Chapter 39 - A new life awaits

Two devilish handsome men, standing in front of each other, dead bodies scattered everywhere, yet they were only looking at each other.

One putting on a blue jean trousers which where ripped at the knee area, revealing fair part of his smooth fair skin, his black polo top had a skeleton head with an X slash on top of it. The word, 'DON'T DARE THE DEVIL'  boldly written above and below the skeleton drawing in capital letter.

His sweet smile carry a hint of mockery and the way he styled his blonde hair, leaving a few curly strands falling at one side of his face in a side fringe style, his whole being giving off a bad boy vibe.

While the other one, with his disheveled appearance, after being beaten roughly, maintain a calm expression, his black ruffled hair didn't hide his ridiculous prominent eye candy face. He's putting on a black stretch skinny fit chinos trousers, his blood stain white shirt matches with the colour of his sneakers, which he hasn't been able to pull off since his capture. He stood tall and equally the same height with his brother, giving off a gentlemanly vibe.

Except for the hair colour, the few cuts on Ethan's face, and different outfit; it's like they were staring at each others reflection.

"You went too far this time Ethan." Nathan said, a smirk lingering on his face.

"It brought us face to face like this." Ethan replied, not breaking his gaze. He finally find him. When his parents showed him the video recorded by the man who took Nathan in, as the search for him didn't waver. The  man knew the only way he was able to get Nathan out of the country is because he had his private airplane.

Everywhere was filled with his poster and the whole town started to doubt if they are responsible as they knew no peace from the detectives and strange suited men lurking around everywhere.

They only gave up when the man said he saved him and plan on keeping him, he promised to keep him safe until he grows up and make them talk to Nathan, who clearly face his parents and inform them that he wishes to stay with the man and get strong.

Ethan refused to accept the content of the video, he wants to bring his brother back home, all his mother's tears, grandpa suddenly getting sick, his father absent minded and nearly ruining the company as his train of thought is always getting disturbed by Nathan's absence in the house.

He felt guilty, he finds himself responsible, what if his sickness was like a premonition, they should remain at home and stay safe with the excuse of his sickness, yet he stubbornly made him leave and it ends up being their last meeting till now.

Even though his family later accepted their fate, he promised himself to bring him back to the house, but looking at him now, will he even go back with me?' He thought, but at least he did it! he found him, he appears to be doing perfectly alright which calms his heart and ease his tensed soul.

"You could have died, you know that?" Nathan question brought him back from his thoughts.

"Yet I didn't." he replied flatly and take a step closer to him, staring at him with his gaze full of emotions.

"Hey! hey! don't tell me you plan to hug…" Nathan's eyes widened as Ethan arms wrapped around him, "Oh f*ck! You really did!" He exclaimed as Ethan's arms tightened around him, his warmth made his facade broke. 'Something is wrong.' He thought, as Ethan's grip slowly weakened.

Aroma, who was the only person left behind after the rest left to deal with the rest of the axe men, as she has to be wherever Nathan is; stare at them with a full heart. She was always worried about Nathan, course she could sense some changes in him whenever they got notified that Ethan has located the country they were again.

If she knew their meeting scene could be this touchy, she wouldn't have worried so much. A smile spread from her lips to her hot smokey face.

But suddenly, just as Nathan realized something was wrong with Ethan, she also saw him slowly closed his eyes; as she was standing a bit far from them behind Nathan, which made her see Ethan face clearly.

"He's hurt." Nathan said, his eyes turning deep red as he supported the now unconscious Ethan from crashing down.

…...

Diana was sitting in a corner of the room assigned to her. She was taken to this place full of different people, males and females, some her age, slightly below and some older.

After the plane dropped at a big field, where a big truck was already in sight. She was guided by the flyer of the plane, while the rest hurried inside the awaiting truck with their weapons intact and left.

As she followed the guy toward their main base, she felt like she just transported into an action movie world. All the people were busy with weapons, some were polishing the rifles, some sharpening different types of daggers she hasn't seen before in her life, some practicing dagger throws, bullet targeting and some, playing with explosive devices and many others like they are nothing but toys.

She walked past them, minding her steps as if not trying to get noticed, yet she got noticed, but despite her bare face, none of them spare her a second glance before resuming with whatever they were doing and neither did they show any hostility.

They didn't seem to mind her face at all, it's like they neither care nor do not care. Their gazes before turning away was neutral.

She somehow found herself wondering how life is going to turn out for her during her stay here. A lot of thoughts ran through her mind as she in the corner of the room.

She knew for sure another life await her from now on, and she's willing to take up the challenge.
