Author's Note: This chapter is quite a bit darker than my last two, but it is also the best one I've written so far. I finally have a clear direction I want this story to go in mind so there will be no more dilly dallying from here on in. Oh! And if you want to get into the mood I was in when I wrote this chapter listen to "Walking on Air" by Kerli it was pretty much written for Elfen Lied.

True to Bulma's word, the moment her mother set eyes on Lucy and heard how Bulma rescued her from a "scary forest" she decided that Lucy was going to live with them from now on and did indeed try to stuff her full of cakes and candies. Her father also agreed to having Lucy live with them, but it seemed to her that he was more concerned with tinkering with electronics than he was taking care of Lucy. She didn't really mind; she was just happy with the fact that people actually were not giving her that judgmental look she had become all too familiar with. The first couple of months with the Briefs was fantastic, Lucy even started to feel normal if that was even possible for someone like her. She was secretly glad Goku wasn't around because of how creepily intuitive he was about her. Whenever he was around she felt like she couldn't hid her darkness from him, it was like he could see right through her and yet at the same time he acted like he didn't understand the most simple of things that went on around him. Fortunately for her, Goku was off training with some guy named Kami because he had to fight some other guy named Piccolo Jr. for some reason she wasn't really interested in. Life for her couldn't have been any better until she was informed that summer break was over and she was going to have to start 6th grade in two weeks.

She wanted to protest, but knew if she did the Briefs would want to know why and she didn't want them to know about how persuasive her dark passenger could be or the fact that if these kids were anywhere as cruel to her as the ones in the orphanage they would end up dead. So, she went to school like they told her to and the kids did taunt her and called her oxen just like the ones at the orphanage did(they were so original). She tried her best to be a good girl and not listen to the voice inside, but one day the itch to make them pay became too great, her composure slipped, and she became a bad girl.

The day this particular massacre happened was exactly three months to the day of her first at school. You should be very proud of Lucy for going that long without killing any one of them for that long because it took every ounce if strength she had to just walk away from them after a day of taunting. She had managed to get through the whole day successfully ignoring the mean songs they made up about her and the paper balls that were thrown in her direction. The bell rang and she fled out of the classroom before everyone else was even packed up, but a few minutes later she heard a mass of footfalls behind her, then sharp pain on her back, then the sensation of falling and before she knew it she had hit the ground. She began to lift herself up but before she even made it off the dirt she felt a weight on her back pushing her down then a flood of laughter came at her from all directions. She dared to glance up and saw ten of the school children in a circle around her laughing and pointing while the ring leader, Blaine, had her pinned to the ground with his leg. She glared up at him and before she knew it the old familiar feeling of vectors freeing themselves from their imprisonment was there and so was her darkness. "You can't win with these humans. You act like yourself and they make you an outcast for it, you try to fit in and they still make your life hell. You need to just do away with all of them and start a new race of all Diclonius. Think of how wonderful life would be, no one would be hateful or judge you because they all would look just like you do."

"I can't do that." she whispered to her passenger. " Killing is bad, if I do that the Briefs won't love me anymore."

"What did you just say freak?" Blaine shouted, "Look you guys, cotton candy head is crazy now too! She was just talking to herself." The rest of the children all began to laugh which made Lucy glare at them all in turn.

"You all want to be a bit more nicer to me." she said to them courageously.

"Oh, and why is that? What are you going to do if we don't?" Blaine the speaker of the bullies asked.

"You see Lucy, they like to hurt you. They can't be reasoned with so just do what we both know you want to do."

Lucy smiled wickedly up at Blaine. "Because I'm a magician and I can make you all disappear." All of the children laughed even harder than they did before. Until they heard a sickening snap, felt liquid splash onto their clothes, and heard Blaine let out a deafening scream. They all immediately fell silent as Lucy at last got up from the ground and casually brushed dirt off of her clothes. She smiled at them all and then walked over to where Blaine lay sprawled on the ground the leg he had used to keep Lucy down was now missing from his right side. She looked down at Blaine with a sinister glint in her eyes and quicker than a flash of lightening he was no more, all that remained was a bloody pile of clothes. All of the children in the circle around Lucy screamed and panicked then they all made a run for it, but Lucy's vectors were much faster than all of them and in no time the rest of the children had met the same fate as foolish little Blaine. "Abracadabra." Lucy stated to no one in particular which made the voice inside her head let out a hearty amused laugh.

When the voice laughed, it triggered something in Lucy and her heart became very heavy as the reality of what she had just done finally set in. "Shit!" she yelled angrily, "How could I have done this! I wasn't supposed to give in to her stupid persuasive talk." Rather than think rationally about how Lucy was going to fix what was done she did what any normal eleven year old did and ran as fast as she could all the way home. No one knew it was Lucy that did that to all of those kids and no one would suspect a little girl had the power to do it in the first place so she figured she would be ok as long as she acted very surprised when she heard about it on the news and hoped no one would catch on.


Just as Lucy had anticipated, the news of someone slaughtering a bunch of kids at a local elementary school was all over the television and newspapers the next morning. When she went down stairs for breakfast all of the Briefs and Yamcha sat at the table looking horrified at the news they were hearing. "Oh Lucy!" Mrs. Briefs cried as she ran over and hugged her in a tight embrace. "I can't believe those horrible murders happened at your school! You are not going back there it isn't a safe place for children!"

"Where else can she go, dear?" Mr. Briefs asked in his usual bored tone.

"We'll have a tutor come to the house. You'd like that wouldn't you Lucy?" All Lucy could do was nod in response because of how tight of a hold Mrs. Briefs had on her. Lucy looked over at Bulma and gave her a pleading look with her eyes.

"Um, mom. I think you should let go of Lucy she looks like she is turning blue." Mrs. Briefs immediately relaxed her grasp.

"How would you like some breakfast now, sweetie?"

"That would be great, thank you!" Lucy replied then she ran over to the table and tried to avoid looking or listening to the television, she did not want to relive the horrible thing she had done the day before.

End Note: morbid 333, I am actually doing a little bit of all three of those things you mentioned, we'll see how that turns out.
