“And then, he suddenly barges into the driveway and I’m like, ‘Louise what the fuck? What are you doing here?’ Then he pulls out you tattered bloody body from the back seat and I almost get a heart attack.” Mario narrates the story, which only makes Agatha chuckle as she chews on her pan cake, sitting on a stool on the island.Louise walks in on them, having finished showering after coming from his short run before he sits down beside Agatha. To her shock, he leans forward and kisses the top of her hairs, startling her at the contact. When she looks at him, he pretends like nothing is amiss and instead joins in on Mario’s conversation.“Stop exaggerating Mario. You didn’t look that surprised. You have seen your fair share of blood.” Agatha doesn’t even want to know what he means by that.Mario frowns, dropping the spatula down on the island. “You did not have to say that in front of her, I was trying to keep a good image.”“And it worked, really.” Agatha replies with a smile, which ma
Tapping her foot on the floor, Agatha waits impatiently for the man to come back in the room, her hands in her hips one second and then crosses over her chest the other.She had ridden herself of Mario's and Louise's clothes and had dressed back on the clothes she had come here with. The blood stains are gone, but a few places remain torn from the number of hits they took.Where is he?As if on cue, the door to the room slowly creeks open and Louise head pops in, checking her. At the mere sight of him, Agatha’s heart starts thundering inside, the sound of her blood rushing to her ears getting deafening.He is starting to become a nightmare."Hey." He says with a smile before entering the room completely and shutting the door behind him. Agatha smiles back, spying the two wine glasses in his hand along with a bottle of wine. "H-hey. What's with the wine? Are we celebrating?"With a grin on his face, Louise walks towards her, lifting the bottle and the glasses up for her to see. "We hav
The explosion goes off inside the warehouse, making debris fly around and causing smoke to spread everywhere. But despite the smoke, the men in black still make their way inside, guns at the ready, prepared to pull the trigger if they see Agatha Russo.They scurry around in quick footsteps, checking the whole abandoned warehouse for any signs of the girl. Searching for corner to corner, one of the man stops in front of a long cloth, like a curtain, shrouding whatever is behind. As more men try moving forward, the first man raises his hand as if to tell he might have fund something.“Get her.” He whispers. One of the man runs back from where he came, signalling someone else to follow him.From the smoke and debris, a figure walks out to the open, gun hanging limply by her side while she stares directly at the mean. Without uttering a word, the man walks away, letting her follow him to where the rest have gathered. Once she reaches him, she watches as the first man tip toes towards the
"Agatha? You there?""Yeah?" She replies, from her position in the bed with a book in her hands. Louise looks at her from the door way before entering inside and sitting beside her. "What are you doing?""I'm reading a book."No I'm not. I don't really like books.Louise smiles, not pushing in the matter forward. "I'm going in to town today again. I will see how things are now and I will come tell you. Until then, you be a good girl okay?"The way he says it makes it look like he is talking to his pet dog. Agatha gives a thin lipped smile, making Louise stand up and press a kiss on top of her head, much to the girl’s disgust."Good, I will be back soon."Please don't be. I hope you get caught and get killed.No. Don't get killed. Just get caught and tortured. Killing you is my job."Okay." Is all Agatha says meekly before Louise walks to the door and shuts it behind him, leaving her alone.Just as the door closes, Agatha's smile fades, replaced by a barf as she presses her hand over h
USA, 2022,The sound of the helicopter blades coming to a stop is what has Soralina’s eyes slowly fluttering open, making her try to sit up in her position. But as she tries, the feeling of being shackled around the wrists has Soralina jerking her head down towards her lap where her hands rest, her eyes widening.What is this? Why am I being cuffed? What is going on?With her breathing turning into a panic mess, she whips her head in all the directions, trying to understand where she is. But all she finds is herself in a helicopter with three armed men along with her. Slowly the jump down the helicopter as it comes to a stop, making her realize just what is going on around her?Oh right. Louise’s men caught me. The hooded figure almost came to save me, but things went downhill when Louise’s men had back up. And now one of the Hooded figure may be injured, and I’m captured. All my plans down the drain. Now I’m stuck here all by myself.Wait…by myself? I was never by myself…A sudden pa
Italy, 2018,One Year Later:The Russo's manor has turned upside down ever since the disappearance of Agatha Russo. While they all thought Louise had been responsible for, the man had done a pretty good job at hiding his crime and claiming Agatha ran away after he was done treating her wounds.This only made Gustav Russo go into Gorilla mode, knowing now that the only lead they had at finding Agatha's whereabouts is now gone, making then face the reality that they have no clue that would lead the to the lost Russo.A whole year has passed now since Agatha disappeared, and it's needless to say, the Russo's are stuck in their turmoil.Gustav is almost always angry, never taking calmly not holding a decent conversation where he doesn't have to draw his gun. This made the people around him wary and scared of him, fearing to say the wrong thing and get killed. Many had already met that fate actually.Meanwhile Soralina is stuck inside her own head, ridden with differentiators of emotions.
What is this? What is going on?Soralina trembles violently, her hands shaking as she grips the steering wheel while her eyes get blurry from tears, making her blink rapidly to keep an eye on the road.Gustav killed mom? Why? He said he...he loved her. That she died of Pneumonia so what the fuck is this?Whimpering to herself, a few tears escape her eyes as she notices numerous cars in the side view mirror, making her release a sob.But these tears are not only because of what she heard, or why the cars are following her. She knows Gustav wants her dead now that she knows. But what has her crying is something else entirely.You knew, didn't you?You knew about this, and it made you so angry. The Scorpions told you about this, didn't they? Because they knew it would make you avenge your mother and kill Gustav, which will make things easier for them to eradicate the Cross Sword.But your anger clouded your movements so much that you decided to face him without preparations, having no b
Lucian heads up the stairs, entering Soralina's room in search of her, only to come back empty handed. He frowns, wondering what is going on.The is weird. Her friends said she didn't come to class today, but she isn't home either. Soralina isn't the kind to bunk classes, no matter how much crazy she gets.Or did she finally decide to add this to the list too?Walking out of her room and heading down stairs, Lucian almost bumps into Romeo, stopping in the last second."Oh there you are. I was going to come to you. Soralina she-"Before he knows it, Romeo pulls his gun out of his pocket and aims it directly on his forehead, the metal feeling cold against his skin. Instantly, Lucian raises his hands up in surrender, eyes going wide out of surprise."Romeo! What the hell!?""Where is she?" Romeo hisses, making Lucian knit his eyebrows together. "Where is Soralina? Where is she!?"The force of Romeo's words and the question itself has Lucian taking a step back, but Romeo is quicker and he
