3 CLASH

"How?" he finally spoke up, his lux all riled up, "I've seen you before, did you-" he stopped rage filling his eyes "did you steal someone's mark?"

I almost laughed at the irony of the situation, Any other person would admit that weren't a stranger, and they weren't a murderer, but here I am contemplating agreeing to murder to hide my identity from a stranger who would find out anyways. Pathetic. I know, but if anyone found out that I was lyric Hans the monster who killed 200 men, all hell would break loose, before anything I had to meet my father, no, I had to meet the King.

" I will answer all your questions, but first you have to calm down, and take me to the king, I am the one you've been asked to bring," I said my mind-reading powers finally back on track.

His eyes widened and I found that... cute? Eww!

"Olivia Hank?"

Gotcha!

Even they want to hide my identity, Cowards.

*******

"you know, when I was sent to bring the great Lyric Hank who murdered 200 people, I didn't expect it to be, a scrawny, weak person who couldn't take down a simple anyone" He spat, not liking the idea that he had to host a murderer.

"you forgot to add - 200 armed

Men, who were trying kill Me" I bit back

"they were just following orders" he spat once again

"well, I was just following instinct. " I bit back once again

" instinct? You murdered them all!" he argued his Insensitive tone leveled

I paused mid-walk and so did he, "it was either me or them!" I yelled as our eyes locked

"and I wasn't going to die.."

He looked at me hate evident in his eyes, I held back a tear, it was odd how the words of a stranger cut so deep

"They had families, they were just trying to protect them!"

"from What? Or better still from who? A defenseless ten-year-old, who was confused and alone?!" I yelled to his face

"confused and alone? Defenseless? Don't make me laugh Hans, you were a freaking plague! "

"There's nothing funny.. to laugh about," I said as I began to walk faster, tears stung my eyes, it was one thing to know you were a monster and mother to be called it once after 12 long years.

"Hey!" he called as he ran after me.

He held me back and turned me around, I thanked my arm from his grip "I didn't-" he began but was cut off by what I suppose were my tears

"if I'm such a monster, then why do you people need my help, why are you seeking the help of a murderer, you... You have no right to judge me! not you, or your kingdom or your people or your king! You people are the real monsters, who condemn a ten-year-old girl to death? Just because ever lux was different?"

"Ly-" he began, feeling remorseful "that's Hans to you, you are nothing but a stranger to me, stay with your limits, after all, I don't even know your name, and please.." I stopped him once again before he could introduce himself. "let's keep it that way"

The remaining journey was silent just a few tears from me, and his guilty conscience pricking him, since I could read minds and hear people's thoughts, I knew that.

"We are here" he finally spoke up

And wiped my tears as the famous Wall stood before me.

The genesis of all my problems.

************

"This is as far as I can go" the man whose name I hadn't bothered to ask about - spoke

"why's that?" I asked as I menacingly narrowed my eyes at him "I never thought someone like you, who seemed to blurt out whatever came to mind, actually had limited" I taunted, he just rolled his eyes before tossing me A green card, one that only Fluxians had. I glared at him as it caught me off guard, taking a glance at the card I was about to snap at him and tell him off for just throwing something at me like that but when I looked up -he was gone. He left! That cheap coward!

I Frowned. As I took a step forward and slid the card into the small hole there. A voice spoke up at that, "Welcome back valued citizen of Fluxia," we will be running through your details and you will be allowed in shortly. " The irony, today they had addressed their famous Outcast, a Valued citizen.

Soon enough the gates opened, and two guards,- who I'm pretty sure were waiting for me - led me through The kingdom, they said the change was inevitable and constant, and Fluxia maximized the 12 years I spent away from it there were new training academies, reformed houses, and renovated buildings, large scale business and many other things that Ballux lacked. it looked as if the people had moved on, they looked nothing like the heartless people who had thrown stones at me when I was only ten years old, they looked nothing like the merciless individuals who had condemned me to death and murdered my mother. I envied it - the peace they all emitted.

It wasn't fair that they had moved on. It wasn't fair - that while I still struggled with images of my dead mother and hundreds of dead bodies - they were living their lives like they hadn't ruined mine. But then again if I was called here, there was trouble, and as wrong as it felt - it made me happy.

Soon enough I was standing in front of the castle and after a small conversation between guards, they led me into the castle, Now, in Here, not much had changed.

The king's scientific lab which ruined my life was still securely hidden behind the big painting by the corridor, the secret safe was still beneath the table that sat on the floor of the sitting room, and the gene of my mother,- should still be upstairs locked away in my room- hopefully, if that gene was set loose, then not only Fluxia, the whole universe would have hell to pay.

" We are here" one of the guards spoke up. I glanced between them, I looked through their memories but nothing was Appealing, I glanced at the door that stood in front of me then back at the guards " the king wants to see you alone, we'll be leaving"

"thank you, And... Thanks for the compliment, maybe next time you try not to address a lady as hot, it's offensive. " the guard's eyes widened as he walked away briskly, while his companion, stared wide-eyed. I smirked. Nothing beats confronting someone about what they think is a secret, ha! It never gets old.

I frowned as my eyes went back to the door I placed my hand on the door handle, the man who ruined my life was in there, the perpetrator of this whole facade - Gerald Hans.
