@esther-c @keilah-h @ellette-giselle @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @godlyfantasy12 (btw, I’ve been LOVING the scenes you’ve been posting, girlđ€©) @rae @theducktator @grcr @anyone-else-idk-lol
Y’all want a Riker scene for Book #3? đ«Ł
well here it is anyway (part of it at least)
What did Leon know?
As far as Riker knew, Leon had a good, loving familyâŠa happy family. Sure, every family had their faults, but what, honestly, could Leon even know about a family that was far from happy but had to pretend to be to satisfy Franzâs desires and pull blinders over the world around them?
Riker sighed and ran a hand through his wavy dark brown locks.
Maybe he shouldnât have shoved Leon away.
He certainly shouldnât have stormed off.
He checked the watch on his wrist. It was almost five oâclock, the time he had promised to be back at the Altmann home to join them for dinner.
Maybe he should startââRiker Franz SchindâŠstill alive, I see.â
No. Please no. NotâŠnotâŠ
âGod, please.â Riker whispered, pleaded.
He turned on his heel.
Heinz Beckerâs dark, murderous, malicious gaze met Rikerâs own. A smile curled one side of the older manâs lips, a smile that sent a shiver down Rikerâs spine despite the fact that it was a warm June evening. âIf anything about you has always been true, itâs that you can slink your way out of anything, boy. And to think everyone thought you were dead, even your father.â
âHerr Beckerââ
âLast I remember, you were trying to kill me.â
âI-I would neverâ”
âOh, but that is what you would have done if you had to, wouldnât it have been, Riker?â
He took a step back. âN-no, sirâHerr BeckerâŠI-I wouldnât have.â
Heinz merely hummed in reply, taking a step towards Riker every time Riker took a step back.
WhereâŠwhere wasâŠoh no.
Too late to realize heâd been cornered, Riker glanced desperately at the walls of an alleyway as Heinz drew ever closer.
He had to run.
But his feet were rooted to the ground.
His breaths chuffed. His hands clammed up. Sweat beaded on his forehead.
âAre you going to bring my father here?â
Heinz tsked. âAre you still afraid of your father, Riker?â
âNo,â Riker whispered, but his voice quivered.
He could barely hear his own words.
And he hated the way his body trembled.
âYouâre over thirty years old and one question makes you shake like a child that believes in monsters under their bed.â He thought, chided himself.
Stupid. StupidâââŠYou are clearly very afraid. I certainly couldnât bring him here: you would run away before I could return. And how would it benefit me to take you to Franz? Would it benefit me to see his anger, to watch him beat you for the insolence heâs never been able to curb, to hear you beg for mercy that heâll never give you, mercy you donât deserve? Nein, that benefits me little, if at all.â
âPlease-â
âAh, thatâs more of what Iâd like to hear,â Heinz took a step forward; Riker took a step back; Heinz smiled, âgo on, boy, beg, cry out for mercy. Maybe this God you call to will rescue you.â
He had to escape.
He had to fight back.
And yet every bone in his body felt weak, every muscle lax.
Heinz stepped forward.
Riker stepped back.
Heinz was hounding him, backing him into a corner.
The alleyway was dark and crowded.
His fatherâs heavy footsteps echoed on the stairs.
  Eight-year-old Riker cowered, trembling, whimpering.
He hated the dark, closed space of the closet, but anything was better than facing his fatherâs rage.
Every lasting bruise ached at just the thought of being found.
Heinz gripped his wrists. âOne sound out of you, boy, and this will be a quick end for you.â
Jarred back into the present, Riker kicked out at the older manâs shin.
Heinz cursed and stumbled.
Riker wrenched a single wrist free, turned, pulled back his arm. He curled his hand into a fist and pounded it into Heinzâs gut.
Heinz stumbled, released his grip on Riker, cursed again.
He had to get away.
  He had to get away.
Quickly.
Riker rushed past Heinzâs groaning frame.
No. No!
Please.
Of course Heinz hadnât come alone. He never did.
Two men flanked the only way out of the alleyway, tall and broad-shouldered.
Riker took a step backwards. Too late to realize, he backed up into Heinz.
âThey remember you as well.â Heinz sneered.
Riker turned to face Heinz.
He had to get awayâhe had to escape.
But his only exit was blocked.
Maybe thatâs what he got for going off alone.
âGet his wrists bound.â
One of the men reached for Riker, and he pulled away only for the other man to grab his right arm and wrench it behind his back.
âLet me go.â Riker snarled. He lifted a leg to kick the man that held onto him.
ââŠYouâre alive. After all this time, youâre stillâŠalive.â
NoâŠno.
Almost every nightmare that interrupted his sleep, every shackle that still wished him bound, every memory that haunted his very steps, they all carried that toneâŠthat disdainâŠthat pain…thatâŠthatâŠvoice.
He had to get away.
But he couldnâtâŠoh, he couldnât.
The man released him, and the two men stepped aside.
There was a gap, a possible escape route.
And yet Riker found himself backing up further into the alleyway as another man strode in between the gap entrance the two men had created.
Please. Not himâŠ
Coal eyes met Rikerâs dark blue.
Not Franz Schind.
 Please.
âOld friend!â Heinz greeted, âI did not expect you to come to thisâŠreunion.â

@the_lost-journal Cool! i hope she doesnât have problems joiningâŠ..cause my brotherâs application (he sent it twice on two separate occasions) is still being ignored, and on the âwelcome our newest memberâ thing at the bottom of the forums tab, the last member that joined did so several months ago. I donât know if theyâre keeping track of that anymore.

I wonder if we could get someone more active promoted to a moderator. Weâd have to get the attention of an existing moderator to do so, but it seems like it would be helpful.

also cool profile pic design.

Woah. I’ve not read your books yet…but man, this sounds very interesting! Oh on…Franz…isn’t that the bad guy I asked you about? Poor Riker! From all that I’ve read about him…he’s always facing fear from his past…

*Visible anguish*
You just…leave us…with that?!?
Cruelty of an author. Misuse of cliffhangers. Undeniable suspense.
Ahhhhhhhh…
…
Great job! I don’t like any of these guys. Except Riker of course. And Leon, wherever he is right now…
And though I’ve felt sorry for Franz, he abused a child.
So yeah. Anxiously holding out for a happy ending.
