Devil's Snare by Sruthionyx (e novels to read online TXT) 📖

Alzea woke up a little early feeling hungover and tired. She freshened up, made herself some coffee, and sat by the window thinking deeply. Blake saw Alzea lost in thoughts somewhere and asked, “How are you feeling girl?”.

Alzea looked at Blake and said, “I am fine, better than yesterday I suppose”.

“So, are you going to file a complaint or something? I mean whatever happened was not okay”. Said Blake worrying about her roommate.

“No Blake, I won’t. It was dark and I haven’t seen his face; I don’t even know his identity. What am I even going to say? That a man with a deep voice attacked me? Besides, this is not my country. I am not a citizen; it will push me into more trouble, and going to NYPD won’t do any good either, I know about court cases and police officers they will take years to resolve. The best thing for me is to avoid clubs and things at this point, I will be careful from now on, that’s it”, said Alzea stating the facts. Blake nodded agreeing with her roommate.

“Why did you think that he is after you?” asked Blake wanting to know the reason behind whatever happened to her.

“I don’t know Blake, maybe he mistook me for someone else?” said Alzea taking her best guess.

“Whoever he is, son of a bitch needs to be arrested” cursed Blake

“Hmm, I couldn’t agree with you more, I hope he gets treated. It seems like he had some psychological problem, I mean that would be the most logical explanation for his erratic behavior, no one in their right mind treats people that way, right? I am also concerned about him hurting someone. I was lucky to get out, whoever his next victim is, might not be,” said Alzea concerned.

Blake was shocked, she got hurt and she was worried about someone else “This is why I love you more every single day Alzi. As I said, you are the most compassionate person I’ve ever met. I don’t know if it will serve you well, but it most definitely will cause you harm. This world is not meant for compassionate people Alzi. You need to stop being so full of life and start to be a bit rude to people, being nice will get you nowhere. Look where you were, partly it is my fault too, I dragged you there. I am sorry you had to go through it”, Blake said pitying her roommate.

“Not your fault Blake, it happened. You wouldn’t have stopped him even if you could”, said Alzea trying to convince Blake that it is not her fault.

The breeze blew and brushed Azlea’s hair to the side uncovering her bite marks “Oh my god what the fuck is that girl? Are those teeth marks?” asked Blake terrified looking at the indents on Alzi’s skin.

Alzea nodded, “who the fuck does that? sickening son of Vecna. You look like you were bitten by an animal girl, did you put antibiotics on it, the marks look deep”. Blake cursed loudly.

Alzea was hoping that he will not see him anywhere, but little did she know the devil always gets what he wants by hook or by nook, he will spill blood and guts but will not step back nor will he forsake his claim on his possession.

Somewhere in Upstate NY:

A 50-year-old woman called a man, “hello!! How are you doing?” asked the woman to the man on the other side of the phone call. “I am well, thanks to you. You have been giving us generous amounts of money for the past few years to keep tabs on your past sins”.

The woman chuckled “So I have heard. Seems like the money is keeping you well, you seem to have been doing well in the business huh?” asked the woman. The man responded, “hmm!!! Days change and people grow up and situations alter too, you should know that now that well more than anyone now that you are in a foreign land and became a millionaire”. Said the man with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

“Hmm!! So, is she still in India? how are her family members? are they still trying to dig into the past?” asked the woman wanting to change the topic. “I have been trying to call you to tell you this and you are not available. No, she is not in India, she left for the states a few months ago”.

“What? when did this happen? How come she is here?”, asked the woman shocked.

The man on the phone chuckled “you seem tense. Chill! it had been 15 years, people moved on and you should too, besides you don’t own the country, anybody can go anywhere and study”.

“No!! she is very determined. I saw that determination in her eyes even when she was a little kid, now that she is of age, she might investigate the past and if she starts to dig into it, I will be in trouble. How did you think I got this scar on my forehead? that little bitch hit me deep enough, when it comes to family, that bitch is capable of anything and everything”.

This time the man laughed hard. “Are you joking? You are an influential person in the states, she is a kid, what is she going to do? it has been years and I am sure she has forgotten everything”.

“Hmm!!! Maybe you are right, I am worrying for no reason. But I need her details as to where she is and what she is doing here, and what state she is in”. The man on the other side of the phone hummed a yes.

The woman hung her phone up and started to think about the time when she first committed her second murder, the first time she ruined a family, and tore them apart., Scarred a little girl for her life and caused her trauma. She is willing to do it again to secure the future of her and her loved ones.
