“I think we should move,” Bandit said as he swayed Austin in his arms, his right hand resting on his little back. “No, we need to leave Arkville.”
“You’re right, but where are we gonna go?” Venom kicked his feet up on the coffee table as he raised a shot glass to his lips. It contained an amber liquid with ice cubes swimming around in it.
“We can’t leave without Ryat and Zayde,” Korpse reminded them, looking up from his cellphone. “We promised that we’d never be separated. If we leave, they have to come with us.”
“Well, as you can see, we are separated, and we don’t exactly have a choice,” Bandit stood up with Austin. “I love them as much as you guys do, but we’re in a situation where heartbreaking choices are gonna have to be made, Godfrey.”
“He’s right,” Venom sipped the bourbon and scrunched his face at the bitter taste. “Besides, this place is dangerous. It’s filled with nothing but bad memories. The Cops are on our asses because someone’s giving then tips about the Sh|t we’ve done as teenagers anf there’s a serial k!ller on the loose. This community is not fit to raise children, Godfrey. We have to go elsewhere.”
“So we should just leave and abandon Carnage and Neon? Is that what you’re saying? I call b*llSh|t,” he stood and tucked his hands in the front pockets of his denim jeans. “We’re staying.”
“Korpse, why are you making this so difficult? We gotta leave Arkville this place isn’t safe!” there was evident hostility in Bandit’s voice as he spoke. “We can come back for the other two, but we gotta save our @es. The life of my kids are important.”
“And so are the lives of Füçking Ryat and Zayde! Y’all are acting as if they chose to leave us, they were kidnapped! We can’t abandon them. No. We’re the Bloodlust Bastards, we never abandon a fellow bastard.” Korpse looked at both Venom and Bandit before hissing loudly and turning walking to the rails and placing his hands on them.
“What’s going on out here?” Bella arrived with a concerned look. “Baby, is everything okay?”
“Take him,” Bandit handed Austin over to his Bella. “We’re having an important conversation. I’ll be with you shortly, okay my love?” he placed a chaste kiss to her lips and then kissed Austin’s forehead. He watched her leave then turned to see Venom standing next to Korpse, still drinking.
Neither said anything, only gazing into the costly beauty of the surroundings absentmindedly. Each reminiscing on the past, how they grow up together, all the things they’ve been through, and the sacrifices they’ve made. Their histories are permanently intertwined, they share countless memories, and an unbreakable bond.
Unfortunately, the bond is slowly crumbling, they feel it, they know it.
“Look at us,” Godfrey said, his voice raspy and strained. “When did things get so complicated?”
The others remained silent. Battling their need to shed tears as well as trying to stop their hearts from shattering for the millionth time.
“I don’t know. I wish… I wish we could turn back the time and be dumb teenagers again,” Venom placed his arm around Korpse’s shoulder. “Back then, we had no worries. We just drank alcohol, did drugs, and got paid handsomely for k*lling people.”
“We used to have a bright future, but now it’s full of darkness,” Bandit shook his head and licked his lips.
“You’re lucky you see a future. At this point, I’ll be surprised if we wake up tomorrow morning,” Venom ran a hand frustratedly through his hair. “Look, I h@të that Ryat and Zayde are not here, but we gotta leave. The best thing is we know they’re alive. Things could’ve been way wo–”
“Guys,” Korpse said, “what-what’s that?” he pointed at the sky.
The two looked up to see a cloudless sky with something amidst the sheet of blue heading towards them with a trail of smoke behind it. The thing was moving fast, and the more they stared the more they realized it was a–
“Missile.” Bandit’s heart dropped.
“Everybody run!” Venom yelled before the boys sprinted back into the mansion, but it was too late. The missile hit the mansion. There was an ear-splitting explosion that shook the earth harder than any earthquake ever could.
Screams ripped through the air, a cloud of gray smoke filled the area. There was a gaping hole in the mansion’s roof. Outside the security guards were Sh|t d**d and men dressed in black cloaks and masks fed into the front yard. Broken wood and crumbled wall pieces lay scattered across the lush grass. Some parts of the building was on fire, while d**d bodies of workers were strewn all over the place. Some had been crushed by fallen wall pieces, while others were impaled by wood or steel pipes.
It was a morbid painting on display. Something straight from a horror movie.
A limousine pulled up and out came the twins from hell. Ace and Ajay – Satan and Lucifer. They peeled off their red masks with devil horns and smiley faces and dropped them to the floor. Their faces were badly disfigured, almost unrecognizable. The two had allegedly d**d in a fire after being Sh|t up by dr*g dealers at their homes. Well, as one can see, the rumors are true, except they didn’t die…they survived.
And now they’re back.
“Loki, find the bastards and bring them to me. K*ll any other survivor,” Luci instructed and the man nodded. He said something in Arabic to the others and they all began marching into the remains of the glorious building with their rifles loaded.
The same dr*g dealers who caused their dance with death brought them to a hospital where they got treated. Unfortunately, they woke up with amnesia and remembered nothing of their pasts. And so, they told the boys lies and turned them against the ones who’d been there for them since day one; Carnage, Neon, Korpse, Bandit, and Venom. Now they believed they caused them to look like monsters, and that Ryat k*lled their mother… But in reality, they are orphans.
They never met their parents.
The twins walked into the building and made it out the way just in time for a piece of roof to fall on a table and crush it. They, along with their men, scoured the building – their hearts burning in hellfire with unchangeable hatred. Upon going upstairs and turning into a room they came across their men having their way with a brunette with forest green eyes. She was gagged with a d_1ck in her mouth.
“Is she the only survivor?” Satan asked, his voice gravelly.
“She’s the only one we’ve found so far, boss,” the leader of the squad said.
“Hmm,” Satan walked to the girl, Belinda Whyte – Bella, and Sh|t her twice in the chest. “Now get your d_1cks out and get back to work. I’m not paying you Sh|theads to Füçk some stranger.”
Everyone got back to work instantly and searched for hours, but found no one. Just when they decided to leave they heard a muffled noise. Satan raised his g*n and walked to where he heard the noise only to discover that it was a baby laying in a crib unharmed. He gave the child one look – he’s m*rdered infants before, more times than he’d like to remember. However, mercy said yes today.
“Search one more and get the hell out,” Satan looked at the child again before leaving with his brother.
“Why didn’t you k*ll the baby?” Luci asked.
“Didn’t feel like it,” he shrugged. The entrance was on fire so they found a different way out. “Tell the guys to throw bottles of gasoline on that fire. I want this place burned to ash by time I come back tomorrow.”
“Say no more brother,” Lucifer found his mask and put it back on.
Shortly after the men returned and bottles of gas were thrown inside the building, they exploded one by one and added to the raging fire. The twins stared at the menacing flames with an equally unpleasant look in their eyes before leaving with their men. Promising to return the next day.
For now, there was somewhere else they had to be.
Sometime later, Meira stealthily exited her walk-in closet. Her eyes were wide, she couldn’t hear her thundering hear over the blood rushing in her ears. She couldn’t what had just happened. One moment she was sleeping on her bed and then an explosion caused her to fall off and run into the closet to take cover. There was a loud ringing in her ear and a distant throb in her head, blood ran down her forehead and dripped off her chin onto the ground.
Her vision swam and doubled. Her body swayed with the intention of falling limp but the roof collapsing stopped her. Meira screamed, her back slamming into the closet she just exited. The place was falling apart. Instinctively, she ran out to search for the others but found the entire building on fire. A thick cloud of smoke wafted in the air.
‘Oh my God,’ she said inwardly, “Bella! Katniss! Mom! Boys!” she covered her face with her hands and ran under the fallen debris. Coughing and trying to ignore the taunting burning in her eyes.
“Meira!” she heard someone yell. It was a masculine voice.
“Korpse? Bandit? Venom?” she called out, trying to look through the smoke and avoid the wood on fire. Ahe coughed roughly and covered her mouth. The smoke was suffocating her. “Help! Help me!”
“Meira!” the voice yelled again, but there was fallen zinc, wood and blocks clogging the hallway.
She couldn’t get out.
Meira turned to run the other way but the roof gave way and blocked that exit as well. The situation seemed hopeless. “No… Oh no.”
“Meira! Get out!” the voice yelled again.
“I can’t–” she was cut off sharply by a cough. Meira knew she was going to d** in this place if she didn’t find a way out. Her lips trembled as she coughed violently. Fear burning hotter than the fire gripping her insides. She wished Ryat and Neon were there. They’d save her.
But they’re not here now.
There was only one way out.
She charged back into her room, ducked under the fallen boards and headed straight for her window. With one hard kick the window shattered to bits, she looked down at the ground. There was grass and dirt, the ground wasn’t far as she was on the second floor. Meira breathed fresh air and coughed, then she looked back at the place she called home for the last ten years. With no other choice, she climbed out and jumped.
“Meira!”
She looked to the left, her ankle was sprained, Venom was running towards her. “Meira! Jesus Christ you freaking jumped?”
“Did you expect me to stay and d** you bonehead?” Meira winced loudly. “My ankle’s busted. Help me get away from here.”
“All right,” Venom put her arm around his shoulders and held her waist as he carried her away from there. Another loud explosion sounded and the two fell down from the force of it. “Ahh!”
The others quickly came to help and together they hobbled their way to a secret door in the wall and left the compound. There was a limousine waiting on them which they entered and the driver sped off.
“Is everybody here?” Korpse asked, hugging Kat and her twin siblings.
“Yeah…” Meira looked around and answered tired, but quickly noticed something. “Wait… Bella? What’s wrong with Bella? Bella!”
“They r@p*d and shot her two times in the chest. She’s losing blood fast. Driver! Hurry to the hospital! At this rate, I don’t think she’ll make it,” Syahla answered, using towels to stop the bleeding. “Bandit’s unconscious. I found him under some wood and saved him. The kids are okay, but Reyanna has a broken arm.”
“Oh my God, mom, are you okay?”
Syahla looked at Meira, happy that’s shea alive and safe. “I’m fine, baby. Mommy’s okay.”
“Who the hell did this? They ruined everything!” Katniss cried while gripping Korpse’s black shirt.
“Satan and Lucifer, the twins from Hell.” he replied emotionlessly.
Everybody looked at him with astonishment.
“That’s impossible. They’re d**d!” Venom refused to believe it. “They’d never do this. What are you even talking about? Did the bomb land on your head? Stop spouting nonsense, Godfrey.”
“I saw them with my own eyes,” a tear glided down his cheek. “They betrayed us. They’re with the enemy. They’re not one us anymore, Killian.”
“Shut up,” he still didn’t believe him.
Korpse whipped out a mask and dropped it on the table in the middle. It was white with lines running over it forming a cracked glass design. Its eyes were black and so was the broad grin on its face.
“That… That…”
“Belongs to Lucifer, and this is Satan’s,” he brought out a small necklace with a purple plastic diamond. “They’re back from the dead. They want us dead, and I’m not sure why. We need to leave.”
“No… Not, not them,” Venom couldn’t contain his tears. The same boys he used to rob supermarkets with now wanted them in coffins. He, along with the others, considered them as family. Venom often stole money to send them to school, only for them to pay him back like this.
It’s true what they say.
Friends are really, never your family.

????????? ??…
Ryat stared at the little girl with keen interest. She didn’t act like normal little girls; playing with dolls, acting like a fairytale princess, and etc. Rather, she watched horror movies, played with knives and h@tës combing her hair. It intrigued him.
“Come here,” he beckoned her over.
She came toward him holding a long knife and smiled beautifully. “Yes, dad?”
“Hand me the knife. You’re too young to play with these things.” he took it from her and stashed it away. “Go find a doll to play with or something.”
“Only if I can cut her head off,” she frowned. “Give it back. Grandpa gave it to me.”
“Your Grandpa’s a psycho.”
“And you’re supposed to be better?” she rolled her eyes and retrieved the knife before he could stop her. “It’s not your knife, it’s mine.”
“Hey! I’m your father, listen to me,” he stood up to take the knife but the door opened and men barged in. “What the hell is going on?”
“Boss. There was a huge explosion at the Hamilton residence!” one of the men reported, making Ryat’s heart briefly stop beating.
“…what?” he was so astonished he could almost faint.
“Sir, that’s not all. We have a recording of the main Kingpin of the Paloma Cartel saying he’s going to blow a building to pieces and k!ll everyone in it,” the man walked to Ryat and held open a laptop. He pressed play on an audio and pur it near the Don for him to listen to it.
He listened to it and indeed heard Neon’s voice.
“Listen up fellas, we’re gonna shoot a few bombs over there and I’m not talking grenades. I’m talking like missiles, y’know, something that’ll cause a lot of damage. I don’t want any survivors, everybody must d**,” he popped a bottle of champagne in the background.
“I never really liked them folks, it was all pretence. Now it’s time to take them out, for good. And then my men, we will celebrate!” he said and the men in the background cheered. The audio ended.
Seeing the devastated look on his Boss’ face, the man couldn’t help but say. “Boss, missiles were what destroyed the mansion. There is no proof linking the Doves to the incident, but we strongly believe they did this. Boss, what do we do now?”
Blinding by anger and the agonizing aches in his heart, he said. “Nothing. In a few days, we’ll attack the Doves’ hideout. Prepare the men. I want no one alive when we leave. Do I make myself clear?”
The ice in his voice could freeze a lake.
“Y-yes boss.”
“Get out!” he bellowed and the men ran away, he too soon left but not before telling the maids to watch his so-called daughter. ‘He did this. He was the one who ordered the hit. How could he do this? To me? To us? Did he forget where he came from? Everything we’ve done for him and been through with and because of him? And Meira, no, no!’ he helps his head, panicking and worrying.
“How the mighty have fallen,” Lady Danger said behind him, smirking slyly. “I tried to warn you about him. I really, really tried, but you don’t listen no matter how much I try to tell you about him.”
“Shut it, Dona,” he growled at her. Fighting with his though; what if this was all a big misunderstanding? What if this is indeed true?
“He betrayed you. His family probably influenced it as well. I have a surprise for you, my son,” she said and snapped her fingers. In the hallway, two men dragged in a man with long golden hair dressed in all white. “This is the brother of the scvmbag you call a best friend. He’s his advisor.”
Ryat looked at him. He’s sure Neon mentioned he had a brother, but didn’t believe it, now he does. And since Neon destroyed the home he grew up in and k!lled almost everyone there, there’s only one thing left to do. In milliseconds, he whipped out a g*n and pointed it at Zamora’s forehead.
“You son of a Bîtch,” Zam said through gritted teeth. “He’ll never forgive you if you do this. You’re making a big mistake.”
“The only mistake I’ve ever made in life was to put my trust in people.” he fired the g*n and Sh|t Zamora d**d. “Now. Let’s make the Doves extinct. There’s no room for two at the top.”
He stepped pass everyone and headed into his study. Still deeply angered by what Neon did. It’s an eye for an eye, surely he’d understand as a fellow Mafia boss – well, a treacherous Kingpin.
Lady Danger smiled victoriously.
This was exactly what she wanted to happen.
