THIN LINES BETWEEN DEATH : CHAPTER 21 – 30
By Summer Gold R.
“I’m not going to stay away from you…..never” Liliana answered and Kian blinked.
“What are you talking about?” He asked and Liliana somehow captured her emotions back,she swallowed and moved a little bit away.
“I mean,I won’t stay away from you if you keep on going after my sister” she said with a little frown.
“Which means…..you want me to…..”
“Stay away from us,the both of us,if you don’t want trouble” She said and walked out of the restroom,the door closed loudly behind her.
Kian was the one lost in thought about earlier,he was still confused,that doesn’t seem like she wants him to stay away like she claimed,but what exactly is her deal?
“Dude! Are you even here at all?!” The loud scream behind him made him turn.
Saint,Daven and Knox were all staring at him. They waited to do some more practice and just five minutes of break made him lost in thought.
“Is everything good?” Knox asked.
“Yeah” Kian nodded.
“It’s almost eight, let’s eat dinner together. Restaurant of my place?” Knox grinned.
“Restaurant” Saint and Daven said and Knox scoffed.
“What about you?” Saint asked Kian.
“I’m in” Kian mumbled.
“Then,let’s go. I know a very good grill restaurant,their Porks are the best” Daven smiled.
“Perfect,then lead the way” Saint wrapped his arm around Kian’s neck.
“Move away” Kian groaned and pushed him off slightly.
“He doesn’t like to be touched,unless it’s me” Knox said.
“What are you saying” Kian scoffed.
“Just let him be” Daven sighed.
They all carried their bags and walked out of the court.
“We are the only ones in school” Saint shook his head.
“What do you expect?” Knox chuckled.
“But honestly I’m amazed,Kian,you were lying when you said you don’t know anything about basketball,you’ve got skills” Daven spoke up.
“I knew he was lying,he’s a badass player” Knox said.
“Where did you learn how to play?” Saint asked when they got to the parking lots.
“I didn’t learn,I just did whatever” Kian mumbled and climbed on his bike,,the three guys stared at him.
“His whatever that he mentioned….is better than mine” Daven said before he entered his car and drove out,Saint and Kian followed in their cars as well and Kian was behind them.

9PM, A DROP ZONE*
Bianca,Scylla and Liliana are all leaning on their car,it’s a dead quiet zone,but as usual they are all prepared for whatever happens.
“Those bastards should do better when they are here,I hate people who keep me waiting” Scylla rolled her eyes and brought out a cigarette from her pocket.
“They are here” Bianca announced shortly after and checked the time as another car stopped in front of their own.
The three girls stood close to each others,their shoulders almost touching. Liliana is the one holding the briefcase of drugs.
Firstly three came out of the first car and adjusted their suits,then they bagan approaching the girls.
“You are late” Bianca spoke up.
“We are sorry,had to make sure everyone was clear enough for this” The man in their middle said,his accent made it obvious that he’s asian,like a chinese or Japanese.
“No long talk” Scylla muttered and opened her palm.
The asian man gave his men a sign and the one on his right side placed their own briefcase on Scylla’s hand and Liliana also handed over hers to them.
After a thorough check up,they exchanged handshakes and the men started walking away.
Bianca was the first to enter the car,next was Liliana,but the second Scylla opened her own side of the car,she heard a swift turn behind her through her ear,immediately, she pulled out her gun and also turned quickly,the sounds of two gunshots were heard at once.
Bianca and Liliana immediately got down and as well brought out their own guns.
One of the men already dropped dead on the ground,Scylla’s gun didn’t miss,it never does. But what about the one the man shot?
“Are you okay?” Liliana asked after they finished off the remaining two.
“I’m fine,go take that briefcase” Scylla said and threw the money briefcase into the car.
Bianca glanced at her but said nothing.
Seconds later,they drove off.

STAR GIRLS CONDO, SCYLLA’S ROOM*
Scylla was covered in sweat,even under the AC,she released a groan when she was finally able to remove the bullet in her arm.
“F**k” she exhaled and dropped it in the stainless tray,her arm was covered with blood and she felt super weak.
She immediately opened the pain reliever pack and threw like four pills inside her mouth,she drank water and wiped her mouth.
She got up and cleaned up then went into the bathroom,she turned on the shower and then blood from her arm began washing.
After taking her bath,she dressed the wound up and put on some clothes,she took a car key and walked out of the room.
Just few minutes after she left, Liliana entered.
“Scylla?” She called and looked around.
“She went out again” She mumbled and her eyes fell on the pills on the table,she actually suspected something earlier but seems like she’s fine,to be able to go out.
She sighed out and was about going out of the room and she saw something on the couch,she stopped and walked closer. It’s a hoodie,the one Kian gave to Scylla last night.
Liliana clearly remember seeing that same hoodie on Kian,a frown appeared on her face as she took it and inhaled the scent.
The perfect scent of lavender coming from it cleared her doubt,only Kian smells like that,only him smells that good.
The door opened and Liliana quickly dropped the hoodie and turned to see Scylla.
“What,are you doing here?” Scylla asked when their eyes met.
“I just…came to see how you’re doing. I thought you went out” Liliana said.
“Yeah,I went to get some food at the nearest restaurant,interested?” Scylla asked and dropped the bags in her hands.
“What did you get?” Liliana joined her as they sat down on the floor.
“A lot” Scylla replied.
They already started eating when she saw the hoodie on the couch.
She bit her lips and sighed.
“Goodnight” Liliana got up after they finished up.
“Yea”
Liliana went out and Scylla locked the door,she groaned as she grabbed the hoodie from the couch,she actually wanted to throw it inside the waste bin before,but then paused.
She sighed out and opened her closet,she hanged it and closed it back,she opened her phone and took some pretty selfies,it’s been a while since she posted on her Instagram,after posting it with a weird caption that only she understands,she fell on the bed and closed her eyes.

NEXT DAY, PINNACLES UNIVERSITY*
Narisha scoffed as she read the comments under Scylla’s recent posts,she was so f**king mad with how everyone was busy hyping her up.
Scylla had a low waist short on and a shirt on top,the first three buttons undone,but her breasts weren’t visible in any way. The main focus was on her straight legs and tiny waist.
There were about 50k comments under the post and that vexed Narisha even more.
“What are you looking at?” Shine sat down beside her and saw Scylla’s picture on the screen.
“Oh you saw that already,,I’m sure all those comments are just because they are scared of her” Shine scoffed.
“You think so?” Narisha looked at her.
“Of course,everyone knows you’re far prettier than her….”
“Then why is Lotana obsessed with her? Why not me?” Narisha asked.
She looked around and saw the students also checking their phones,for this morning,Scylla is number one on the school trend at the moment.
Kian walked into the hall with Lotana at the same time,they didn’t come together,it was just a coincidence actually.
• Hi Kian!
• Morning Rocket.
• So cute
Kian managed to smile at the girls waving at him from every corners of the hall, he adjusted his face cap properly as he made his way to the back but suddenly a hand grabbed him and he turned to see Saint who winked at him.
“I kept a seat for you” He said.
“Oh…” Kian sat down. ” Thanks” he mumbled but it was shortened when Scylla came inside with her friends,not Liliana.
She was in the middle with Billie and Mandi on her sides,her face blankly expressionless even though the students wouldn’t stop murmuring among themselves.
They were walking to their usual spot,when suddenly Narisha got up from her seat and went over to sit down there.
The students exchanged glances.
“What’s that bitch up to?” Mandi frowned.
“Obviously,she want fight” Billie scoffed and led the way rather.
“Hey,little cockroach,get up” She said.
• What?
• Cockroach?
• That’s brutal
Laughter filled the whole hall.
“Hey! Who do you think you are to call her that!” Shine stood up.
” Did you eat garlic?” Billie asked and held her nose.
“I was about asking that” Mandi also fanned herself.
“What?” Shine’s eyes widened.
The laughters became louder.
“Girls” Scylla called from the back and they cleared space for her,she came closer and placed her two hands on the table.
Narisha also glared at her.
“Do me a favor” Scylla mumbled.
“Don’t get up from this seat” She said.
Narisha frowned.
“If you stand up today,I will kill you” Scylla said in a low but threatening voice.
“You are crazy” Narisha snapped.
“Then try me” Scylla smirked.
“Who do you think you are?” Narisha asked and stood up.
Scylla grabbed her hair and smashed her face on the desk,gaining gasps from the students.
“I told you not to stand up!!!” She screamed and smashed her face on the table again.
“Ahh!!! Let me go!!!” Narisha shouted,trying to release herself from Scylla but she wasn’t even half strong.
“Do not stand up,I clearly told you”
“She might kill her” Saint mumbled.
Kian wanted to get up but before he did,Lotana already rushed there and dragged Scylla away from Narisha.
“Let me go!” Scylla yelled.
Narisha raised her head up and everyone gasped,her face was covered with blood.
She stood still for a second and fell unconscious on the floor.
Some boys immediately carried her up and rushed out of the hall.
“F**k off” Scylla pushed Lotana away.
Her eyes met with Kian’s own and she batted her lashes before storming out.
“Geez,her anger” Saint shook his head.
“Guys sorry I’m late” Knox said as soon as he entered and joined them.
“Won’t she be in trouble?” Kian asked.
“As if anyone can question her” Saint chuckled.
Kian sighed and opened his laptop as the professor came in.
His eyes fell on Liliana who was just coming in with Kasia beside her,their eyes locked and he looked away first.

ROOFTOP*
The smoke coming out of Scylla’s cigarette was thick,she was aggressively smoking it with every rage inside her.
Even Billie and Mandi were sent away when they tried to calm her down.
She suddenly heard footsteps behind her and she turned at once,but a frown appeared on her face the moment she saw Lotana.
“I told you to f*ck off” She said threw the cigarette remains away.
“Are you mad at me?” Lotana asked.
Scylla scoffed.
“Do you hate me that much?” Lotana asked again. .
“You’re so slow,you just figured it out?” She glared.
“Yeah,I’m slow because I don’t really care if you hate me or not,I won’t give up anyway” He said.
“I love people who wish for death by themselves” Scylla smirked.
“You can’t kill me” Lotana smiled and moved close.
“Don’t make me angry” She glared.
Lotana moved her hair behind her ear and touched her jaw.
“You will be mine anyway” He smirked.
“Take care” He said and walked away.
Scylla scoffed but then suddenly winced when the pain in her arm hit her.
“I hate everyone,,ahhhhh!!!!” She screamed out.
Kian was walking alone when he saw Lotana coming as well,toward his direction and when he got close and was about passing him,Lotana pushed him out of the way with his shoulder.
Kian turned back and Lotana also turned,the hatred glowed in his eyes.
“Don’t let us cross paths” He said and left.
“Is he crazy? You didn’t say anything,why?” Daven and Saint joined him.
Kian said nothing.
“What are you talking about?” Knox came over too.
“I think he’s trying to pick a fight with Kian” Daven said.
“Who?” Knox frowned.
“Lotana”
“What?!” Knox glared.
“Let him be,I don’t have time for that” Kian sighed.
“If you do that,Lotana will keep on trying to bully you” Daven said.
“He wouldn’t dare do that,is he crazy?” Knox scoffed.
“Let him be…like I said” Kian mumbled and walked away.
“He’s totally weird,just how come he’s a viper boy and he doesn’t even know anything?” Daven scoffed.
“Watch your mouth” Knox glared at him and followed Kian.
“What’s with him? I’m saying the truth” Daven snapped.
“Stop it dude” Saint groaned.
Kenzo was watching from upstairs,his eyes followed Kian till he was out of sight.
“What are you staring at?” Oscar showed up.
“Whatever I wish” Kenzo rolled his eyes and left him.
• Ken!
Kenzo smiled at the girls who just called his name
• He’s so f**king hot.
He even ignored one of his flings who tried running to him as he walked,just the glare in bis eyes was enough to send shivers into her soul,she stood there and watched him leave.
*
“Narisha!” Shine rushed toward the bed when Narisha opened her eyes.
“Scylla,that bitch. I’m going to kill her” She mumbled and threw off the blanket on her body,they are in the school clinic.
“I don’t think violence will solve anything,you know you can’t do anything about it” Shine said and Narisha glared at her.
“I’m sorry,but please just let her be for now. I thought you said you have a plan,anything else would be better,aside fighting her” Shine said.
Narisha rolled her eyes.
“Did Lotana came to check on me or not?” She asjes.
“He went after Scylla instead” Shine replied.
Narisha scoffed and nodded.

9PM, LOG CABIN*
Immediately Scylla parked her car, she saw the light coming out of the cabin.
“Don’t tell me…that alien is here again” she scoffed, almost changed her mind and drive off,but then.
“Why should I be the one to leave? Why? Never” Her stubbornness spoke out for her and she got down from the car.
She scoffed and went inside the cabin.
She entered the living room and the first view she saw was…a complete shirtless Kian,he was standing and his back was facing her.
Scylla’s eyes couldn’t be controlled,she stared at him,shamelessly.
Kian put on his shirt and turned,he has a tea mug in his hand,their eyes met and Scylla frowned.
“Do you come here everyday?” She asked flatly.
“I could ask you the same” Kian replied,his eyes replaying on her.
“What are you looking at” She frowned.
“Why are you here this time?” Kian dropped the mug in his hand.
“Not your business” she snapped.
Kian left the living room and went in,he returned after some minutes with a first aid box.
“Who got hurt?” Scylla asked.
Kian ignored her and grabbed her hand,he pulled her toward the couch and made her sit down.
Before she could talk,he pulled up the arm of her blouse and she winced,,the wound was wet and she was feeling so much pain,she couldn’t even move her hand well.
“How did you…ouch!” She screamed as he torn the bandage she used to dressed it.
Kian opened the first aid kid and started treating the wound first.
“But…how did you find out?” Scylla asked,still confused.
“What wound is this?” He questioned her back.
“Gunshot” She mumbled and he looked at her face.
“There was…a mission last night” She said.
“It was all over, we were supposed to just exchange and leave,but they wanted to prove hard,it’s a pity I got shot anyway,but I killed Him,very coolly” She smiled.
Kian said nothing.
“If you wouldn’t answer me,why did you question me then?” Scylla scoffed.
Kian dropped her hand after he finished.
“All done” He said.
“Thanks”
Kian didn’t reply that either,he got up and went in.
When he returned,Scylla was already standing,and facing him directly.
“How can I pay you back?” She asked.
“Doing that doesn’t mean anything,it’s better to see an enemy alive,or it will be boring” Kian replied.
“I hate owing people,let me return the favor,just mention anything” Scylla said.
Kian slides in his hands into his pockets and took two steps closer to her,she immediately shifted back,her neck almost hurting as she stared at his face.
So f**king tall,calm and innocent face,but his body says otherwise.
‘F**k,what are you thinking?’ She cautioned herself and frowned.
“What is it” she asked.
“You will do anything…you say?” Kian asked.
“That’s right” She mumbled,but again her heart was beating fast,somehow she doesn’t trust him.
The smirk that appeared on Kian’s face was new.
“You look so small,looking up at me this way” He muttered and she frowned.
“I’m not short,you’re just too tall” She snapped.
Kian bent a little to her height.
“Just spill it out,I hate your face” She said.
“Take off your clothes” Kian said bluntly.
“What?!” Scylla’s eyes widened.
“Take off your clothes” Kian repeated and Scylla’s heartbeat started racing again.
