Isla was silent. Her mind played far, wondering how the woman before her had gotten that information.

Her voice, shrill and bold broke her off her thoughts. "What's on your mind, love?"

"Stop calling me your love." Isla frowned, irked by the idea of a woman calling her with sweet name. She wondered if she was a lesbian sent to seduce her in some way, and what annoyed her was the fact that it had worked at some point of time in their dinner... Minutes ago before she had dropped the big bomb.

"I never said, my love. I only said, love. I believe I can say whatever I want to say," she replied, enunciating properly on her words. Then she added, "love."

Isla gritted her teeth in annoyance. But her anger was the least important thing to worry about at the moment. "How do you know about Trevor and I?" She asked, then stopped herself again from asking the further questions that might get her in trouble. "I mean, how... Why are you the one here and not Nathan?"

"Well, for a start, I'd like

    Isla puzzled on the thought long long enough, wondering what Tori had said earlier. She was at the door waiting anxiously. There was a lot on her mind, but it was in that moment that she realized that Nathan might had been even more important to her than Trevor's promise. Sure she wanted to fulfill his plans badly because of what she was going to gain, but she was starting to doubt whether any of what she was going to have to go true was worth it. If it was worth Nathan's hatred for her. It was too late now because she had a long day debating whether to go and visit or not.Just one knock and it would be all. She waited anxiously, her heart pounding inside her chest. When she thought she had stayed outside long enough, she decided it might be best that she just walk away but the door clicked open, and she saw him standing there just staring at her with a kind of disdain. Of course she couldn't tell whether it was a look or disdain or not, but he didn't look too excited to see her. "

    "I threatened her Nathan, because she isn't who she claims she is." Tori said, and Isla froze.Immediately, she jumped forward wishing to make everything stop. "Please, let me explain it myself. Please! Nathan. Let us talk. I need you to understand that--" Before she could end her statement, Tori ended it for her. "Isla is working for Trevor." Tori spilled and for a spilt second, Isla forgot how to breath. "I mean, I tried, I really only tried to say my doubts out loud, and she fell for it. It's crazy actually, but she fell for it. And it turned out that my claims were actually true. She's a spy sent by Trevor to watch us all, to study us and then she goes back to narrate all of what is happening in our midst. I knew we shouldn't have trusted her." immediately she finished talking, Isla didn't know how or why, but the tears just kept rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. She didn't want the cat out of the bag in that manner. Nathan couldn't bear to listen to another word and so h

    The second day, they each agree Nathan should visit Parker Ryan. Isla had decided to cooperate with them, and that had been a really smart and kind thing to do because it was sure going to assist them on their journey. Risky journey. Isla had explained a few things to Nathan. That day was on a Friday, and Parker Ryan always led an assembly with the rest of his community members, but he tagged it a VIP assembly, so not just any member was allowed. The meeting was to be held at a grand hall in Ettavile, and it was strictly by invitation only. Ever since Nathan settled the differences between Isla and her father, they had been trying to get along just fine. And for that reason, Parker Ryan had given her an invitation. It was a special one that was completely unique compared to the other, just so he would be able to brag about his daughter being present, and separate her from the crowd. The meeting was held once monthly, and at that moment, Parker Ryan was faced with a problem, as Isla

    Parker Ryan was standing opposite to him, suspicious eyes staring at him. He wondered why he was there at his event, but what baffled him more than why was a matter of how. Nathan Anakin right in his domain, and for what reason? He waited patiently for him to gain consciousness and full recovery before asking again what he was doing there. Nathan paused, trying to understand why he had passed out. He remembered his plan of he was supposed to get a private conversation with Parker Ryan. Then he searched his environment and observe that he was in a different space entirely. Perhaps it were Parker Ryan's personal space, and that was a good thing. The room was vast with a billing interior setting neatly arranged just for the purpose of attraction. He was seated on a wide arm chair, Parker Ryan opposite him. What was he going to say? Either way, whenever he planned on what to do or say, he ended up doing the opposite anyway. He cleared his throat. "Good day to you, Parker Ryan," The o

    A while later and Isla was inside and regretting her actions already. She knew that they were supposed to have been nice to her already, and yet it was just Tori that was with her, and was nice to her. Doris on the other hand, she was still quite angry at her for some reason. She said nothing to her all through her stay, and that nearly bothered Isla. But thanks to Tori, she was less cold.She spoke to her and made her less uncomfortable. Then the call came through. ****Isla didn't know what to do, but she was certain of one thing. Her father would never make any foolish decision at the moment. His secret was on the line and the only safe thing Nathan could do was to wait. At least for a few while, until they arrived there. They had already jumped into the back of a taxi, and suddenly, Doris wished the car would fly. Isla dialed his number again, "hi Nathan!" She called out, her voice nearly deafening. "There is something you can do. Call him!"When she advised, the ladies in the

    When Nathan reached home, he began to narrate his tale. Luckily for him, they had been just around the corner waiting for him. He uttered no words until they arrived home. Tori was the first to start asking questions. "What happened? Tell us everything!" "You were running, did Parker Ryan let you go scot free?" Doris asked, and she paused for him to catch his breath and sit down. "Nathan, you need to start talking already." Isla said nothing, but she didn't even need to say anything. The look on her face explained it all. She was worried, then anxious and then worried again. Not only for Nathan, but for her father. He must have been very shocked. She hoped there wouldn't be any sort of complications from his stage of cancer judging by what had happened that day. That was all she could do... Hope. Finally, Nathan was ready to start spilling. Immediately, his mind played back to what had happened and he felt like it had been a dream. He started narrating everything, and they surpris

    Isla was seated angrily, not speaking to either of them. Nathan said nothing, and Doris and Tori apparently had some important discussion to make because they went inside after a while, leaving just frowny Isla and quiet Nathan. Time went by for a while until Isla decided to break the silence. "You're not even going to ask what happened? You and the rest of them are just going to act so quietly like nothing happened?" "That's why we're not going to ask." Nathan said and saw her frown. "You're still angry and you need a while to breath. So we're just waiting patiently." She signed realizing that he had been right. "Well we still have to discuss about Manuel." She said and just as they were going to continue with their discussion, there was a knock on the door. Nathan's brows furrowed and he wondered who could have been at the door. He silently hoped it hadn't been his weird fake friend. When he got there to his surprise, a frowny Parker Ryan was standing at the entrance staring at

If was better if she went to meet him, than he coming to find her which could only mean one thing and it wouldn't be a good thing. Arriving at his house, the environment felt foreign to her. She tried a pose of confidence but it failed everytime she remembered the evil dear Fernando was capable of. She decided to get it off her mind and focus on the present. Fernando had not be around and so the maid told her to relax in the living room, then asked her if she wanted anything to eat or drink. "Oh no thanks, but I'm good." Tori replied to the woman who then left quietly. She heaved in a deep sigh and her mind went over to the time Nathan had his accident. She failed to accept the fact that her family member had been responsible for everything bad that occurred in his life and family's life. And then there was the issue of his in-laws again. They weren't good people. He was surrounded in the midst of evil people. The b

He had promised his lady that he would be on time and now he was running late.He finally got to the main road and took his place at the bus stop. After waiting for almost two minutes– two extra wasted minutes of his time– a taxi arrived and after a brief negotiation, they were on their way.His phone rang out from his coat pocket and he already knew who would be calling.

    Frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept her warm. Isla watched the ice-crystals grow for a while, allowing her brain to be empty, content to exist and be. The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings. Yet between now and watching her breaths rise as new white-puffed clouds there will be a very cold night. The kind that only stops at the doors of the well-made houses. The cold weather that seeped through any thin cloth to drain the soul, instead feeds the soul of those well wrapped in warm layers of well insulated fabrics.It was the same type of coldness that reached into one's bones, as if their heart were a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do would be to keep moving, keep heading toward home and the steady warmth of the hearth. There was a lot on her mind that night. And she even tried her best to get Nathan off her mind. She wouldn't just stop thinki

    Evelyn met with Regina that day. Not for anything else besides their main discussion. She had purposely visited Regina and had the meeting scheduled at her house. She loved being a wedding guest. It's as if rockets have been lit beneath the soul. There is such love right out in the open. Everyone feels free to let their happy flags fly. Cynics are silent at last. Birdsong becomes the music of the quiet reflections. Souls are united. To have an invitation to such an event is a blessing indeed.She saw the woman from afar, shivering in fear. Fear of what though? Well perhaps it was because the head of the Queens was right at her house! She gave a satisfying grin at the moment and continued with her discussion. "Well, so you see why it is important for us to meet up?" She said, a satisfying smile working its way over to her cheeks. Her face had been plastered with bright heavy makeup. Again. Just on purpose. She ignored Regina's shivering and continued. "So we can discuss the wedding

    Nathan is alone, thinking about his life when Doris enters. She tries to confront him, but he just wasn't buying. He was terrified of a whole lot of things. The emotion of our reunion sealed as a perfect photograph in my soul.He had felt so very angry. He'd felt so deeply bloody angry with the universe, with God. Yet that is so unfair. Everything he had struggled for is exactly what he asked to do. He had en route to achieve what he set out to achieve. The pain that was to come with it, the brutal brutal suffering of his soul was necessary. There was no other way to learn what he had learned. The anger is because he want to be with her. He want to be with you so much but he had to keep his own counsel, his own direction with only the influence of the divine ether that came to the artist. Artists would get that. They've felt what he felt. But there must come a time, a day, a moment when he would get to say he'd done what he set out to do. He really hoped so. Because that was when we g

    Nathan opened the door for Tori to go in and she smiled at his portrayal of a gentleman."Thank you." "You're welcome."She walked in with a small bag in her hand."Here let me help you.""Oh no it's fine, I got it." She replied smiling."I don't like the idea of inconveniencing you in this way."Tori had insisted on following Nathan home after he dropped her at her place. She claims she couldn't leave him alone and let depression take over him."Mr Anakin, I'd like you to know that I have no secret agenda behind this, I just want to make sure you're okay by all times." Tori explained."Why are you saying that? I know you have no hidden agenda Tori.""Then let me be with you in such a crucial time sir… as a confidant." She said with so much sincerity in her tone.Nathan sighed, "as you wish."Now they were together in the apartment, Tori had insisted on preparing dinner but he plainly refused, he still had his mind on Doris and he wondered what kind of things the abductors would be

    The door of the station pushed open and barging into the room was Evelyn with the other important women of Ettavile as her minions.Her heels made loud noises as she strolled confidently into the D.P.O's office."Ma'am you can't go in there." A police officer stopped her."My daughter has been kidnapped and I know who did it so move!" She yelled at him, pushing him away from the entrance.Inside the office was Nathan and Tori who had rushed back to the station after their conversation with Evelyn."I know who the culprit is!

    They had no other option than to meet Doris and her husband. The gang stole Drew from us a piece at a time. Every week they pushed him slightly further until not only did he have no morals, he thought that way of thinking was a desirable freedom. His family, we who truly loved him, became his enemy. He looked at us like we were vile to him. Then one day I found him shaking in his bedroom, crying like the sun had been stolen from the sky, his hands slick with another's blood. That's the last time I ever saw the real Drew, in that moment of remorse. After that he sunk so low into his new m.o. that no-one got close unless they were bringing news of the next gang order.Nobody joins a gang without being a lost soul first. No-one goes to a monster for guidance unless it's their only option. Yet I can't underestimate this gang boy, however young he is.

    Owen has nothing, he talks to his wife. He called his mother, they agree to beg Nathan and Doris. Incels, if women were robots then you could push their buttons and make them dispense sex in the way a coffee machine gives coffee. They aren't robots, or fem-iods, or foids, but people. Your hatred of women shows up in who you are, thus at an instinctive level, below the conscious brain, women will fear you. This fear is there to protect them from having sex with a man who does not love them. Women are people. Their "sex" is a form of bonding with the one they are in love with, male or female. People also tend to love a person who loves themselves, who is at ease with who they are. So maybe work on yourself? Build empathy instead of entitlement and hate? Personally, I only have sex with a guy when I love him. Not a robot.The "Incel" according to the Oxford Dick-tionary of "we know everything about you assholes who hide behind fake names and avatars," is short for "Incompetent Celibates
