“That’s cold,” hissed Jazz opening her eyes. She instantly starts to shiver especially when she realized she was naked and her hands tied together. Frantically looking around to see who was with her and where she was currently.
“Eva,” she asked shocked.
“Took your bloody time waking up,” she grabbed hold of another bucket of water. Viciously she throws it against the helpless girl who covered on the dirty bed.
Jazz sputters when the water hit her full in the face again. She thought she had survived her cousin’s mean streak but apparently not since she was behaving again like she used to when they were children. She suddenly searched and found her inner core knowing how to play their games of tormentor and the captive. She always might start the fight but she who was Jazz Duncan always completed it stepping away as the victor.
“What the hell Eva? Untie my hands now.” She said in the stern voice she learned from her grandmother.
“Tell me cousin, what do you remember about last night?” Eva stood towering over her.
“What do you mean? You made it sound like I should remember something?” Jazz looked at the openly vicious and nasty expression on her cousin’s face.
“You certainly made the headlines this morning. I can’t wait for that old bat that we call grandmother to learn about your wild side. I truly hope she would choke on her lemon tasted tea.”
“What are you talking about Eva?”
“Oh, you will learn not to mess with me, bitch.” She grabbed hold of her phone and quickly scrolled through various websites. “No…no, fuck, where is it?” she suddenly screeched in fury.
Jazz choice her distraction to start biting the rope. They may have grown up now and worlds apart but she never forgotten her lessons learned as a child. The moment she was free, she carefully climbed from the dirty bed. She noticed her dolphin necklace laying on the floor. The chain seemed to be broken.
“What the fuck,” Eva instantly moved to grab hold of her. “You will not get out of here.”
Jazz timed her the moment she was within reached she slapped her hard throw the face. Shocked and surprise, Eva staggered backwards. Her heart clearly feeling black made her instantly retaliated She stormed the naked girl with clawing fingers. “I want you to die,” she screamed.
“You have to fight me for that privilege cousin.”
Jazz moved with maneuverability that infuriates the other girl. “Catch me if you can, cousin. I don’t know what you did with me last night.”
“How did you removed the footage?” she screamed trying to catch her.
“What footage?” Jazz stood motionless a moment. She tried searching her mind but everything comes up blank.
“I will manage somehow to wipe you from this planet, bitch.”
“Give it your best shot, cousin.” She taunted the other girl while making sure to stay out of reach of her grabbing hands.
“Eva, where is my clothes?”
“Are you ashamed of your body?”
“No, I am must better looking then you. The way you went through men, you must be on the used good lists by now. Judging from that nasty expression on your face, not long and we both will see the road marks of your choices edge onto your mean looking face.”
“I hate you Jazz,”
“I know you keep telling me. But I don’t feel the effects of your hatred.”
Eva looked at her panting from the attempt to catch Jazz.
“You should exercise more. You sound like an alley cat in heat.”
“Bitch,”
“Nah, that label is your collar to wear. And you wear it so proudly.”
“When I am finished with you grandmother will never talk to you again.” Eva start moving towards the door.
“Where are my clothes?”
“No clothes for you. I still have plans.”
Jazz moved quickly but this time surprising Eva was faster reaching the door, opening and quickly locking it from the outside.
Jazz reached for the door just to confirm it was really locked. Then she turned around and looked at the barren room except for the dirty bed. She noticed a landline. Quickly reaching for it but it was dead. “What dirty place did you trapped me inside Eva?” her question echoes with no answer. Bored for a moment she looked at the window. She was never afraid to take risks, and she certainly isn’t above getting out of here naked.
She noticed the dust covered mirror. A naughty streak took hold of her. She moved and stood in front of the mirror. A slow smile curved around her lips. “Well now Eva, I did tell you I believe in self-love. This very expressions and soft lines on my face, I am the owner of this face. The characterizations are my very expression of owned adoration.” She laughed softly. “This my dear cousin is my self portrait …I owned and love every definition. Just looked at this reflection of various shades of brown within my eyes, even the casting of emotions influences my expressions. You are currently the reason for the crease between my eyes, definitely define by my mood at this moment.”
She turned away from her reflection moving towards the window. “I am certainly not going to stay trapped in this place. Somehow you caught and lead me into a trap but I am not your victim in waiting, cousin.”
Intent on inspecting the window when she noticed something in the corner of the floor. Curious she moved closer kneel and tried to remove the floor board. It seems as thought there was something hidden inside. Her immediate movements suddenly stilled when she realized someone was inserting a key into the door. She quickly moved upright moving into attacking mode.
“I am not your victim in waiting Eva Duncan.” She whispered. The moment the door starts to pushed opened she jumped in the air with fingers clawing and sinking into flesh. She realized the upper body where she wrapped her naked legs around was well muscled and moving. She felt a wet tongue lapping her nipples, firm hands wrapping around her buttocks in a very intimate fashion. She felt the adrenaline and overwhelming instant desire burning through her. Horrified that the powerful man might realize her body’s instant betrayal she bites his head.
“Bloody hell, get off me,” the man let go of her. She instantly land on the floor staying in a crouching position. “Who the hell are you? Who locked you in here naked?’ growled the man in a dangerous tone.
Running…. running, need to hide. Nowhere was safe. Can hear his laughter. Need to slip away from what doesn’t work. Where is he? Why is he hiding… Warm tears stream down her face. She can’t reach out to wipe it away. She tried opening her eyes but she can’t see. Something covers her sight. She tried calling to find out who was with her, sometimes she senses the presence of someone circling around. Her heart beat wildly until she realized she wasn’t afraid of the unseen person. Darkness settles around her again. She tried not going into that tunnel, afraid of where he might be lurking. He enjoyed staying in the dense coverage of the island taunting her. She has the instinct to get up and run but she can’t move. She keeps fighting but the darkness was too powerful… She was now somewhere in the depths of her unconscious mind seeing herself as a person of one. She makes stillness into a quietness that resemblance invisibility. She needs to escape his cloying presence. Running…running…
Jack sit looking across the ocean. His body still feels weak but he was no longer so thirsty. Sometimes he kept looking at his ring wondering why Jazz never calls. He watched the fisher men trying to catch the meal for the day in the harbor. Sometimes he looked towards where his brother was playing with other kids on the beach. It was clear he was enjoying his time.“Son,”Julie touch him on his shoulder before sitting down across from him.“Hello Mom, everything okay?” he looked at her and also noticed the difference in her.“That’s the very question I wanted to ask you. You seem sad,”“I am just thinking Mom,”“Is this about Jazz?”Jack turned to look at her. “Did you hear from her?”“No but I did talk to her grandmother. I want to go back.”“Are you taking Jason too?”“It’s time that he gets stability in his life.” Julie started fiddling with her fingers especially her rings. It draws his attention since it was what he has been doing. “There is something else I need to tell you Jac
Jazz just woke up feeling restless. She jumped out of bed restless. She kept wondering if Jack was okay. At the same time, she refuses to intrude into his time with his family. According to her accounting, Jack’s medical expenses came to a halt. To her mind the doctor managed to help him and if something were wrong at least Julie would have let her know.Opening the shower door, her morning ritual was quick and to the point. Stepping out again Eva was waiting for her. “Morning,” she starts to dress in her usual sportive outfit.“Are we going somewhere Jazz?”“Why you ask?”“It seems you are back to being you.”Jazz looked puzzled a moment before understanding her cousin’s meaning.“I like my way; beside can you truly see me as a sophisticated person?”Eva laughed. “What’s your plans for the day?”“I am going out on the boat. Where is Brazen James? By the way why are you calling him that?” Jazz satisfied with her easy look start to walk towards the kitchen. She quickly noticed the man
Jazz stepped into the coffee shop. She took the corner table with a clear view on the door and to look outside. She was still puzzled about the odd call she received from Julie wanting to meet here. She did warn she wasn’t coming alone.Her fingers wrapped around the warm coffee her mind travelled to a time before Jack Warren…her cousin Eva, once she could manage to lie with ease and simplicity, along with Allan Black, both two faced liars convincing of a friendship true. The laughter’s reflection in their eyes, an easy going smile that speaks of sincerity.“You changed cousin but you certainly could put on an act, that side of your personality that could really boils my blood.” She said softly to herself.Looking out the window strangely worried about Jack. One thing she knew about him, he was very punctual and trustworthy. The fact she has no communication from him was strange. Her mouth twist with controlled emotions. It has been a while since she felt the need to do that.“Jazz,”
Jack felt himself being dragged somewhere. He was barely conscious. He desperately trying to hold onto the image of Jazz. He felt his body being dropped onto a bed that stinks. He hears from afar someone moving around him but he can’t open his eyes.“Jazz…” was his last word before he was completely dragged under into darkness.John Warren stood looking at his beaten son. He took his phone and switch it on. He immediately received a lot of miscalls and urgent messages from his mother. He dialed the last number.“Son, where have you been? I have been calling but no answer. Are you with Jazz?”“You sure can string a lot of questions in one sentence woman.”There was instant silence on the line.“Julie…”“What have you done with my son?” she finally asks.“I want you to find your way back to the motel where we used to live.”“What have you done John?”“Don’t make me wait too long Julie. Make sure to bring Jason along.”John switch of the phone just stood looking at his boy. He left the r
“Jack,”John stood in front of his son. He just seemed to stare at nothing. He snapped his fingers the eyes didn’t blink once.“What did you put into that mixture Barry?”“My business. You seem uncertain now.”“I am just curious.”John kept looking into the staring eyes.“I can ask him anything?”“Yes, you can also make him do whatever you want. By the time he remembers the damage will be done.” Barry went and sit beside the table making notes.“Jack, look at me”John watched him slowly obey.“Describe Jazz,”“Truth from my heart…”“Yes,”“I am in love with her smile…the way the corners of her lips curve.”“Tell me more,” John said eagerly.“I am in love with her voice…the way the timbres sound.”“Go on.”“I am in love with her body…she is perfection in my eyes.”“I agree, go on, I know there is more.”“I am in love with the sound of her laughter…it’s like music to my soul.”“Yes, she does sound delightful. Conclude your praise,”“I am in love with her eyes…it always twinkles with mis
