"Where is she!" Tiana screamed the house down in search of her daughter."Ma'am, is everything okay?" Scarlet, their housekeeper of over ten years, hurried from the kitchen, to answer Tiana."Where is Rhonda? Where is she!" "I'm here mum. Why the screams?" Rhonda asked, coming down the stairs."Why the screams?" She raised her head, her voice filled with anger. "I'm just coming from my visit to Nathan Luxe. Imagine my surprise when I found out he was ready to be discharged, but couldn't leave because his son was brought in a state of emergency.""Okay? What does any of that have to do with me?" She said, walking over to her mother."Don't get silly with me Rhonda. Kingston told me it wasn't thugs that attacked him. He said your swine of an ex did that to him, and you stood there encouraging him to hit!" “How could you do that Rhonda? How could you!""Enough mum! If you knew what Kingston said to me, you wouldn't be feeling sorry for him.""What could he have possibly said t

"Was it someone you knew ---" Tobias' voice trailed when he raised his head and saw Cleo, instead of Elijah he had expected."Finally, I see you in person." She threw a wink and walked over to the table where the meal had been served."Your bags are in a room upstairs in case you're wondering," Elijah said, walking in on Tobias with his mouth wide open."She's so hot!" Snow said, half his mouth occupied by a bone."You won't be the first, or last to say that, Doggy." She turned her face, throwing him a wink.The bone fell off his mouth, as his tail wagged with excitement. "Finally! Another person who can hear me." He said in jubilation."Wait, I thought you asked me not to call you Doggy?" Elijah said, sitting beside Cleo."What? Me? When did I ever say that?" "Leave the dog alone Elijah. He's so cute." Cleo smiled."You heard that Elijah? I'm so cute." He raised his paws to prove just how cute he was.Elijah rolled his eyes and faced forward. He blinked in surprise when he

The loud voices coming from the living room to Elijah's room woke him up. He almost smothered himself with a pillow, regretting why he invited so many people to his house. It was just Cleo and Tobias. Three if you counted Snow. Still, it felt like he was living in a barrack with all that noise.Dragging himself out of bed, he proceeded into the bathroom for a quick shower. By the time he stepped out, his headache had drastically reduced. He walked over to his closet with his towel tied securely around his waist. Suddenly, his door pushed open, and Cleo in a robe came in. "Rise and shine Angel!" She said in a singsong voice, holding two mugs in her hand."What are you doing barging into my room, just like that!" He howled in annoyance.She whistled, giving him a quick once over. "This is quite the sight?" She said, throwing him a wink."I'm not in the mood Cleo. It's too early for your shenanigans." He hissed, turning his back to her."Well, you better snap out of that fowl mo

Elijah comes out of his room to see both Cleo and Tobias waiting for him. "Wait, you were serious about driving you?" He asked, his face already squeezing into a frown."Let's go Elijah." Cleo walked away, ignoring his question.His face scrunched as he watched her leave, but when he turned to Tobias, the clown had a dazed expression on his face."Get a hold of yourself, man!" He shook his head."I know right? I'm not even that thirsty." Snow said, appearing from nowhere."Man, she's so hot!" Tobias said."You know what else is hot? My fist if you don't keep it moving." Elijah hissed and stormed out."Why's he always in a foul mood?" Tobias muttered, following after him."Maybe it's because someone, read Winnie Carter is being hard on him." Snow wags his tail, returning to where he came from."Quantum City is so much brighter than Tokyo." Cleo sighed, reclining into the backseat chair."Right?" Elijah said from the wheel."Yeah. There's such a dark cloud hovering in Tokyo. Per

"You're a good man Howie," Elijah said as the big man led him towards Kingston's room. "You even saved your friend from a beating. How kind of you." He stetched his hands to pat the man's shoulder, but he flinched in fright."What? I'm not going to hurt you. We're friends now right?" He raised a quizzical brow."Su--re." He stuttered."Good. I'll take it from here." He said, offering him a genuine smile.He had barely completed his words when Howie turned around, and hurried away. He chuckled at the sight the giant of a man presented, running from someone who was considerably smaller than him. Suddenly, he felt a little bit of pity for him. His eyes went to his boots and he shrugged. "Didn't think you were that hard to be honest."But when his eyes returned to the door that separated him from the person he truly wanted to hurt, it darkened. "Bastard." He cursed silently, pushing it open."Dr Hill? Is that you?" Kingston straightened into a sitting position. He was ready t

"Hey Kingston, are you awake?" Elijah turned to Kingston who groaned in pain on the bed. Walking over to him, he reached out to cover his mouth but suddenly paused."Fuck it." He muttered.Kingston tried to speak, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was silent air. He fell, with his back to the bed, and his hands on his aching stomach. Tears rushed down his face, from not only the physical pain but the shame he felt.Confidently, Elijah walked to the door and pulled it open. "Elijah?" Dr Hill's brow furrowed as he stared at him."I was just leaving." He said, and walked past him."Wait, Eli---"He stopped when he spotted Kingston writhing in pain from the corner of his eyes. "Oh shit!" He sighed, rushing over to his side.Elijah walked straight past the guards who were all gathered together, as opposed to earlier, when they were spread apart. He caught Howie's eyes, and the big man quickly put his head down. Elijah chuckled, waving him goodbye.Back in the lobby, he

By the time Elijah arrived at the laboratory, he was completely exhausted. Between kicking Kingston's ass, and that torturous conversation with Colin, he was ready to call it a day. But as his car rolled into the compound, his eyes caught the van in front of him.Two men in uniforms that looked very much like police uniforms stood side by side, observing the warehouse. They acted like they had not just heard the sound of his car."Not another problem please." He sighed, alighting from his car.The moment his legs dropped to the ground, both officers were by his side. "Good evening son. I'm Officer Melbourne." The older one who looked just happy to be there stretched out his hand.The younger one eyes him and pushes his hands away. "Whatchu doing here Mr?""Elijah." He said."You didn't answer my question." He continued, his chest puffed out."Don't be rude." The nice officer Melbourne said under his breath, but his words fell on deaf ears."I'm here to check out the warehous

"erhmmm--- No, not really." Jack stuttered."It's just standard procedure," Melbourne explained."Oh, I understand you. The warehouse has been abandoned for quite a while right? Considering the area it's located too. Trust me," She allowed her fingers to settle on Jack's sleeve. The cop's naked eye shone with delight. "My husband and I have wanted to sell it for quite some time now. But we had to leave the city for a while. You know how business goes. Right honey?" With her hands still on Jack's sleeve, she moved her head towards Tobias.Elijah was well and truly entertained. Now he knew what an excellent actress Cleo was, his life was about to become ten times easier."Yes, love. We're going to sell now." He said, the enthusiasm in his voice not matching his eyes as he stared at Cleo's hands on Jack."So can we please leave now officer?" She pouted, and with her free hands, twisted a lock of her hair as she bounced from toe to toe."I think ----""Yes, you can. You can go any

A crowd gathered at the streets of Quantum City to watch the elites light up the place.They were all grateful to have been invited to the fundraising of Colin Trust. It was rare to be invited to these events, or that the events were even held in public.Amongst the people in that crowd weird Cleo and Tobias.Tobias was waiting for the signal he needed before he did what he prepared to do. As he turned his head around, he came face to face with Laura Anderson.She drew closer, and stopped in front of him. “The least you could do was answer my calls, you know? My mother was dying in the hospital, and I needed your help. I know about everything done to Elijah, so you can't even use that as an excuse. I just needed to talk to someone,” she said, tears in her eyes.Cleo was ready to go off when she turned and saw Laura Anderson. “You're the one that has a crush on my boyfriend,” she said before Tobias could respond.Laura painfully tore her gaze from Tobias, and turned to Cleo. “So you're

Lexington knocked at Elijah's door at seven in the evening, and the door was immediately opened by Cleo.“Hey, you came,” she said, stepping aside so he could go through.He found Tobias, and the god in the living room, but Winnie was nowhere to be found.“Where's Winnie?” He asked.“What do you mean, where's Winnie? Isn't she supposed to be with you?” Tobias asked.“No. She texted that she would be spending the night here, and I told her I'd pick her up for the fundraiser this evening,” he replied.“Are you sure? Because I'm pretty certain she received a call from you shortly after you left, and zapotec out to receive it.”“Wait a second,” Lexington took a step forward. “You're trying to tell me you haven't heard from her since she stepped out to receive a call?”“She said you wanted to speak to her. When we heard her car drive away, we assumed she was going to meet up with you,” but as Cleo said it, she began to realise the situation was not as straightforward as it seemed.Lexingto

“Leave me alone. Just go away,” Elijah muttered over and over again, as he scraped the walls of his cell with his fingers.It had gotten dark, and everytime it was dark, the voices got louder and more menacing.“Elijah?!” The most off-putting of all the voices sounded.He knew who he belonged to, but he couldn't quite place it. His mind was too disorganised.“Leave me alone,” he begged.“Why? You don't want to be reminded of your sins? I thought you were a self righteous prick!”“I didn't do it,” he shook his head continuously. “I didn't. An accident. She did it. She caused it.”Darius laughed. “But no one that matters knows. In the papers, you're a murderer. You need to see the paper stands, and the news on the city's projector screens. They're all carrying your face and your crime. Maybe you should have publicised your healing abilities. If you had, the, would have been more inclined to support you.” he laughed maniacally.“I'm innocent. I'm innocent,” Elijah repeated.The more he s

“You're a murderer! A monster. You've claimed you save lives. You claim you can't fight the urge to be a messiah to ailing people. Look at you now. A murderer!”“Leave me alone! Leave me!” Elijah closed his ears, and dropped to the ground in a ball.He rolled from one end of the room to the other, trying to wade off the voices in his head.Still, they didn't relent. The more he tried to keep them away, the more they laughed and mocked him.“Do you know how many people you killed?” Another baritone voice began in a singsong tone.“Not one,” one shrieked.“Not even two,” another thundered.“Not five either,” a third chirped.“So many!” The first voice screamed and broke into a feat of laughter.“No, I didn't mean to. It was a mistake. A setup. Please. Mercy!” He begged, and cried.“No, you did! You put on the ring when you knew how blood thirsty it was. You wanted this. Craved it, because deep down, you're truly a monster!”“No I'm not!” He screamed back.“Yes you are!”“No I'm not!”“Y

They were driving along the highway when Avery turned on the radio and began to sing along to the music being played.“You haven't changed that much,” he said, as she sang.Despite the volume turned all the way up, she could hear him clearly.“It's the curse of being a star, my darling.” She continued singing loudly, pulling a head shake out of his head.He didn't care what she chose to do. The only thing he was happy about was the fact he had managed to get the sixth herb. Despite every setback be had to face, it was just the remaining two left.His thoughts became bothered as he wondered what they were going to be. He assumed if he hadn't seen it yet, it was because of how life threatening they were bound to be.He didn't care though. No matter what it was, he planned on doing it just to see his mother up and about again.She had spent so much time being unconscious, she probably didn't know how the world worked anymore.“Why aren't you singing? You just achieved a major feat. You s

Avery shot forward, and dropped to the ground beside him.“Elijah!” She smacked his chest.“Move!” He screamed at her. “It's just the ring. It's trying to control me,” he explained.“Oh,” she looked reluctant to leave him alone, nervously twisting her head from side to side. “Is there something I can do to help you out? Tell me, and I'll do it,” she asked desperately.“Just move, Avery. Move please,” he pleaded.“Okay,” she rose to her feet. “But I'm not moving far away. Just in case you need my help.”He sighed and rose to his feet. She was stubborn, but it was understandable. She just wanted to help.“You listen to me,” he spoke through his bringing the ring to his face. “You're not going to keep doing whatever the fuck you want to do. I'm going to get that herb, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it!” With every word he spoke, his tone grew higher and higher, until the veins on his forehead formed a poll of creasing mass.With a determined stride, he pushed forward an

Elijah drove to a stop in front of the Trusts mansion.“There's a way we can play this off without alerting Colin's boys. But if you want to go the badass route, then we can just walk in.”“What way?” Elijah asked, his trouble sensing tingling.“With your tongue shoved down my throat. They'd think we're in heat and just want to make love. Without any questions asked, they would open the door and let us in.”“No!” He said, immediately she was done.“Okay, Mr God. Chill with the outburst. It was only a suggestion. It's either that, or we go in together. If we do, there's a chance one of them might recognize you and report back to Colin. Are you willing to risk that?”“I'm already here. I don't care if anyone recognizes me or not. All I want to do is get in there, take the herb, and get out.”“You say it like it's that easy,” she said, withdrawing her legs from the dashboard. “Doesn't it take a whole process? Or are you willing to risk the ring working against you?”“The ring feeds on vi

“We will have to return to the exhibition one after the other, though. Just follow my lead,” Winnie said.Elijah blinked multiple times as he tried to wrap his mind around Winnie’s enthusiasm. She had the biggest smile on her face, as if she had been waiting for this day all her life.“Are you ready?” she lifted her head, her gaze darting between Elijah and Avery.“I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to do. But I’m bored and down for anything, so let’s do it.” Avery shrugged. “That’s the spirit!” she pumped her fist, then turned to Elijah. “You?” she asked, eyeing him gently as she waited for his response.“Do I have a choice?”“No!” Both Avery and Winnie screamed in unison.“Fine.” He threw his hands into the air in surrender. They stood aside, as Winnie stomped her foot on the ground twice before storming towards the exhibition room.“It’s not just me, right? She’s really enjoying this.” Elijah observed out loud.“Yeah buddy. You got yourself a show girl. In other words, a dra

Elijah thought about it for all but twenty seconds before he shook his head, rejecting the idea. “No. I absolutely cannot use Winnie that way. If I have to wait until the day of the fundraiser, then so be it.”“Look, I get it. Winnie is special to you. She’s the one you love, or whatever. Regardless, this is your best shot. Colin knows that you’re a god.”“What!” he raised his brow, temporarily startled?“I had to tell him about us, because he pretty much figured out the basics. Anyway, that’s not even the case right now. If you don’t find a way to sneak into the house soon, he’s going to set you up so bad when the time comes, I’m afraid you may not be able to escape the ambush.”He let her words sit in his head for a few minutes. His biggest enemy at the moment was time. By all indications, Colin planned on using the next weekend for his fundraiser. This would make it exactly one week from today. In a way, he could admit Avery was right. He had to move fast if he wanted to thwart C
