Chapter 13: SelenaI entered the Underground quietly. I couldn't stay here anymore and I had to make my departure silent and unnoticed. The baby was in its crib and Samos was sleeping by her. I took the baby as quietly as I could.
"What are you doing?" I heard someone's gruff voice ask. It was Torn, his eyes giving me a menacing glare.
"Torn. I have to leave. Erol and I..."
"Should never have been together in the first place to create that thing." He said sternly.
"What on earth are you talking about. I am in love with him and he is in love with me. And this thing is my baby, and her name is Arolena." I said with authority.
"It is my responsibility to make sure you do what is best for you." he lamented. I walked toward him and hugged him.
"I know, but this is what is best for me, Torn, and I want you to respect that. Erol is not such a bad guy and he is her father." I explained. His face softened.
"You always had been smart, Selena. I love you and I respect your decision, even if I don't agree with it. You are an adult, so be free... Will...will you visit?"
"Of course I will. Tell everyone I love them." I said pecking him on the cheek and he smiled.
"I will, and be careful." He prodded. I nodded.
"I can hold my own." I said walking out, a tear forming in my eye.
I entered the Hip Hog and there I seen Erol. He waved to my direction. I sat down beside him in a booth.
"She looks like she is getting so big..." Erol's eyes widened.
"Yeah well with the Dark and red Eco it is making her body grow faster. Samo-The doctor said that in sixteen months she will have grown to the age of sixteen years and then she slows her growing. So only about three months and she is out of diapers." I said relieved.
"Well...that's...strange, but at least she'll live." Erol said.
"Yeah well what are we doing here?" I asked, the baby nudging in my arms.
"Just...uh...business. Let's go home now." He said, escorting me out of the door.
"Erol!" We heard a man yell. We turned around to find none other than the infamous Krew. Large as life itself. In Haven, Krew used to be a heavy weight champion wrestler, but as soon as he picked up the fork, down went his career. His life did a 360 as he became so obsessed with money, weapons, and power, that he became one of the biggest crime lords ever.
"What!" Erol asked, a bit annoyed.
"Where's my money?" Erol reached into his pocket pulling out a money clip and throwing it where Krew caught it. He eyed the money, then Erol, me, and the baby. Then he floated away. We walked out.
"Are you one of Krew's hitman too?" I asked holding the baby tightly in my arm.
"No," He answered quickly. "The Baron sends me to help him. He has ties to that...grotesque man and for what reason I don't even know." I laughed at the word grotesque. All the names I thought of that man, and not once had I come up with a word such as grotesque. "Oh shit..." His voice seemed to be coated in a warning.
"What..." I stopped to see the KG not more than ten feet way from me. I heard one of them say 'yes that's her and a child...' or 'get her.'
"Run, Selena. I will try to stop them. Meet me at our house." His voice so low I was the only one to hear him. I hid behind an alleyway so I could see what the hell was going on. Erol walked up to them.
"Morning boys...you know you really don't have to chase her down. We called off the search." Erol commanded.
"No can do boss," One spoke up. "The Baron said either kill her or bring her to him. No questions asked."
"What?! I am the authority around you little numskulls!" His voice raised in anger.
"Sorry. The Baron has more authority than you do, Erol." He made his point as he pushed Erol aside. I ran. Ran as fast as I could, but my legs got so tired, but thank God the red eco made them stronger to carry me on. I stopped when they had me surrounded. Shit! One turned on a screen, communicating with the Baron.
"Yes we got her, and she has a child."
"Whose child?"
"I am guessing it's her's boss." There was a long pause.
"Hmm. You know what? Bring the child to me and as for Selena...kill her." My eyes widened. They knocked me down and took my baby. They hit me in my throat and I tried to call Arolena, but no sound escaped my mouth. One took my baby and took off in the zoomer.
So there I was...on the ground. I gun to my face going down the side of my neck. It was cold and made me shiver. I wanted to cry, but my tear ducts were dry. I wanted to scream, but I was inaudible at the moment. I got mad and then...it looked like I had an electric flow. It was dark blue and red. They all stared at me funny and then they got shocked. Before I knew it I lunged off from the ground and knocked the one with the gun to the ground. I was covered in blood. Not mine, his. His body was lifeless on the pavement. People were running away and screaming for help. I was livid. Some KG had got away, but the rest I killed. I'm not going to lie. It felt good. Revenge was good. With the punch I hit them with, they should be feeling it for weeks...
