REVERSED

The Resumption of the War

ZEKEIE

I can't stop the trembling I feel,..have I been careless?why did it come to this...I am now driving to the place where eli was taken,.. Queen is on her way there too,...wait for me, Eli...I know I've done a lot to you but I still hope you'll understand that it's all for your sake...this is the only way we thought of to keep you away from the bloody and chaotic world of mafias...but destiny made a way for us to reach this situation..i hope whatever you heard from them about your past, you will still choose to be the eliejah i know. ..I hope we are not too late.....

I stopped not far from the abandoned house...I waited for Queen to come...we have to be careful,..I see armed men guarding every corner of the house,..while waiting, my phone suddenly rang,...unregistered number,. .

"Hello"....

"No need to wait for Elizabeth..she will be late,..come inside".....I heard an old man's voice,...on the other line...is he what I think he is?....fuck....this is really bad..

I immediately got out of the car after that call,..I was about to enter when I was stopped and my gun was taken...when we got to a room it immediately opened and there I saw Eliejah with his hands and feet tied while sitting...he looked at me...I couldn't read what was in his mind.."Eli"...he just stared at me when I called his name....suddenly someone spoke from the side, I didn't notice him right away because I was looking at Eli..

"You must be ,Zekeie the dragon king"......the old man said without hesitation

"And you must be the king phoenix "....I answered him back and I look at Eli again,..I'm wondering if this old shit already told eliejah the truth...

"you must be wondering if I told him already about his past,..why don't you ask him eliejah if everything I told you is true"....

This old shit,..he really told eli...we are too late Queen,..where are you Queen....Eli didn't speak or ask he just stared at me...the nervousness I felt earlier came back again,..nervous not because I'm afraid to die,..nervous because I don't know what Eli is thinking at this time...I was about to approach Eli when we heard an explosion

"what did i tell you eliejah?your mom will save you no matter what,..she won't be called the queen of Assassin for no reason".... the old shit said as he laugh....

soon there were gunshots outside,...

"I asked you several times if you're hiding something from me,..why did you lie to me"....I heard eliejah said as he slowly raised his head and looked into my eyes..

"Baby"....that's all I can say..I know that I messed up everything....this is the worst feeling I ever felt...the hurt on Eli's eyes broke my heart...

I was about to approach Eli when a bullet hit my shoulder

"One more step and not only your shoulder will be hit"...the old shit said as he was holding the gun pointed at me....
I didn't move again,..eliejah was still tied up...

"don't worry,Elizabeth will be here soon to save both of you"...

after the old shit said those words, the door suddenly opened and there came out a woman dressed as an assassin, with a gun in both hands....finally she's here....

"how are you my dear daughter"....

Queen didn't bother answering the old shit,..she walk towards eliejah and untied him...

"This old crazy man must have told you everything love"....I heard Queen said in a low voice

"Yeah,..so its true...is this what you and Zekeie trying to hide from me?"

"Don't blame Zekeie, love...he don't know anything not until recently,..I just ask him for help to keep you safe "....as the Queen said those to eliejah.... she look at me afterward...

"Ze,..take eliejah away ".....she said as she stood up and hand over one of her gun to me,...

"you still haven't changed, Elizabeth...who gives you permission to kick them out of here "....

"I allow myself to decide"....after she said that,..in an instant, with her swift move,she was holding the old man and pointed the gun...."go ,Zekeie take care of eliejah "....she look at Eli and said "love,..always remember that i love you always,..what ever happens from the past and now is not your fault,.I want you to live your life as a normal person, but it seems that despite everything I did to hide you away from this bloody world,..it still haunt us....Ashton will explain everything to you,love....I'm sorry for hurting and lying to you".....

Queen said as if she know it would be her last,...eliejah just looked at his mom,...no tears,no words ,no reaction at all....

I held Elijah's hand tightly as we walked away from that room...

When we were near the exit, Eliejah suddenly let go of my hand, I turned and called him

"Baby ".....

"Why? Why did you lie to me Zeke?.. Eliejah staring at me while his eyes are filled with tears,the hurt he was feeling right now,the lies ,the betrayal.....

"Babe,please listen to me..hear me out ...I will explain everything to you,but let's get out of here first..this is not the safe place to talk" Zekeie replied with a begging eyes

"No, I want to hear it right now ,right here"...eliejah said

"Baby,..please"..Zeke

"I asked you several times zeke,..I was hoping that you will tell me everything ,that you will trust me"...

"Baby ,I'm sorry"....

"Do you really think that I won't know all of this?do you really see me as dumb ?,..Ze,I trusted you, the moment I let you in into my life,.I already give you all of me"..

"Baby ,I'm sorry ,..I know I messed up everything,..let me make it up to you "...

Zekeie was about to reach Eliejah hands when all of a sudden he saw eliejah pale face,it was very fast...in a blink of an eye,..he was pulled by Eliejah and he heard a gun shot...a gun shot,.when he realized what had happen he saw a blood from eliejah back,..he was hit ....zekeie face become pale and tears start flowing...

"No, baby please,...No"

"Ze,...If I could turn back time I'd rather not meet you,..."

"No,baby please I'm sorry...dont talk right now, I'll bring you to nearest hospital "...

"No need Ze,..I don't think I can make it"...

"No ,baby please"..

"Thank you for teaching me how to love and for breaking me into pieces"....

Eliejah said as he slowly close his eyes... fuck no...why did all of this happened, fuck....I lost him again and now I don't know anymore, he was hit 3 times at his chest ,...God...I was just crying my heart out ,..I can't move,..then Ashton come...

"Fuck zekeie, what happened to eliejah, you're supposed to protect him,fuck..."....ashton push me and take eliejah to the car.....before they even got to the car, a man came up behind Ashton, I immediately stood up and kicked the man

"Take care of those bastards,I will take eliejah out of here"...ashton said as he look back

"Please,ash save eliejah "....

"I won't promise you anything zekeie, you should have done the best you can to protect him".....
