Blades & Roses

Blood. Blood was dripping from my forehead. Panting, I tried to catch my breath. For a minute, I was tempted to look back and see if the Japanese Yakuza was chasing after me. I muttered a curse, trudging through the quiet street, making sure to hide in the shadows, avoiding all streetlights. Stupid Japanese Mafia Boss and his claim to rule the mafia world. But I will never let him. Not after killing my entire family. Thinking about them, a brief flashback of my father screaming for me to flee before a bullet passed through his head, instantly ending his life, appeared in my line of vision. I clenched my hands into fists, sadness and fury burning inside me. I will make sure that the Japanese Mafia will pay for what they did. I will avenge my father. My family. From this day forward, they have declared war. And war they shall have. *** Cover Image from Google

Re-visiting our past

MARY

Placing a hand over her lips, Margaux hushed me to stay silent. From where we were hiding behind the bush of their backyard garden, Felix, their gardener was busily tending to the red roses that are in full bloom.

Sprinkling water and humming a classic song which I remembered my mother would sometimes hum herself, he was unaware of what we were about to do.

I put a hand over my mouth, hiding my giggle and not giving away our location.

I would bet that he didn't even know we were actually watching him.

His graying hair shone in the morning light. The blue checkered shirt he was always wearing has long faded. Along with his blue jeans and scrubs, Felix looked the part of a normal gardener.

However, being the gardener for the Cortez for almost half his life, I think it was safe to conclude that he was more than just a gardener.

Ever since I had known Margaux, Felix has been there.
