《RESCUED AND RISEN》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Usually packing to go somewhere would take me days to pack but right now it wasn't like I had a lot of stuff here to pack. The only thing I had here was the few stuff Lucas had brought to me from my old apartment, though most of them weren't even unpacked from the duffel bag in the first place so it made it easier for me. I couldn't stop thinking about what I had learnt after meeting with Lucas' boss Mr. Giovanni Cavelli.
Of all the things I was expecting to happened or to hear never in a million years was I expecting to hear what I did. I was told that Mr.Cavelli was actually the boss of an Italian mafia, Lucas was second in command and so were the other guys up in that VIP lounge. I've also learnt that Lexi was Giovanni's wife and that they had just returned from their honeymoon, now that explains why Lexi openly dissed Lucas and he didn't respond. I guess he must've respect his boss and so he chose not to disrespect his wife. I was surprised to know they were married, I would have thought that Lexi was just the girlfriend or a fling at first. But everything that happened two nights ago was just pure surprises.
Like seriously? I knew that these guys were dangerous but a mafia? That was definitely a surprise for me. After Mr.Cavelli started to let me know why he had asked to see me, I sure did received a whole lot of death threats that I'm sure is going to stay in my mind for a long time especially the visual descriptions of the ways I'd die. The only exception to those were if I kept my mouth shut about what I had learnt. Since Lucas was apparently keeping me confined to his apartment until his boss determined my fate, I was now allowed to leave. Could you believe it? I was getting off my prison sentence for good behavior, I guess.
Since not being home for over a month now I lost my apartment therefore I was going to stay with Katie until I could get back on my feet again. When I had called Katie to let her know I was indeed alive and well she was so excited and freaking out over the phone about how she was scared something horrible had happened to me. She and Nora wanted to report it to the police but said they were threatened to keep their mouths shut, I know exactly by whom. When she asked when she was going to see me again and I told her as soon as I had a place to stay, Katie was glad to ask me to come stay with her. After the whole Alfredo thing she was lucky enough to get a job as a bartender and she took Nora in as well until she got a job too.

So today I was moving out of Lucas's apartment to go stay with Katie until I got a job and can afford to pay for my own apartment once again. I was surprised that Lucas was letting me go after all after how much he pretty much chained me here before. After I've finished gathering the few things I had I decided I was ready. Upon reaching the living room all I saw was Greta and a new guy waiting there.
"Hi" I greeted as I saw them there.
"Are you ready to go now?" The guy asked me with a serious expression.
"Yeah, but uhm...where's Lucas? I thought he was going to take me" I said confused.
"Lucas is busy, he asked me to drop you off " the guy said to me.
"Oh" I said a bit disappointed though I tried not to let them see that.
I don't know why but I was feeling a bit disappointed as I was hoping I could at least see Lucas before I go, to sat goodbye. For the past month I've wanted nothing more than to leave and not be anywhere near him but I was hoping that he would be the one to take me to Katie's.
"So, who are you?" I asked the guy.
"Carter" he responded. "So are you ready to go or not?".
"Yeah, yeah I am. I just need to..." I trailed off as I turned to Greta. "Greta, I'm going to miss you"
She had really grown on me and I had gotten to know her and she is one of the nicest person ever. I was really going to miss her.
"Oh, I'm gonna miss you too sweetie" Greta said as she gave me a hug.
"Thanks for everything you have done for me too" I told her as I wrapped my arms around her.
"You're welcome, its wasn't any problem" she smiled at me before adding "Alright maybe a lot of problem at first"
"Sorry about that" I laugh remembering the amount of trouble I gave her when Lucas brought me here at first. "Uhm...when Lucas gets back could you tell him...you know what never mind"
"See you dear" Greta smiled at me.

"Yeah, bye Greta" I waved before leaving behind Carter.
The ride with Carter to Katie's apartment was silent except for the sound of navigation. After Carter had led me to his car, he had asked the address and ever since I had told him we didn't speak after that. It isn't like I had expected us to have a conversation or anything we don't know each other, but comparing to Jay who Lucas had asked to watched me before this guy was more serious and doesn't seem to like small talks. Once I reached Katie apartment complex I grabbed my bag as I got ready to get out of the car. The silent and everything was just creeping me out, I so wanted to get away from Carter his seriousness was just eerie. Doesn't any of these guys know to smile or something.
"Thank you for the ride" I said to Carter as I went to open the door.
"Yeah sure" Carter nodded. "Before you go Lucas wanted me to pass on a message".
"He did?" I asked surprised.
"He said you better stay clean. Don't even think about getting hooked again or involved with any drugs or drug dealers" Carter said to me.
"Of course" I said as I went to get out.
"Seriously, stay away from drugs and the temptations. You get even 1% involved or mixed up with that thing again and you automatically becomes a blabbering risk once again. If you get involved with drugs again, Lucas will know and he's going to come for you" Carter replied.
"Okay I won't" I said before stepping out the car.
"You'd better not, this isn't a joke. It's a warning" Carter said before speeding off.
Okay...so that was probably the most words he's said to me since we met this morning. And he knew my name? Should I say a big surprised there?
As I made my way up to Katie's apartment I couldn't help but feeling glad at the freedom. The first thing I was going to do after I put down my bag and settled in was go visit my mom.
As I reached Katie's door I raised my first and started knocking. A few seconds later I heard her shouting that she was coming. The minute Katie opened the door and found me there, she dragged me inside and practically attacked me.
"Oh my god Amy!" Katie yelled as he jumped on me. "I was so worried, I thought something happened. I..."
"Katie I'm okay" I chuckled. "Though I won't be for much longer if you don't get off me"
"Oh sorry hun, I'm just so glad and excited to know that you're okay and you're here" she said as she let me go. "What happened? That guy that took you ...is he..."
"I'll answer all your questions soon Katie, just give me a minute to catch my breath" I said to her.
"Right" Katie smiled before pulling me in another hug. "I'm just so glad nothing bad happened to you"
"I know" I said to her.
"Well I'm here attacking you before I invite you in" Katie said as she took my bag from me. "Come on"
As I walked in the living room, I started to wonder if I had made the right choice coming to stay with Katie, once I saw what was on the coffee table. Carter's warning immediately started replaying in my head. These are the kinds I'd temptation Lucas meant.
"Uh... Katie were you doing drugs?"
Sorry for the lengthy wait but there you go. Sorry for any errors that may have been present. Anyway stay tuned for another chapter again soon.

8 1283Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
