Chapter 4

It's been 11 years since then. It was a very fulfilling 11 years Taylor Hebert. She also bestowed herself three powers within these five years. One power is called illusion. It allows her to generate strong illusions that are perfect and also maintain them indefinitely. It is a very handy power especially for her. Another power is called empowerment. It allows her to empower everything she is touching. It only empowers durability though. It makes the weapon indestructible. But that is all it did. Since her main weapon is a bat, it is pretty handy. The last power is in the same tier as her Invincibility. This power is called Immortality. It does what it says. It allows her to become self-sufficient. Now, she can be alive if she was tossed into space or drown in lava. As long as her body wasn't destroyed, she will be alive.

Taylor also made a name for herself by calling herself a witcher and hunting down supernatural creatures. With her illusions, she can make herself older so they would trust her with their problems. She managed to make herself quite a profit as there were many supernatural creatures in LA. She even gathered enough to rent a shop. Nonetheless, it is in a remote corner of the city.

In the waking world, not so much. Her mom is dead and her dad is becoming more abusive. If it wasn't for her invincibility, she would have to go to school with bruises on her face. She also became a lot mature. Since she led two lives, she also became mature pretty fast. Every day, she goes the school. She was always alone these days. First, there were other kids but somehow Emma tore them away and managed to isolate her. Even before, she and Emma didn't get along. Now, it is worse. She somehow got herself a girlfriend and make herself a mission to find troubles with her. Though her girlfriend seems apprehensive about Taylor.

Emma becomes more and more adept at finding trouble for Taylor. First, she wanted to ridicule Taylor appearance but that was a mistake as Taylor is anything but ugly. For some reason, as she interacts with Nameless Void, she became more beautiful. The changes are slow so most people thought it was just her growing up. Still, Emma has many ammunitions to use on her. about her were already passing in the school by the courtesy of Emma and her little pack. She didn't care that much about it. They are all useless after all. At the end of the day, they will grow old and die while she would be still alive and kicking. That is just how insignificant mortal lives are.

Taylor ran back home. She had been doing that for a while now. Since her powers allow her to have limitless stamina. While she was using a shortcut, she ran into a pack of merchants. She scrunched up her nose at them.

'By Void, they are smell bad and I faced with rotting zombies,' she thought. Not wanting to waste more time, she punched one of them. They seem to be dumbfounded as they watch one of them flew toward the trash bin.

"Little bitch, get her!" They shouted and lunged at her. She dodged all of them snatched a knife from one of them. She used that knife and cut the throats of them. The fight ended quickly as it started. After that, she tossed all of their bodies into the trash bin. Nobody would care one or two trashes disappearance of them so she is safe.

"Shower, I want a good shower,' she thought as she continued to jog toward her home. She was focused to return home, she didn't notice a dark shadow on a nearby rooftop looking at her.

After reaching home, she got herself a long and relaxing shower. She heard the opening of the door and curses from downstairs.

"Taylor Hebert! Where is my dinner you little bitch?! Didn't I tell you to make dinner for her when I return?!"

Yes, same old same old, that is her father. Taylor Hebert sighed and stood up. After that, she finished her bath and put on comfortable clothes. She opened the bathroom door and her face met with a punch. She looked at the front and saw her father fuming. She didn't change her expression and just walked past him until she grabbed her tossed her across the floor.

He took off his belt and said, "It's been a long time since Annette died. Since she is gone, I have to make do with you". He continued to take off his trousers. Taylor stared at him in surprise. She knew he hated her but she never expected him to do this. She gritted her teeth as her last remaining love for this man who gave her life snapped and she quickly got up and kicked him. He flew across the room. Her tumbled and hit the wall and fell unconscious. She calmly went to her room and packed her clothes into her backpack.

She carried her backpack and walked out from home. She felt lost. She decided to just walk to a nearby park. After that, she would find a place to live. She walked inside the park and sat on a bench. She was pitifully poor now so, renting a place to live isn't an option. Other than that, she can always live as she did in the other world, on the streets. Anyway, she didn't need to sleep or rest. She can always live on the streets. If only she can bring back her money from the dream world to here.

As she was troubled over this, a blonde young girl stood in front of her. She looked at her quizzically.

"Hello, you seem to in trouble," the blonde said as she offered her hand, "my name is Lisa, Lisa Wilbourn". Lisa smiled at her and Taylor hesitantly.

"Come with me, tell me your trouble. I will help you and in return, you have to help me. How is it?" she asked? Taylor looked at the girl. The girl smiled confidently in return. Taylor didn't know why her instincts told her to trust this girl and she trusts her instincts as they saved her from sticky situations many times. This will be the start of a beautiful friendship.
