《the unwanted twin》chapter 86
Advertisement
It has been a week since Emilia had been taken and the family we're dealing with it in different ways.
Damon's anger had gotten alot worse. If his gang members didn't offer anything useful, if they didn't serve a purpose he would kill them. Alot of his enemies had been captured for information but when they didn't provide any information, he killed them slowly letting his anger out on them.
Alesandro was known to be calm and calculated. The first two days he was angry but stayed calm, then time progressed and all he could do was look for her. He only slept an hour a night if that, and that was so he didn't pass out from exhaustion.
Mason was in the Mafia but he preferred to stick to his legal work. Everyone knew when mason got involved it wasnt going to end well. He was calm for most part, he yelled at the members if they didn't work up to his standard but he took the majority of his anger out on the prisoners.
Dante was taking it hard he wasn't an official member, Alesandro didn't want his youngest son's too messed up so he had them stick to working instead of letting his anger out on the enemies. This worked to some extent only everyone feared him. The dodgy people who hung round back alleys were no longer there, they didn't want to get caught.
Matteo was in a similar position to Dante, only difference was matteo didn't hurt their contacts, he broke stuff. He hunted them down and broke cars, vandalised properties and it wasnt just their contacts.
Damon was especially moody today. He would destroy them when he found them. He needed his sister back. Everyone saw he was in a bad mood, everyone even his brothers avoided him.
"How is it none of you have come up with an actual lead. You keep chasing false leads, are you all that stupid, if so you don't have much purpose to me" Damon announced coldly to his members. They all shuddered in response.
Damons appearance had changed too, he didn't care about the fancy suits or the well kept hair. His hair was messy and made him look alot more deranged especially when he killed. His black t-shirt already had blood stains on and it was only 10am. His eyes held little emotion, there was anger and that's about it. Nothing could be seen. It was like looking into darkness. His tattoos which were often covered by his business suit were no longer covered. His gun barely ever left his hand.

"Which one of you wants to die first" he shouted waving his gun around.
Seconds passed before the gun went off. He hadnt shot the man to kill him only severely injure him. He had been slacking off and hadn't been doing his job properly. He had to be warned.
Alesandro walked in at this moment "stop killing them Damon, we need as many people as we can" he said. He was the only one who could speak to him these days.
"Well what use are they to me if they aren't doing their job" he snapped looking at them to find his next target.
"They are of no use" Alesandro replied, not happy they weren't doing their jobs. He didn't say anything else, he simply got out his gun and shot the injured man between the eyes "no fucking use at all" he then snapped.
"If I don't have an actual lead by the end of the day there will be more deaths " Damon declared.
"And just to clarify there will be torture involved " he added. He then joined his dad and the two walked to one of the offices.
"Any news" Damon asked.
"No but I have a plan" Alesandro said.
"I'm listening"
"Well we send out word we are no longer looking, we no longer want her. They hate her so much and think she's so worthless that they will believe we don't want her. So they will then get sloppy and try to flea the country. We will wait for them and attack and then we get her back"
Damon nodded. He liked the plan, he really did. But then there was certain aspects that could go wrong. They might not even come out of hiding for months. No. He couldn't wait that long.
"Ok it's our best idea so far" he agreed because it would mean he would have his sister back.
"We can wait until your men give some ideas tonight though, just in case"
"Agreed" Damon replied hoping he scared them enough to give him something.
Meanwhile
It had been a week for Emilia, she knew because they constantly reminded her on how long she had been there. They told her that her brothers and father weren't coming but she refused to admit it.
She was bruised and had severe cuts littering her body. She could barely move, she was just greatful they hadn't broken her legs,they said it was because if they had to move they didn't want her drawing attention. They stuck to bruises, cutting her open and burns. Her back had knife marks and marks were she had been hit with a belt.

She cried herself to sleep every night. She just wanted them to find her, she wanted Damon to hug her, she wanted him to call her a brat and to call him a stalker.
The door opened flooding her eyes with light. Henry stepped in and glared but had a disgusting smirk as he enjoyed the sight of her laying broken on the floor.
"No one is coming. It's just you and I" Henry said with a evil smirk.
"My dad will find me, he's coming" Emilia snapped. She wasn't going to stop talking for him. Not again.
"Where is he? He's not here because he doesn't care. You were stupid to believe him. I didn't want to tell you this but Damon organised this, he doesn't want you anymore, you continued to insult him so he convinced your dad to let him get rid of you" Henry said and smirked when he saw how sad Emilia looked.
"No one wants you. Now I suggest you shut up" he snapped kicking her stomach till she hunched over in pain.
"I can't wait for you to see what I have planned bitch"
Hours of torture passed and Emilia was hurt beyond what she thought was possible.
"No one is coming" he snapped.
He was wrong. So very wrong.
Everyone was hands on looking for a lead to satisfy there boss when one of the younger members had a break threw. He was on the tech team and since Mason was supervising that he went straight to mason not wanting to be killed.
"What is it" mason asked coldly as he watched the street cameras of her abduction.
"As you know a few days ago her phone was picked up...." The man said.
Mason nodded, his fists clenching in anger.
That wasn't a good day for any of them. They had all tortured their enemies for hours just to led off their anger. Damon couldn't control his anger so much so his brothers didnt even approach him.
"Well everything was wiped off it so we couldn't tell where it had been"
"Get to the point" Mason warned.
"Um well I think we could try and trace Lexi's phone "
Mason stared at the man for the longest time "if you have her details go ahead but her phone was taken off her when she left" Mason explained.
Damon was currently fed up of letting his anger out on his enemies so he went to the tech team to see their progress. He noticed one of them talking to mason. Once mason sent the man away he approached mason.
"What did he say"
Mason was a little taken back at how he was talking. It was not a threat.
"Just suggested we track Lexi's phone but we took it from her so no use"
Damon glared at the man but focused his attention back to mason "dad is currently working on past contacts of Alice's"
"And you" mason asked.
"I had to torture some of our enemies before I end up shooting the members " Damon said coldly.
"We will get her back Damon"
"Dad has a plan, I don't like it but it's our only option. He wants to spread the word we have given up so they come out of hiding"
"It's a good plan" Mason said.
"I know but there must be another way" Damon said knowing they had tried everything. They had no luck tracking the car as it was ditched in a random field on a dirt road with no street cameras. They had a second vehicle.
"Fuck" Damon snapped and walked off.
"Where are you going" Mason called.
"We have searched all the abandoned places but what if we didn't. Okay so we know it has to be abandoned but what if it isn't. What if it's just part of it. You remember last year that shipping yard with the warehouses, they were all stocked and working except one. What if it's like that"
"It would be considered operational since it's owned by the company still but not in use" mason said.
"If we can get a list of abandoned places on opperational areas"
"I'm on it"
"Good then I can trace any incoming and outgoing calls from that location and we can get a phone number and finally track the phone mark most likely has. Then find her" Damon said.

8 343The Chronicles of Artharian Dagworth
Back in 2020 there were many theories on how the world would end. From the many religions apocalypses, nuclear wars that would leave the planet inhabitable, global warming doing the same, biological weapons getting out of control, viruses mutating into unstoppable diseases to the dead raising to prey on humanity, either due to a virus or just because hell filled up. Also, aliens, from the war mongering kind to the ones so advanced they didn’t see us as more than worms. And of course there was the fail proof theory that the world would end when the sun died. In a bunch of billion years give or take. Althougth some new scientist were discussing if the end would be on the take side, since when the sun started dying things would go haywire on the entire solar system and we would collide with mercury or maybe mars way before the expanding sun engulfed earth. But I digress… Now, those were the mainstream theories that the everyday Joe, who didn’t know the big secret, worried about. So, if you were to ask me which theory was correct I can tell you that I haven’t seen any little green man, at least not from another planet, and so far the sun is still shining, although it’s been only 9 years since everything went to hell, not the few billions (give or take) the scientist predicted, so that one isn’t ruled out yet. These two aside, I'd say all of them. Hey everyone, this is my first attempt at writing. I have been planning to do it for a really long time, and while this is not the one epic fantasy idea I ever wanted to write, I think it's a good one. The plan is to write an end of the world urban-fantasy series. Think a world like Dresden Files, Alex Verus, Iron druid, where magic is real but exist hidden from society meets the apocalypse. It will be written in first person in the Dresden Files style, no plans for other POV for now. As you probally alredy guessed from my style, english is not my first langague, so while google corrector helps, expect grammar errors, and I'd be gratefull for anyone to point them. I plan to write 2 to 3 chapters a week, 2000-4000 words each. Might change as I get more experience and depends on my free time. Cover image from the colections of getwallpapers.com

8 75Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
