With a growl, Luke slammed his palm against the steering wheel. He would need to think of a new plan if he wouldn't be able to track down Marilyn. Looking to his side and giving himself some time to think, He realized that things weren't so bad after all. He may not be able to use his original plan but an alternative idea had introduced itself to him. The loaded firearm resting beside him in his passenger seat caught his attention as if it was calling out to him. If he couldn't do things quietly, It wouldn't be too bad to have a weapon nearby to fall back on. But he was only going to use this gun as a last resort. He still had some time to put together a more refined plan, and hopefully a more effective one. Entering into his home, Luke first needed to do something about his bullet wound before he could properly consider anything else. It didn't look like it was anything too serious but it wasn't going to be comfortable walking around with a bullet lodged in his shoulder for long pe
"Ella? Luke said in confusion. "Why does that name sound so familiar?" Thinking about it made his head hurt. He could tell that it must have been someone important but he couldn't quite recall why. Although he wasn't sure who she was, He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something familiar about her. He felt as though she and him were connected by some unseen force. As he tried desperately to remember who she was, Images of a tall blonde woman flashed within his mind with blue eyes and soft features. Her hair flowed around her shoulders as her long legs were revealed by her short skirt. She had a beautiful figure, and yet her face lacked any features. Luke felt drawn to her as if there was some sort of magnetic attraction between them but he couldn't understand why. He felt like he was supposed to know this woman somehow but nothing seemed to click into place for him. "I'm sorry Ella. I just can't seem to place you." Luke shook his head and sighed before leaning forward o
Luke sat alone in his room as he thought over everything that had transpired recently. He had no idea how he managed to fool the police officer so easily, but he was glad that he could get away without getting caught up in any of this madness. Although he still had a few questions of his own about the oddities within his home. So many items that he had never used before were scattered around his apartment that it left him questioning their origin and purpose. Most of the items had been neatly tucked away into drawers and closets as if they had been placed there by someone who lived in the home. To make things weirder, Each item gave him a sense of familiarity. Despite not knowing why, he couldn't bring himself to throw out the useless belongings from his house. He knew it wasn't wise to keep so many things around that were unnecessary, especially Items that clearly didn't belong to him, but there was something about those items that kept him from giving them up even if they seemed p
[Ella] "Good morning sleepyhead, Are you finally awake," A soft voice greeted Ella as she slowly opened his eyes. Her head was killing her and felt as if she had been hit by a truck. Shaking her head, She attempts to raise her hand up to wipe her eyes only to find that he had been restrained to a large steel bed. "Where am I? How long have I been here?" Ella asks herself as she takes in her surroundings for the first time, her mouth hanging open with shock. The last thing she could remember was walking alongside Aria after a day of shopping. Then they were surrounded by a group of men in black before everything started to get hazy. Her head hurt just trying to remember all of the details. She strained her neck as she attempted to get a good look around the room. The room itself was pretty depressing to look at as there was little to nothing to look at. The walls were covered in thick padded steel plating and There was nothing but a large bed that was bolted into the wall directly
Luke awoke from his vivid dream with a new sense of clarity. After talking Ella's illusion, all of the memories that he had pushed away had come rushing back to him like a tidal wave. The influx of feelings that accompanied them left him drenched in guilt and grief for what had happened. As he sat there with his eyes closed, trying to piece together his dreams, he began to think about what Ella had told him in the fog. Why did she want him to help out some random kid? And how would he even know where to find him? But more importantly who was he? What was so important about helping this little boy that his body had chosen him as one of the possible answers to his troubles? All these questions raced through his head as he struggled to understand the meaning of such events. His thoughts were interrupted though by the sound of his cell phone ringing. "Hello?" Luke answered with concern as he looked down at the time displayed on his phone, 6:30 AM. Who could possibly be calling him so e
Luke jumped to his feet after the realization hit him. "This must be why he is so important! If this kid is as good as this article claims him to be, then maybe I can use him to do something about whatever those bastards put in my body. If I can stop them from controlling my body like before, then maybe I can save Ella without having to kill Caroline after all." Luke muttered to himself as he continued to read through the article, looking for more information on the boy. After reading through many different articles related to the boy's life and disappearance, he was unable to find any more relevant information aside from what he had already known. As far as the public knew, the boy had simply vanished without a trace shortly after being discovered by the police but Luke knew better. He had actually seen him. He just needed to remember where. But that would have to wait. The clock had almost struck 12 and he was going to be late for his meetup. With a panicked expression, Luke quic
With the orphanage in mind, Luke and Caroline set off in his car with high hopes of finding what they were looking for. After driving around for a short while, The Wright County Orphanage is within their sights. With little effort, Luke was able to pull into a parking space near the entrance and quickly shut down his car. As the engine dies down, Caroline and Luke look upwards towards the recently renovated building that once was a sad, neglected mess. Now it was a clean and vibrant place that reminded Caroline of her childhood. It had been completely redone and given new life. It looked like his sponsorship wasn't wasted after all. It was a beautiful place now instead of a cluttered dump. With a smile, Luke and Caroline begin walking towards the smooth cement walkway leading them inside as the door opens automatically when they approach it. "Hmm, She must have had some automatic doors installed. Classy." Luke mused as he looked over at Caroline. "Why do you look so happy about th
"Hey lovebirds. I believe that Beth is just finishing up with her other couple. You two can get ready to head inside next." the receptionist called out to Luke and Caroline with a wide smile. "Hey! We are not love birds. I am strictly here on business. Caroline protested while standing up from the chair and facing the young man by his desk. The man backs up with his hands up to his side in defense. "Whoa. There's no need to be so shy. Why else would a man and woman visit an orphanage together? Plus, you were talking so intimately earlier that anyone could tell you were together." Luke felt Caroline's glare burning holes through the man's soul as she spoke in anger. "If you even dare to say that we were Intimate again, You'd better run fast and far away." Caroline threatened the man as she leaned in close to his face. Her breath was hot against his ear and sent chills down his spine. Her voice sounded as if she was ready to kill him and Luke couldn't blame her either. The thought o
