Chapter 47: Please, come back.

~Isla

I avoided her attack and attempted to knock her off balance by grabbing her feet, but she jumped and kneed me on the jaw, causing me to stumble a few feet away from her.

Shit!

My jaw feels like it's been dislocated. I hissed, wiping the blood from the corner of my lips. She gave me a blank stare while smirking evilly.

I got to my feet, ignoring the pain. She drew a dagger from her back and lunged at me, moving so fast that she hit me on the right arm. I noticed an opening on her left feet and quickly took advantage of it by bending my body and sweeping her feet, causing her to trip.

"Please, Luzy, return to your senses. Fight back against that fucking chip on your head!" I clenched my teeth.

"It's me, please. I'm Isla." My voice broke, taking a backward step closer to the monitor, and she instantly rolled over, dashing towards me. I easily sidestepped her attack, and she quickly spun her arms around, hooking me on my neck and pinning me down.

"You're nothing but just a duplicate of me." She spit in my face.

Fuck! She's strangling me to death, I gasps as my vision blotted.

I wrapped my legs around her midsection, tightly gripping her arms, and rolled over, shifting our position. I was on top of her now. I grip her neck, but not tightly enough to choke her, and I look at her pleading. I took a hold on to her shoulders. Shaking her gently

"Please, Luzy, I'm your twin. Please don't let that chip eat who you really are! It's not you, Luzy. You’re not like this. Look at me." She complied and looked me in the eyes. For once I saw an emotion flash on her eyes but it didn't last a second, her eyes quickly turns into blank again but at least now I know she's fighting for herself.

"That's it. Luzy ..." I didn't finish what I was about to say when she quickly grabbed me down fast, batting me on the head. The force of the impact causes my vision to blacken briefly, and I feel a thick warm liquid dripping from my brow.

Bloody hell!

"Enough of this nonsense." She hissed, and I felt her kick me hard on the stomach, beating the air out of my system. I rolled few feet ad hit my back on the column.

I howled in pain as something cracks inside me.

She broke some of my ribs.

Get up, Isla! Remember that your sister is still missing at this point. She isn't the one you're battling right now! Fight her, just don't kill her.

That's right, Isla, don't let your emotions get the best of you.

This not you when you fight.

Fight her for your sister's sake.

I keep reminding myself. I feel another attack coming from her, so I slowly get up, ignoring the pain aching on my back as I waited for her to throw herself to me.

I didn't dodge her attack instead I caught her arms and spun her around slamming her on mirror wall making the glass broke down into pieces. I never looked at what happened to her, but in my peripheral vision caught her crouching on the side, clutching on her side from being hit by the wall.

I immediately dash to the monitor. A loud gunshot stopped me in my tracks as I was about to press the enter button. Something has struck my back leg, causing me to fall to my knees. I cast a glance in Luzy's direction.

She was now holding my gun.

Shit!

I hitch the edge of the monitor to support my weight since she hit me on my leg. She shoots me again, and this time it hit me in the gut. Another gunshot echoed and the bullet went straight to my chest.

I muster all the strength left in me and force my feet to stand. My finger was able to graze the button as another bullet went to my shoulders.

The next thing I know, my body falls helplessly to the cold white floor.

I saw her drop her gun and her eyes went wide as she saw me.

A smile form from my lips.

At least I have my twin back.

Too bad, I wasn’t able to give her a hug.

~Seth

With a devious grin on his face, he strikes me with a blow that I barely miss.

Shit!

I had no idea he was faster than I thought. His grin widened as he saw my reaction. Tsk, I can’t wait to wipe that grin off his face!

He drew something from his back, and the next thing I knew, he was slamming his kunai into my face. I dock and then yank my dagger from my back. I use my dagger to block his kunai as it crossed between our faces. It's now my turn to grin.

"What did you do to her?" I spit on him as our eyes met.

"Who?" He's mocking me, and it's making my blood boil.

"Don't play fool, you asshole." I hissed, pushing him hard and thrusting my dagger into his chest. He manages to avoid it by sweeping my wrist.

I lurch his kunai to me, I bent my back and hoisted my feet to kick it. It flew few arm spans away. I smirk at him and landed a square punch on the face.

His head whipped sideways but I didn’t see his knees coming. The air knocks out from my lungs as the impact on his knees collided with my guts.

We fight like there's no tomorrow. He hit me hard on my face, but I was able to hit him back. I sidestep when he was about to blow another punch. I slam on his back with my front paws and kneed his face.

He was caught off guard and fell to the floor, but before he could get back to his feet, I kick him as hard as I could, knocking him against the wall.

"In Japan, I am not known as a Night Owl..." I proudly stated, pausing on the last.

I didn't give him a chance to recover before striking him across the face with my dagger. A long slit formed on his face, he wipes the blood that draws with his hand, and he looks at me furiously.

"You... aaaaargh" He didn't finish, he lunged at me drawing another kunai from his back. I docked, allowing his kunai to pass just above my shoulder, then I position my dagger in front of me and throw myself to him with all my force.

The moment his body made contact with mine. He froze, groaning, he drops his kunai and sweeping his gaze down to my hand, which held my dagger.

It was buried deep in his stomach.

I push it deeper, twisting the dagger inside him, fatally wounding him. I leaned in on his ear, ignoring the blood oozing from his mouth.

"... and Sitan in the Philippines for nothing." I whisper on him before harshly yanking my dagger and then kick him.

He staggered backwards, clutching his wound. I'm still not satisfied, so I bent down to my knees and grab his hair.

“Fuck you.” I didn’t reply to him instead, I sliced his head off with my dagger, let his body collapse, and then tossed his head somewhere else.

"Fuck you too." I mumbled, I stiffed a bit when I felt a presence behind me but I didn’t look back.

"Looks like my son didn't need help at all." My brows quirk as the intruder spoke.

What the hell is he doing here? I quickly turned to face him, an annoyed expression on my face.

"Dad? What in the world are you doing here?" I asked pissed off.

"What? I can't just sit there and do nothing while my soon-to-be daughter-in-law needs help." He scoffed.

"Also, I'm one of the reasons why all of this is happening." He added.

What does he mean by that? My mouth hangs open as I was about to ask him but he beat me to it.

"Nah, don't mind me. I'm just reminiscing the stupid things I did in the past, go find your fiancée." He looks at me with a regret on his face.

What the fuck is going on with him? He hadn't looked like this in ten years.

Fuck!

A squeal pop from his back!

Why is she here?

"Yah! Hon, don't be like that, if it wasn't for your past, you wouldn't have met me." Mom says scowling.

Damn? She is dressed in a black overcoat, a bulletproof vest, and a katana slung across her back.

"Mom!" I exclaimed, giving her a stern look that said, 'Go home now, you might get hurt.'

"Don't give me that look Seth, before your father tucked you into my tummy, I was once a mafia reaper. Right Hon?" She squealed again, clinging to dad's arm and pleading for his support.

"Now, Seth, go find my lovely daughter-in-law and don't worry about us. Nothing bad is going to happen to us, and we still want to see our grandchildren in the future." She giggled.

I saw a man approaching from behind them and was about to warn them, but mom threw a shuriken that I don't know where she got it from without looking behind her, hitting the man's head.

She sent me a sweet smile before dragging dad away to somewhere.

And yet here I was thinking that Isla's family had a lot of secrets, but I hadn't realized that my own family had a ton of secrets as well.
