Animosity: Undead

Chapter 18

3rd Person's PoV

2 hours and 45 minutes ago

I get into a fight with my brothers.

''We're sorry. After we heard your warning. We tried to be fast as we can to go to Niccolo's camp afte---''

''No need. We need to get down now. It's already 8. Mother wanted us to be there on the firework display for Lucy.''

''You think they have gotten down?'' my younger brother ask.

''Ah. I think they h---''

The f**k is that?

I saw a pink scarf in the woods as I bat my eyes from my brother.

I grabbed it.

This scarf belongs to Mika.

Ah. Now, I remember. So you followed that fake map.

''Guess we had a long night.''

''But Mom wants us to be there!'' My older brother.

''Then go there! I'm not going to that s**t. It's not important to me.'' I said and looked back to my brothers.

''Tell her that I'm out. I'll be back before 10 tomorrow.'' I said to them and followed footprints in the snow.

''Sis! Sis! Shit.'' I heard my older brother.

I'm not giving up until I find them. Niccolo...Your mine.

It's been two hours and 46 minutes since I left my brothers. The f**k. I should've brought a copy of that stupid map.

All clue I have is this stupid footprints the snow is trying to erase. Stupid snow.

Shit. I forgot to bring water. f**k.

My throat is freezing. Stupid me. Why did I forgot the freaking water bottle?

As I thought that it might be my final destination, a waterfall. Is this the famous waterfall? I haven't seen it all my life. This is my savior.

I quickly drank water from it.

''It's somewhat sweet. Do waterfalls taste this sweet? Sounds like somebody has been taking good care of this.

''But...bruh...who would be taking care of this?''

The water is crystal clear. I can clearly see the sky blue beneath the surface.

Mayor William Croosevelt's PoV

(W.I.C OWNER)

''What happened?'' My secretary asked.

''Ah. It's just a dream on a short nap.''

''Is it because of that person?''

''Ah. The failed project. I paid a great price for that. I even paid for that stupic statue.''

''That was ages ago.'' He said.

''Yes and still haunts me in my dreams.''

''Oh. The fireworks display for the anniversary of Lucy is 10 minutes away. Please come downstairs now. The people is looking for you.'' He said. Then my wife entered.

One of the two mistakes I made.

''Fix your face, you dipshit. The people wants you. Don't make me carved that face of yours again.'' She left, slamming the door.

I sighed.

I stand, looked my face at the mirror.

I lost my right eye because of that woman. I have a huge scar covering half my face. That woman carved this up eight years ago.

I got out of my office, my secretary, MalCoi, which I found out three years ago that his my son.

The only child I have. My wife, Daliah,cannot bore children. I accepted that but that only changed Daliah's attitude. She became aggresive. And that hurt me.

She doesn't know that MalCoi is my son. And she wouldn't know. I won't let that happen. I love my son.
