BAD DAY

The bullet passed Myles and hit the wall. Lola dropped the gun in fear.

Myles instantly launched at her and Lola shrunk in fright.

"Don't kill me…please "Lola whimpered as he caged her against the drawer.

Myles was boiling inside but he didn't know why he couldn't do anything to her right now.

Lola was shivering and saying her last prayers inwardly. She was expecting a slap or gunshot to her head but nothing came.

She suddenly heard water running, Lola slowly peeked and saw that Myles was no longer with her but in the bathroom. No wonder his scent disappeared a bit.

'Did he just spare me?' Lola thought in shock.

Lola jumped over the gun and ran out of the room before he could reappear and change his mind.

After some time in the bathroom, Myles came out with no surprise on his face when he realized she had left.

He exhaled sharply and went to pick up his gun. He kept it in the drawer where it was supposed to be.

Myles tugged off the towel from his waist and changed into his night clothes. He pulled the other part of the drawer and brought out his sleeping pills.

He sauntered over to the other side of the bed and took a glass of water from the jug.

He swallowed the pills and many thoughts then went through his mind. His thoughts about Anita, Summer's mom.

He didn't even know her whereabouts or if she was dead or alive. He had tried looking for her everywhere but it was like she had completely vanished and even if she was dead, he wanted to at least see her grave and know it's her.

Her fifteen years old face had been haunting him since that time and it hadn't stopped. Meeting that man today, triggered everything. From the abuse...

He threw the glass of water against the wall and it shattered.

"Argh!"

Slaves' quarters>

Allison's wolf wouldn't help churning in excitement at the sight of her mate. If only she could tell him.

She was a werewolf, but she had managed non shifting for a long time now. It had been long since she shifted into her wolf form.

"Good…evening…master" Allison greeted.

Lance chuckled "Don't call me master, I am not Myles "

Allison chuckled at his humor.

" Just call me Lance "Lance smiled at Allison. "I am here to see someone"

"Someone?" Allison said, curiously.

"Her name is Lola" Lance said and Allison was stunned but didn't ask further questions.

"Okay" Allison smiled and went to call Lola.

Lola rushed out to see Myles.

"Can we talk?" Lance requested and she nodded.

Lance stepped aside with her and it displeased Allison's wolf a lot, that it almost set her on edge.

'Kira , control yourself;Allison is my friend. She would never hurt us'

'I hope so'

***

"How are you associated with the evil bastard?" Lola whispered, angrily.

"That's not what is important" Lance disregarded her rants. "The important question is how did you get here?"

"Don't answer a question with another question" Lola snapped.

Lance's face palmed.

"I need to know if you really want my help"

Lola sighed in defeat. She really needed help to get out of here.

"My…boyfriend actually sold me," Lola replied with a quivering voice.

"What!"

"isn't he the one you talk about almost every time, just to chase me away from you?"

Lola nodded.

Lance was extremely shocked. "I'm so sorry, he's such an animal and a scumbag"

" Who does that to the woman who loves him that much?. I wish I knew him, so that I would beat him to an unrecognizable state "

Lola fought back her tears as he spoke.

"I'm so sorry"

Lance pulled her into a hug even though she didn't really want to hug him but she honestly needed an embrace right now.

" I am sorry. I promise to do all that I can to get you out of here" Lance promised and pecked her hair.

Lola smiled a bit because of his promise then she hugged him back tightly, burying her face in his chest.

Lance was shocked by their closeness, her b**bs were literally pressing hardly against his chest. He could feel her heartbeat so closely.

Lance smiled happily.

'She's finally liking me back. I really have to get her out of hereʼ Lance thought with an excited smile on his lips.

Daphne's house>

Her house was in complete shambles. Everywhere was totally disorganized.

Shawn was sitting on the floor, crying and drinking in sorrow.

"How could she do this to me?I loved her," Shawn wailed as he drowned himself in his cheap beer.

"Daphne!!!"

He was holding a note in his hand and in it was written.

Dear Shawn.

I know that you would be extremely devastated by this note but I want to tell you that I have departed to Paris tonight. I can't be with a person who would sell his girlfriend for money. I am aware that we broke Lola but I didn't expect you to go to the extent of selling a human being.

If you could do that to Lola who loved you with all heart and treated you with so much love, what of me, who has done nothing but to benefit from you.

I can't risk my life with someone like you. I still love you, that was why I withdrew the money in your credit card for my travel.

Since I can't be with you, your money would make up for it. Take heart, my love.

Yours affectionately, Daph.

Shawn read the note again and burst into louder tears.

"Daphne!!!, I am going to kill you!!!" Shawn cried loudly.

"All my money, my ten thousand dollars, credit cards, even my expensive clothes and watch, Ah!!!" Shawn wailed and began rolling cowardly on the floor.

"My ten thousand dollars!"

Ballard high school> next day.

Molly reached school and was eager to meet with Jake but he was weirdly distant with her..

She reached her locker and looked at him but he didn't even bother staring at her like he always did.

" Jake "Molly called.

Jake didn't respond or even spare her a glance. He walked away like he didn't hear her.

Molly's heart ached that he did that. Did he just kiss her and then dump her?.

Molly kept her bag in her locker and her face saddened.

She went to class and stared at Jake but he refused to look at her and it was incredibly upsetting.

It was like she was too irritating for him to gaze at but he said she was beautiful, why was he acting this way?.

The English teacher walked in and they greeted him.

Meanwhile Molly's attention was still on Jake who refused to acknowledge her gaze.

Nathaniel smirked at everything that played down before him.

*****

Hunt's mansion>

"Myles, is it possible to buy back a slave from you?" Lance questioned.

"Why are you asking?"

"Nothing," Lance shrugged.

"If you want a slave back from me then you would have to carry that slave's dead body out of here because they have seen too much" Myles replied.

Lance swallowed hard as he listened to him.

After a few minutes of erring silence between them, Lance spoke.

"I am so happy that I live here now," Lance chuckled. "You really have taste, Myles"

Myles ignored him and continued sharpening the sword with him.

"Or should I say isaiah?"

Lance was stunned when a sword flew towards him, he luckily dodged it and it passed over his head.

"Myles, are you mad?" Lance yelled and stood straight to face him.

There was only anger and fury written all over Myles' face.

" There are a lot of things that I don't know about you. When we met, you were seventeen and your name wasn't Isaiah but Myles" Lance yelled.

" That was my pub name, we met at the pub remember. You were just a waiter and I was a s*x…" Myles swallowed hard as those words almost escaped his lips.

"I used that name because they weren't going to accept a Christian like name or my birth name. I don't want to ever bear that name again because it brought nothing but misery to me!" Myles shrieked and went to pick up the sword.

"You almost killed me," Lance said, feeling hurt by it.

Even though Myles didn't mean to react like that and felt sorry about it. He still went back to what he was doing like nothing happened.

"I can't believe this" Lance hissed and stormed out of there.

Ballard high school>

Molly needed some time to think about what had been happening since she came to school.

Jake was avoiding her and suddenly he disappeared.

Molly walked into the forest like she always did. She simply had to fly over the fence of the school then walk into the forest to sometimes cry and have some quiet time. She came most times, during lunch break.

Molly sighed while walking through the scanty trees.

"Why are you doing this Jake, you are hurting me" Molly muttered but suddenly something passed.

She flung her eyes open but saw nothing.

She wanted to settle down near her usual tree when something large jumped on another tree.

"Aah" Molly shrieked and looked up to see something that scared her.

It had yellow eyes and gray hairs and scary fangs with claws.

Molly shook in fear.

It suddenly growled and almost jumped on her but she ran.

"Aahhh!!! "

"Someone help!!!" Molly screamed and ran as fast as she could.

It ran after her in an uncontrollable thirst for blood.

"Arrrr!!!"

Molly suddenly tripped and turned to see the creature.

"Aahhh!!!" She screamed as it pounced on her.

Slave' quarters.

"The master is looking for his expensive watch in which he kept in drawer and the guards are going to search everywhere"Hennessy announced and there was chattering everywhere.

" Who would have taken it? "

" That person has some audacity "

" Silence!Let the search begin".

They searched the slaves' and servants' rooms but there was nothing there.

They walked into Lola's room with the other girls.

"There is nothing here" Allison said but a glare from Hennessy instantly shut her up.

Lola wasn't worried at all because she might have stolen a few things in the past but that was in the past.

Cherry stood aside with a wicked smile on her bruised lips.

"We found it" One of the guards said and raised the watch.

Lola's eyes widened in shock because they had found the expensive watch under her bed.

Hennessy took the watch and turned to Lola.

"I don't know how that got there, believe me" Lola yelled in desperation.

"Oh really?" Hennessy smirked.

"She stole the watch"

"She has some guts"

"Thief"

Those were whispers from other slaves.

"Miss Hennessy, I swear that I didn't steal that watch," Lola said with tears brimming in her eyes.

"You were the last to go into sir Myles room. Guards take her away" Hennessy ordered and two men went to grab Lola.

"I didn't take anything, believe me" Lola cried out as she was being dragged.

"She's in for death"

"That's the reward of greed"

"She was pretty feisty.

" Poor her "

Cherry's smile broadened.

'I never knew that revenge tasted so sweet'. Cherry thought sinisterly.
