Writing My Own Story: The Writer And The Character

Night Street

In the sounthern part of Sampaloc City, the infamous Night Street was located. It's a crowded area and known to be 'awake' at night where thugs and gangs, fighters and killers, fight and hang around together.

Oddly, at this early time of night, the humid air of summer was mixed with a chilling breeze, passing every corner of the unusually deserted place. The supposedly 'awake' Night Street was nowhere to be seen.

Ever since the sudden arrival of a mysterious man, the lawless people have hidden themselves deep within their homes. Silently peeking and patiently waiting for the man to leave.

He was a visitor from an unknown place and an unknown person no less. But the fear and respect that he command from the people in this place is an acknowledgement of his untold identity.

He was the Almighty.

The God Father of the Underworld Organization.

Who will dare to provoke this Big Boss?

No words are needed to know the identity of this man. Every people who are under the influence, protection, and authority of the Underworld Organization are installed with a microchip within the shallow skin of their nape area behind the left side of their ear.

This microchip is connected to the ring of the Almighty. It is called the 'crowning ring' as it symbolized the power of the bearer over the people under its command, the authority that it holds in the underworld organization, and the identity that it bears.

Whenever the Almighty is within the radious of detection of the people with installed microchips, it will create a vibration within the area of installation and a small buzzing sound could be heard.

Before the Almighty's arrival, the lawless people were crowding the different areas of Night Street such as fighting arena, gambling dens, race tracks, brothels, and bars. But a single word of, "Disperse", from a man's deep voice behind everyone's ears turned Night Street into a frenzy of panicked and flurried actions of people trying to leave and go home.

Unaware people were left confused and dumbfounded. Some were in the middle of a race,having a death match; others were in the high of ecstacy, after engaging in a pleasurable activity; while some were in the last bit of their clothing, due to a continous loss of gamble.

One by one, every managers of business shops and buildings in Night Street who recieved a direct command from their superiors, closed their door and turned off their lights.

Staff employees had an early night off and were left doubting their bosses.

Is there a purge? Why was everybody so weird?

Why is the entire Night Street so weird tonight?

Among the people present in the Night Street. A girl wearing a white school uniform was the most striking. She was obviously out of place and don't seem to belong in a place of action.

People who noticed her presence can't help but to stop from their flurry action and stare.

Just what the ****?

Why is this girl in this kind of place?

Is she lost?

'Tsk. Tsk. This girl is destined to be ruined in this place.'

'Maybe shes gone crazy!'

'****, let's go! Why do you have to bother about her?!'

'Yeah!We don't need to worry about her!'

However, the girl in question was still left standing in the middle of a now deserted race track watching unblinkingly the last bit of people as they leave the place. Their voices of conversation can faintly be heard floating through the wind towards the girl's direction.

Instantly, the race track was submerged into a deep silence. The howling summer breeze softly kissed the ivory skin of the girl. It blew the curtain of hair on her face, revealing a face with  an almond-shaped hazel brown eyes.

Looking at her lonely figure in the wide empty place, people would definitely feel pity and sympathy towards her.

Who would be so heartless as to leave alone a girl while others run for safety?

What if she encountered the Almighty?

She would definetly die!

For a moment, the girl just stood still like she have no plans of leaving. After a long while of staring at the empty place, the girl finally blinked her naturaly long curly eye-lashes.

In fact, she was just — very speechless.

The light of mischief in her eyes slowly dimmed into a lazy haze. The rest of her face was hidden in the shadow of darkness. Her unbuttoned open uniform was fluttering in the wind along with the tip of her natural big curls of hair. Inside, was a cool black, v-neck shirt, showing the girl's smooth skin and seductive collarbone. Her short skirt was dancing in the wind while her legs are long and sexy.

The girl raised her right hand and swept the strands of bangs on her face while her other hand took out the strawberry flavored lollipop in her mouth.

"Heh, Night Street my ***!" An indolent voice ridiculed in the quite night.

After speaking, the girl turned to look at her red convertible. It was parked three-steps away from the finish line with an open door, open headlights and waiting engine.

She was feeling really bad!

There was a boiling pot of anger in her stomach but there was nothing or rather no one to vent on!

"They're all a bunch of losers, nuts and cowards!" the girl continued to say with a bit of anger in her tone of voice.

She ate back the lollipop and grinded the crystalized candy using her teeth in frustration.

The girl grudgingly walked towards her car, leaving behind a white stick of lollipop and a lingering scent of sweet strawberry fruit and a strong spicy smell of alcohol.

'Damn it to hell!'

'She was almost at the finish line!'

Why did those bunch of cowards suddenly turned into a frightened chickens?!

They didn't even let her cross the finish line before stopping from the race and leaving un announced!

The girl sat down on the driver seat and slammed the door with a heavy pull. She maneuvered her car out of the race track and after a few meters, she can't help but to  stepped on the breaks.

A sound of tire-screeching resounded and a black print of tires could be seen on the aspalt road.

Ahh! She really can't take it lying down!

The girl  heave down a sigh of restrained anger and clicked a button to open the hood of her convertible. She needed some fresh air or she would suffocate from her anger.

'Night Street my ***!'

'Who was it again that dared her to gamble in this damn place?!'

She lost the bet and all her money but when she can finally win it all back, the weird thing happened!

What else can she do?

Where could she get back all her money?

She can only leave this damn place and beat the shit out  — damn. She also don't know who was that bastard that made her come here.

The girl closed her hazel brown eyes for a moment and rested the back of her head at the headrest of her seat. She is thinking about the next course of action that she will take.

After this night, she won't probably have the chance to 'come out again'.

"She won't remember everything that happened and will going to happen. " the girl murmured in silence.

The girl was a petty person. She never tolerate any grudges. So....

When the girl opened her eyes again, a reflection of light that spells trouble was swirling within them.

IZZY AND THE INTRUDER

The girl turned on her customized speaker and set its volume to the highest and loudest level. Then, she set a location in her GPS screen monitor and put her car under automatic driving. She reached her school bag on the shot gun seat and brought out her laptop.

The girl smoothly opened her laptop and keyed it's power button. Seconds later, the sound of opening application program interface could be heard. Then, a wallpaper of sticky notes in different colors and shapes appeared. The girl swept her eyes on the most eye-catching words.

Writing is a passion, I am the flame.( Insert fire emoji)

Be Imaginative, the limit is the heaven, earth, and galaxy combined!(Insert rainbow emoji)

Creativity is the Key to Success! Go, Go, Do It! (Insert dancing girl)

The girl's eyes can't help but twitched.

This.....

Its really 'her' style.

With that in mind, the girl started to type a set of codes in a quick and practiced manner.

The previous colorful and wordy wallpaper changed into a calmed water with wild ocean waves. Along with it, all the applications earlier dissappeared. There are only three new icon in the screen.

Suddenly, a continuos sound of pop-up messages can be heard and a skull chat icon apppeared. But the girl did not click on it and instead, she opened  the icon of a smiling 'little girl' with a cute pigtails.

Upon the opening of the icon, a new interface appeared.  It was the whole body image of the 'little girl'.

"Welcome, Mistress!" the 'little girl' in the screen spoke with a cute childish voice. Her expression was life-like and her tone of voice was set like a real-life reaction. She was clothed in a cute maid uniform while her pigtails were styled in buns on each side of her head.

The girl raised an eye-brow to the familliar sound and her lips curled-up slightly.

"Hello, Izzy." the girl replied lazily and reached out to a piece of strawberry flavored lollipop in her car's compartment.

IZZY is an unfinish artificial intelligence software project thus, it can only be activated when the program is running.

"How are you, mistress?"

The small smile of the girl turned into a pout, reminding her of her anger earlier.

"I'm angry Izzy. Will you help me?" The girl said with a hint of greiviance in her voice. She slowly opened the plastic cover of the lollipop and put it in her mouth.

"Who dared to provoke you, mistress?!" The 'little girl's' voice was laced with a hint of anger and indignance.

"Hmm.... Who dared to provoke me?"

After saying those words, the girl started to type a new set of command algorithms and codes could be seen jumping up from the laptop screen.

Night Street is not an ordinary place. The people who play in this place are in illegal and deadly line of work — they are all people who belong to the underworld.

But contrary to expectation, Night Street has the lousiest security over their network system. Even a small business shop can't be compared.

Are they that confident that no one would dare to spy on them? Or attack this place?

Then she shall give them awareness.

Finally, the girl typed down 'Enter' and the codes in the laptop screen changed into a monitor, showing all the camera recordings in the entire Night Street.

A light chuckle sounded inside the car and the girl's pinkish lips curled up into a cute smirk.

Besides the cctv camera monitor system, the girl was also able to create the blue print of the entire Night Street, mapping out all the important places in HD.

Upon looking closely at the different angles of the cctv camera, the Night Street was deserted of people.

The girl raise her brow in wonder, finally realizing the strange happenings.

Is there a sudden meeting or event?

Why was this place so empty?

Where did everyone go?

Is Night Street going to be the next ghost town?

The girl shook her head in denial.

Nevermind.

She intended to disable the cctv camera so that people in Night Street would not be able to see her face and discover her identity. But since the place was empty of people, wouldn't her effort go to waste if she'll do something later without anyone from the intended audience knowing?

At the other side of Night street, a car was silently parked infront of the entrance of a dark forest. There was a group of three people inside.

There is a driver in his early 20's with an ash grey hair. His one hand was lazily gripping the steering wheel while the other hand was softly caresing the small peircing on his bottom lip. His elbow was placed on the opened car window. He was dressed in black polo-shirt with two of his buttons opened.

In his opened clothes, there is a striking silver neklace peeking within. It was designed like a military necklace but instead of a plain square-shaped pendant with encoded information, the pendant has an added shiny black letter 'U'.

Beside the driver was a  man in his middle 20's. Unlike the driver who was just waiting in silence, the man on the passenger seat was very focus on his laptop screen while his hand was busily typing in lightning speed manner on the keyboard. There is a famillar numbers of code jumping up on his screen monitor as he continously enter a command of algorithms.

Similar to the driver, the man was also wearing a silver necklace. It was placed on top of his black shirt. The only difference is that, it was showing the back side of the necklace.

On the flat surface of the silver pendant, there are engraved rich black letters of W with an overlapping letter U that was placed a little lower. The two black letters were incased in a shiny silver of thick letter O, and right on top of the letter O was a crown with an intricate design.

If one will look more closely, the thick  letter O and the crown resting proudly on it's top was the exact image of a ring.

A ring that was known to all the people who belong to the underworld.

At the back seat, there was a silhouette of a man, languidly sitting. His head was resting at the back rest of his seat. The clarity of the image was covered by a swirling smoke of cigarette. 

"What's the update, Dos?" A deep voice with coldness and authority resounded inside the car.

The question came behind the swirling curtain of smoke. Just as the question was asked, the man in the passenger seat, called Dos, keyed the 'Enter' button and stopped from typing.

Then the interface in his screen changed into the monitor of all cctv camera in the entire night street. Along with it, the audio recording was also activated and there is a high definition map of the entire place in the upper left side corner. In the map, there are green dots moving in all the places of Night Street seemingly enclosing the forest area. Meanwhile, few red dots can also be seen in the forest area.

Dos looked up from his laptop screen and faced the man at the backseat. His necklace moved along with his action and it showed the front side of his pendant. On it's flat silver surface, there is a shiny, black letter 'D'.

"Zero, the task has been completed. All the people in Night Street have already left the area and all passages are sealed. " Dos reported in a serious manner.

"Very well." The man replied curtly.

From the front seat, as the smoke slowly dispersed, a long and slick legs covered in a silver grey trouser can be seen. One leg was crossed over the other.

In the darkness at the back seat, there are two small red-orange light. One was on the index finger of the man. His hand was placed on his lap, while the other was the flame of a burning cigarette that was sandwiched on the man's other finger. It was placed on the open window of the car.

Hearing a sudden blinking sound from his computer, Dos removed his eyes at the man and looked at his computer screen.

Upon looking at a third party's invasion on the network system of the Night Street, Dos' black eyes, slowly narrowed like a waiting predator. Without delay, he reported the situation.

"Someone hacked into the network system of Night Street." Dos' serious voice was laced with excitement. A small smirk was playing on his redish lips and the stricking mole on his chin added to his musculine beauty.

"Is it the enemy?" The man on the driver seat eagerly asked.

Finally! He has something to talk about. Hes been feeling bored with nothing to do. Zero and Dos talks all about work, would he dare to interrupt? He wasn't that brave!

Upon hearing the report, the man at the back seat finally opened his closed eyes. He looked at the expectant faces of his subordinates, waiting on his next order.

Meeting an emotionless sterling grey eyes that can make you feel like your soul have been seen through, the two men infront instinctively lowered their eyes on the man's sinfully handsome face. Then his cold authorative voice resounded.

"Locate the intruder."
