day when Andre first visited the hospital.Then he was surely the one behind the police arrival. He was the one who informed the world of his existence and ruled out Scorpio's name as the one behind Henshaw's death.He had intentionally moved unconscious Lyanna into this VVIP room to serve as a bait for Andre. He had intentionally made himself her roommate, and he had recorded all the conversation between Andre, Howard and Andrew Henshaw."You must have thought that you escaped the law when you killed

  • Behind the Purple Veil

    There was no more tricks to devise. He was now surrounded by the security men who came closer to know if there was a problem."What is the issue here?" One said."Nothing is wrong agent," Andre assured. "We are just having a little discussion, right?"The look on the agent's face drifted from a neutral perspective into an alarmed expression as sudden as a lightening would strike during a storm."Get your hands in the air!!" He reached for his gun, screaming at Andre.Before he could pull out his weapon, Ande had attacked first.The entire place became riddled with combat. Andre alone against the rest of them.But he had no chance in that open place. When the guns started firing, he could barely put up a fight as he placed a dead agent in the way of the bullets.The door of the section was right there, the agents standing right before it as the agents were now focused on him. To get to the door, he needed to get through them first. That was impossible."Shit! There is no way I'm gettin

  • Infiltrate The Infirmary

    "I will go in myself and get her out." Andre proclaimed. "What?" That did not make sense and Diego could not allow it. "You cannot do that.""We don't have any other option.""Yes we do. I can get some of our men to do this.""No..." Andre refuted. "I don't want a collision with the security agency. The best way to do this is by a using one man to take out the children quietly.""They are trapped in that hospital because someone knows about us. Someone knows about you. Whoever it is, they are surely waiting for you to come. Even if we must do this, it does not have to be you." Diego expressed his concern fully. On normal days, Diego was not the kind of person who spoke with full words or who cared about other people's safety apart from his own true family. But his relationship with Andre was growing past the borders of partnership and once again looking like brothers, just like they were when they were younger. And just like their daughters were now."I will go." Diego volunteered,
