CHAPTER TWENTY - ONE
ACCEPTING PAIN, THE TRUTH HURTS
I stared at the ceiling drinking beer with the gun on my left hand. I slowly moved my head to my dresser. I stared at the few pictures which were still stuck on the mirror. My eyes shifted toward Jin’s one.
“I got him brother” I said as I pointed the gun at the mirror. “Now you can rest.”
For some reason I felt like killing, killing everyone who had caused me pain. Suddenly I had a knock from the front door. I rapidly got up as I hid the gun under the pillow and the half-filled beer underneath the bed then limped out.
I opened the door half way with the chain lock on.
“Jack” I said in surprise.
“Your face” he said in shock. “What happened?”
“I fell” I lied as I opened the chain lock letting him inside.
“You fell?” he asked as he took a sit on the couch while turning on the television.

THE TAPEI blow the dust off the old computer which was before me.“It’s a little dirty around here I hope you don’t mind” Marcus said with a little laughter.If unwashed dishes with cockroaches on the floor and table, old bicycles parts on the floor, spider webs around the table and corners, thousand mattresses, blankets on the floor and over ten teenagers smoking cocaine, cigarettes and playing dices on the floor was little dirt.“It’s cool” I replied as I took a seat on the old leather chair.“Is it comfortable? I picked it for you” he said with a smile on his face.“Yeah it is” I quickly said in effort to dismiss him.“Well I’ll be going, if you need anything just shout I’ll be outside” he said.I nodded dumbly. He let out a smile then went out.“It’s now or never Siren” I said softly as I swit

A YEAR LATERNEW FRUITSI slowly peeled my heavy eyes open and the sight of blood running down my legs caught my eyes. The huge black rats creeping from the thousand packed boxes before me started crawling toward me. A sudden sharp pain from my feet caught my attention.The terrible bites wounds, which I was sure were from the rats had turned green-ish and purple. “Aah” a sharp groan escaped my lips while reaching for my legs with my trembling hands. Slowly and carefully I dragged my aching body to sit upright.The huge steel door before me suddenly flew open and tears involuntarily started rolling down my eyes. “No! No! No!” I yelled dragging my body into a corner.His red coat dragging on the dry blood of the young child lying in the corner got me crawling on the wall behind me. Even though I knew I could never ripe the wall apart I still dug my hands through it, without caring about my na

AWAKING MY DEMONSThe warm breeze blew my face as I turned to Eight beside me. His tiny hands held on mine tightly. “You scared?” I asked.“A little” he replied.“You don’t have to be, everyone in creche will like you” I assured him.A smile appeared on his face. “Plus, you’ll be playing swings, ball and a lot of toys”“Mr. Frog loves balls”“Well there are lot of balls in the creche”“That sound fun, right Mr. Frog?”We crossed the quiet Jilo Street, heading to the building before us painted in numerous colors and children outside the playground. “We are here”I noticed his baby blue eyes had widen. We walked toward the gate. A young woman with curly red hair was already standing near the gate taking children from their parents.“Sister Nina!” Eight exclaimed running into the red-haired woman’s arms. “Eigh...” I tried to yell but he was already in her arms.“OH, my you’ve grown up! “she s

HENDRICK’S POSSESSION I pushed the door behind me close as I rested my back on it. Gasps escaped my mouth and Kalo seemed to see that I wasn’t okay. He wasn’t crying anymore. “Mama,” reaching her hand to my face.“Hey,” I softly said forcing out a smile, staring at the precious creature before me. I could have had mine, he could have been seven years old by now. Maybe he was a girl? But a boy was going to be better. At least he wouldn’t have to suffer like I was. He would have huge body, able to protect himself along with his friends. The world would be a little gentle with him. All these thoughts flooded in my head.The loud yells rapidly pulled me from my wild thoughts. I rapidly shifted my eyes up. The sight of men seated on couches and chairs watching soccer caught my eyes. Hendrik emerged from the kitchen carrying beers.He headed each men a beer, then shifted his eyes on me. “Yo

HAUNTING PASTI slowly pulled my sweater from the floor and wore it. Carefully I reached my feet on the floor making sure I don’t wake the bald man who was fast asleep.I carefully walked over the unwashed clothes scattered on the floor. I stooped picking up the old leather jacket, which belonged to Junior. I ran my hands inside each pocket, luckily I found a few bank notes inside. I slid each out and slid them at the back of my Jean’s pocket.He slowly turned his face toward me still with his eyes closed, and snoring at the top of the game. I felt the my whole body turn numb. Luckily, he didn’t get up. I slowly placed his jacket back on the floor then picked up my sandals which were a few distance from me, heading for the open door before me.I walked inside the tiny sitting room which felt hollow. Even Hendrik’s apartment was way better than what I was seeing. There were only two couches at the center and a woode

MY MISSION“Listen Siren I’m not going to force you to go back home but I know that your mother loves you and would do anything for you to come back home,” Geno's words echoed in my head.Hendrik ‘s violent kiss on my neck is what brought me back to the real world.“What’s wrong with you? Where is your energy?” he asked pulling the tray of cocaine he had prepared from the drawer beside our bed. “Here, this will definitely help you relax.”I slowly reached my hand toward the tray. “Go on,”I Hesitated to take the tray of cocaine from his hand. Knowing I had to sniff that thing down my nose was driving me crazy, it wasn’t because I was afraid to drugs like Tydo had once said, but it was the fact that I would wake up not knowing anything that had happened the following day. And that didn’t sit well with me.“Rin now,” he demanded, taking a sip on the beer. I noticed that his green eyes had turned red and I knew v
