Chapter 127
Elena's shoulders were raised as high as ever as she listened to the conversation between Costa and Isaiah play out. To her it was the most disgusting thing she had ever heard, but she decided to keep her calm. Despite how hard she tried, still, her teeth remained gritted while her palms grasped extra firmly around the steering wheel.There was nothing she wished more there and then than to kill Costa with her own hands. She wished that Isaiah could simply just stop feeling bad for what he did and tell Costa off. Whatever will be, will be. She wished Isaiah was like the men of the past who would rather see the world crash to war than bend their knee for other men. Seeing Isaiah cry filled her with quiet scorn.Meanwhile Isaiah listened, with tears still streaming down his cheeks, ravaged by guilt and buried in grief."Now here is the question," Costa continued, slowly, as if taking his time, having Isaiah marinate in his anguish and Elena in her anger. "Why did you do it, Isaiah? Why
Chapter 126
The drive to the town Elena promised went on silently as Isaiah no longer felt comfortable talking to her anymore. There were things she was not telling him and he knew it. 'What does she mean by, I should have already figured that out by now?' he asked in his mind, eyes on her from the side of his head as she drove. What did she want from him that would need him to completely discard his basic morality? The family in the house was fake, but she did not argue with that in mind. Rather, with uncertainty hanging around his head, he had to do it. As he remembered the anxiety and stress that was heaped on his mind in those moments, the less trust he had for her.But for now he wasn't going to say anything. When all this was over, he would have to cut her off from his life entirely, he thought.The buzzing of his phone rang him away from the thoughts he was having at the time.He flinched at this, moving extremely quickly to grab it. It was the small, low-tech phone ringing. The Gambinos

"Did you get the scroll?" Elena asked, her tone becoming extraordinarily serious. "Yes," replied Isaiah, although he was very much tempted not to, since Elena was not answering any of his questions."Give it to me," she said, hands outstretched. "I want to see if it is the real one or the original.Isaiah stepped back and placed the scroll farther from her reach. "No," he said firmly. Elena looked at him squarely. "What?""I said no," he replied once more, taking further steps back. "No, unless you tell me everything.""What are you talking about, Isaiah?" She asked, walking towards him. "I am not joking or playing around, Elena," he said. "You have to tell me what is going on or this scroll gets destroyed. And I'm telling you, I'll do it."Elena blushed at this, seeing him become fierce all of a sudden with glittering eyes, not denying his intent to destroy the map.She raised her hands. "Okay, I surrender, my dashing prince of mayhem. What do you want to know and why would you
Chapter 124
The woman, the mother of the strange family whom Isaiah had just tried talking to, seemed to pay no heed to him. "Can't you hear me?" Isaiah thundered, filled with much trepidation, as at that time, the giant man had raised his pitchforkto the air like Neptune hoisting a trident and was about to throw it at him. He knew this time that a hit from that pitchfork would be the death of him.But apart from the fact that Isaiah was almost about to get killed, there was something else in tg background of it all that was strange. The lady in the flowing dress had continued making her pudding as though there was nothing wrong going on, as if she had not screamed to call for help from her hulking murderous husband.And the children, they too had gone back to playing with their toys: the girl with her doll and the little boy with his toy train."What is this?" Isaiah asked. "Is this some kind of madhouse? Are you all some kind of robots? What's wrong with you all?" But there was no time to ask

Another explosion rocked the place and he dove once more to a corner. He was becoming good at this, getting closer to the house. It seemed the closer he got, the more defenses the house seemed to put up. The wooden stakes that were pinned into the floor with barbed wire around them began a faint glow, and then from each of them sprang out several kale-like weapons."Oh-oh," Isaiah exclaimed. This wasn't good; they would shoot in no time, he thought. There was nowhere to go, whether back, front, or to his adjacents. "Will I die today?" He thought.The kale shot into him, coming with its invisible bullets, a vibration in space and time, and the world became dark in Isaiah's view. The blue cloudless desert sky that was above his head now seemed incredibly beautiful to him. He wondered why he had not noticed it in the first place."I am dead," Isaiah said, seeking not to fight fate anymore. Maybe the person that he was supposed to become was really nothing but a dead man lying on the dese

"No, you're crazy," Isaiah said before walking away, his back turned to her while she knelt towards the floor.But then came an unexplainable rise of dust, an explosion that shook him and the entire space around him. He was sent flying away, landing just before a rock. But he searched himself; no harm had come to him despite being the subject of such an attack.But right before him, on the floor, was Elena. Seeing how he is now made him remember everything. He was pushed by her away from the explosion."Elena, what did you do?" He ran to her, pulling her away with the dust smoke making for some sort of screen against the view of whoever it was that had attacked them. He took her behind the rock. Her clothes—a side of her shirt was blood-soaked right at her left ribs. He pulled the shirt up to see a large wound on her left ribs. Isaiah felt the tears in his eyes spill away onto his cheeks. "Why, Elena? What happened? Why did you have to push me away?"He heard a faint rustling of brea
