Escape The Edge(4th Chapter)
I entered the mafias territory in the midst of the night.
"Welcome Phyra."
One of the armed guards greeted on the gate before he opened it for me.
Phyra, that's my codename. And you know what it means.
I walked inside and I was welcomed by a tall face detecting door.
After my face was rummaged, I walked inside, it's a little bit dimmed by the light on the upper part of the house.
I took the grand staircase, this building is huge and has a classic wooden structure, but since it's already midnight, I can't clearly see the interior beauty of it.
There's nothing here except my presence, just empty halls and closed rooms.
I took another staircase, and that led me to the roof top.
The cold wind hit my face and blew my hair. I saw him, reading a book with some guards on his side.
I put my hand inside my short's pocket under the dress. Gripping the money inside and hoping for the best, and that my idea would work despite it's uncertainty. I might look like desperate, but note, this is for my life.
I love this place, within holds the most unforgettable memories of my life, my every firsts. Earliest indelible trauma that made me who I am. Unforgettable scenes that made me shell-shocked, playing in my head every night like a nightmare. PTSD is not a stranger to me.
Tall and cold facade. I love these two.
Yes, I killed someone, I don't remorse, I only knew that I learned everytime I cry to my own wrongfulness. I trained my self to turn pain and cruelty into power.
I've never experienced killing a human in front of me.
His guards caught my attention. And that made Mr. Craig too.
I knew, my money isn't enough to relieve his fury to me.
He frowned at me like he was already skinning me alive.
"How much do you want Mr. Craig."
I said not in a question. This territory that I used to escaped was now the place that I missed.
"Phyra, it's not about money anymore, it's about your life. We already warned you at the very start that once you entered the organization, you won't gonna get away so easily, and besides, we have rules, we all know that anyone who leave the group must be killed."
His armed guards walked closer to me.
"No, you can't do that"
"And why?"he said then he stood and gave a sign to his man to stop. I see Alfin just standing watching us while playing dart with Kyle and Kathlyn.
Alfin is just staring at me with his blank face.
"Remember? I saved your team and that made you more relevant from the other Genovese mafia. I am not saying that you're insignificant before I came. I am stressing the fact that I enhanced your capabilities..."
I honestly don't know what to say right now, but I'll do anything to change his mind. Whatever, I'll resume talking.
"Since Mr. Genovese assigned me here, our group accumulated respect. And it snowballed and catapulted in clusters of countries in U.K. in just half a year, remember Mr. Craig, I'm your best sniper before."
I almost ruined everything just by ranting.
Yes, I'm the 7th highest paid mafia sniper back then. The Genovese mafia was consistent to their current place until I came up and made them ranked up to the highest. See the range of my skill that makes my name float in the world of shooting targets and guns. All of my loots, I donated all of 'em to good ol'charities.
Time passed, my name is now burried in thick soil. Thick list of new mobile players in the game.
"Yes you've been my best sniper before, but not now. There's more efficient and loyal than you and I already found her."
There's no better sniper than me except Roman O'connell. And I can't help my self to brag about my assumptios. Roman is the highest ranked male sniper of Europe.
Mr. Craig walked closer to me and put his right hand on his back then returned it with a gun. He raise his hand until it equally reach my forehead.
How could he just waste my life?
"You're good Phyra, in shooting and observing but when it comes to attitude, you're a loser...you're weak, boastful and a traitor. I'm sorry but you deserve to die."
I felt a sudden pain to my left arm.
He pulled the trigger as I close my eyes.
But then, the door banged opened just behind Alfin.
A handsome man enter the show with his black shiny hair. And he's half naked revealing his 6 packs abdomen.
I remember something just seeing this guy half naked.
Our eyes met, we stare at each other for a second, and I don't know, but the pain suddenly deteriorated.
He smiled at me then he turned to Mr. Craig.
"Dawson wants to see you"
"Why?"
He said in annoyance.
"Don't ask much, just at the same place, now, and I'll come with you for your security."he said while having a blank expression.
Mr. Craig let out a deep sigh.
"Alright"
The man look at me again and gave me a short smile and I saw a glimpse of his pale green color eyes. I remained blank. Maybe he think I'm rude. But no, I just felt weird.
Mr. Craig walked out with teed-offed face, he got down the stairs and followed by the man who have the pale green eyes, before he could go down, I realized that he has leaf tattoos crawling on his left hand.
I persist silent while thinking about his tatt.
"Hey Phyra, stop staring at the floor. Leave now while Mr. Craig is out and do not come back again. Hide at your best and we'll handle the rest."Kyle said.
I cleared my troath.
"Thanks."I said in disbelief. Sorry for thinking that you're all heartless. After all the competition we had, I thought you wouldn't care and just watch me die.
He smiled in return.
"We'll miss you, Phyra."Kath said walking closer in front of me.
Kyle and Kath gave me a short hug while I frown at Alfin.
"Psh. Cut that drama."Alfin
---------------------------------
After my last moment in the mafia, I decided schooling again.
My morning was smooth, no trash talking mouths.
But it was a bit odd today.
I'm walking with my resting b face when my eyes caught a scene, smells like scandalous crap. Students we're gathered and seemed excited in the gate when a huge and impeccably smooth as hell lambo made an entrance.
I didn't bother to take a closer look.I just watched them people afar, spotting for the human inside the lambo to step outside.
Hoping they're human.
Students pick they're own phones to take a shot at the inexpensive car. Pathetic people.
After a moment, the car doors opened and four individuals came out.
One's a gorgeous lookin' girl with curly and blonde hair, nice big red lips, fair skin, and she's lookin' sexy with her hot as hell school uniform.
With her we're three model looking males.
The first man was the tallest among them and has nice well structured face. He wrapped his arms around the girl's waist. That gave me a hint about their relationship.
The second male was a bit more serious looking man. He had that broad shoulders and shoulder length brown hair. He walked like a strong man.
The third one was more to the softer side, he's an ash white haired boy with a flirtatious smile.
They all looked like Seniors.
They walked together, I guess heading to the office or something.
They're new, maybe transferees or just actors making a show.
But seriously? They're all like a Hollywood celebrities that was lost in the middle of a school.
I just tilted my head and made my way to my room. Trying hard to be normal as I can.
I opened the classroom door and I was welcomed by my noisy and messy fellow. I arrived perfectly 7:30. And it was the first time I attend school without a teacher discussing in front.
They all gave me a blank stare for a moment and continued talking again. I head towards my seat and sit there quietly.
I just want to make things new and fresh right now. I want to see the new perspective, much more now that I'd already loss the grip to the organization. But that doesn't mean I'm already free, Mr. Craig will continue hunting me.
"Hey good morning."
I looked up and saw the angelic faced girl again.
"Good morning."
I answered shortly.
She sat beside my chair that gave me more access to her face. Now I realized that her features weren't angelic, she had that sharp edges, sharp eyes, nose and jaw, a little wavy brown hair that reminds me of the girl from POTC Keira Knightley.
"I'm Kyrene."
"Selene."
I responded. Trying to be as friendly as I can.
"So how was your day?"
She asked looking at me with her hand on her cheek supporting the weight of her head.
"So far so good."
I looked back to her with a blank expression. At least I am genuine.
"Heard about the four transferees?"
She added still looking at me. I noticed her clothes. She's always wearing a jacket.
"Yeah."
Of course.
"I'll kill them."
I look back at her face trying to see if she's serious on what she just said.
But she's dead serious and I can feel it. I can sense the ambience, something's wrong and immenent.
"One last wrong move and I will end their lives."
She said and now she's staring in the window beside me. I didn't expect what she'd say and the way she act right now.
I don't know if I am the only one who felt the pressure. Few moments past and we heard the doorknob open.
"Good morning everyone. So today, I will be introducing to you, your new classmate."
The class started to make noise like they were a horde of hungry cows.
"Who could that be?"
A girl from behind asked her seat mate.
"Our new slave?"
Another responded.
Here comes the bullies who think they're superior, the truth is, they're just a piece of cringes amd shits living the protagonist life of their childhood movie.
"Oh shut up Ember, It will be my new buddy."
My male classmate with a brown hair said.
"Please come in."
Mr. Maxx said before the door open.
A teenage boy with a glasses came in.
"Ohhh!"
"Yeah, as to what I just said. He's my new buddy!"
"Meet your new classmates Mr. please make an entrance."
We keep the silence to make him introduce his own.
"Uhm. I-I'm Ferd Calibre."
"Pfft."
"Haha! You funny buddy Ferdie!"
"Eww."
"Yeah, enjoy your new buddy."
"Silence!"
Mr. Maxx said to end their fantasies to this new transferee.
"Mr. Calibre, I see no seat available. Go to the gymnasium and get your chair. Go back immediately, I'm going to discuss another new lesson."
"Y..yes sir."
He bowed his head then he turned his back to us and started his way to the gym.
He closed the door so silent.
"That boy. He's too weird."
Mr. Maxx said while getting ready for a discussion.
"Sure he is."
My female classmate respond.
After a couple of minutes waiting for the transferee, Mr. Maxx checked the attendance.
Adding a new piece of name in his advisory class.
Finally, Mr. Ferd got here before the last name was called. He forgot to lock the room's door. He's carrying his chair. Waiting for the the command of the teacher in front.
"Oh yes. There you are. Align your chair in the second row, beside Mr. Persin."
The transferee just nodded his head and awkwardly fixing his seat quickly.
It was a funny scene for my classmates to watch. The whole class watched him from alining his chair, to him awkwardly looking around. He arranged it like a dumb human preparing a royal seat for a highness.
We watched the whole thing making Mr. Maxx run his fingers in his temples. He started the lecture to end the shameful scene.
Kyrene on my side, is more detached than I think. She's unreadable, sometimes approachable, perhaps, approaching me. But now, she's more different than I thought she used to be.
Her arms were crossed just observing the class and now she's staring at Mr. Ferd Calibre.
She seemed unhappy on what's happening right now. I know, me too. There's nothing to be fun about in any way somehow.
I noticed her eyes was nothing black anymore. But a bright glowing red. She's furiously staring at Mr. Ferd's back because we're in the last row.
I caught her attention, I'm in worry right now. What if somebody in this room saw her?
It's really not a new thing to me. Glowing eyes isn't a new case for me. I've seen it several times in different creatures.
And before I could blink my eyes, she's gone in my sight.There was a huge chance that she's gotten out of this room because I remember that Mr. Ferd forgot to close the door earlier.
