The codes were decoded, but by whom?I stared at the screen as it kept bringing out some computing words I didn't understand. It stopped after a while with just four keys. [ Input the password. ]"Damn!" I said slowly, getting to my feet. All the happiness I had once felt was over in just a few seconds. I remembered I had input so many passwords and none of it went through. My father must have been so meticulous in making sure whatever he kept a secret remained a secret. But I was sure there must have been a loop hole. Something only I can think of. I scratched my head lazily as I got out of bed. It was another day to be at school. Another day with Jordan constantly yelling at me for trying to ruin his father. I mean, I was tired of it all. He had done more to me than I can actually count. If there was anyone who should be angry here, it would be me. I got into the bathroom with less worries and took by morning bath. My mind went to Blair. Did I frighten her?I remembered chan

A gentle clapping sound echoed through the wall of the abandoned house. My eyes followed. My sharp ears, trying to see the very man who had the gut to take Blair. But when I saw him, I let out a gentle breath. Jordan. " Did you do this?" I asked with anger coursing though my veins. " Did I? Is that even a question, Eli!?" he snapped. The men on the floor slowly began to rise to their feet. Each of them groaning in pain. I watched as they began to grab their weapons one after the other. " You can either tell me where you had my father locked in or I can kill you both where you stand." Jordan said, his eyebrows arched. I looked at him and my gaze drifted back to the men who were now standing with clubs in their hands. " And why would you think I have your father? The last time I checked, he was a big man on his own. I am quite sure he is fine wherever he is." I said with a satisfactory smile. " Don't you dare play games with me! Do you hear that!" Jordan shouted. " If

Dust filled the air. I had never had to release so much energy before. The air felt stuffed and I could barely breathe. I landed with a great thud, my vision blurred as I watched Blar run out of the building. I was about to lose consciousness when I saw a female figure walk into the building. I could hear her harsh words before I passed out. ******************************************************************[ Gentle heart beat ]I was not dead. Just tired. I could barely move my hands not to talk of my feet. The air was serene and the bed I laid on was soft and fluffy. I looked around and my eyes snapped open. I was not at home. But I was in a familiar environment. The door to my room opened slowly and a servant walked in. On the tray she carried was a jasmine tea and an apple. " Mistress asked you to eat this." she said slowly placing the tray in my bed. I wanted to thank her, ask her who her mistress was but then, she turned before I could talk. I tried to remember what h

A part of me felt scared. I was like a corner mouse having nowhere to go. But then, who says a rat corner can't fight?My heart thudded as I saw some women walking out of the room. Apparently, they must have been there in the first place. This was never a peaceful conversation to begin with. Everyone wanted a piece of me and so does Aunt Helena too. She has hidden her claws long enough. " We don't have to do this Eli. You can just give me what I wanted and I will do my best to protect you from my brother's." she said staring at me" And you want me to believe that? You brought me here in the first place to ask this of me. You never actually cared about how I feel. The only person who truly cares is my grandma and she is dead. She is the only family I have got!" I snapped at her " Soothe yourself kid. No one is going to miss you when you die. Absolutely no one. Think about it." Helena said walking around me. " You came into our lives just when we were about to claim what was ours."

Going back home was kind of tough. My body ached from the bruises and I could feel my ribs broken. I looked at my back each time I walked to make sure I was not being followed. I knew Helena was pissed at me right now but that was the least of my concerns. I still need to find the last piece of what I was looking for. I broke out my phone and it was broken. I winced slowly. I need some air. I need to rest. The sound of the cricket could be heard in the distance. I looked at my body and it felt more weakened. The power I had released, the energy that was discharged was too much for me to handle. I remembered Celeste's instructions. She had asked me to breathe in as out. I immediately took a spot on the green grass in front of me. I shut my eyes and tried to focus. But each time I did, I could still feel their boots crashing hard against my stomach. I could feel each pain as I tried to concentrate. " Focus, Eli. Focus." I said with my teeth clenched in anger. But then
