Chapter 3

Natasha Grey was a cruel Mafia Lord, she had series of connection and dark business. Back then, she was the most wanted by the police, even politicians sort for her, well that was because she was powerful.

She lived amognst others yet no one knows when she is passing by, they nick named her as the Devil's mistress cause not only did she have power but she also possed a dark kind of beauty. She is undefeated, some believe she had some kind of dark, sardistic powers, but being supernatural was some made up story, i guess i know better now.

As we go deeper, her identity will slowly unfold

Now where were we....

...♤♤♤♤♤

It was Jeremy, he was alive

"J..jerry..is that really you" I stammered, still not believing my eyes.

"Listen Emma, he already called people down here so we are left with not much time" Jerry said with both his hands on my shoulder, shaking me slightly.

Right then noises where heard from the direction i came through.

" They're here, shhh.....follow that tunnel it will lead you outside, they have guest so the gates must be open, go through and leave, I'll hold them off" He said in hush tones

"I can't leave you alone with those bad people, they'll hurt you, besides i just got you back" I said with a low tone feeling tears threatening to drop, if anything.

" I'll see you on the other side, be brave and save yourself , I'll see you again, i promise" He said and pushed me slightly foward, the steps of two to three men's feet could be heard.

I nodded my head as stream of tears rolled down my cheek. I huriedly left without looking back following the route he pointed.

.....♤♤♤

"Hold on a sec, Jerry who was dead was now alive to rescue you, am a bit confused"

"Well Jerry was my childhood friend, well from the orphanage but he died when i turned 13, it was a plane crash"

" Am sorry to hear that babe"

"Its all in the past now....as for how he saved me or how he supposedly came back to life would be told later,

shall we go on.....

All i could hear was faint sounds of rough breathing and the agonising scream but i couldnt stop nor did i have the guts to turn back.

The tunnel came to an end after running for a long time. Looking at what was in front of me, made me fustrated beyond measures.

All i could see were bushes and trees everywhere i looked, i was in the middle of nowhere.

'Jerry did mention a gate, maybe its ahead' i thought, i stretched a little and began going down the path that i guessed, led to the gates.

In front of me was a huge black gate, it length made me stretch my head just to look. I shaked the gate and trying pulling but it didnt work, i looked for a lock or something but i couldn't find any, i became restless.

'What am i going to do now, what if they are close by' I thought, pacing about.

I sat down to collect my thoughts, to meditate and to think when i fell in a trance.

I saw two groups, one was led by a lady who i recognised as Katherine and the other was led by the chief commander of Natasha's army, Gabriel and his big dogs.

Yet far but they are headed my direction which made my breath hitch. The last time i was in a trance was on my 17th year old birthday. I didn't know who i was or what i am, all i knew was i had some kind of abilities i couldn't fathom.

I stood up quickly, and starting pulling the door with all my might but it wouldn't budge, who was i kidding, the door must weigh tones. I felt them drawing nearer, my body became alert, right then something caught my eyes.

The side of the gate had space enough for my body to fit in, the only problem was that, it had spikes that could scar my skin terribly. But that was my only option, to me back then, it was better than staying in the hell of a place.

Pulling in more breath through my mouth, i went for it trying hard not to anticipate the pain i was about to experience. I put my body through and pushed myself further, the spikes breaking through my skin so deeply that i felt a warm substance flowing through my back.

I screamed in agonizing pain as i kept pushing through, it went deeper. I wanted to stop, i wanted to just die, the pain was really unbearable, but something kept telling me to keep going, to endure like i always had and to never ever give up without a fight.

As i heard those words my fluttering eyes instantly became sharp and alert. I felt active and vibrant, i felt alive. I pushed myself through gritting my teeth in pain but still didn't make a sound until i finally got through.

Though my back was badly hurt, i felt relief and happy that i got through, glad that i didn't give up, glad i shamed my enemies.

I kept moving foward with my injury, my back was bleeding seriously and my movement was slow and staggering.

I kept moving foward with no destination with just one thought

'I am free and atleast, i would be able die in peace knowing i didn't die there'

With that i fell to the ground unconscious.

"Woah, babe that is to much, i cant hello but feel concerned "

"Don't worry babe am fine"

Knock!

"Hi guys, what are the both of you up to huh? "

"Martha and Gabriel, how have you been....am just telling him about the anniversary "

Guys am so sorry for leaving you out, the woman who spoke just now is Martha and beside her is her husband Gabriel.

Now that they are here, they would tell their role in this whole thing.
