Chapter 1.
5 years before the last episode of season 2
I was breathless, I barely had enough energy to keep fighting back. I had no way out from in the arena, not that I wanted to leave or anything. I was just across my opponent, a big pile of muscle and fat. But I was surprised that he had so much power in his punches. But I wasn't about to give up, I would want to be beaten to a pulp before I surrender to this jackass. Then again I wasn't really in great shape to begin with. But I had nothing to worry about. He would be too stupid to see that coming. I created an illusion of myself and ran in behind him undetected. Once he hit the illusion of me, I hit him as hard as I could. You could practically hear the sound of contact I made. Before I knew it, he was on the ground, out cold. "And that's the match. The winner is Cheyanne!" The announcer said. "Come up here to collect your cash." I took my time to get to the office, but that's because I was breathless and beat up. Once I got there, I was handed the money and was told that it was an amazing match. I thanked him and said I'll be looking forward to coming back. All I needed to do now was walk out the door and get back home. Dinner should be ready by the time I get there.
Once I got home, I was greeted with a sudden hug that could choke the life out of me. "Ohhhh, I'm so happy you're ok. I was so worried when you didn't get home on time!" A female voice said. I wanted to reply but all that came out was "Air… need… stop… please…" I tried saying something else, but I needed air. "Oh! I'm so sorry." She said, quickly pulling away from the hug. "Nah, it's all good, I needed something like that. I missed you Kelsey." I said. At first Kelsey smiled, but that slowly turned into a frown. "Are you alright? You don't look to good. What's wrong?" I asked her. She let out a long sigh and said that we needed to talk. I followed her and sat across from her at the table. We were having lasagna with some garlic toast and some tea. I picked up my tea cup and took a sip before setting it back down to begin the conversation.
"Soooo, what did you want to talk about?" I asked. She took a piece of toast and took a bite before replying. "Cheyanne, please don't take this the wrong way, but, I'm leaving." Kelsey. Said.
Before I could even take a bite of lasagne, I froze.
It's like when you've been friends with someone for almost half of your life. Then they have to go to a totally different place in remnant.
I could not even breath for a total 10 seconds.
"Cheyanne, it's not because of you, it's because of your father."
I tensed up at that last word. "Father? He is a monster that has come from hell." I thought to myself.
"I understand. But please do call from time to time. I will miss you so mu-" I couldn't finish when the door burst open, and in came my "Father". The first thing we saw was a bottle of pure alcohol and cigarettes. When his eyes fixed on Kelsey, he smiled mischievously. But when he fixed on Cheyanne, he made a face that could only be described as terrifying. "HEY YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY LITTLE BITCH? SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FRIENDS!" Her father yelled at me. "YOU'RE GETTING OUTTA MY HOUSE NOW!" He yelled, grabbing my wrist to drag me out the door.
My father was a drunk. He always came home looking furious and would always do anything to get what he wanted. Even if it was illegal or abusive to anyone, including me.
"DAD! STOP PLEASE!" I screamed, he only moved faster towards the door.
That's when Kelsey came to help, by stabbing him in the shoulder with a blunt knife.
"GAAAHHH! YOU BITCH!" screamed my father. I got away, but now I had to save Kelsey.
That's when I made the most terrible mistake of my life.
I put an illusion to the side of where Kelsey was. I then proceeded to make the illusion look like it was protecting Kelsey.
He took the knife out of his shoulder and went to slash at me, but then I just shattered to pieces like broken glass. Is hand was now down in between his legs and I took this as an opportunity. I grabbed his wrist and flipped him over, knocking the knife into the air. I was then preparing to knock him out with a punch, but then his forehead started bleeding. Once I looked at it a little closer, I gasped and quickly backed away. The knife was knocked into the air but it landed in his head.
"Oh my god" Was all I could say. I looked up at Kelsey, who looked petrified. She started to walk towards me, and put her hand out to touch me. I quickly shoved it away.
"Cheyanne, please don't go. Don't leave me, Neo." Was all she could say.
The reason I was called Neo was because my constant obsession for the colours pink, brown and white. As well as the ice cream.
All I could say was "Goodbye Kelsey. I'll miss you. And don't do the things I have done. Go after your dream. Became the huntress you were destined to be." I said.
She looked like she was ready to burst into tears. She gave one final shot to hug me, but that just cracked me. I smiled before I said one final goodbye before breaking into a hundred million pieces of me scattered across the floor.
