This time I will leave the house.
Next time I will leave the town.
And then I will be finally free.
Eli repeated that phrase in her head over and over like a powerful charm, like a promise she made to herself. She vowed to escape from that house, the one she had once called home.
“Elizabeth! Get out and come here right now!”
The deep voice of a man echoed through the walls of the house reaching fiercely Eli’s ears. It was such a powerful voice that it could send easily shivers to her spine every time she heard it. Once it was the cause of Eli’s happiness, now it only brought her immense sorrow.
A few hours ago, she had escaped and hid inside a hole behind the closet cabinet. In silence, she waited for the pair of feet to go away, to stop getting closer step by step. However, her heart was beating so fast, she was so afraid that he will hear the loud drum of her teeth shaking. Her body trembl

The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day."I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before tha

Part 2. The darkness of the night was screaming with thunders and lightnings; the clouds threatened to shatter the world with the fatality of the storm. Screams and shouts of help came from everywhere in the world."Help!""It is the rage of a dragon!""Please, stop it!"They knew a mighty dragon had gone mad from the loss of his lover. The broken heart of a dragon was the worst fatality that could even descend upon the vulnerable. The mortal world will die because of the rage, the immortals will suffer and shatter to appease the sadness. A woman with silver hair was atop of a mountain, looking up at the figure of the dragon shouting in pain. "Come," she said, "come to me, I am waiting for you."The mighty dragon in the sky roared and with his red eyes shining and illuminating the darkness, he followed the voice of the woman. The thunders changed into a soft rain and then the sun rose again to alleviate the hearts of the people. No more rai

"Hello, beautiful lady," a man's voice stopped her in her tracks. She felt something strange going on, the past shinning of the Old Madame's house was dimmed. There wasn't a good feeling anymore. Emma turned around and watched as two men approached her. They look up and down at her with a little smirk in their eyes. They seemed like the kind of dirty tugs that liked to pester the people in the town in name of their mafia boss. "What do you want?""Oh... don't be afraid, pretty lady," one of them, tall with a big body but with a terrible face, walked several steps forwards reaching out to her. However, Emma moved back swiftly as if she was not afraid of the stature of that man. The other man snickered, "did you see, bro? She isn't afraid of you...""Well, that is a first," the tall one responded with a little smirk, "come with me pretty lady, we can have some fun.""Don't get near me," Emma said with a fierce stare."Why not? We can have a good t

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a
