Chapter 45:TWISTED BALL GAME

I stood up in fear as the lights flickered and I turned round and round trying to understand what was really going on then I felt a chilling touch on my shoulder and it made my blood run cold..I shrieked in horror and fell butt first to the ground..I tried to catch my breath as I moved backwards while staring at Stefanie who had taken a more twisted and frightening form then as she bent down to touch me I turned my head sideways and closed my eyes shut..then when I realised that nothing was happening I opened my eyes and found myself at my old house..And then I wandered around still feeling a little bit scared and then as I was walking a little girl ran past me laughing and when I looked at her it was me.She ran to hug Mom and Dad and it melted my heart seeing this old memory then I heard someone speak..

Stefanie:I see you're enjoying the view..

London:(Screams)..

Stefanie:(Laughs uncontrollably)..Relax it's only me or should I say you..(Giggles)..

London:Why are you back Stefanie?..I told you already..I don't need you!..

Stefanie:Of course you do..You're in a huge crisis and I have to help you..before you mess everything up..

London:I didn't ask for your help..

Stefanie:Look over there..

I realized I was in a different place and Stefanie pointed to my Dad who was screaming at my mom..and I don't remember seeing that memory before..

London:What is this?..I haven't seen this before..

Stefanie:Your Mom tried her best to hide what was really going on..This was a fight they had..and your Dad assaulted your Mom out of anger..

I stared at Stefanie in shock..

London:What!..how could he..

Stefanie:He did several times and she was depressed..do you know that you were supposed to have a brother..

London:I don't understand what you are saying?..

Stefanie:Your father killed your unborn brother..He pushed your mom so hard that she lost the baby..

I closed my eyes as tears ran down my face..How could my Dad be so evil..He made me a complete orphan..I pray he rots in hell forever..

Stefanie:I can read your mind London and he is rotting in hell..I know how that feels..

London:So what are you trying to prove now huh?..

Stefanie:Don't let Mace ruin you..like your Dad did to your Mom..and your uncle did to your aunt..

London:I'm not stupid..I'm just using Mace..it's all part of the plan don't you get it..

Stefanie:Wrong..It was..part of the plan..but now..

London:Now what?..

Stefanie:It seems like you're falling for him..

London:No!..I'll never ever fall for a De la cruz..

Stefanie:Better don't..because don't forget what I told you..If you deviate I'll be your worst nightmare..remember you sold your soul in turn for justice for all women not just your mom..so the deal is big..so don't blow it else face the consequences..

London:You know what Stefanie..I'm gonna listen to you know..

Stefanie:(Smiles)..That's more like it..

London:Under one condition..Do not control me..

Stefanie:Hmm ok done..now you listen to me..Fail in your mission..Your precious aunt's soul will belong to the devil forever and you'll never see her again..

I paused not knowing how to react..Oh no..Not aunt I can't let any harm reach her..There's only one option I have..

Stefanie:So what do you say..

London:Deal..

We both shook hands and then everything went back to normal and I was back at my office then I looked at the time and it was already late so I decided to leave..As I reached outside I realized that I had left my car at the mechanic's and there was no cab available..with much thinking I decided to walk instead..I noticed that something was off and I felt like I was being followed..but I kept my cool and kept on walking then someone had snatched my bag from behind me and I turned around to see that I was surrounded by a duo of thugs..

Thug 1:Hey preety lady..going somewhere..

Thug 2:She is so gorgeous..let us drop you home miss..

London:Give me back my bag or else..

Thug 1:Oh wow she's feisty..well gorgeous come take it from me..

London:How dare you!..Give it back to me at this instant else you'll regret it..

Thug 2:You're so beautiful we should take you to a hotel instead..

(Both thugs laugh)..

London:That's it..

I walked up to one of the thugs and snatched my bag from his hand then the other one held my other hand and the bag fell.Without thinking I punched the second thug in the face and then the other one tried to hold me down and then I kicked him in the crotch and he screamed in pain then the second thug charged at me and I dodged his hit just in time and elbowed him on the back then kicked him down and he was bleeding then the other one grabbed me by my neck and tried to assault me then I bit his hand till blood rushed out and he let go of me while screaming then as he fell to the ground I saw a car heading towards where I was and I realized that Mace was in it.I was distracted by him and I was hit in the face by one of the thugs then I touched my lip and saw blood on my hand and I lost it..and as I walked angrily towards him..I felt something possess me..I started seeing red and gnashed my teeth while death glaring at the thug  then I grabbed the thug by his head and hit it on the ground till he passed out then the other thug freaked out and brought out a knife from his pocket and he tried to use it on me but I was able to twist him arm the other way around and then Mace saw what was going on and came out of his car and punched the thug really hard in the face that blood rushed out..

Mace:Are you ok?Did they hurt you?..

London:Never been better..

Little did we know The thug stood up with the knife in his hand and tried to stab Mace and I instantly had a light bulb moment..I came right in front of Mace and I could feel the sharp blade pierce into my stomach and I saw blood oozing out of my stomach profusely then I fell to the ground then Mace shouted in anger and lost it and gave the guy a beating that almost killed him then some people that lived in the area came due to the commotion and held him to stop and then the police arrived thanks to some of the people that witnessed it..And the thugs were both taken away..Mace then rushed to me with tears in his eyes with a worried look and tried to help me stay conscious..

Mace:London!..London!..Mami!..(Taps her cheek)..Stay with me..nothing will happen to you ok..I'm here I won't let anything happen to you ok..

London:(Breathes heavily)..Ok..

Mace then carried me along with my bag and put me in his car and decided to take me to his mansion since the hospitals were closed and  before we left he told one of the policemen that was still around to investigate the matter and as he drove my sight got blurry and he kept talking to me to open my eyes but I got weaker and weaker and I could no longer see or hear anything and before I knew it I saw pitch black..
