Jakovi Poza: Shadows Of The Past

Chapter 2

It was getting dark and the sun was slowly disappearing from the sky. Gold was worried, and she knew that an unknown guest was coming to see Roxanne. Gold figured it had to be someone she knew well. I have to follow them, who knows who it might be. Gold thought horrified. Suddenly Lillie came out of the house and Gold ignored her as she sat next to her on the bench.
“You’ve been sitting here for an hour. What’s the matter?” Lillie asked. She didn’t know if she should tell Lillie the truth. She prefers to meet alone with a stranger to protect her future and all members.
 “Nothing happens.” Gold answered and added, “I want to be outside.” 
Lillie was a little surprised at Gold’s answer, but she said Gold wondered, feeling anxious. She felt guilty, but it quickly disappeared when she told herself she was doing it for the group. 
“Will you sit here all night?” Lillie was joking around. Gold gave Lillie a serious look and dreamed of being happy like her, but she couldn’t, on thought that Roxanne and Ash are hiding something.
“No, I think I’ll be in the house soon.” Gold muttered. 
“That’s good, because I don’t want you to get sick.” Lillie anwsered. Lillie got up and looked at Gold one last time and thought she was going with her, but Gold was looking the other way. Reluctantly, Lillie walked towards the house. Gold looked up, it got darker, the stars slowly appeared in the sky. Gold imagined Roxanne and Ash meeting an unknown guy. She was worried about Roxanne and who the guy was. I’m sure everything will be fine. Gold thought when she tried to calm herself down. But she wasn’t sure of her thoughts, she felt vulnerable. Gold sprang up slightly and spread out when she spotted Roxanne at the open door, dressed nicely. Gold looked suspiciously at Roxanne, she looked happy and confident, as if Foxy had never broken up with her. Shortly thereafter, Dark showed up at the door and stared at Roxanne friendly. Gold pretended not to see them, but she overheard them talking.
 “Are you sure you want to go completely alone?” Dark asked. 
“I don’t go “completely” alone. Ash will be with me, everything will be fine.” Roxanne promised Dark, her voice was so cheerful and sweet, as if she was talking to her boyfriend, Gold knew it was just a trick.
 “Okay, good luck.” Dark said. When it was quiet, Gold followed Roxanne, who made her way to the meeting point. Will she meet the stranger there? 
Gold tried to be as quiet as possible. She kept away from path. Roxanne didn’t look around, she just looked forward. Gold froze as she almost tripped over the stone, but she was relieved to see it. She walked patiently a little further away from Roxanne and stuck to the forest, not the path. Gold saw Roxanne come out of the woods and realized that there would meet Ash. When she spotted Ash in the clearing, Gold was hiding behind a tree, hoping she was hiding well. But how can she hide in a clean clearing? Gold’s heart began to beat with fear. She stooped slightly and saw Roxanne talking to Ash. Gold couldn’t hear them because they were a bit further away from her. She was afraid Roxanne and Ash would catch her spying, and she realized it would be difficult to hide in the clearing. When she noticed that Roxanne and Ash were approaching the big tree, Gold moved. She wondered how she could be invisible in the clearing. What if I hide a little further away in the tall grass? Gold wondered. She did what she thought. Slowly she followed Roxanne and Ash. They were far away from her, so Gold went unnoticed. When Roxanne and Ash disappeared from her eyes, Gold rushed to the big tree. She hid behind a large tree and gasped quietly with tiredness. Gold leaned slightly, when she heard the deep voice of a man, she immediately hid herself behind the tree. Was it... Gold thought hesitantly. Have her thoughts been fulfilled? 
“Foxy!” She heard Roxanne, Gold froze. The stranger is Foxy? Gold began to tremble easily with fear. This can’t be happening! Gold screamed in her mind.
 “You’re really here. You don’t know how happy I am.” Roxanne said. Gold wondered if Ash was there, and she realized was there because she heard Ash laughing.
“Yes, Roxanne. It’s good to see you again after a few months.” Gold heard a familiar tone. It was Foxy. Gold panicked, will Foxy return to their group? Fear filled her thoughts. 
“You too!” Roxanne answered. Gold couldn’t understand why Roxanne was still nice to him. He broke up with her without saying a word, and suddenly he came back, but why did he come back? Gold stooped slightly and noticed Roxanne hugging Foxy. Gold felt like she was going to explode, she dreamed of coming out of her “base” and tell Foxy to get out, but she knew it wasn’t a good idea. Foxy wouldn’t be happy to see her, or Dark or Alex.
 “There was a lot going on when I left?” Foxy asked, there was no joy or empathy in his voice. That made Gold uncomfortable hearing Foxy’s dark voice. He sounded like he wasn’t happy to meet Roxanne. 
“A bit.” She suddenly heard Ash. It was dead silence again, which made Gold even more worried. 
“I missed you.” She heard Roxanne’s voice. Foxy didn’t say anything. He was always so dark, like something was bothering him. That’s a bad sign. Gold thought, he is up to something, I’m sure.
“I missed you too”, Foxy said, he suddenly added, “but not like I used to.” 
Gold noticed that Roxanne stopped hugging Foxy when he said that. 
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Roxanne asked confused. Gold saw Foxy still had his hands in his pocket, as if he had something in his hand.
 “You didn’t think I came back here to be with you again, did you?” Foxy said. Now there was anger in his voice. I knew he was up to something! This time I won’t spare him! Gold screamed in mind, she had the desire to pounce on Foxy and tear him to pieces. 
“Then why did you agree to come back?” Ash whimpered threateningly. Gold watched Ash defend Roxanne as if she felt Foxy was about to jump on her. Foxy didn’t answer, he just looked at Roxanne and Ash coldly. Gold has chills, are they going to fight?
“It’s best for you to leave. It’s best for us, for you and for Roxanne.” Ash said. 
“For us?” Foxy repeated, then raised an eyebrow. 
Is he hollowing her out?  Gold wondered. 
“Foxy, please, if you’re still mad at me, I’m sorry.” Roxanne said in desperate voice. Gold was in anger, she wanted to attack Foxy and protect Roxanne and Ash, but something told her to stay in hiding.
 “I’m mad at myself, but only because I fell in love with you.” Foxy replied, this time he sounded emotionless and calm. Gold trembled as she noticed that behind Foxy’s back various people were coming out of the bushes. This is a trap! Gold thought horrified. Gold was shocked when she saw Alex’s boyfriend, Alfa in the crowd. 
“I want to fix my mistake.” Foxy muttered and took a knife out of his pocket. Gold trembled with fear. Foxy wants to kill Roxanne? It’s not her fault he loved her. 
“You must leave our house now!” Ash screamed loudly. Foxy ignored Ash’s warning, Gold noticed Foxy was only looking at Roxanne. 
“I'll fix my mistake by killing you.” Foxy said. 
No! No! Gold thought terrifed. She rushed out of hiding and took Ash’s side with the battle position. Foxy didn’t seem surprised to see gold. 
“Gold? What are you doing here?” Roxanne asked, her voice trembled with fear and shock. Gold wouldn’t answer, not at that time. 
“None of us will let you kill Roxanne!” Gold screamed to Foxy. “Therefore I advise you and those villains to leave our house. And then we forget the situation.”
Foxy gave Gold an emotionless look. 
“Exactly, get out of here!” Ash agreed. Gold looked at Alfa standing near the unknown man. She always thought Alfa and Foxy were enemies, but she was wrong. He’s working with him to make sure Roxanne gets hurt. How can he? Gold thought. She thought Alfa was worse than Foxy.
“I’m not leaving “your house” until Roxanne is killed.” Foxy growled.
 “You shouldn’t come back!” Gold growled angrily. Foxy raised his eyebrows, looking at Gold. 
“You’re the reason I was with Roxanne. I wish I hadn’t listened to you, Gold.” Foxy said.
 “You didn’t have to listen to me if you didn’t want to, it’s your fault!” Gold answered. Roxanne squeezed herself between Gold and Ash, Gold was confused, not knowing what Roxanne was doing. 
“I trusted you, Foxy. I trusted you more than Gold or Ella. Why are you hurting my heart again?” Roxanne asked quietly and calmly.
“Because you have hurt my heart too.” Foxy answered. Then Foxy snapped in a square, and his “group” attacked Gold, Roxanne and Ash.
 There are too many! Gold screamed in her thoughts. Two men attacked Gold. She tried to free herself from their grip, but they were too strong and too massive. She noticed that Ash was also nailed to the ground by two other men.
 “What are you going to do with us?” Gold heard Ash. Gold tried to free herself, but that was unsuccessful. He wants to kill us, just like Roxanne. Gold was aware.
“Now you will watch me fixing my mistakes.” Foxy replied gloomy. Two men forced Gold to lie down on her side so she could see Roxanne and Foxy.
“Roxanne!” Ash was screaming and trying to break free. 
“You don’t have to do this.” Roxanne told Foxy, Gold noticed that Roxanne was calm.
“I have to, I don’t want to feel bad.” Foxy answered her. When Foxy jumped at her, Roxanne slipped out and hit him, but Foxy was able to keep his balance. Gold watched  helplessly, her whole body lose strength due to two men pushing her firmly to the ground. When Roxanne fell to the ground, she was immediately clamped by Foxy. 
“Do you have a few words before I put you to sleep, Roxy?” Foxy asked. Gold was afraid Foxy is talking calmly, she had a feeling he was preparing for the day to kill Roxanne. Gold tried to escape the attackers again, slapping one of her opponents with the feet, but she felt another intense pain when another Foxy's servant brutally crushed her to the ground. I have to save Roxanne! Gold screamed desperately in mind. She saw Foxy preparing to stab Roxanne, aiming at her heart. Roxanne was silent and trembling. Foxy tried to stab her when Dark attacked Foxy. When Gold saw that her opponents were not holding her, she aggressively beat one by one and stood up. Gold rushed to Ash, attacked the opponents, and hit them as hard as she could, when the attackers let Ash go, Gold helped her to stand up. They both went to Roxanne and defended her. 
“What’s he doing here?” Dark asked. “I thought you left.”
“Because I left,” Foxy threw Dark out of the air and raised a knife. “But I’m back.”
 Dark gave Foxy an angry look, Gold saw Alex, Lillie and Ella behind them. Gold was relieved that everyone was here and could stop Foxy and his servants together.
 “Leave our territory at once, you’re not welcome here.” Ella said. Dark was watching Foxy when he was watching them. 
“I’m not leaving until I kill Roxanne.” Foxy anwsered. 
“You know that, we won’t let you kill her!” Gold growled. She was willing to protect Roxanne, and she wouldn’t let anyone hurt her. Lillie approached them and seemed confused and confused about the situation. 
“Who are you?” Lillie asked Foxy. Foxy stood up, Gold thought he was going to attack. 
“It looks like those bastards didn’t tell you anything about me.” Foxy said. Lillie fell silent when she heard that, Roxanne walked up to Foxy. 
“We don’t want to fight, get out of here.” Roxanne told Foxy. Gold has moved closer to Roxanne in case Foxy attacks her. 
“Let’s have some fun.” Foxy answered. 
“Alfa! What are you doing here?” Alex asked puzzled. Gold saw the pain and fear in her eyes. Alfa didn’t say anything, he just looked forward. What a heartless idiot. Gold thought. 
“Attack them.” Foxy ordered. Gold trembled as each enemy rushed towards them. 
“We can’t give up! We are fighting for our territory!” Ella screamed to the members. Gold attacked the tall man, slapped him hard in the stomach and threw the enemy to the ground. Gold escaped the enemy, tried to find Roxanne or Ella in an aggressive battle, but she didn't saw them. Gold stunned the punch in the hand by the sharp tool Alfa hit her, Gold fell to the ground and groaned in pain.
 “I haven’t seen you in a long time, Gold.” Alfa muttered. When he tried to nail her, Roxanne rushed on him and punched Alfa. Gold stood up and felt a burning pain. She had no strength to fight. She noticed that her left arm was stained with blood, Gold was feeling like she is going to faint. Suddenly, she felt someone pulling her hand.
 “We have to get out of here!” She heard Roxanne. Where’s the rest? Gold asked in her mind. Gold closed her eyes and saw nothing but darkness.
