Waking up was a murderous intention for I was the most wanted in the city. Bella left me with her priced possession after she fell off the roof. Luckily she didn't die or anything worse. That girl has a very lucky fate. After she ran away I was left alone with him and we were in the warehouse. She was to come with the info so that I could free myself from this nuisance of a person, him of course. But nay, she fleed.

I should have taken the hint this morning when she said to take care and she hugged me tight without letting me breathe. Sarah wasn't one to hug.

I woke up to see nothing except darkness that enclosed me. The windows were bloodshot and the wind told no tales. I let go of the covering put over me which was made from cotton that has been overused and the blanket did nothing but stink.

I let my sole touch the cemented floor filled with thick viscous fluid I know not the name of. I take in a deep breath and I breathe it out. I have to get out. "And how do I do that?" Spill the tale of Sarah letting me on all the goings-on the organization has been up to? I, my dear, am nowhere near here. Nothing knows me. I don't know them. So tell me how the hell did they know I was related to that little brat? "Sarah, if I get to you!"

I continue to let my feet trail down the viscous fluid. I swear I felt something touch my feet, something slimy. It tickled me. As if to mock my existence. How I got here. Foolish me!

The door opens. A figure rushed into the dark little room and I squinted for a second. "Did it see me?" I contemplated where to go. To the bed or forward to probably smash his head against something hard? I chuckled because I know I am long dead.

The flash was in my undies. The upper part. He rushed towards me and confronted me. I do not see him but felt how coarse his fingers touched the delicate skin that bore my ulna and radius. I felt how huge he is because the wind wasn’t directed faintly at my face anymore. His aura was. As if to silence me. "Am I going to die?"

I see darkness as I stared at his supposed face whilst I presumed he stared at mine. And my cochlea picked up a high pitch that almost deafens me. And I lost my balance for that split second and I was forcefully lifted off my feet.

My back kissed the thick liquid and I was made to sink and I felt weight against mine. His huge palm against my entity. I was drowning, suffocating with the liquid tricking into my nostrils like I was a sewer.

The wheezing could be heard from where the door was placed and slowly it diminishes as I fight for my breath because I was losing consciousness. And my arms could no longer move.

'Hannah Hannah.’

A voice called my name. My almost deafened ear picked up the sound and my nose oozed red paint. I was losing it. "How dare I hear Sarah at my time of death?"

' Look!'

My ears gave in to her enchanting voice. My brain disobeyed me and let my eyes look ahead. I stopped struggling only to see what could blind me. I see racketing over the land and things fall from the sky in loud thumps and there was turmoil. I see who pushed Sarah off the building. I see a silhouette with dark skin and rough palms. And a figure resembling the one who currently chokes me. And I come to the realisation that I am far from here. Then I gasped for air.

Hey everyone. I do sincerely apologise for not posting since. I wouldn’t say I am fully back tho. I want to use the opportunity to thank everyone who has shown their support. Probably I’d write an article on that, Thank you lovelies. Have a nice day!
