CASSANDRA

NATHAN'S POV

I've searching for two days. I've gone through every nook and cranny of Tennessee. I even ran to California and New York. I've not even found her. I'm tired.

"I still can't find her." I say when I come in the house for the eleventh time in the hour.

"We'll find her Nathan." Karen says.

"Don't tell me that, okay! This wouldn't have happened if you and whoever didn't think about a damn stupid project this wouldn't happen!" I yell. We just stood there while she was taken aback by what I said. I don't know why I felt guilty. I don't know what part she played in this so it's not fair to blame.

"I'm sorry Karen. I don't know why I did that. You got to understand okay. I'm confused right now and I can't really deal with this guy and now Ava's missing and who knows she might die or give up my identity and come after you guys. I'm sorry I'm just tired I guess." I say exhausted and confused.

"I know. You've done the best you can. I'm gonna make a call to a few friends to see if they can help. Just go and rest a bit. You go have a drink or  something just don't come to my house drunk. You need it." She said picking her keys from the Holo board/table we found out about recently.

"Where's Sandra?"

"She went to a friend to pick up some notes and meet with the cheerleaders a bit. They are having an all night party."

"She went in this condition?"

"Of course not I forced her ass out of here. Which is the same thing I'm going to do to you. Now get out."

"That's not a nice way of putting that."

" I wasn't trying to be. Now go."

"Yes ma'am. Can at least take a quick shower and a jacket."

"Ten seconds."

"You don't literally mean that right?"

"Ten. . ."

"That's not fair. You wouldn't give a normal human that little time."

"Your not normal. Nine. . ."

"Fine. Wicked mom." I say and zoom out. Thirty minutes later I find myself drinking in a club. The Golden party joint that I used to come to with Cassandra. Cassandra was ex but she was really smart so she got into college a  two years ahead of the normal. This were times I really wish she were here. The only girls I really didn't get for just sex but for something more. Someone taps me in the shoulder. I turn to see who it is.

CASSANDRA'S POV

When I came to Tennessee this week there was a lot of really bad stuff going on and I guessed there would be trouble if I went out but I did not expect what happened tonight.

When I came into Golden Party club with a couple of my girls that came home with me to see what Tennessee was like, I went to order a drink at the bar. I take a stool.

"What can I get you beautiful?" The bartender asks.

"Just a shot of whiskey will do. You look good too."

"Thanks babe. One shot of whiskey coming right up." He said then left. I really meant what I said. He looked really hot. I miss this place, all the guys here we're always hot but lacked a good bedside manner. I look around the club while waiting. I see a guy two seats away from my right hand side. I don't know why but his eyes kinda catches my attention. They are green as in sparkly green and he has an ebony skin tone like someone I remember. I go and tap his shoulder to see him or what he looks like. If he's cute I might as well carry a man home tonight. When he looks to face me I see his face and I can never forget who that face belongs to.

"Nathan!" He doesn't seem to recognize me but I can recognize him even though his on dreads now. He made it look just like xxxtentacion's.

"Cassandra!" I ran up to him and hugged him. It's not everyday you get to see your ex boyfriend. Boy he changed.

"Hello Nathan. What you still doing here?"

"Drinking. The only thing I'm missing is some pills to drown the liquor with."

"I thought you said you quit that stuff?"

"I did but no off these things is helping to get me out of this world. It's just filling up my belly."

"I thought you told me that this pills aren't the way out off your problems? Now your drinking and sounding like you want to die" I said raising a brow.

"Well I was stupid."I know something's up not just the stuff on the news.

"So what happened to you that makes you wanna put all your sorrows in pills tonight?" I asked collecting my drink from the bartender. It's a pity I won't be having him tonight he really looks good.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me." He told me everything that happened to him from my childhood up until now that leads to present events.

"So this shit happening to you started from when you were little. With the death of your mom or maybe when you where born with the other one or even before that." I asked. The news was just plain when narrating this but this just explained to me was on a different level of complicated.

"Okay after what you explained here. I can tell there is a lot of mystery behind this story. More than what the news can see." I know I'm a little tipsy from all the drinking I've been doing but what he told me was so depressing.

"I'm not going to stop you from taking the pills again. This story is really depressing." I said.

"Yeah." He said still in thought. I wanted to go home with a guy in my bed and now I'm with his problem. He stood up all of a sudden. Men, were those eyes glowing. It's just like gems in there.

"What's wrong? where are you going?"

"Your tipsy Cass and you usually do stupid stuff around people when your in that state so best not to become a victim." He said but most of my concentration was on his lips. Looks really juicy.

"But you already are." I said standing up and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Cass you've had too much let's rest."

"But I can rest in your arms right. You let me before."

"How did we end up doing this."

"It's because you look as hot as hell that's what got you here."

"So it's my fault." I won't lie he's a little tipsy himself because he's been taking a little bit of esctasy with the tequila but it's gonna wear off but by the time it wears off I would have been in the middle of the process and he won't be able to stop that.

"Oh yes it is. Next time try not to be so hot." I say then kiss him. We can't always be good children right? He returns the kiss immediately and so our journey starts to the bed

THE NEXT DAY

************************************

I wake up in a room not mine and Nathan isn't by my side.

Oh my God! My head aches like fuck. I drank too much.

I find Nathan's jacket from last night. Maybe we where in his house. The room did look the same as the last time I was here. I try to get up from the bed.

Ow! How hard did he hit me. I feel sore all over. I can't even move.

I lie down on the bed back because I can't move. He gives it good but it's terrible the next day. Speed is a really nice power. Really useful in all areas. It feels like electric current passing through me when we do this.

I sleep and after an hour or two I'm up. I hear yelling downstairs.

"You can't just bring another girl to the house and fuck." That's what I hear from the stairs

"Why are you so mad about this I've brought different girls home and you've been comfortable with that."

"This time Ava is involved."

"It's not like I'm dating her or whatever."

"So your telling me you don't like her?"

"Did I give you a hint that I did?"

"You are really annoying." This is a typical Nathan and Sandra fight and that I know because they do this all the time while I was dating Nathan.

"That's because I'm better." Nathan said.

"So if Ava was hear you would be okay with fucking another one night stand.

"You don't even know who I brought. You just saw a bra on a couch doesn't mean anything." I chuckled a bit

"Of course it means something. If only mom was here."

"Too bad for you." I think it's time I come down.

NATHAN'S POV

"You two never ceases to amuse me." Cassandra says while coming downstairs.

"So it's Cassandra. Hello happy bitch." Sandra said

"Nice morning to you to grumpy bitch." Cassandra retorted.

"What a nice way for two frenemies to greet each other."

"We don't need to hear that from you speed dick." They said in unison.

"I'm not even gonna join this insult media." I say because if I joined this stuff I would be the dead man not them now.

Cassandra was wearing my bathrobe black which I will say suited her fair chocolate skin color and black hair with brown eyes and round face. She was looking at something on Sandra for some reason.

"Sandra is that. . . A hickey on your neck?" Immediately I looked at Sandra then bust a fit of laughter.

"Look at the person scolding me. Hypocrite." I said.

"It's not like that." She said guilty

"Listen Sandra last night was a horny night so deal with it and both of you should disturb the peace of this blessed morning." Cass said and I wasn't one to object.

"By the way you didn't tell me you liked this Ava girl." She said to me.

"If you weren't so drunk last night I think you would have seen that."

"See you admitted it." Sandra said with a grin on her face. A victorious one.

"I hate you girls sometimes. I'm gonna start the first search for the day." I said.

"I'll help you guys look for her. Let just get my stuff and luggage to this place." I get confused immediately

"What do you need luggage for?"

"I'm moving here for my break."

"What?"

"Yeah that would be great more girl time for both of us." Sandra said.

"Yeah baby." Cass said while shaking her ass. Was that supposed to be a celebratory dance or what?

"What kind of frenemies are you both?"

After a couple hours of searching I got a call from Cassandra.

"Hello."

"Come home now I've got something important to tell you." She said frustrated and scared. How can two girls that I know that are fearless beings suddenly become scared by sudden incidents. I just hope it's nothing that bad because I already know it's bad.

I rush to the house. Karen is already there trying to calm Sandra.

"How bad is it?" I ask no one in particular. Cassandra looks up

"He said I'm next in line."

"Who?"

"Who else but your fucking psycho." There was a large bag of rage swelling in my head right now. What in fucking blazes could they do to a guy that gets him as vexed like this? Once I find him I swear he's gonna pay.

"What the hell did you guys ever do to him?"

"I'd like you to answer that question Karen because I don't know the answer. Don't even think of finding an excuse because I'm really pissed right now." I say

"I can't say. It's a secret project."

"Your Goddamn secret project has killed four people now."

"Actually six. A member of the Illuminados has died."

"Who is the sixth?"

"Some one you don't want to know."

"WHO? AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ILLUMINADOS?!" I'm letting my anger get the better of me.

"She's not allowed to let you know that yet." A voice said from the bar in the living room.  A bottle of champagne was on the air in a position as if someone was drinking it and someone was literally drinking it because the bottle became empty. The bottle then fell on the ground. I know there were always inhumans in Tennessee but I didn't think there were people with these kind of power. People usually die when they have these powers because of the inability of their brain to comprehend the power and control it from draining the entire body but this inhumans coming out lately were all incredible.

"Karen orders from above. They found new coordinates for Miss Chrisland's locale. It might be correct or wrong we don't know but this is our last attempt in helping you." The invisible man hands over the paper. After a few minutes the footsteps of the voice we heard disappeared.

"What the fuck is our lives turning to?" Sandra said and let out a groan of frustration.

Ding Ding!

That was the sound of the gate's door bell. We went to the gate. It was a man standing there.

"How can I help you?" I asked I take a look at the man and there is something weird about his appearance. He chuckled.

"Message from The Psycho." He gave a note to me and collapsed. The ladies immediately tried to help him but I was more interested in the note.

"I can see your ex is back in town. Really beautiful babe. Your speed dick was a lot of help in finding her so I gonna warn you before I do what I do. I'm gonna kill Ava publicly on the media so find me before I kill her and you can take her. I just wanna have a little chat with you.

                                                      Psycho."

Fuck!

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This was a really thrilling episode if you ask me.

What do you think is Nathan's childhood story that leads up to this point find out. Thanks.
