Shadows of Deception Shadows…
~^~ The drive towards our destination felt like forever. Not that I know what forever feels like, I've barely hit my thirties but look at the shit that I was being hit with already. Sinister and Archer followed us behind since it had no space for them in our vehicle. Honestly, the pain was becoming unbearable by the second, so much so that I lost track of time. We stopped at an exquisite hotel. It wasn't that big nor was it small, but damn, it was something that shouldn't have been photographed and posted in a magazine to be admired. Crystal lights adorned the entire building as parts of the ground were paved in marble and river stones which oddly seemed to complement each other. The architect and designer of this place needed to be commended for their work. “Ah Miss Osenova!" an elderly man greeted us dressed in a rich gold suit, "I’m so happy to see you again, please make yourself and your friends comfortable. Our guests are treated like our family! If you need anything don't b
Shadows of Deception Beneath these shadows…
~^~ "Just open the door, Sinister." I sighed. “Becky, I had no idea of any of this." “Like you`ll say now that you weren't even aware that Marc's wife died and you took advantage of his memory loss of her death just for your selfish goals?" “Believe me or not but I was not aware Marc even had a wife. We weren't personal. All I was aware of was what my grandfather told me that Marc would assist me. As far as I knew, I thought he was just helping for the money he got out of that." "Well, Alexander, Grandpa lied to you. Still doesn't change anything, now open the door." He seemed reluctant so I grabbed the keys away and effortlessly failed and struggled to open the door until he held it over my hand and unlocked it holding the door open with a cryptic yet serious expression, "I'm sorry.”~*~ I locked myself in the bedroom to recollect my scattered emotions and thoughts. He deserved all that I told him after all that he did. Didn't he? A part of me hurt and that wasn't any of my
Shadows of Deception A letter…
~^~I sat at the table away from Sinister. Clearly, he didn't mean what he had told me. He couldn't possibly feel anything for me. It was not that long until Moe and Nik came back as Nadia and Archer followed behind.“I brought dinner. And by dinner, I mean lots of comfort food because we all need comfort in any form we can get." Nik smiled.“Why so quiet, Piranha?" Moe asked, noticing my silence.“James has the folder. What if it's a trap? What if they trick him into meeting them because he thinks that Violet is in danger? What if they hurt him?" “Becky, your friend is going to be okay." Archer calmed me, “We'll find him." “He was right there. I saw him, he was at the motel. And I just- I couldn't-"“It's not your fault, Jamie knows how to handle himself," Moe assured me.Sinister’s eyes locked onto mine and I could feel my tears building up, "I'm going to meet Daniel downstairs."I didn't want anyone to see how broken I felt as my pain was seeping through my presence. Taking the
Shadows of Deception Wrongdoings…
~^~I was about to take a step down the staircase but slipped and slipped into his arms. Sinister seemed to want to say something but didn't or rather it seemed like he couldn't. And for the first time, I saw pain in his face. He seemed drained and perplexed and tired as he held me but somehow didn't let go. Something was wrong.“Sinister-"“Be careful," He tried to smile. "Who's going to catch you when I'm not around, Angel?"Before I could have said a word to him, Nikolai touched him on the shoulder, "Let's go.Sitting in the van, I looked out of the tiny window at the back as we drove. The night felt empty and like a great nothingness captured every essence of the living now dead earth as a fragile string of hope seemed to drift across with the glides of the tender wind."Here," Archer gave me the gun, "I believe this was yours."Taking it dryly without an expression to spare he looked at me worriedly, "I promise you, Becky, you'll be safe. As long as I'm alive and even when I'm d

As we walked I felt nauseated by the place, every step of the way."Don't worry, we just need to buy Moville sometime to find James."Over the earphones, we heard Moe speak, "When I find Jamie, I'll send you a code phrase.""What code phrase?" Nadia asked through the speaker."It's, Uncle Moe 's got a big package."“Is this even necessary?" Nadia scoffed as Nik laughed at her disgust."Once he gets Novak, it doesn't matter." Sinister voiced.Archer and I stood in front of this large deeply polished oak door and knocked twice when we heard a voice signal us to enter. As we did, there sat a thin tall man whose hair was neatly brushed back, at a desk whose chair was turned to face a large open-concept window that overlooked the mountain lights above and beyond. It was a beautiful sight I had to admit."Isn't it lovely, Kitty?" The man began in a rough yet smooth voice, “You loved to come up here and look at the stars with me. She particularly loved to be up here with you as well. It was
Shadows of Deception Damned.
~^~ “Damn." Archer frowned, “What happened to you, Banks?” “Your fucking sister did!" She screamed about to plunge towards us but I grabbed one of Archer's needles from his pocket and stuck it in her neck. “You are very welcome." I breathed in relief and looked at him, "Alright, let's go." "Guys just get out of there, we'll leave it to the COSR, James probably left already. There Is need to be inside that place right now. Come on out, It's dangerous." Nadia stated, "Come back." “I’ll run through the place once more," Archer suggested, I know how to handle myself, I'm sending Becky back." "Because Becky is a dog you can just take for a walk to meet a notorious drug-lord slash killer, and send back." I smiled, “But don't worry, I'm going I'm going, no need to rush for my presence boys. There's plenty of this attitude to go around, calm YO-selfs." I heard Moe’s chuckle from the ear piece, “Yeee, you’re becoming more like me.” Whatever. As I was about to take the next ste
Shadows of Deception So much for a vanilla life.
~^~You never know what life is until near death hits you. And you'd never know what love is unless you lose- be it your ego, your vices, your hate, your time, or your love. That's the harsh reality of our burdened lives.I opened my eyes to feel the binding lights above me as my body drowned in the stiffening bed I rested on. A sudden chill ran across my body as I turned slightly to take note of the sun dying for the sky to breathe through the small window at the side. Where was I? Looking down at my body, I found myself decorated with hospital equipment for patients. Pushing away the oxygen mask from my face, I stumbled out the bed with an intense migraine. Why was I in a hospital? God, my head hurt. I pressed my hands against my temples as I moved across the room to the window.“Becky? Oh my God! Nurse!" I turned to see Nadia at the doorway of the room as she smiled almost in shock and tears streamed down her face. Something about her lookeddifferent.Archer suddenly rushed to my
Shadows of Deception Tying up loose ends.
~^~As the sun gave birth to the sky, I quickly packed my luggage and left the apartıment leaving a 'Be Back Soon' note to Nadia on the refrigerator. So help me God, let me know what I'm doing. Somehow it just felt right to go there.Walking into the airport, I went to my flight and sat at my specified seat. Taking a deep breath, shut my eyes ready for the flight to take off when I heard a familiar voice. “You forgot this."Looking up I saw Nadia arching her eyebrows while taking the seat next to me, giving me my phone."What are you doing here?" I frowned, shocked at her presence. Nadia inhaled deeply and tiredly made herself comfortable in the seat, "I honestly don't know why but somehow this trip seems to be important to you. Also, your company kind of grew on me."Smugly I smiled, “Aww, you mean you'd miss me."She rolled her eyes and asked, "So where exactly are we going'?"“I have no idea.""Becky, you can't be serious!" She exclaimed as we walked into the airport, "You didn't
