Ch13 Memories

The sun rays filled the room lighting up the chilly atmosphere. She opened her eyes to the empty room feeling sore and hot all over, it was worse than a hangover.

"Where'd he go?" She asked herself trying to walk on her weak legs to the bathroom. She soaked herself in the bathtub to relieve her soreness and drifted to sleep. The sound of footsteps got louder disturbing Hano's sleep, she opened her eyes and from what she heard it wasn't just one person in the room.

"A presidential candidate is needed since Arnold is off now." The first familiar voice said.

"We don't really have political power, should we just use Hano?" A feminine voice replied.

"Worry about your injury first. I have no intention of using anybody and I don't want to be President or whatever so just let anyone do what they want just that they should stay off my turf." Rey replied sitting on a chair facing the mirror.

Hano wrapped a towel around her and walked into the room after listening to their conversation.

"Then I want to be President." She said boldly staring at Rey directly.

"Y.....you, why are you here. This is Rey's room." Ciara flinched on seeing Hano in a towel.

"Why are you flustered by the fact that she's here? She owns this place doesn't she?" Rey replied smirking as he stood and walked over to Hano.

"I want to be President since I have so much power a lot of people covet." Hano stated bluntly sitting on the bed.

"But still-" Ciara wanted to talk as Hano cut her short.

"Is this the respect you give your boss's master?" She said crossing her legs.

**For some reason I feel bold.... It feels familiar.** Hano thought watching as Ciara was out of words.

"I trained you better than this didn't I Ciara? Miss. Hano still is due for respect, we're still underlings to her just a little bit big." Rey replied trying to read Hano's emotionless expression.

"I'm sorry." Ciara apologized leaving the room pissed off with Todd.

"I don't get why Rey would want that bitch!" Ciara mumbled gritting her teeth.

"You're just jealous Rey doesn't accept your feelings. Even after abandoning everything and joining this dark side for him" Todd replied after hearing her mumble.

"Shut up! What do you know?!" Ciara barked storming off.

"Mmmhn, I wonder why she's so pissed. Maybe it's her time of the month." Todd thought finding Ciara's angry behavior unreasonable.

She sat in the car placing her chin on the car window. She closed her eyes and memories started to flood in.

"Please, just help me! I'll do anything! I'll pay you back please leave my sister I'm begging you!" The helpless girl pleaded crying loudly while watching her sister being molested while she was held down by two strong men.

"Then your body should be enough too." The dark man's voice replied watching the girl beg for her sister.

"Please, I'll pay you back just let her go!" She shouted again and a loud gunshot sounded making the man molesting her sister drop dead.

"I hate filthy animals." A chill voice said striding into the room with two men following him in.

"Mr....Mr. Rey-" The dark man stammered shaking in fear.

"Keep my name out of the shitty little hole of yours!" Rey said in disgust giving him a cold glare.

"I was.....I was just...." He tried to explain stammering as he fell on his knees in front of Rey.

"I wonder what punishment a shitty little asshole like you deserves- I'll let the girl decide." Rey said tossing a gun to the little girl who was shaking like a leaf in fear.

"Do you want him to live for-" Rey almost completed as the girl picked the gun up and shot the man continuously even after he had dropped dead. Rey was somewhat terrified by the girl's action, he was amused.

"Enough." He finally said when the girl kept pulling the trigger even after all the bullets had been used up. She rushed over to her sister's exhausted and motionless body shaking her vigoursly.

"Please! Please be okay! Call an ambulance please!" She shouted crying and hugging her sister's body tightly..............

A tap on the window woke her up looking outside she saw Rey.

"Why are you here after dumping me for her?" She asked trying to hide her sad tone.

"We've been over this already. Stop doing pointless things and just focus on why you're here Ciara. You need to rest so go back to the clinic. I'll have you admitted to a VIP room." Rey replied walking off.

"Then stop doing things like this. You know, it makes it more difficult to not like you." She shouted from the car.

"Then handing you a gun was one of my worst mistakes." Rey stopped and replied not looking back.

**I should never have made you into this Ciara, I've made you a monster, a devil waiting to fully manifest.** Rey thought as he zoned out and memories started to flood in....................

He walked into the room filled with lifeless bodies on the floor with a woman standing at the center of the room.

"What have you done!?" He shouted grabbing her arm.

"Boss, garbage like them don't deserve to live for another day. I was just getting rid of everyone who got on your nerves." She replied smiling purely at Rey. He was terrified by the woman standing in front of him, the men she killed were human traffickers who sold debt owing women to perverted old men who did all sorts of things to them.

He couldn't forget the look in her eyes, she felt no remorse at all like she was a devil.
