Elfen Lied: Two Souls

Intertwined Hearts

By: Marvin Burshik

A special note for any fans of mine. I'll likely be posting the first two chapters of the remake of this story in a month or two, as I'm working on making a longer, better written version of it right now. I know it has been a long time since I've made anything, but I promised myself I would make this story the best it could be. So please, any of you readers who have just joined me, have patience with me. I will finish this entire series, and make it what it should be, as well as accurate with the original series and manga.

Thanks.

Two years ago, according to the Prime Minister of Japan, the diclonius threat had been eliminated. Though unconfirmed they claim Lucy the queen of the diclonius had been killed by a large contingent of military forces shortly before they were all killed themselves by her vectors. Lucy also was claimed to be the last living diclonius known. The diclonius were considered to be nothing but killing machines destined to destroy the human race as we know it.

In America, a number of the diclonius survive, though even they don't realize what they are.

Chapter One: Leona the Wretched

Eight Years Ago

Her mother had died during childbirth, and she had even murdered her own father a year before, it was needless to say she was alone. It was bad enough that her father had feared her, but even her sister was scared of her. At school, she was constantly being bullied because of her horns. She had but one friend, the guidance counselor Seymour Ingram, but even he couldn't possibly begin to understand her.

Today though, everything would change, she was going to make sure of it.

It had started out as your average day for a freak such as her, avoiding the older kids at the breakfast tables in the orphanage, ignoring the other students in class as they made fun of her despite the teacher's berating, and sitting in on one of Seymour's counseling sessions with other students - hiding the entire time. It wasn't until lunch that things started crashing down around her.

"Hey freak!" a male student called out to her.

She growled, "My name's Leona, not freak you jerk!"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. I hear that there is someone coming to take you away from here today. I also heard that they don't plan on adopting you. Ha ha!"

"Why else do they intend to take me from here?" she asked still glaring at the boy.

"They probably want to kill you, then dissect you for your weird head. Or maybe they think you're a freak or an alien and want to simply execute you for future crime. Freak!"

"Damn you! I'm not a freak! At least Mr. Ingram likes me." She replied, feeling hatred well up inside her.

He rolled his eyes, "No he doesn't, he's just pretending, cause it's his job to like you. It's obvious, even Dad sees it. You're only a damned crime to nature, you don't even deserve to live!"

"You lie! Mr. Ingram really likes me. I'll kill you too if I have to. You'll see!"

Then he chuckled, "Oh yes, that's right, I forgot. That's why they're really coming to pick you up. You're lucky that the police have let you stay here for so long considering you killed your dad last year. You're a damn murderer."

He was the only student in the entire school who knew that, and he only knew that because she told him herself.

"That was an accident, but your death won't be!"

Suddenly he was flying in the air for no apparent logical reason with him clutching his neck.

"I-Is this h-how you ki-illed, h-him Le-eona?" He asked as he struggled.
