  • Celeste and Xayne could be seen walking beside the road in a staggery motion.
  • "I always had plans to kill you Xayne but I’m gonna do it today".Celeste sang loudly.
  • "I am dead already'.She replied.
  • "How the hell did you leave home without a penny else we would board a cab".
  • "We had a vehicle".Xayne replied.
  • "We?,that's ridiculous cos someone just stole it because of you".
  • "I hope you now believe cute dudes are deadly?".She asked.
  • "Stop making excuses,you were so lost in him that you did'nt see him steal it".
  • "Can we stop talking please?,the percent of my strength left is just one".
  • "i'll grab a drink then with the $2 left in me".
  • "You got $2 dollars?".
  • "Sometimes we need to punish ourselves for our mistakes".
  • "Welcome to the psycho world,Celeste".
  • "It's called maturity".She replied moving away.
  • Xayne collapsed into the street chair and shut her eyes tightly but all she could see was the dude.
  • "Oh stupid brain,stop this shit already".She groaned and flew over the chair as the sounding horn came unannouced.
  • She rose up slowly from behind the chair and was shocked to see Celeste's Car.
  • The glass slide down revealing the driver who smiled stupidly at her.
  • "You!".She screamed recognizing him as the suspected dude.
  • "Care for a ride". He asked.
  • "Sure".She said quickly.
  • "I'm gonna kill him".She mumbled inwardly moving at the vehicle.'
  • She made to open the door but it drove off and she scoffed.
  • It came to halt few metres away and he streched out of the window.
  • "Sorry i hit the accelerator by mistake".
  • "Don't even think of postponing your death?".She whispered moving at the vehicle again.
  • Almost getting to there again it drove off and came to halt.
  • "Sorry my bad again".He annouced and then she realized he was fooling her.
  • She raced at the vehicle and it rode off giving her no option but to chase.
  • He was smart enough to drive slowly giving her hope that she was going to catch him
  • but she was blinded with anger that she didn't think of it.
  • She finally gave up the chase and collapsed to the ground weakly.
  • The vehicle reversed to where she was and he got down.
  • Xayne breath heartlesly staring at his face,she rose up quickly to grab him but he got in already.
  • "I'm just lending the vehicle".She heard his voice as she laid back on the ground.
  • 'I'm going to kill you".She cursed under in her breath.
  • "Have this $10 dollar, get a cab, go home, I might come take you for dinner". She could hear his voice as she shut her eyes.
  • She was too weak to even mutter a word.
  • She felt something soft on her skin and opened her eyes to see currency notes dropping on her.
  • The vehicle drove off leaving her alone, She brought out her phone to call cops for help but paused.
  • "We tried already". She whispered and staggered to her feet.
  • "Hey I've been searching for you". Celeste screamed out running toward her.
  • "Can you believe the idiot drove by and even offered to give me a ride?".
  • "Um ride?".
  • "Yeah, the other ride, vehicle ride idiot".
  • "That's right.. Seriously?".
  • "He was just playing with me, I try to get in, he drove off and look what's he's done". Xayne said looking around.
  • "Those are mine, I left them in the car, fvck!". Celeste cursed picking the currency notes.
  • "$10". She added arranging them.
  • "That fateful day we meet I'm going make sure I kill him, what's the price of a gun again?".
  • "Do I look like an Ammunition Merchant?". She asked.
  • "Can we get a cab now? Whereas where are the drinks you bought".
  • "I was so tasty so.....".
  • "Oh really? You know what I'll solve your case when we get back".
  • "We're still going to the club".
  • "Yes".
  • A Cab came to halt in front of the Club and the girls down with a tired look.
  • “Going to Ken’s Midnight Club by the day.hoping yesterday doesn’t repeat itself”.Xayne said.
  • “The only thing I’m worried about right now is my fvcking car; grandma got it for me with her life earning”.
  • “We’re gonna get the car back C,trust me”.
  • “Am trying hard to okay but I can’t,Can we just go please,lead the way”. Celeste suggested.
  • Xayne exhaled and entered in with Celeste following behind.
  • They were welcomed in by the loud Jazz music from different corners of the place.
  • “No guards,cute”.Celeste said watching the men at the bartender’s table.
  • “I know you two”. They heard a voice and turned back to see their worst fears.
  • Celeste took steps back quickly as she approached them from outside.
  • “You two were the starers last night “.She announced raising her hands up.
  • “Um actually…..”. Xayne stressed.
  • “Keep your filthy mouth shut!”.She cursed.
  • “I am Xayne Cruz”. She said quickly as the woman made to grab her by the arm.
  • “Xayne Cruz, It’s really you, according to description I expected something smaller”.
  • She walked away beckoning at them with her fingers as she swayed her waist.
  • “That was easy”. Celeste whispered and they followed after her.
  • They got to an empty table and sat around it.
  • “Tequila please”. The Lady said loud as turned to them.
  • “Are you lovers?”. She inquired.
  • “No we don’t take Tequila”. Celeste said forcing a smile.
  • “I mean you both”.She corrected and they tried hard not to laugh.
  • “Actually best of friends”.Xayne said quickly.
  • “With the dancing last night I thought……”.
  • “Not at all, Just friends dancing dancing thing”. Celeste cut in sharply.
  • “If you say so”. She replied and the bartender arrived with the bottle and glass cups.
  • “They don’t want to get crazy right now, so one would do, thank you”.She said and took one of the cups.
  • She opened the bottle and poured in the content which she did gulp in.
  • “So you both wanna go into the boxing thing?”.She asked.
  • “No just me”. Xayne replied.
  • “That’s right, I was wondering why two, so you’re Xayne Cruz?”.
  • “Yes I am”.
  • “And you?”. She inquired staring at Celeste.
  • “Celeste Moon”.
  • “Were you born in outer space?”. She asked.
  • “No…”.Celeste asked staring at Xayne.
  • “Not to worry the tequila hasn’t kicked in yet, am always curious, well I am Mirabel but call me Mira”.
  • “Noted, nice meeting you Miss or Mrs Mira”. Xayne inhaled heavily.
  • “You look really distressed”.
  • “No, I’m totally fine”.
  • “Um now to business, how may matches have won before?”. She inquired.
  • “Non actually”.Xayne answered.
  • “The talks were true after all,we have a lot to do, Miss Cruz”.
  • “I know that,I’m still a beginner”.
  • “Hmm you look determine so….ouch I think I have to use the restroom”.She said rising to her feet.
  • “Alright then,I’ll be waiting”.
  • She nodded and walked.
  • “She speaks and act weird”.Celeste whispered.
  • “Someone who beat a man to pulp last night,such people are weird”.
  • “Like you,Cruz”.
  • “Not now Celeste”.She replied and noticed a dude in a red leather jacket at the bartender’s table.
  • “Are you alright?”.Celeste inquired.
  • He turned after collecting a bottle from the bartender and she got a glimpse of his face.
  • “Bitch!”.She cursed rising to her feet as she recognized him.
  • “Xayne are you alright?”. She inquired.
  • “I was”.She replied.
  • “What’s the jail term for murder again?”.
  • “It's death in most causing but if you're life imprisonment,why the hell are you asking?”.
  • “Don’t come with me Celeste, I think I need the restroom too”. Xayne said walking away.
  • “Why would I go with you to the restroom”. She inquired and everyone close turned to her.
  • “HIsh! Did I say that aloud?”.
  • Xayne approached the dude stealthily as he sat but he suddenly rose to his feet and walked away.
  • She quickly increased her watching him head for the exit behind the bar.
  • “Hey!”. She cursed out racing to grab him.
  • He quickly opened the door and walked out but Xayne grabbed the knob just when the door was about to close and pulled it open, lo and behold she couldn’t find him.
  • “What the fvck?”.She cursed stepping out.
  • She looked around wondering how he could vanish so fast.
  • “I........was I imagining that or my brain is actually showing me what I want?”.She soliloquized.
  • “No,No,No brain,what I want is me killing him with my bare hands”.She added but paused feeling something like a breath behind her.
  • “No,there’s no one behind you girl”.She whispered and turned back swiftly.
  • There she was face to face with his cold lips that had an evil smirk.
  • She almost screamed as she fell to the ground in shock.
  • Xayne quickly raised her head to see him again but he wasn’t there anymore.
  • Shocked to the marrow she rose up slowly with infinite questions running through her mind.
  • “He was here right, not here, definitely this spot”. She said pointing around.
  • She exhaled heavily running her fingers through her hair.
  • “Am I truly a psycho or a ghost decided to pick on me?”. She inquired and scoffed.
  • Turning to leave she saw a bottle of tequila on the ground which she hesitated before taking it.She removed the band holding a piece of paper to the bottle and opened it."Miss Xayne Cruz, you really do have plans to kill me?, be here by 9pm today for your friend`s vehicle,come alone please". She read and scoffed retreating the piece of paper."He was close the entire time".She whispered and paused for a while."Hello,If you can hear me ,listen carefully,I am gonna fvcking kill you".She announced loudly before walking away.Someone in a red jacket could be seen watching her from the top of the skyscraper where he stood."I think I am beginning to like this City". He whispered and flew off the height.
