✏Allison’s POV✏
.
“Papa!” My voice c@m£ out in a whisper and terrible shaking. I turned towards the direction of my house, the gunsh0t echoing all over again in my head..
Tears sli-pped from my eyes unconsciously and I didn’t bother to wipe them, myl-ips quivered and my insides suddenly felt h0t and crumpled.
“Run Alli!”
Dad’s words rang in my head and as if wanting to obey it at any cause; my feet began moving fastidiously.
I let my feeling reflect in the swiftness of my steps; each moment I thought about it, my steps only quic-kened. I couldn’t feel my legs, it was more like I was floating in the sky. The fear that those murderers were behind me was enough to fasten me. It was more like my b©dy was doing its work even without my contrition.
I felt the ache, all over me it stabbe-d and pinched but it was the least of my worries, I bothered less about it and focused my mind on the race.
I shut my eyes as the race lengthened, ma-king the tears drop and wiping them off quic-kly to clear my vision.
I didn’t know where I was going and yet, I didn’t care, I was fine with wherever as long as it is away from them.. those monsters!
I was drawing close to a sloppy lane and my steps were doddering, weakness had overtaken my system but I couldn’t st©p running, my feet hurt badly, I’m sure they must be bruised badly. I knew they nee-ded rest but I just couldn’t risk it and I pushed them down the lane, I was going on when I sight a figure coming towards me.
Alarmed, I st©pped. I couldn’t see the face of the person but it was walking towards me, without nee-ding a signal; I turned and began moving backward but in the next five seconds, a strong arm yanked me back and I felt myself suc¢v-mbing fully to his ha-rd ness.
“P-plea-se save me! plea-se” I did the only thing I could do at this point.
I was too weak, there’s no way I could fight this guy. It’s obviously impossible when I’m myself, talk more of now. My words broke but I’m pretty sure it was audible enough to his hearing.
He twirled me to face him and my guess was fully ascertained, my doubts cleared. His face c@m£ in full view and beneath his familiar spiky hair, I saw his face and it hit me with full recognition and unaware, I called his name with a lot of dexterity.
“J-Jonas?”
His b©dy stiffened.
And as he stared at me with same familiarity, I heard a loud sound. It almost struck me deaf and I turned just in time to see a thick foggy smoke covering the sky after a hvge fire erupted..
My house?! It was no doubt that it c@m£ from my house?
I couldn’t contend it any longer and I felt my b©dy becoming totally weak and empty.
“”H…e..lp me.. p..lease!” I turned to him, a tear dropping from my eyes and reflecting in my scattered words. I gave a slow blink and went into unconsciousness.

$h!t!
I gr-unted messily in my mind at the whole fv¢ked up situation. I checked her pulse and felt relieved when I noticed she was breathing.
Without a thought, I carried her in my arms and took her to my car. I opened the backdoor and carefully la-id her in. In the dark, I could see the dried whitish streaks of tears on her face. I shut the door and hopped to the drivers, I started the car and drove off.
I arrived at the h0tel, parking at a very secured and less suspicious space. I walked into the h0tel and head to my room. I quic-kly gr@bb£d the small bag I had packed earlier for my journey, I signed out of the h0tel room and head back to my room.
I would’ve left her in the room, at least for tonight but Zoe alre-ady knows I stay here, she might come in at anytime and it would definitely create suspicions.
I threw the bag to the pas-s£nger side of the car and went to the drivers. Holding the steering wheel, I glanced back at the girl and found her still fast asleep on my seat.
I faced ahead and started the car, heading out of town.
It was alre-ady past ten and here I am, going on an almost six hours journey. I just couldn’t take the risk.
My f!nger joints hurt as I kept driving in full speed, my glance occasionally sli-pping to look at her. The journey went on, I was three towns away from Lonatown and I had just one left to pas-s throu-gh before getting to my destination. The girl was still unconsciousness at the backseat and I had to st©p and check her pulse again to be sure she wasn’t dead.
My phone continued ringing countlessly but I didn’t care to answer even though I was fully aware of the identity of the caller.
I continued the journey and in no time arrived at a silent area, it was too ba-re you’d think it’s a desert, at the peak of my destination. I sight the small lake just in time and parked in front of the portable bungalow. I climbe-d down and lifted the girl out, she was quietly asleep and her soft breath made tiny sounds. I took her to the house and inser-ted the key into the hole, the door opened and I took her in.
I pas-sed the living room to the brief narrow hallway, I opened the first door and arrived at the be-droom, I la-id her gently on it and lifted the duvet to her n£¢k.
She must’ve had such a shock to still be asleep!
I stared at her for a moment and walked to the door, I opened it and walked out, getting to the living room; I began taking off my jacket when I heard my phone ringing. I took it out and swiped to the receiver at the first glance.
“Did you get the card?” Gavin’s impatient voice filled my ear.
“There was nothing of such on her. She doesn’t have the card re-ader, Gavin” I told him.
“What?” He said. “then did Lucas not give it to that family? Crazy old bastard! Marilyn couldn’t have lied to me, it must’ve been somewhere in that house. Well, I alre-ady ordered for it to be burnt down so I guess it shouldn’t be a problem anymore” he rabbled to himself.
“And the girl, I want you to kill her. She saw too much” Gavin said, ma-king me glance towards to the door of the room I left her in.
“I alre-ady did and I disposed her b©dy pretty well, which was why I couldn’t take your calls. No one would be able find it!” I said, trying to sound more as-suring and I heard his hoarse and satisfied laughter from the phone..
“Good, very good!”

“Seriously, I appreciate this Jay. It’ll be such a waste to lose you. Come over tomorrow, I’ve got something big for you, more like a p@rting gift” he said. “But I hope you’d think about your decision though. The crew won’t be like it without you” he added.
“There’s nothing to think about, Gavin. I’ll be with you tomorrow, goodnight” I said and hung up.
I left the phone on the dinning table and took off my jacket, I hung it on one of the couches, I sat beside it and stared into space, running a palm on my hair, I moistened myl-ips with my ton-gue.
From the little I saw and could put together, Gavin probably have something with a man and as-sumed, or was rather told that he had given it to the girl’s family. So, he had s£nt the squad there to get it and waste the family.
Gavin had said, it held some secrets and revelation about him and it could bring him to nothingness.
I stood up, walked outside and gr@bb£d my bag from the car, I looked around and went back to the house. I bolted the door and opened the bag, I took out a bottle of painkillers and went to the room I left her in, she was still asleep. Upward. Just exactly as I had left her. I t©uçhed her forehead, it was h0t and we-t with sweat. I freed the duvet a little from her b©dy and increa-sed the air-condition. I walked over to the nightstand, dropped the bottle there and walked out.
I arrived at the living room and put out the lights, I went to the couch and plopped in it.
I let out a heavy sigh. Staring back at the girl’s room. I stretched my shoulder, feeling it’s stiffness. I felt tired. I stretched out on the couch, glanced once more at the girl’s room and shut my eyes afterwards, drifting to an immediate sleep.

🖤Allison’s POV🖤

“Mmh..”
I m0@n ed aggressively, my f!ngersrecklessly gr-abbing the sheets. I tossed violently on the be-d, digging my face into the fluffy pillow.
His f!nger hung around the trigger, the red light plastering on Mom’s forehead I’m a tiny dot.
It moved. And then again until it met with the trigger and-
“No!” I yelled and my eyes flung open, lifting me to sit up with an imaginary f0rç£. My palm moved to my head, a splitting pain striking right at the middle. I winced as the pain aggravated, I tilt my head in an effort to suppress it but it only aggravated. At the nightstand, I found a bottle of aspirin and without an offer, I gr@bb£d it and swallowed two of the tablet, shutting my eyes and relieving the pain. I sighed in relief after the pain died down some minutes later.
Slowly, I took in the room I was in. Last night’s memory flashed back in my head and as the tears fell, I tried to think of more..
I remember bu-mping into that guy and then my house… Oh my goodness! My house!
Those bastards burnt it down right after murdering my parents. As if hitting me anew, I didn’t know when I coll@psed on the floor until I felt my bu-tt hit the ha-rd object. I drew my knees to my che-st and cried..
What could we have done? We were just poor and alone. My parents were very peaceful and I didn’t have anyone else to talk to ap@rt from them, I practically had no friend to have a beef with neither did my parent. They were the most peaceful people I know?
Who would want to harm us??
If at all they offended anyone, could it be to an extent of the person wanting their demise?
I couldn’t help the tears from falling ra-pidly, the wound was too fresh and open to keep quiet. One minute, we were happy and the next…?
It’s almost like a nightmare to me, if I hadn’t seen it then I wouldn’t have believed it..
They are gone! Gone forever.
Those inhuman bastards!!
They wiped them, everything I have! The only people I could call family! The only ones I knew, were gone!
I would’ve been with them too.. if I hadn’t escaped they would’ve killed me too, but for what reason?
Why would they just want to wipe a peaceful family out of the earth?!
My che-st rose and fell ra-pidly and repeatedly, my breathing ha-rd and audible as my b©dy trembled.
This is like an awful toe-curling horror movie! But I experienced it..
How could life be so cruel to me? Why did it bring me only to take the only people dearest to me, away?
A p@rt of me regretted listening to dad, I shouldn’t have heeded to his request. I should’ve stayed.. maybe I could’ve changed somethings. I might’ve saved him even though it looked practically impossible but I should’ve stayed.. if I had then we would’ve been together.
I shut my eyes, letting the tears flow ra-pidly like water. I wanted to do more, I hated myself for just doing this but then it was all I could do and a single thought about last night’s horror was enough to bring a bucket of tears out. I would say I cried for hours- no exaggeration.
I let my thoughts wander back on yesterday’s night.
He helped me and I pas-sed out, so he must’ve brou-ght me here, right?
I looked around the room, it wasn’t his h0tel room, he must’ve brou-ght me somewhere else. Or could it not have been him? I’m pretty sure it was him though, I definitely wasn’t hallucinating.
I was still in thoughts and staring at the door when I heard a light knock at it, it froze me a little. The door began giving way and he walked in seconds later. I gulped at nothing, just staring at him.
“Um hey” he waved slightly at me. “I wasn’t sure you were awake and the door was open so I just walked in” he added, ru-bbing his temple.
“Yeah, so I made breakfast. You’re hungry right? I’m setting the table. And, that’s the bathroom over there, you can have a wash and would you nee-d some clothes?” He asked but I gave him no reply, my voice suddenly seem lost and my vocal cords wouldn’t even produce anything, so I just stared at him.
“Of course you will, it’s a dumb question” he laughed hysterically at himself and shortly, “there are some clothes in the wardrobe, pick anything that fits you until you get other clothes” he said. “so um.. I’ll just go now. I’ll be expecting you at the dinning! It’s pretty easy to find” He gave me a small smile and walked out, closing the door lightly so it made just little creak noise.
Somehow, I wanted to doubt that any of this was real. I mean he didn’t act like it, but then again, I’m here at his house.. so it did happen.
I found out I couldn’t cry anymore and I wasn’t in the mood to do anything else, I just wanted to disappear, to be empty and free.
I didn’t want to be in this b©dy, I didn’t want to talk or do anything..
My life as from now would svçkhorribly!
I sat up, feeling tired from crying and walked to the door he said led to the bathroom, I stared at my horrible reflection in the mirror and ended up going throu-gh another phase of loud cry.. The pictures were everywhere! Every fv¢king where! I wiped my tears but my whimpering wouldn’t st©p, I turned the tap on and splashed some water on my face. It was cold and it brou-ght a whole new wave of feeling to me. I sight a stack of towel, neatly folded on a small table, I gr@bb£d one and wiped my face and it help me look less horrible.
I walked out and went to the be-d.
Truthfully, I was hungry. My b©dy nee-ded food but then there was a more stronger and powerful nee-d, something that easily overshadowed that other nee-d but I know it couldn’t be satisfied- it’s impossible. I shut my eyes and breathed out, walking to the be-d, I gently la-id myself on it and gr@bb£d the pillow, hvgging it ti-ght and the next second, I was crying again..

🖊️Jonas POV🖊️

I sat at the dinning, staring at the exit of the pas-sageway that led to the rooms but she wasn’t there.
It has been over an hour alre-ady since I left her room.
She probably wasn’t coming. Earlier after entering her room, she had been in tears, between that messed up and teary face; I still saw her angelic face. I un-derstood she was going throu-gh a phase, everyone went throu-gh one, including me.
But.. she had watched her family die. Mine had been worse but we’re both different people with two whole completely different emotions.
I tried to as-sure myself that she’d come but she didn’t, I glanced at the time. It was past nine alre-ady.
With a sigh, I gr@bb£d my fork and began eating.
After the meal, I covered hers up and left it on the dinning, she might come out later. I stood up, gr@bb£d my car keys and head out. I st©pped at the door, glancing at her room door and contemplating on checking up on her or not. It’s best to let her alone for now to gather herself back up. I shut the door, got into my car and drove off.
I calculated that I should arrive at Gavin’s by noon, so I set out early enough.
After a really long ride, I arrived at his house. I walked in and placed a knock on his door, he ushered me in at once and I walked into the living room. He was alone as expected, smoking from a pipe.
“Hey, yo! My boy’s here!” He commended, gr-abbing my palm and giving me a rou-gh handshake. I sat opposite him and accepted his offer of a cigar and a lighter. I lit it up and took a slight drag, puffing the smoke out. “plea-se tell me you thought about it and you’re staying” he said, hopefully.
“I’m not,” I said and he gave a dramatic sad face. “Anyways, Gavin. There’s something I want to know” I said and he nodded quic-kly, giving me a curious look. “Well.. about that family yesterday, I just felt really curious and confused about the whole thing” I said.
“Oh.. you want to know about them?” He asked and I nodded, tapping the cigar on the ashtray to take out the excess Ash. “Well, I don’t know a thing about them either” he said. “The person I had an issue with was Horatio. Like I told you, Marilyn, his wife who was one of my mistress-you should know her, she’s the frequent one; told me about them. Anyways, I wanted Horatio’s shares, we used to be friends and kind of p@rtners in crime until I betrayed him, of course. But the bastard, sto-red up all my secrets in some fv¢king memory card, Marilyn told me about it and probably suspicious of her, he gave it to his Gardner. Probably asking him to give it to the cops or something, he must’ve known I was coming for him but we were smart, Marilyn found out in no time and that was why we attacked that family,” he ended, letting out a rou-gh laugh. “interesting, huh?” He asked amidst laughter but I just kept a plain face and nodded slightly. “You know, if anyone had done that job and brou-ght your kind of result, I would’ve doubted but since it’s you; I feel so relieved!” He said, taking a whiff..
A door opened in the house and a lady emerged from it, clad in just a short towel with her cleavages popped out.
“Oh and speaking of the devil” he flashed a lopsided smile at the chubby lady who walked to him, he squee-zed her in, giving her a de-ep we-t k!ss; I glanced away when his palm moved to her bo-ob s. “Marilyn, that’s Jonas, the one I told you about” Gavin introduced and she gave me a toothy smile, I left my expression blank, giving her an irritated look. “Don’t worry, he hates smiling” he told her.
“And right, here’s your pay. I tripled it as promised!” He said, leaving a briefcase on the table.
“Thank you, Gavin but I alre-ady quit work. You can take yesterday’s as a bonus. I just c@m£ to say a final goodbye and that’s it” I said, leaving the cigar on the tray and standing.
“Oh son,” Gavin stood up and squee-zed me in for a hvg. “Do not st©p thinking about us.. we’re family, okay. To me, you’re just going on a vacation!” He said before re-leasing me and patting my shoulder. I gave the lady a cold glance and walked out of the house.
Getting into my car, I wasted no time in starting it and driving off.
I parked at a mall, got down and purchased a red flair dress with a pair of sli-ppers and some un-derwears. I wasn’t sure of her size so I just took three different ones and sizes too. I paid and continued my journey home.
Arriving, I sighted the front door left open at a distance, my face grew pale immediately and I parked. I climbe-d down from my car, observed the area pretty well and headed for the door. I peered throu-gh it before entering, examining the house. Nothing seemed amiss but on second thought, I found myself rushing to her room but I st©pped when I found the door wi-de open too, I walked in and my fear heightened, she wasn’t in her room!
