He closed his book and waited till Vitale was done grooming his dear daughter after a traumatic experience. He yelled while she listened when the only she wanted was someone to hold her close. She had asked for his hand while driving home and he had immediately agreed.This daughter was neglected for all he could tell, like the man he was, hiding his true identity from his daughter. How he ever wondered if he would have the same mentality to know what to do and when.His thoughts went to his father. A real father he was. Who actually knew what to do? His father had loved him dearly. So much so that he died for him. The only two people he ever loved were snatched away from him at the mere age of childhood.It made him wonder if she had ever experienced true love. It was no doubt her father loved her, but his love had no value he could not hold her in times of need.He waited for her father to interrogate him, ask what happened and how. But he didn’t. Vitale only gave him a nod and left
It was a bustling room filled with posters of animals in need and shelves stacked with supplies. A wall covered with images of all the animals that were helped by the students, making a difference in the small planet. Students mill about, some cuddling rescue animals, some feeding them, others discussing upcoming events.Emily, the coordinator, a compassionate and determined young woman, stands in the center, holding a clipboard. She claps her hand, grabbing everyone's attention."I need five people for the next mission, Who would like to volunteer for a kitten in distress in the woods,"Eleanor, standing in the middle, with a one-eyed rabbit in her hand, raised her other hand above. Like hers, many hands were up in the air."Jason, Beatrix," Emily continued to point at people, "Oh, and Eleanor, please, this will be your first mission," Emily smiled at Eleanor, and she returned the favor. "Justin, how about you and Lily,"Only she was not very happy that Justin would be joining them t
Sometimes, you have your whole objectives sorted out bit by bit, Your whole life planned and thought out. Your motives clear, your mind fixed. But then, nature interferes, stating that It always has the upper hand, and thus, It crumples your life. The own heart betrays the mind, the body, and the own soul becomes raged with No. The same thing happened with him, And His Heart Betrayed. ...The year 2005Sitting on his heavy bike, He was driving to the most sacred location for him. The roads were clear and desolate surrounded by trees as he traveled on a rough road.Soon enough he stops the bike, on the side, in the middle of nowhere. He gets off, turns the key on the bike, and locks it. He made his way on a small path to a very known location for him. A few minutes and he reached a small area, surrounded by trees A grave with a white stone in sight. It was covered with dry leaves that fell from above. Almost evening was the time, as the birds chirped around, going to their nests to
Remainder, "The Year 2005"ELEANOR'S POVWe were on our way home. I was enjoying the night air hitting my face as the car was moving fast. The sky, dark and cloudy from which the moon peeks down at me.When I was young, I used to think, the moon loves me and follows me, whenever I am outside. So, I used to sit on the balcony of my window and talk to the moon for a long time.I still do that, It's like a habit. But now I know this beautiful piece of the moon is not living but a stone. A beautiful stone indeed. Soon, we reached home. Uncle Joseph got out first and opened the door for me. He always does that whenever he is travelling with me. As I moved towards the main door, I saw a shadow of a man standing there. I immediately recognised him, and I knew I was going to end up with a lecture from him. My Dad. He worries too much about me. I love him, and he loves me more than anything. He is always so sweet and warm. But right now, I know he must be angry. "Eleanor Plum Vitale! Did y
The following day. It was almost night, the sun had set and the sky appeared to be more of dark blue then orange. For an asthetic person, it was the time to come out and relax into the sky. But for those who were non asthetic and well were on a mission to kill or abduct didn't had the time to look above and admire the nature's most beautiful creations, like The Reaper, dressed in the same black shirt and jeans with leather boots, that were different from yesterday. He was ascending the same staircase he had yesterday and many times before, and reaches upstairs. He has a blue bag hung on his shoulder and the two guns attached behind his back,in his belt, safely hidden, and a sharp knife hidden somewhere in his charming boots, This man always had a thing for boots, shows that he never goes anywhere unprepared, always on Alert, ready to pounce the moment he feels alert. One can say he had the abilities of a lion. Well, If you believe in Zodiac Signs, He is a Leo. No wonder he is so goo
"So, I have a plan for tonight!" Said Amy, when she finished writing the last page of her assignment. I still have two more to go. I eye her, "...Okay?!" She always has plans for her nights, party, and stuff. Why is she telling us...and looks so excited."No, I am implying that I have a plan for all of us tonight," She says."What exactly?" I ask."Sacred Club," She winks."...Why?" She seems so excited about going there, we go there practically every other day. My Dad owns the place."To drink, And look around," she said wiggling her eyebrows. We all eye her suspiciously. We all practically grew up in that club, Well mostly because it was the safest place other than home according to my Dad, and also it was free, mostly, when we had to hang out, we go there. "Can't join!" I say getting back to writing. "And why is that?" Asked Mae. "Dad's not well...and I don't think I'll have the permission for a late night after last week's meeting incident," Plus, I don't feel like listening t
He had realized that while working in one of the Viale's businesses, he should expect to see her. But he didn't realize it will be this soon and If he is being honest, it was not a meet-up he was looking forward to.The moment she walked into that absurd bar, he recognized her. And to his surprise, she had recognized him as well. He could see it on her face. The amazement! He was entertained at least by her stunned reaction. The girls sat down and were having a chatter. A good friend, he could see they were fair mates, all four of them. He, on the other hand, was a loner, to say the least. No friends, little to no family, but a good amount of enemies. "Excuse me!" He heard and immediately recognized the voice, In his line of work, remembering the minute details of people is just a part of coding his brain is made into, most of which he owes to his photographic memory. And he seems to remember much about her too. He walked to her, ready for a snarky comment from her side, but that ne
After a long night, of the lamp light changing and fading into many different colors, some eating, and turning sides, hunting and a bit of racing the mind horses to find a goal maybe, or just ending this anxiety. She came to a conclusion and decided she needed a hamster.The hamster had nothing to do with the goal or her future, It's just that while searching for a good opportunity to make a name for herself. She came to a picture of a baby hamster in a sock, his big head and tiny hands outside of the sock while his other half tucked in nicely. He was looking to be in the most comfortable of places. And to her the cutest thing she came across.So, She made a mental note to have a pet now. It was time she grew up and raise some babies, such as a baby hamster.This will give her a sense of well-forgotten 'Responsibility'......On her way to the pet shop, she imagined the proud moment of a mother when she would tuck her own hamster into a pink fluffy sock and she will fall asleep wi
