★★( YOU ARE JUST YOU)★★
Echo kept on splashing the water in the pool with her legs as she sat down on the edge,she was looking lonely and sad. She stared at the water closely
“Hey best” Athena sat down beside her and Echo turned
Athena smiled
“Why are you here?” Echo asked in a muttered and continue splashing the water with her legs
“Is there anything wrong with me sitting with my best friend?” Athena asked
“Best friend? Who?” Echo asked and Athena shifted closer to her
“I’m sorry okay? I’m sorry if I changed because I have a new friend,but trust me no one can ever replace you. I’m sorry for shouting at you in the morning,,I’m sorry” Athena said
“You don’t even know how I’m feeling,it hurts seeing you two together,,I just…..I feel jealous of him” Echo said in tears
Athena hug-ged her
“I’m sorry for making you feel that way,but I really want us to go back to how we were,I am missing you also Echo,so can you just ignore Trace being my friend and continue to be my best friend?? We can’t separate just because of him” Athena said
Echo sniffed
“I don’t know,I just want to have you all to myself,I don’t know if I’m going crazy already” she muttered and Athena sighed
“But I will try okay? I will try to ignore him,but can you just reduce the moments you spend with him?? It always break my heart” Echo added
“I promise to reduce it,as long as you’re happy” Athena said and wipe her tears
Echo stared at her
“I love you” She muttered and Athena looked at her
“I love you so much Athena,I don’t want to loose you to anyone” She said
“I love you too okay? And we are always going to be best friends,so don’t worry” Athena smiled and kis-sed her head before hugging her again
Echo closed her eyes as she felt Athena’s warmth,she have so much missed her that it was making her sick already.

Phoenix stopped in front of a tap as she left the training ground,she was feeling so hot. She loosen two bu-ttons on her shirt and dropped her sword. She bent a little and opened the tap,the water came running and she started splashing the water on her face.
All of a sudden,her hair loose from it’s tie and the long hair came down and spread all over her face,the w-etness made it worst
“fuc-k it” Phoenix uttered and was about turning off the running water when a hand pulled the hair from her face to the back. She froze on the sp-ot and raised her head up instantly,she was surprised to see Blade when she turned.
“B..boss” She stuttered still looking shocked
Blade stared at her without saying anything
“Thank you” Phoenix muttered
He walked away and Phoenix turned to stare at him
She bite her li-ps,she could feel her cheeks heating up. She held her cheeks and smiled.
“Gosh Phoenix you’re going crazy” She hit her head
Seth was staring from afar,he couldn’t help but get mad and jealous. He simply turned back and walked away,he didn’t know when he bumped into Jinx and she fell
“Ouch!” Jinx screamed out as she felt the sudden pain in her ankle
“Are you okay?” Seth asked
“You should have watched……” Jinx stopped when she looked up and saw Seth
“Oh…I’m fine” she muttered
“You don’t have to pretend,I will help you up” Seth said and grabbed her hand,he pulled her up
“Aaahh” Jinx winced,the pain in her leg increa-sed
“Are you okay?” Seth asked
“I think I sprained my ankle” Jinx muttered nervously
“I will help you to…..”
“No,,my room. I will be fine” Jinx said
“Then I will take you to your room” Seth replied and carried her before she could blink
Jinx gasped and looked at him,Seth only kept a straight face as he walked with her in his arms.
They got to her room and he dropped her on the bed
“Thank you” Jinx mumbled
Seth walked out of the room and Jinx smiled but she winced when she felt the sudden pain in her ankle again
“He’s so handsome” she muttered after she settled on the bed

“Boss,Fred is back” One of Marcos’s boys said to him and he rolled his seat,he was busy with the pipe in his mouth
“Let him in” He said In his de-eper voice and the boy went out
Fred walked in,stumping. He’s the only one Venom didn’t kill when he was in Mrs Bob house,but he did justice to his left leg
“What happened to you?” Marco immediately asked looking at Fred who was almost looking dead,he looked so weak,blood all over his body
“And where are the rest of the boys? Why are you just returning? Since how many days?? And where are they? The woman and her daughter” Marco threw the questions
“Boss…..Venom appeared during the operation and he killed all the boys,he decided to spare me because he wanted to send you a message throu-ghme” Fred answered and Marco fold his fist
“How dare him” He growled
“What about the woman and her daughter?” He asked
“I think he was paid to save them boss” Fred replied
“Tiger!!!!!” Marco called and he rushed in
“Yes boss”
“Gather some boys and make sure you find out where the fuc-k Venom keep that woman and her daughter. When you find them,send a message to Venom,he dare mess with me,I will destroy him” Marco gr-unt
“Yes boss” Tiger bowed and went out
“Get lost and go take care of yourself” Marco snapped at Fred who also left
“Venom” Marco called while tapping the table gently

NEXT MORNING>COBRAS CLAN**
Galaxy was about going into the shooting range area when Drake appeared before her,stopping her from walking further
Galaxy looked up with a frown
“Out of my way” She said
“Sorry Galaxy,the boss doesn’t want anyone in right now” Drake said
“Why?” Galaxy asked
“Maybe you should ask him when he’s out,but for now you can’t go in” Drake replied
Galaxy frowned when she heard a gun shot from there
“Is someone with him?” She asked
“I have no answer to that” Drake replied
Galaxy turned and walked away angrily
**
“Out of it” Venom shook his head as Marissa shot the gun,it was completely out of the target
“I’m sorry” Marissa mumbled,her eyes not leaving the target Venom asked her to shoot
“Don’t be sorry,just focus” Venom said and she nodded
Venom adjusted her ear protection properly and she blus-hed even though he couldn’t see her face. She also had the safety gla-sses on
“Open your dominant hand to exp-ose the webbing between your index finger and thumb. Taking the pistol in your other hand, insert the grip of the pistol into the web of your dominant hand. With your thumb on one side of the grip, keep your middle, ring, and pinky fingers curled securely around the other side just below the trigger guard.” Venom instructed while using his hand to adjust the way she was holding the gun
“Stand properly,don’t act like the doll you are here” Venom said and held her wai-st,she froze as Venom helped her adjust her position
“Now aim at the target in front of you….”
“Okay” Marissa mumbled,closing her other eye leaving the dominant eye opened as instructed
“If you miss this,get ready to be punished” Venom said behind her
She didn’t move,her eyes were focused
“Fire now” Venom ordered and immediately she released the bullet and to her surprise she hit the right sp-ot at the center
“Oh my God!!” She screamed and jumped on Venom without thinking
“I did it” She said,hugging him ti-ghtly
Venom didn’t move,he seems shocked too with the way Marissa jumped on him
“Oh…..I’m sorry” Marissa immediately came down from his body
Venom ignored her apology
“You’re improving,,impressive” He mumbled,staring at the hole Marissa’s bullet hit
“Is this mine now?” Marsaa asked,staring at the gun and Venom faced her
“You want one?” He asked and she immediately nodded
“You will get one when you are done with your training” Venom said and Marissa pouted sadly
“You’re just 5% strong right now,you’re not even close to what I want” Venom said
“Don’t worry,I will become the best and you will be shocked,just keep training me,master” Marissa grinned
Venom smiled and looked away,how come she’s so cute??
“See? I made you smile” Marissa said and Venom cleared his throat
“No you didn’t,now continue” He said coldly and Marissa gro-aned before turning back to the target
“I’m hungry” She mumbled and bite her li-ps as she prepared to fire the gun again
**
“What’s between Venom and that tiny girl? Heard her name is Marissa” Jubilee asked Blade as they walked together
“I think Marissa is thicker than you Jubilee,you’re the tiny one here” Blade said and Jubilee frowned
“That’s harsh” She scoffed
“Why are you so obsessed with Venom tho?” Blade asked and Jubilee smiled
“Why? Are you jealous coz I’m not obsessed with you?” She asked and Blade smiled
He grabbed her wai-st and pulled her against the wall
Jubilee gulped as he lean closer,she closed her eyes thinking he wanted to kis-s her
“You’re the one expecting a kis-s,so who is jealous here?” Blade whispers into her ear and she immediately opened her eyes
“Are you teasing me right now?” She frowned
“No,I’m fli-rting with you” Blade smiled
“Get off” Jubilee muttered,her heart was already beating fast thanks to Blade
Blade chuckled and moved away,almost immediately,his gaze landed on Phoenix who seems to be looking at them
She have a sad expression on
Immediately Jubilee saw Phoenix,she smi-rked at her and suddenly grabbed Blade’s head making him face her
She smashed her li-ps on his own all of a sudden
She watched as Phoenix walked away and she released Blade
“What was that For?” He asked and immediately turned back to see Phoenix but she already left
“Sh*t” he mumbled un-der his breath
“I was thinking you wanted a kis-s from me” Jubilee smiled
“Stop it” Blade snapped and walked away
Jubilee chuckled,when she saw Phoenix staring at them ,she knew she might have a crush on Blade and that was why she chose to do that,punishment for messing with her days ago while saving Marissa
Jubilee turned and walked away

NIGHT**
Phoenix adjusted the envelope in her hand as she approached Blade’s suite. She already planned it,she was just going to drop it for him and then leave his suite,the scene she saw in the morning made her suddenly give up,he will never look at her. She’s not hot enough to be his type
She pressed the doorbell and Blade opened
“What you requested for” She said showing him
“Go drop it” Blade said and closed the door as Phoenix walked to the table
She immediately dropped the envelope and turned
“Goodnight” She murmured and started walking toward the door
Blade grabbed her hand and she turned back
“Do you want me to do something else?” She asked
Blade ignored her question and caged her to the wall,Phoenix’s heart started beating fast
And like that,Blade’s li-ps captured hers. As much as she wanted to kis-s him back,still she needed some strength to just push him away,she ended up not doing anything,she couldn’t kis-s him back and she couldn’t push him away either,she suddenly felt the tears rolling down her eyes,she was in tears. She sniffed and Blade broke the kis-s
He was surprised
“Why are you crying?” He asked and Phoenix looked up
“Because………because I want to stay away from you” She muttered and wiped her tears
“But…you are making it ha-rd for me…..and still you are hurting me. Do you hate me this much?? You told me not to love you,you said it’s never going to be possible,you fli-rt with every girl,,,and now you’re doing this to me?? Why do you love making me cry so much? It hurts,my heart is messed up already” Phoenix broke into tears
Blade bite his li-ps and rou-ghhis hair
“I’m…..I’m sorry” He muttered unexpectedly and Phoenix looked up ,she was shocked to hear that
“I’m sorry for hurting your feelings okay? But,I can’t stop fuc-king bi-tch es,how will I live without that??” Blade scoffed
Phoenix wiped her tears
“Stop crying,I’m not worth your tears” he muttered and untie her hair,her long hair fell and he smiled
“You look pretty with your hair down” He said
“Why are you doing this to me? You’re messing with my emotions” Phoenix said
“Jubilee kis-sed me by herself,I didn’t do that. I know I’m a Casanova,but Jubilee is out of it,so stop getting sad for nothing.” Blade said and ru-b her hair before moving away from her
Phoenix stared at him as he walked to the table and grabbed a cigarette,he turned to her
“What are you waiting for? You can go” He said gently
“No” Phoenix muttered and immediately ran to him,kis-sing him unexpectedly
Blade didn’t waste time either,he dropped his cigarette and carried her,kis-sing her hungrily

MARISSA’S ROOM**
Marissa was on her bed,she couldn’t even sleep. She was missing him so much. She hug-ged her pillow to herself,wishing a knock would come on her door and Drake will tell her Venom is calling her.
All of a sudden,she heard a knock. She threw the pillow away and ran to open,
“Drake……,…” She stopped immediately she saw the shock
It was Venom standing right before her,he was putting on a black hoodie,he had the hat on too,maybe probably hiding from being seen?? She could only see his visible li-ps coz the hoodie was covering half of his face
He suddenly removed the hoodie from his head and frowned
“Why are you expecting Drake? What is….”
“It’s not that,you always send him here that’s why” Marissa immediately cleared herself
“Are you going to let me in or not?”
Marissa quickly moved so he could enter,she was still in shock. He’s really here? In her room?
Venom entered and she closed the door
He looked around and then back to Marissa who was still staring at him
“Why didn’t you show up? I was waiting for you,I can’t sleep without you and you know that” Venom said,shocking her even more.
What’s going on right now? Is this Venom or someone else??
Venom stared down at her body,she was already in her nightie,a transparent one
“Did I…bought that?” He asked
“Yes” Marissa replied and he smiled
Okay,He’s smiling more frequently now,weird
“You look hot” He said and she gulped
“Thank you” Marissa managed to say that
Venom moved closer and that was when she noticed,,,he was totally drunk and he reek of alcohol right now
“You look shock,are you still scared of me?” He asked
“Everyone in the clan is scared of you and Blade” She replied
Venom held her wai-st
“I’m sleeping here” He muttered with another smile….why does he look so hot with that smile on??
He tou-ched her cheek and smiled again
“Why did you drink so much? Are you okay?” Marissa asked worriedly and helped him toward the door
“Where are we going?” He asked
“I will take you to your suite……”
“I said I’m sleeping here,do you wanna get punished?” Venom scoffed
Marissa sighed and helped him get on the bed,she took off his shoes and tou-ched his head,He’s really burning of fever
“When did this start?” Marissa muttered and immediately rushed into the bathroom
She returned with a soaked towel,,she climbed the bed and placed it on his head
She could hear his gr-unt,he look tired
“You will be fine” Marissa muttered
Suddenly she felt his hand around her wai-st and she looked down,his eyes are opened
“You’re really not him” He muttered and Marissa stared,, looking confused
“You’re not Pedro,you’re different from him..,….from now on,I’m going to be nice to you” He said and Marissa smiled
“Stay away from other guys,I really mean it Marissa…I hate traitors with pa-ssion,,don’t betray me…you’re mine now,everything about you is mine,don’t ever allow anyone else touch you,I may go wild” He said and pulled her closer,she landed on him. Her bo-obs pressing against his che-st
“Do you un-derstand?” He asked
“Yes…I will stay away from other guys,I promise” Marissa muttered
“That’s not all” He said
“I am yours” Marissa added and he smiled before closing his eyes
