EVER AFTER

Chapter 13

Rafael

I can't believe what I'm seeing right now.

Its all the same with the other incidents but, to whatever luck this kids have; no one died.

And that is something I have a hard time believing. Their group can do everything they wish to do, but why they don't? They can kill them like they're killing bugs, so why they didn't?

Its a true mystery, and honestly my mind can't think of any possible answer. And while I'm watching the police question the group of teenagers, I saw someone I knew.

Silas..

Yes, him. The bad boy guy who always cut classes to go with his friends. And like the others he is sporting bruises and cuts all over his body.

They're clearly shaken while giving their statement to the police officers and I won't blame them, after experiencing something like tha-

"They are admitting that no one attack them.." Rex suddenly cut through my thoughts when he hop on the car with a grim expression.

I lift my brow at him, as I cross my arms in front of my chest. "And what do you think?"

Sighing, he look at me with weary eyes. "I think they were attack but not by that 'group'. They don't reek with magic, but some sort of gunpowder, sweat and human blood.."

I slump back on my seat and close my eyes. "What the f**k? Then, how about those marking that we saw around the place..and the claw marks on some trees?!" I snap angrily as I open my eyes and look at him.

He begin to fidget nervously on his seat, as he fiddle the hem of his shirt.

"Well?"

"..umm Sir, I think that all the marks are all Fiinte Final's doing. And they probably plan to kill another group of teenager who are from what I investigated are actually going to camp here tonight."

I furrow my brows as I stare to Rex with unbelieving eyes. "You're not telling me that, these guys just so happen to be at the wrong place and the wrong time... Because seriously, that is totally unbelievable.."

Rex just nod his head, still fidgeting uncontrollably. Sighing loudly, I look at the group in front of our car.

"Come on then, if you know this group of teen, we need to find them. And God, as soon as possible. Because I know that group's principle, and that's to finish what they have started."

God, I even thought that me and Seb can finally have our bonding time..

Geez, what a c**k block!!

--

Its almost dawn when we finished our rounds, and thankfully no casualties.

Tiredly, I slowly trudge towards the building as Rex begins to walk behind me.

But when I saw a familiar figure outside the building, I quicken my steps.

"Hey, what are you doing he-"

Whatever I want to say become muffle when Sebastian suddenly hug me. His arms wound up tightly around my slender waist.

"Where have you been? I'm so worried!!! You didn't comeback when you left yesterday, and you never answered my calls. I don't know what to think, so I come here hoping to meet you. But that woman Letticia, said that you didn't come home since last night. So I waited for you here..."

"Don't tell me you waited for me since yesterday?" I ask, when I pull away from him and look at him directly in the eyes.

His face suddenly turn red as he nod his head slowly. My stomach flutter with happiness as I look at him tenderly. I stood up on my toes and peck him on the lips.

"That's so sweet of you.." I whisper, but a gasp came out of me when he suddenly pick me up on my waist and smash his lips on mine.

Its so electrifying.

Sparks filled me, and I can feel his lips moving against mine. Very slowly and tenderly. A kiss that full of love and passion.

I move my hands up and wrap it around his neck, tugging his hair a little.

A mewl escape from me when he tug my lower lips with his teeth. Opening my eyes, that I didn't notice that I closed I saw him looking at me with dilated eyes.

Gawd, he's so f*****g hot!

"I really like kissing you.." He whispered seductively, and for the love of God that almost make me c*m.

I grin sheepishly at him, as I rub my hard groin on his heated flesh eleciting a long groan from him. "I like it more.."

"You know guys, I didn't really sure if its the right place for this.." A preppy voice suddenly chirp beside us. Whipping my head beside me, I saw Letty looking at me with an evil glint on her eyes.

"Seriously!" I hissed at her while I look at her with a glare, while I clutch tightly on Sebastian's arms.

She just laugh evily at me and turn around while she begins to skip on her feet, like a total lunatic.

Yes she is, no doubt about that!

Silas

Its all a blur..

The betrayal of my best friend.

The sudden ambush.

The police..

I didn't think that its all possible. Its almost like a dream, a nightmare where I can't wake up from.

"Silas, what are your plans now?" Heed ask, while he sit on the old couch in front of me.

I rub my hands over my face, and let out a big sigh. "I don't know Heed, I really don't know..."

I felt someone sit besides me, turning around I saw Joey with a bag of chips on his hands.

"Really Joey!" Tate exclaim as he walk in. "That's mine!''

"I already told you before Tate, if you have food in the cupboard you should name it. Because if not, its going on my stom-- hey! I'm still eating that!"

Sighing, I just watch as Joey and Tate start to brawl while cursing to each other. And like always its because of very stupid little things. But at least I can feel the normality of it. The need to feel that there is something normal in our life, even as small things like this.

I don't want to go back to my life before. Be a nobody, without anyone. A life that's full of loneliness and hatred. I don't want again, its enough....because I have my g**g now, my friends, my family. And they are my life. My very own reason to exist...

"You guys, how about we go out and eat.." I said, as I stand up and stretch. They just look at me like I'm crazy. "Don't look at me like that bastards, I at least have enough money for burgers. So what do you think?"

"Oh, come on Tate its free you know... Let's go Silas!" Joey's cheery voice hollered as he begun to drag Tate outside the house.

"That's very nice of you Silas.." Heed exclaim with a smirk on his face as he put his arms around my shoulder.

"For now, we need it. Even though we still do not know what may happen to us on the future, at least we have each other and that's enough for me.."

He just shrugged his shoulder while he begin to walk towards our car.

--

Its not possible..

Maybe I'm still having a nightmare, or its only my imagination because if that's the case, please can I wake up now..

I choke an air, my breathing is heavy as I watch Tate's body flung on the air.

"...no..." I gasp between a mouthful of breath, my heart becoming slow as the blood from my wound flow out from my body, while it begin to pool around me.

My eyes widen and a quiet scream came out on my open mouth, when Joey's head fall in front of me with a soft thud. Rolling slowly on the ground, blood sprouting out from it.

Why did everything have come to this??

We are just going to our favorite cafe, when the g**g agreed to go at the site where we are ambushed yesterday, just to look around. And suddenly we were attack.

But these people are obviously not a part of any g**g, they're different. They're more dangerous. More merciless. More vicious. More cruel... And we are powerless against them.

But why us?

Its so unfair.. I only wanted a family and that's my only wish. Forming our group is the best thing that I've done so far. As I created my own g**g, and it finally become my very own family... So why they have to take them away from me like this...

Fuck why??!

My eyes blurred when my tears flow out freely, while my body begun to be consumed by an intense hatred. And I honestly wish, that I can kill them.

But I can't, as I don't have any energy left in me. While my limbs begin to go numb.

No yell and no other sound came out from me when I felt them stab my body while they start hacking my limbs; piece by piece. As I look at my friends lifeless body..scattered around.

Little by little, my consciousness are beginning to dim. And I know its not far from now, as death will finally consume me entirely.

Dark bitterness filled my heart. And I feel my heart grow heavy as I become more resentful towards my life.

Do I deserve this kind of death...

So why do I have to experience this?

But when I'm only second enough on finally losing it, I feel the sudden shift in the air..

Click of heels can be heard on the ground as it send tiny shivers when I felt its vibrations on the hard pavement where I am lying..

"Tsk! Tsk! What we have here, eh? Raffy, can you believe this? And they even have the guts to attack someone at this place...."

I want to listen, but I can't anymore. I can feel it. It's the end. I'm dying. With a choke I tried to hold on. But my mind is suddenly consumed by darkness.

I just hope... That whoever they are. I pray that those newcomers can kill the people who did to us. I hope for justice, not for me but for my friends....

Because we don't deserve to die....
