"Behind those eyes, there's a girl in there desperately trying to break free. A girl who needs to be wanted so she can escape. 
        I'll be your redemption. " 

     "Stare at the devil's eyes head on. 
Demand an answer and free your self from his shackles..  Only you can do that. "


He helped her, some say he saved her but in the end... He left her.  

    Munachi Odumba the former outcast of Emerald Academy has evolved a lot since the first day she walked into the school.
    From being laughed at, avoided, respected by teachers, dating the most popular boy in school, mourning his absence, moving on with his best friend-second most popular boy in school, adjusting to his return and learning how to let go, she's been through it all. 
   Now she has friends who have proved that they'll have her back in any situation, friends she'd learnt and grew with, friends she would be willing to kill for, the type of friends that she has always wanted.  
      She's learnt how to forgive, learnt how to move on, learnt how to harness and turn her negative emotions into positive impacts and now she's stronger than ever but the one who was once her greatest strength and the only reason why she'd evolved so beautifully is now the weakness she has to either overcome or learn to live with.

The Mafia's Mercy

10 parts Complete Mature

I stepped into the doorway, turning back to look at him as he tucked his hands into his navy blue jean's pockets. Despite my obvious insecurity, I leaped against my timidity, asking, "Will I ever see you again?" There I was, standing with the door wide open before a man that I didn't know, begging that he'd say that he'd be interested in seeing me again some day. After a brief moment's silence, he stepped toward me, closing the short distance between us. The knuckle of his index finger gently lifted my chin, the pad of his thumb brushing the shadow beneath my lips. My heart fluttered in my chest, my eyes drawn to his compelling ones as he murmured, "I'm dangerous, doll. I'd do you good if I stayed away." I should've left it alone. I should've listened and shut the door, but I didn't. I couldn't. ~the Mafia's Mercy~ She saw it happen, but she was smart enough to pretend she didn't. She understood why it happened. She understood why it had to happen. What she didn't understand is why they didn't hurt her brother. What she didn't understand is why they didn't hurt her. From the moment she laid eyes on him, she knew her life was set to change forever. The Mafia doesn't kill your parents and leave witnesses behind. How do they make the best use of them? When they're adolescents, they don't dispose of them. Instead, he plans, nurtures, and when he's ready, he exploits.
