My chest ached as I stepped into the bathroom, slowly peeling off my clothes like I had sores all over my body. Whereas, the real was one I couldn't touch or see, one I could only feel.

Granny's death was more painful than I could have imagined. Maybe if I had someone to blame, like whoever was after Charlie, it would have been easier to bear.

    My chest ached as I stepped into the bathroom, slowly peeling off my clothes like I had sores all over my body. Whereas, the real was one I couldn't touch or see, one I could only feel.Granny's death was more painful than I could have imagined. Maybe if I had someone to blame, like whoever was after Charlie, it would have been easier to bear.But there was no funny business surrounding Granny's demise. She didn't fall down the stairs or step into the path of an approaching vehicle. She didn't choke on her food or succumb to food poisoning from anything she ate.She simply closed her eyes, and that was it. The slumber that was meant to be temporary ended up being a permanent peaceful goodbye.I wanted to scream into the shower, but I knew it would only startle Granny Petra, whom I had managed to convince that I was fine, and Kaila, who had only recently survived a near-death experience.My lips parted in a silent scream as warm liquid streamed down my face. I didn't want to believe th

    A call came in from Melissa the moment we got off the plane. She had just seen the news about the attack on Kaila's apartment, I hadn't told her the address, but you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to put two and two together. "I am so glad you guys are okay, poor Kaila must have been scared out of her mind." Melissa sighed over the phone. "Yeah, she was pretty shaken up, but she was also really brave. I would be dead right now if it weren't for her." I stated with a smile. "Well, you did save me from getting kidnapped, so I wouldn't call us even. Plus, you are also my brother's boyfriend." Kaila chirped in. "Is that Kaila? Can I talk to her?" Melissa basically squealed. "Who else would it be? We are just walking out of the airport, meet us at Granny's place." I chuckled. "Oh, I am already there." She muttered, her voice suddenly losing its enthusiasm. "Hey, is something wrong? You sound...sad." I asked softly. "Did something happen with Jacob? Or is it that stupid old man an

    I wonder what anyone who saw us must have thought as we ran down the street, ducking into alleyways at any sight of headlights.With how early it was, anyone driving on the street was either late-night workers, party animals, or cold-blooded assassins/kidnappers who wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet in my skull and take Kaila hostage.We eventually had to stop in an alleyway so I could treat Kaila's cut. Then we found a public restroom to wash our faces, Kaila also had to change into something without blood stains on it.There was no sure way of knowing if they knew we were gone or not, the phone I picked up hadn't buzzed even one bit since we left the house. Maybe it was set to silent, I didn't know. "Charlie's in trouble with whoever sent those guys?" Kaila muttered like she was still trying to comprehend what happened."Yes, but your brother didn't do anything to them. I assure you that." I replied firmly."Then why are they after him?" She stuttered, blinking back tears."Because

    The sleep in my eyes vanished without a trace, I quietly reached for my bag, which had my nuzzled gun. Sounds of a struggle echoed through the hallway prompting me to quicken my pace.Using the commotion as cover, I carefully pushed the door open just enough to get a glimpse of what was happening in the hallway.I gulped forcefully as I sighted three masked men in black surrounding Kaila. She was bleeding from her right shoulder, but it didn't seem like she was the one who got shot.Since they hadn't bothered checking my room, I knew Kaila hadn't mentioned I was here."Careful, she has to be presentable to the boss." One scolded another who forcefully jerked Kaila to her feet."I am being careful." He spat. "Aren't I, sweety?"Kaila's face scrunched up in disgust, spitting at his feet which only infuriated him even more.He raised his hand to hit her, but the first caught him swiftly before he could strike her."Cool it, Carden." The first warned.The second guy, Caden, huffed before

    Dinner was nice. Really quiet, but nice. Kaila's cooking skills didn't come close to Charlie's, but I couldn't complain.If all went well, I wouldn't have to bother about eating anyone else's food. Charlie would be out and we would have a good life together.The problem with that dream resided in the timeline. There were a lot of pit stops between now and that dream future."So, what exactly is going on with Charlie?" Kaila's words snapped me out of my daze."I am not sure where to start." I cleared my throat, getting up to help her clear the dishes."About the start. The sooner you get talking, the sooner we get to a conclusion." She suggested with a shrug.Straight to the point, the girl didn't have time to waste."The thing is Charlie is in trouble with some really bad people, and you can be sure I am doing everything I can to help him out if the situation. One of those things includes getting you to safety." I briefly explained.Kaila blinked at me unfazed by anything I had said.

    I had enough company to the airport to rob a bank, not that I planned to. Granny, Melissa, Jacob, and even Bryan for some reason. They had all gathered at the airport to bid me farewell, as if I were a first child going to college for the first time."Are you sure you have everything you need?" Granny asked, straightening my shirt out."Yes, Granny. I have everything I need and more, thanks to you." I chuckled, turning my head at the announcement from the speakers."Looks like you should get going, give my greetings to Kaila." Melissa grinned."Yeah, and get us some souvenirs on your way back." Jacob chirped."Ooo, like a big Ben customised Flash drive." Bryan mentioned."But, most importantly, be careful." Melissa said.I picked up my small bag and slung it over my shoulder, they were making the last call for Peterborough already."I will be fine." I assured her before heading off.The plane ride was a brief one for me because I slept right through most of it, only waking up wheneve

    What exactly was she on about? I didn't know and I didn't really care. I turned to Theron who had taken his hand away from my face the moment she barged in."Stupid lady." I mumbled, but she didn't hear it."What are you in about, Cynthia?" Theron sighed, sounding tired."He, you, I saw-""You saw

    I wish Jacob had mentioned how much that drink cost before sending me off to the store. Between it and the lavender I bought, I almost didn't have enough for a taxi to the hospital "Hopefully he's awake." I muttered to myself as I walked the hallway to his Ward.The nurse at the reception greeted

    You know how, when you make up your mind to give something your all, and then something happens that just throws you off balance at the last moment. Yeah, that's the pickle I was in the day after.It was a sort of mock-up basic combat test, we had been informed about since the week began and I had

    Suddenly, I couldn't feel the cold autumn wind any longer; my hands hung frozen around him. He seemed really worked up all of a sudden making me wonder what happened. I couldn't tell if I should hug him back or push him away, though; a larger part of me wanted the former.Slowly, he peeked up at m
