Ava couldn't stop herself from the excitement that she finally will see Andrew alone, and that she was not day dreaming about him wanting to meet her. She sneaked out under her sister's graze, Leah eyes were fixed towards the window but she seemed asleep which was good… she can slip out without being caught.
Ava with a wide smile on her face, she follows the direction of Andrew at the meeting place. It was near the East side of the abounded building…..it is known as 'hook up hat' most teens go there for adult fun and that made Ava's excitement over the roof. She hurried her pace....
When she arrived the place was so quiet and dark..it seems no one was there, she waited on the entrace of the torn wooden door which was slightly open and through the light of the moon that penetrated the door she can see that no one would be inside as no sane person would be sitting in the dark alone at that place.
All the excitement was gone, maybe it was just a prank for Andrew…..she should just leave the place.
Before she could leave she heard voices at the backyard of the building and not one voice but dozen like people are arguing about something...like always curious and her detective mode activated, she wants to know what was happening there.
She approached the voice with caution
"We can't kill her now" a female voice which was a high pitch said
" But that is the best solution for our safety….people's safety" a horsy voice sound like an old man said back
"But are you sure we will kill the right one?… come on we don't even know their ability yet" the same female voice again.
She continued "we should wait to know which one is valuable to us maybe she will be a Shannar"
"We can not trust the blood of monsters, she needs to die" a male voice sounds very familiar but she couldn't remember where she heard it
"agreed she saw what happened the other night" another female voice different from the first one chimed in
"But….she could be the one" the first voice
"ENOUGH!….. there is no need for this discussion" a male voice very familiar voice.
The voice that always threatens her and Leah not to disobey orders unless they want to be beaten by the stick, the voice that belong to the person who never respond to their greeting and that voice always demand them to train hard 'swing your sword harder' that was his favorite sentence ....Their father...wait is she dreaming?.
The voice counties "they both need to die, we can't delay any longer…..as agreed we kill them tonight"
She was confused in what is wrong with these people, they want to kill people..they talk about them how many people they're going to kill tonight….what in the world was going on? This can't be real….. yes she loves to play detective but not like this never about killing a living .
She was still there at the side of a narrow wall if they stop their argument someone will eventually see her. She needs to leave and tell Leah about this and maybe they can come up with ideas of saving 'them' people tonight…she should hurry.
The moment she turns she steps on a dry wood and it product a crack sound … the voices stopped and she heard her father asking "who is there?"
Before she could think of anything her leg made the decision for her she bolt from there and she heard foot steps followed her. She runs faster than a horse but at every turn she feels like there is someone one step behind her, she didn't look back she kept on running until all she could smell was her stick sweat running down from her back to her butts.
She runs harder and faster because lives depended on her legs, until she didn't know which turn led her inside a forest that smelled like fresh butcher meat, she crouch down for air to breath and she heard a voice behind her in a flight she fell down.
"Leah, you run….like a cheater"
wait…what ? Andrew, was he one of them?.
"Andrew!?" She whispers
Andrew held out his hand for her so she can have support to stand but she couldn't process that Andrew was one of them.
"Yes!….well that was a compliment, you can run like real run"
Ava was still on the glitter in her mind she didn't understand what is happening.
"Oh!" Andrew sighs "Okay, i know your situation is really bad….but believe me when i say i am not one of them"
Ava mind is working in speed because she does not want to believe she actually likes a killer.
"Leah please, let's not make this harder for either of us....i was behind you all this time" he said
"What is going on? Please tell me this is just a bad dream and in the morning everything is going back to normal"
"Leah, i called you there so that you can see for yourself well in your case hear for yourself that, the man you call father is the monster" He smirks he seems to enjoy this.
"What?" She does not understand a word he says because everything is upside down in her head
"Listen, I ruled you there purposely so you can know your father's plan is to kill you and Ava tonight" He speaks like he expects her to understand what he was saying
"Kill us?…." Her eyes pop out widely "how?,why us"
Andrew knell down "Look i need to get you out of here….your not safe here" he place his hand on her kneel "Your people awaits your return"
She jointed away from him "what are you talking about?….me? ..Leah?"
Yes…beacause of what she saw that night, so 'them' was not people it was her and her sister
"O my! ….Leah"
"You can trust me…you will be safe with me"
Andrew is still talking but she couldn't hear him, her sister was still sleeping soundly at their father's house she needs to go and get her….what is she going to do…..she was running without thinking and now she was far from the house.
She needs to get her sister out of the house….maybe she shouldn't trust Andrew but he is the only person she was with and she needs to get to her sister.
"So we can go home" Andrew was still talking but she wasn't listening at all
"Okay, but help me get my sister first…please!" She begged her eyes are stuffed with unshed tears
"Oh! Finally we understood each other" he exclaimed in excitement
He held out his hand again and this time she took the helping hand and stood up....dusting her behind and be ready to start running again but this time is to get her sister.
But when she started to lift her limp she went down like a rag…her body seemed to loose all the power she had and her muscles couldn't function anymore.
What was wrong with her?..she darted her eyes to Andrew and she understood everything…she was tricked this bastard poison her.
"A-nd—r-e" her mouth becomes heavy she couldn't even utter a full word
"Sorry Leah, i need to do this so the journey won't be long "
She wanted to say save her sister and help but all she could utter were nonsense
"Oh! By the way my real name is Shwan"
In a blick of an eye, the boy stood before her is no longer a boy…..but a man…..a beautiful man with a dark hair, a long nose, eyes like dolls and a thin lips with chocolate sunkissed skin tall and very manly features, stood before her with a smirk on his face.
Nonsense sounds left her mouth again which she meant "Who are you?".
