The door opened to reveal a smaller room, richly decorated. All the walls were draped with silk curtains that were either blue or pink. From the ceiling hung different Aztec masks and suits and in the corner to our right stood a cabinet shaped like a star. We opened the cabinet and saw that it was full of little bottles of opium. Tim pocketed two and took a picture of the whole cabinet with a plan to show them to the polic

The colorful death Fire and ashes
I was sitting on my bed, waiting. Waiting for a call from Ethan, waiting for the time to pass, just waiting. My parents obviously didn’t let me go anywhere by myself, which I understood. I talked to them. I told them how scared I truly was, how much I missed them, but I just couldn’t bring myself to tell them anything about the mine. I was too scared that the attacks would start again. So, I was sitting on my bed, going through my CDs and looking blankly at the posters that were hung above my bed. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t sleep, because then I’d be back in the mine again, I couldn’t read or watch a movie. I didn’t know why. I somehow just couldn’t find the energy in myself to do it. I felt powerless and weak. But at least I was back home and hopefully Ethan was too. My parents said I could go and visit Tim in the hospital the next day, I was waiting for that as well. My mom walked in my ro
The colorful death The hunt begins
Ethan sucked in a deep breath at Eztli’s words. He knew he hadn’t heard him in a really long time and while he told Noah that he was ready to face Eztli again, both of them knew that wasn’t the truth. Eztli’s words were cold and you could hear the poison they held. Noah and Rose were currently standing in front of the table with Eztli sitting across from them. Rose had a calm and calculating look in her eyes, her posture shined with strength and she looked ready to take down anyone that got in her way. Noah, however looked like her polar opposite. Ethan saw the way he was looking at Eztli and it was in a way no one would want to be looked at, ever. He was looking at Eztli with hot rage in his eyes, mixed with so much hate that one could almost see his intentions towards the man sitting across the table. While Ethan completely understood where Noah’s look was coming from, better than
The colorful death The meeting of tomorrow
We were all gathered around in Ethan’s room. Noah and Ethan were sitting on Ethan’s bed next to each other, I was sitting on a chair opposite of Ethan’s bed, Stone was standing next to the door and Rose was standing next to me twirling her knife between her fingers and looking at Noah while waiting for him to explain. He looked at Ethan and me and asked us if we wanted to tell our story or if we would prefer it if we did. Ethan and I immediately agreed that we wouldn’t want to have to relieve the whole thing all over again and so Noah started talking. He began with the day Ethan was kidnapped and told Rose a bit about Ethan and Eztli’s life’s as well. He continued with the story of Ethan being kept prisoner in the mine for so long, about being beaten up and tortured by Eztli. At this point I could see that Ethan had begun to shake a bit and lost a bit of color as well. I think that Noah noticed it as well becau
The colorful death Old friends come back
Once we heard those words, a deathly silence settled across the room. The only sound we could hear was the hustling and moving of people outside the room. We all looked at each other without saying a word, but we were all thinking the same thing. We had been so close to catching her, she was right here in front of us this entire time, and yet… I get why she ran; I mean she was a criminal and all that, but still, it would’ve felt so good to catch her. But at the same time, something else worried me. Why was she on the same floor as Tim? I understand that she worked there, but considering the fact that she knew that Eztli was caught, I was sure she did, why come to work? Why not just call in sick and stay at home, she’d be way safer that way. But she knew exactly what kind of injuries she caused Tim; she was a doctor after all. The thing she didn’t know however, was how long it would take Ti
The colorful death Lost without clues
As soon as I uttered those words, I could see the worry as well as disbelief mirroring in Noah’s eyes. But then again, even I almost didn’t believe it and I didn’t want to really. And honestly, why would anyone believe that? She was a criminal, a murderer, and what’s more important, she was wanted. She knew exactly what she did to Tim and those other girls, so it would be logical that would be taken to a hospital along with Ethan and me. Truth be told, Noah and I were currently walking down a different floor than the one were originally put in, so she probably didn’t really expect to see us there, but nevertheless, this was almost like a criminal coming back to their scene of crime; it was straight-up crazy and suicidal.I looked back at Noah, who started ushering me back to the elevators and then pressed number 8 again and the elevator began ascending, the numbers o
The colorful death Companions of nightmares
The ride to the hospital was straight-up horrible. I felt as if we were driving for hours, even though in reality, it couldn’t have been more than fifteen minutes. I drove to the hospital in the police car with Stone and Noah because Ethan and Tim went via the ambulance and there was only so much space in it. Besides, there were a few of the paramedics driving with them as well and they all had to sit somewhere too. The police car I was in was right behind the ambulance and Stone was driving as fast as he could and yet I still felt as if it was taking an eternity to get there.As soon as we got to the hospital, they took Tim to the emergency room and then showed me and Ethan the way to the rooms that we would be in while the doctors did some check-ups on us. I didn’t know what was happening around me. Everyone was tal

Because yes, of course I knew the person on the table. Of course, I knew his face and his smile and the way his eyes lit up when he smiled. I knew what his laugh sounded like and I knew what he looked like angry and worried an

Ethan and I were talking quietly when we suddenly heard screaming. It was Tim and if I had to guess someone had to be torturing him bad for him to be screaming this loud. Because he didn’t say a word after Eztli tasered
