APOLLO

Something cold splashed over my face. I woke up in a sudden surprise. A dark cloudy sky came into my view. Heavy raindrops continued to fall down into me. I tried to move my body though I felt weak to make any movement. I could hear my heartbeat pounded fast and I hardly breathe at this moment.

A realization sunk deep inside my mind. I was outside the house while my already soaked body laid in the middle of street.

Wait. Why I was here in the first place?  What exactly had happened before I sleep with Aunt Jonah?

Auntie. Where is she? Does she know I'm here outside?

I started to freak out, and my mind went totally blank as hell. In short, I was messed up so bad.Then a familiar voice shouted my name.

"Apollo? Where are you?" She said in frantic tone.

I tried to speak up to response. No words came out from my mouth like there was a quick sand inside my throat, blocking me to reply. Panic began to spread wide into my system. I felt my chest had rise and fall like a crazy roller coaster.

I wanted to scream for her name. I wanted to tell her that I was here, and alive while the waves of distress had drowned me into the sea of silence.

"Apollo dear? Can you hear me?" Her voice was about to crack, any minute she would cry and broke down into tears.

I used all of my remaining strength to stand up from my own. I bit my lip as I could feel the severe pain stung deep in my both thighs. When a small white light in the far end had caught my eyes in relief. Maybe it was my Aunt Jonah! Maybe she is near in the streets and She was tirelessly searching for me the whole time. I just hoped she would not go farther.

Every step I made was the sharp pain I felt. I tried to walk slowly even my body was too weak. A miracle had showered upon me when I heard myself screaming for her name.

"Auntie! I'm here! Help me!" I said almost in a high pitch voice, and it was enough to catch the attention of my aunt.

The small light became bigger and brighter, as it blurred my eyesight. I immediately covered my face with two of my hands. When I felt my aunt hugged me tight, and I could sense of fear that grew inside of her.

"Apollo I thought I was about to lose you. It almost gave me a heart attack!" Aunt Jonah sobbed recklessly into my shoulder.

"Auntie. What's going on? Why you are acting so strange? And what exactly happened?" I exclaimed dramatically while my eyes are widened in bewilderment.

"They tried to take you away from me, Apollo, they come back again for us!" she stammered, and every words was hard for her to pronounce, since the fear had controlled her emotions.

"Who are those people auntie!? Tell me please!" I demanded, while I shook both of her shoulders just to have the answer from her.

"Apollo, they are the one's who killed your parents, and they were also here to catch you!" she blurted out while the tears flooded down to her wet cheeks.

Her words was enough to pause me in a deaf silence. Tears began to trickle down from my eyelids. I didn't know how to react to her, and all I know is the memories of the my bloody past is still chasing us.

This couldn't be true. I wanted tell myself that was all an illusion, another nightmare to wreck our peaceful minds. But hearing those bold words from my auntie made my world stumbling down into the depths of horror and distress.  

I closed my teary eyes, and took a deep breath. I could also feel my lips trembled in fear, as it goes down to my system.

Damn. When this madness would end?

If we surrender ourselves to them and be the pathetic losers?

If they hold us in captivity, would they ever release us?

If things get rough and cruel, would I ever see the beautiful face of my aunt?

And lastly would I ever smile again?

Aunt Jonah advice's was right. I had to be brave to face all my of demons. I need to prove myself that I could get through this. I need to be a strong man. That was my aunt's wish before ever since.

This time I need to protect her whatever it takes. No. They wouldn't touch any of us. Never. For she was my last beacon of light.

"Auntie. Tell me what exactly had happened after I lost my consciousness." I told her while I directly stared at her frightened eyes.

"Ok dear," Aunt Jonah took a long breath before she proceed, "after we slept together inisde your bedroom, something strange happened down from the stairs, like the sound of heavy footsteps, I woke up instantly because of it."

I gasped. "Then?"

"I didn't wake you up so you wouldn't be alarm on what's going on, I stood up from the bed, and I walked slowly towards the door," then she wiped her tears away from her cheeks. "I leaned my ear against it, and I started hearing voices like their having a conversation."

"Voices? How did they entered our house?" I asked her with curiosity.

"Apollo dear I don't know," she shook her head like a broken doll, "I was clueless on how they get inside our house without making any noises in the first floor, you know them, their movements are like cats, so quiet and smooth."

"Well that's bunch of smart cats, but they really look like a ugly freaking cat if you ask me." I humourly said, to lighten up her mood.

"Dear, they were not just some freaking cats, their also look like bouncers!" Aunt Jonah went on. "First they tried to open it and it didn't budge then they began slamming the poor door."

"Auntie what they look like? Is it horrible?"

"More than you think dear. They entered the bedroom. I saw three of them staring at us with a deadly gaze. I froze and my heartbeat pumped extremely fast because of them." She said.

"Wait auntie. How do I ended lying unconscious in the middle of the street? And how do we escape from them?" I asked her. I desperately wanted to know what really had happened.

"Oh that. Simple. Did you know dear I used to learn karate back in my younger years?"
Aunt Jonah smiled as she recalled her past youthful days. "I hit their stupid ass with my super high kick! And I slammed their face with your old baseball bat!"

"Whoa. Why didn't you tell me that before?" I said while my eyes opened wide in surprise.

I was literally shocked. I didn't expect my auntie could defend herself from those bad guys. What an unexpected revelation! With that. I love my Aunt Jonah even more.

"Apollo I didn't bother tell you that before and it wasn't a big deal actually," she shrugged. "Anyway, after I knocked them unconscious, I carried your body into my arms and I rushed outside the bed room, Well good thing you're not that heavy," then she laughed hard like a crazy woman.

I started to get piss. Again. Anyway. I would take back my words that I love her and anyone have a long rope? Because there's someone I need to strangle with a rope.

"Auntie." I warned her with my coldest stare.

"Haha. Sorry Apollo dear." Aunt Jonah said apologetically then her expression became serious, "after we left the house, we got separated."

"How?"

"Another three guys took you away from me, I cried so much Apollo dear." she answered with the tears in her eyes, "I tried to search you everywhere near the streets, I thought you were gone and luckily I found you here, I'm so sorry," after that she broke down and cried in tears again.

Tears spilled out from my eyes. I really felt she cares for me like she was my legitimate mother. I wouldn't want to lose her again and I don't those bad guys to lay a finger on my Auntie.

"Thank you Auntie. I'm so grateful to have you." I sobbed and I hugged her with warmth.

"Apollo dear I love you." Aunt Jonah said.

"I love you too Auntie." I smiled in tears.

Our moment didn't last long and was been interrupted by a deep high pitch voice at end of the street as We both froze. I stared at my aunt with a terrified expression.

A realization jolted to our horrified faces.

The bad guys. They found us.
