Chapter 1
In Circe’s head: Where is he? He should’ve been here by now. He had to inform me right away. We’re running out of time.
Phoenix: “The baby has been born. We can’t waste any more time, let’s go. They’ll be here soon. Let’s make this quick.”
Cassandra: “They’re gonna take my baby from me. Please do something, Achilles.”
Achilles: “We can’t do anything. We need them, we can’t protect our own, you know it.”
Cassandra: “Why is this happening to us?”
In Achilles head: They’re here.
Circe: “We don’t have much time, we have to get out of here before they arrive.”
Cassandra: “Please give me one more minute.”
Achilles: “They’re right, love. We can’t waste any more time if we wanna save our child. Promise me you’re gonna protect our baby with your life.”
Phoenix: “You have our word.”
Circe: “I’m sorry we can’t save all of you.”
Cassandra: “You’re saving our baby, that’s enough. The ritual isn’t harmful, is it?”
Circe: “As far as I know, it shouldn’t be harmful and we don’t have any other choice.”
Phoenix: “We have to leave. This way. (fifteen minutes later)”
Circe: “What was that?”
Phoenix: “They’ve arrived. We have to get out of here. (everything goes on fire - twenty one years later…somewhere on a path)”
In Amara’s head: Life is unpredictable. Whenever you feel you have it figured out it surprises you with the most unexpected things. It’s an endless loop until the day you die. One thing you should remember is whenever life throws you into the darkness you have to stand your ground and say I’m not going down without a fight. That’s what I did but I don’t know for how long I’ll be able to fight anymore. I’m not the same person I used to be two years ago but I regret nothing. I’m Amara Ariti. I don’t know who I am or what I am…this is my story. I don’t like to live in the past so we’re gonna start from the present.
Man: “You dare to touch my brother? You’re gonna pay for this.”
Amara: “I didn’t touch him. I punched him...major difference jerk.”
In Amara’s head: You’re probably thinking how I ended up in this situation. Well…(one hour earlier). Never in my childhood days I thought I would be living this kind of life. That I'd be able to go anywhere in the world or have everything more than I imagined. I’ve reached a point in my life where nothing surprises me. I was in my room this morning and the next thing I remember I was at the airport with my brother to fly to a different city where he had a meeting to attend. I don’t know why he brought me with him though. But one thing you should know about me is that I’m a loner. I don’t like being around people, why? You’ll know in a few minutes. Obviously I took the car and left the building where the meeting was being held and here I am standing God knows where in a forest. Don’t worry, I’m not lost and no I’m not alone, I came across a few douchebags. I hate when people assume I’m such a naive girl. When they try to fool others and take advantage of one’s innocence. Just like those douches. They don’t know that I know they spiked my drink. I heard what their intentions were the moment I came here. Yes, you heard it right. I’m able to know one’s true intentions, thoughts and sometimes their past. I have two options here, either I run away or I teach them a lesson that they’ll take to their grave. If I run they won’t stop their sick game. They’ll look for easy prey and there’s a chance not every girl will be lucky to get away unharmed. Drako told me to stay away from trouble, to keep a low profile. I try to stay far away from trouble but trouble follows me like DOOM. And he isn’t gonna like what I’m about to do now. I’m gonna play these fucking game.
Man: “Gorgeous, you didn’t tell us your name.”
Amara: “I have many names. This coffee tastes different. You make such good coffee but sadly…this is the last time you’re offering a girl something to drink.”
In Man’s head: It must be the drugs, she’s making no sense at all. The things I wanna do to that body. I can’t wait anymore.
Amara: “If you guys value your life I’d suggest you be seated. (ten minutes later)”
In Amara’s head: I’m sure he’s having a good time on the ground. I don’t know why his friends aren’t helping him. Or maybe I do.
In Man2’s head: What is she gonna do to us now? I don’t wanna die today. Please God, this girl is a psychopath. How did she manage to take down a grown ass man like that?
In Man3’s head: I told him to not pull this shit. Now we’re all in trouble because of him and where did his brother go? Maybe he would be able to help us.
In Amara’s head: They’re all whining like little bitches. I love what I’m seeing right now. The flash of fear in their eyes and that creep looks better down there anyway.
Karl: “You should’ve gone easy on him.”
Amara: “I’m sorry, what have I done? Sorry my ass. I don’t show mercy to those who weren’t gonna show me mercy. They should be grateful I’m letting them live and I didn’t even use half of my strength. I didn’t punch him that hard. It’s not my fault he’s weak.”
Karl: “Yeah, yeah. They didn’t even know what you’re capable of.”
Amara: “And they’ll never know. They should’ve thought about the consequences before planning that kind of shit. By the way, you do realize they have no idea who I’m talking to. They must be thinking there’s a ghost or something. Just look at their faces.”
In Man3’s head: Please help. Is she a serial killer or something? Who the hell is she talking to? Am I fucking hallucinating?
In Man2’s head: I’m never going camping ever again.
In Amara’s head: No one’s coming to help like the way you planned. (present time)
Man4: “What the fuck did you do to my brother? I’ll make you pay for this, bitch. But after I have my way with you it would be a shame if I’ll let this kind of beauty go in vain.”
