“You alright miss?" the bartender asked bringing me back to reality.“Yes, yes," I smiled back politely.I felt tired and honestly really exhausted. Maybe I should have gone to the room and tried to get some rest for a while. Scanning the room for Moe, I neared him chatting with a tall blonde.“Piranha," he smiled, “Are you okay? Have you been drinking?"*No," I answered honestly, “I’m just tired, can I get the room key?""Sure," he instantaneously replied and grabbed the room key, "Becky," he called me again, "Are you sure you're alright?"“Yeah," I smiled, “All good."As I made my way across the room towards the exit I felt lightheaded yet somewhat heavy. Maybe I should have stayed here with Moe, it was safer. Somehow I felt like my thoughts fuzzed around my mind and I got this mild headache. I need to get back to Moe.“Becky," some cooed my name as they steadied me with them and caressed my hair gently, “Let's go.""Go?" I asked sleepily."Home, let's go home, Becky."At this poin
Shadows of Deception Strange.
~^~Touching my neck, my finger grazed along a cold metallic chain and I curiously looked at the silvery pendant which had this great stallion that looked somewhat majestic in its form. Moe walked up to me and held the pendant as it hung around my neck, observing it as if he were trying to recollect a memory.“The man who saved me," I breathed, “He put that around my neck. I don't know who he is."Moville seemed to be still taken by the necklace."Moe, what are you thinking?"“It won't make sense." He responded, *It doesn't,"“Finneas and I will check the surveillance footage." Ricard stated, “Perhaps that can aid Miss Grey in identifying the man."As they both left the room, leaving Moe and the stranger behind I frowned at the pendant until I heard Moe's overdramatic sigh and flop on the sofa."Christ. What did I get myself into?" he moaned, I need a beer.""I assure you, I don't think that's what you need." The stranger replied to Moe as he ended his call.Attempting to stand, the m

"Oh my god," I trembled."Becky maybe you should just relax a little," Finny stated worriedly.“I can't, I need to find out. Who is this man and why did he help me and what did he mean? I don't understand a thing. Is he working for Sinister to find me?"“As far as I know, he doesn't do anyone's errands, Piranha." Moe shrugged.“There isn't much information I can gather from him here which is odd because my system usually can go through secure software," Ricard stated, "But what I can find is that he was born in a small town in England. Both his parents are deceased and he was placed in an adoption home by his Nanny in London. I assumed his parents left him in her care when they died.""How did they die?" I asked."Murdered but not much is stated again here." “If he wanted to kill me he could have. If he worked with Sinister then he could have taken me with him. If he wanted to hurt me he could have. Instead, he saved me and gave me his necklace. He was warning me about something- abo
Shadows of Deception Taking advantage…
~^~I parked in the driveway and stepped out feeling a bit uneasy but I sucked it up and headed to the door, ringing the doorbell once.What the hell am I really doing?No. No.Stick to the plan.Staying here would buy me more time. I rang the doorbell once more and took a deep breath until a decently aged woman opened the door quite confused. She stared at me with her honeyed brown eyes and dark brown hair that was complemented by a few strands beginning to grey which was tied in a messy bun."Mrs. Salvatore." I smiled sweetly.There was something that seemed sad about her. There was her face seemed to drop and age- almost like she was deprived of something- or someone."Oh, a new face in the neighborhood?" she mirrored my smile back at me. The way she smiled reminded me of Sinister’s -oh so scarce rare genuine ones- the ones thatwould only happen once in a blue moon that is. Now that I mentioned it and observed her a little more, her smile seemed to be the only familiar trait to hi
Shadows of Deception Happy ending…?
~^~“Oh no, I was going to bring you to this room to stay in anyway," she assured me kindly, “It's his bedroom.""Oh," I said feeling my face for some odd reason burn up.“You can freshen up and get some rest if you'd like, it's already very late." She worried.“Thank you,"She smiled in response and left. Honestly, I felt disgusting- both internally and externally. I hadn't taken a shower since morning and I was aching to do so and wash away my lies and selfishness. Shutting the door lock for the night, I headed to the bathroom when my elbow suddenly hit the closet door open revealing many shirts of his. I ran my hand along all and for some reason, I felt as if I could even smell his rich spicy cold cologne. This shouldn't be so pleasing I mentally slapped myself and headed to the shower where I stripped down and turned the sweltering water on to cover my body. After Iwas finished, I couldn't help but throw on one of the shirts. I took out the dark navy blue and threw it over me
Shadows of Deception Mess…
~^~The smell of smoke tingled through the air and my face and entire body felt numb. I tried to talk but I couldn't, my voice felt dry and strained and my eyes too tired to properly open- everywhere ached so badly. From what I could see, I noticed my brother lying on the road from afar opposite me. He seemed unconscious. I tried to move to no avail. My face was against the damp, cold, wet ground, and my hair seemed to be sticky with either sweat or blood running down my forehead. It felt cold yet the warmth of the fire blazing from a vehicle afar caught my attention. At that moment, I saw the distinct image of a person wearing dark black shoes near me. I tried to move, I did, but I couldn't. The individual stopped in front of me and stooped, yet I still could not see his face- but I knew the voice too well.“Oh Angel," his raspy voice cooed into my ears as he pushed my bloody hair away from my face and tucked it behind my ear, "I missed you,”I felt my aching body being scooped into
Shadows of Deception Never trust your friends.
~^~I parked the car and limped towards to entrance of the house as quickly as possible. To my surprise, I noticed the door was left slightly ajar."James?" I called faintly.There was no response as I made my way inside. The lights were off as well so I stumbled towards the switch to turn them back on. No one seemed to be home. It was odd. The atmosphere was chilly and unusual, not like it was the last time I had been here. Walking to the kitchen, I turned on the tap and splashed some water over my face, grabbing a glass from the side to fill it with water. As I swallowed, I heard a faint groaning sound coming from another room."James?" I called again suddenly covered with an icy sensation, "Marc?"In that second, I heard the sound of glass shattering from the room afar. Rushing there, my heart dropped at the image before me. Marc lay there in a pool of what looked to be his blood, fidgeting slightly. My body felt numb and I for a second couldn't move.“Marc..." I breathed, shocked
Shadows of Deception Black and white.
~^~ I knew in my heart that leaving wouldn't have been the right thing to do. It probably was the wise thing, but not the right thing. I held myself up painfully and entered the house where I saw the lifeless body of Marc on the ground. He didn't deserve this. His son didn't deserve this. As best and respectfully as I could, I pulled and dragged the body out regardless if I was bleeding myself, and dragged him under the tree where his wife's grave was beneath. At that moment, I slumped to the ground. The feeling was numb and there was nothing I could do anymore. I hated it. I hated how helpless and how unfair this situation was. Part of me hated myself because I felt like this was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten involved with him, with anyone. Everyone I go to, I put them in danger. I never cried so much over a dead man's body. Literally. The sudden wash of anger and frustration swept across me giving me chills. It was painful. I felt cold and damp, my consciousness was slippin
