CHAPTER 7

Ace was wearing a t-shirt which hugged his body very nicely. Tegan couldn’t help but notice.

“Oh Christ I’m late!” Tegan cried out. She still had flour…on her arms, face and even her hair. She rushed out.

Jay switched on the TV like he did every morning.

BREAKING NEWS. STOPS.

Miss Sofia Drew, prominent businesswoman, was taken into custody a moment ago, following the discovery of approximately 160 pounds of cocaine, estimated to be worth $7 million at her residence. The entrepreneur is suspected to be associated with one of the largest drug networks of the world. Reports suggest...

Sofia Drew. Sofia Drew. SOFIA DREW. Jayden’s mind was swirling now. Oh God he knows her. It took him moments to come back to reality. He turned around and found everyone staring at the TV screen and having their shock moments.

Sofia Drew is Zade’s foster mother.

It’s all came back to Zade now. It hit him like a flood.

All of them slowy looked at Zade. His face was so still, he could be mistaken for a statue. For a long minute he seemed to take this in. Suddenly he jerked like somebody has stabbed him and his eyes widen. He's not staring at the Tv but somewhere else. Somewhere far far away.

Ace came near him.

The tide of memories pulls him, drowns him--

--Zade’s POV--

It’s that girl’s Birthday next week. What’s her name? Oh yeah Tegan something. Sofia told me to buy her a gift. I don’t know what to give her. I’ll ask Sofia to do that. Tegan’s been pretty nice to me. I think I should go to the party…..

The party was a formal one. In Tegan’s party only me, Ace, Will, Jayden and our foster parents were invited.

The parents, who look like they notice only each other and no one else in this world, are sitting together in the main living room. We kids, on the other hand, were hanging out in the balcony.

I walked with them to school every day but I hardly know what kind of people they are. But there’s one important point to be noted down. I don’t care.

They’re playing Truth or Dare, stupid teenage game; I mean we’re playing Truth or Dare. Because the bottle stops at me. Answer.

“Truth or Dare?” asked Ace, the blonde chocolate boy as I know him.

“Dare” Why? I have no idea; I’m just playing a game.

“Kiss Tegan or her mom.” said Ace with an innocent smile.

I looked at him like he’s joking. He’s not. I look at Tegan who doesn’t looked like she cares too. Oh well I don’t mind kissing an older girl. I don’t mind kissing any girl for that matter. But it feels like too much hard work.

I started when she’s not looking. I just want this to get it over with. She turned to look at me and her eyes widened and she backed away.

“I’m not kissing a small kid!” Tegan yelled. Yelling now? Couldn’t protest earlier my dear?

I was going to have a witty comeback but suddenly I heard something. It’s a shot.

A gun shot.

Suddenly we were all rushing towards the living room. A woman covered in black suit which stuck to her body turned to look at us. She had already killed the three men. Now she makes a sound of sympathy and shoots both the women.

She had killed all five o our parents.

The shot starts ringing in my ears. I’m pressing my hands against them. It’s like a continuous high pitched shriek. It hurt a lot. I feel liquid. Are my ears bleeding? I look at my fingers. No.

I looked up to find the woman with a complete black mask on, looking directly at me. I know nobody saw her eyes. But she was looking at me. Then she lifted her mask…..
