Loved ones: page 7; Twist and turns

Lily, Kate, Burin walks into the hospital. Coming here at night wasn’t sitting well with any of them. But they had no choice, Law was at the hospital so that was where they were supposed to be. Law humming a tone, was oblivious of their presence, all his focus seemed to be on finding out who sent the assassins. Kate feeling ignored, calls out “Law”, suddenly realizing her mistake “Commander Law, we are back. We had to let the assassin go”. Law hearing that calm cool voice which was almost baby-like call out his name, he smiles and offers his hand for a shake. They all shook his hand. He kept grinning like a kid at the sight of each of them, he loved his guards but he also loved disappearing. Suddenly the smile left his face, and he asked “how are they?” Lily answering in a matter of fact way, said “they are fine, they didn’t take your disappearance lightly, your father especially. So why did you go off the radar, Law”, her face brimming with anger. Law paused, Lily was always so outspoken and never feared him or any one in the family, and that’s why father liked her. Oddly, enough he had no tangible reason for disappearing except whenever he disappeared and was found, it felt like they cared. ” I just eh! Well I found father’s great grandchild, I heard he was looking for her”. He smiled, though it was a flimsy excuse, Lily loved children and also did his father so his little disappearing act, did probably pass. Minutes passed, with no reply from either person. Burin noticing the tension, coughs, “so who sent the assassin, one of the Four Lords for that matter”, hearing no reply, he signals Kate. Kate, receiving the signal, asks “I thought the assassin came for you, Commander Law or didn’t she?” Law answers “she came for the agent, Olivia is her name. I was just in a wrong place, wrong time. Olivia is a special ops, though it seems like she was newly recruited and her character sucks. So the true question is who sent the assassin and why?.”, his answer finally easing the tension. Kate laughs sarcastically, “wrong place, huh! So what did you go there for?.” Law grunts, in her mind, she probably meant if not sex. He hadn’t expected that, it felt like a low blow “well, I went there because of a boy, whose kid was taken into child services custody. Olivia was in charge of the arrest and refused to let the child go. I wanted to know why and also to tell her to still hold onto the kid.” Lily sneers, “wait, what! Aren’t you supposed to be helping the boy.” Law burst out laughing; “well, yeah. But their is something about the boy, like he has a terrible past or something. The boy uses other people as pawns, I simply just needed more time to investigate.” Kate sighs, “Lady Jade did say Linda couldn’t kill in his town, could it be that she was referring to this boy, well there is still time to investigate.” Burin replies “bad news, then. An executive order was just received by Child services, to release the kid, immediately”, flashing his phone screen for all to see. Lily looks at Law, his fists were clinched, he was angry, very angry. She smiled, wondering who was the boy, that made Law show his true emotions, instead of concealing it as always. “We should go to bed, its pretty late” Kate called out. My eyes were still fixated on the ceiling for God knows how long. I was trying my best not to fall asleep, I always had seemingly real nightmares whenever Princess wasn’t beside me, or I was in emotional distress. Finally I succumbed to the power of sleep. #she smiled, it was actually possible to see the pain resonating around that smile, broken blocks of concrete littered everywhere. We had both managed to destroy the mansion, her home in a bid to end each others life’s. I grunt, every inch of cell hurt. It felt awkward, I actually came to kill a girl, who I knew turned out the way she was, because of the strain, the world put her through. “Your name is Xparkle, right. As my master always said, *life is full of many twists and turns but that first twist prepares you for the journey*, and my first twist was ‘Family’, she screamed, her body shook with anger. I smiled, plunging my sword into the earth. She was probably going to go for the *Berserk stanza, and from the looks of it, she had just an attack and she was done for. “Lady Jade, pity looks bad on you. Let’s just end this.” She looks up, her sword pointed at me “So Xparkle, why do you want me, dead?, is it as a revenge, for fame or?” I laugh, every word from her lips seemed to annoy me “does it matter? You aren’t a saint, but am insulted to hear you ask if its for revenge, or fame. Am an Assassin, killing you is just a mission I need to complete.” Our swords clash, then I felt it that sinister aura, that blood lust gaze from her eyes and her sword as it went through my ribs. This wasn’t the *berserk stanza. I stagger, coughing out blood at every turn# Screaming ‘Jesus’, I come awake, eyes ajar searching for the killer. Calming down, It dawned on me that i was still in my room, my phone on my chest and although my heart still pounded hard against my chest, I was safe. Closing my eyes, I wondered what the dream was about, who was the girl, and why I was mean to her, and also the term; Assassin, though its every boys dream to be called that, I wasn’t an assassin, but then why did I call myself that. I stayed awake till the early hours of the morning before finally falling asleep. Xparkling options
