Chapter 25
Well, we can always run but we cannot hide from our fate.
......
The only thing my body wanted to do the moment the door opened up and my eyes met hers was to lunged for her to the ground and let my hands do the work of strangling that fragile neck to death. I wanted to take her life, to make them pay for all the horrid things they made me experience.
I simply wanted to kill her.
I could have sworn a glint of resemblance passed accross her eyes but soon as it came, it vanished. She dismissed me with an annoyed look and proceeded her rant with Logan. "Why did you made the guards leave for? Dad would go ballistic if he heard about this!" Dresden spurted, arms crossed in her chest. Her guards were no where in sight, a part of her dubious act. But there was no danger awaiting for her.
She was

I know. ......"Come on, let us get inside. Its not safe here. Are we on schedule?" Siba asked meeting us midway to her. She led us inside the farm, the dead like bodies of the unconscious girls laid silently in the beds. Waiting to be harvested for the evil's use. I passed them wanting badly to yell at their ears and wake them up but the only thing I could do at the moment was empathize. Clenching my fists into balls I dragged my feet along the white tiled floor, moving my unwilling eyes away. I silently promised to come back for them."What are we doing here?" Frustrations, maybe mixed with my confusion,I spurted out of a sudden to the two who started their hushed talking. I couldn't take it being left alone in the dark, knowing nothing of the supposed plans of escaping. "Tell me please, I just couldn't find it in myself to calm down when I don't know about our next move

The vents.......When we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't mean that there's no end to it, sometimes patience is what it takes.I really thought we were going to walk for eternity. The dark passage just go on without the seem of having an end. Stairs leading us to nowhere and the small fire of the lighter in Nick's hand was getting smaller with each of our steps.My legs were going heavy like blocks of cement, the only thing making me move was the idea of finally being free. That at the very end of the tunnel there would be the waiting sun, gloriously smiling at me. That once again I could spread my wings and fly into the vast horizon without the need of watching behind my back. That at last I could smell the fresh air after so long.We walked for hours, not talking or making any unnecessary sound other than the falls of our feet to t

I'm giving up.......The guy gaped at me, travelling his eyes up at the open ceiling and back at me. He was about to say something and I was ready to make him stay quiet, but then the moment he opened his mouth, the unthinkable happened, the guy passed down cold on the floor. Shockingly as it was, I made my way out the room without second thoughts.I was back in the hallways that gave off a five star hotel ambiance within a jiffy. Taking deep breaths I travelled to the rendezvous the fastest my legs could afford. I ignored the throngs of guests that started to huddle up, panicking as to why everyone were starting to pass out. They would soon all pass out anyway. The perfect diversion I could have wished for.I started to run.This couldn't be happening, I read and memorized the map in my head. I couldn't have gone the wrong way. The ide

Now you will all die......."NO!" Shouted both Nick and Logan at once as I came closer to Dresden. I still aimed my gun at her, not trusting the devil's daughter. I gave the boys a deaf ear and continued with the slow pacing. Hearing nothing of their protests; I need to do what I need to."I'm trusting your words Dresden! Nick for me! Now! Let him go!" I raised my hand, the one without the gun and then I bent down to slowly drop it as Dresden do the same, letting Nick go. The moment it hit the ground I kicked it towards Nick as Dresden pushed him hard and lunged for me. She pressed my body down cutting off my breathing, but, she wasn't the only one with a plan. I already comprehended that she would do the exact same thing she was doing, try to kill me."Get off her now!" The table was just been turned around. Nick held my gun to Dresden's head, the meta

You still don't know who he is.......One.Two.Three.Four.Five....Fifty-six. Fifty-seven. Fifty-eight. Fifty-nine. Sixty. ......Ten minutes was enough for sure. Nick had been gone for far too long. Okay, I might be overreacting but who would not be in our situation. My body couldn't stand the idea of him getting hurt.What was it there? The thought itching my brain. I got a dreadful feeling of the imminent danger, like in the dream with the bear and the fox. A monster was lurking in the dark, waiting for the right moment to attack. I need to move, waiting would be impossible when my brain wouldn't shut the hell up, nagging me with my worst nightm

I don't wanna die, princess. I don't. ......Waiting is maybe the most excruciating thing ever invented in the world, if to say that it was been invented or created. It was a mere concept after all. In the in between of your waiting time, many things could go wrong; things that could change the entire game plan. I always hated waiting. I was born impatient, didn't even wait for the doctor's hand to slap me before I wailed into ear shattering cries. The time wasted for something you don't even know if would come. Your heart that don't stop from thumping, from racing and from worrying for the worst to come. It all makes me ill.I groaned as the agony in my foot increased, but it wasn't the only part in my body that was injured from the fall, my back was also in tremendous pain. My movements were limited, we couldn't afford to continue our travel with my condition and we o

Are you fucking kidding me?......FLASHBACK (RECRUITMENT)"Get moving! Grab the things you can, the police are coming any minute now!" I shouted through the blaring alarm of the jewelry store. My friends-if you could call people you met just hours ago as friends- started moving, we used the back door leading to the dark alley as an escape. "It's nice working with you guys! Till next time! Ciao!" I bid my goodbye and we all parted ways. I drove off passing the store and the incoming police. It would be a busy night for them.I on the other hand smiled widely, there would be a nice morning to come for me.......It was yet another boring day, the hyped of last night's events were dissipating rapidly. I needed something more long lasting, something bigger and more thrilling.

1We are training you so that zero percent chance of winning will be a hundred percent!......FLASHBACK (TRAINING)"How did you convince my parents?" I asked the salesman clutching the papers in my hand. Though they have a serious thing for security, the salesman remained after our first meeting."As far as they know you were accepted in a prestigious school out of the country. You scored a hundred and eighty six in your last IQ test, it's easily believable. Much I couldn't believe a fifteen year old hacked in to the Pentagon's firewall using a back door...anyways...your parents would be announcing your acceptance once you get home and you'll be leaving with a flight tomorrow at exactly six am and then it'll be intercepted at New York and you'll be rerouted to Langley for debriefing. Nothing formal just small talk," he explained pointing to my hands. "Read it, don't ski
