Chapter 2: Newbie
Narrator's POV:
"Aisha! Rise and shine~" a voice of a 38 years old lady was heard as she pulled the bedsheet off of an amethyst, purple head. "Up up up!" The lady exclaimed loudly as she clapped her hands together 3 times each.
The girl lazily sat up. When she had sat up straight, she groaned and fell back down while let out a grunt, "and down down down."
The lady frowned before moving toward her. In one swift motion, she had the girl pinned down on the floor with her knee on her chest.
"M-mom!" The girl complained as she struggled to stood up.
"Up! Now."
"I will, if you would get off of me!" The lady slowly stood up, taking her time.
"You're 17, you need to learn how to get up on time," the lady said as she neatly made the lavender bed while her daughter moved into the bathroom. "And beside, today, you're joining the gang."
The girl stopped what she did and poked her head out. "I thought the minimum age is 20."
"You're my daughter, of course you can join anytime." The girl bit her bottom lip slightly before closed the door and went to took a shower. "Go down when you're ready, Aisha!" Her mom called out through the loud echoes of water running.
"Got it!" Aisha shouted stepped into the shower and let the water ran down. She sighed, why do I have to do this? She just always have to get me involve in these things.
After a while, she turned off the water and walked out with a purple tower wrapped around her. She changed into her usual outfit after she blow dried her hair.
Aisha's POV:
I was wearing a white cloak that reached down to my knees with pink outlines. I had a pink bow with a golden thingy in the middle. I had on a purple... turtleneck was it? My shirt was dark brown-purple with pink outlines. My purple skirt was short and spread out with pink outlines. I had on black tights that reached up to my thigh with white outlines and I wore white boots that reached up to my ankles. My tights had a white cross right on top of my knees and I wore brown gloves. I held a white staff had a white cross inside the circle that was right below the big golden cross. There was a golden ring right below it and it had 2 white wings on each side. On top of each wings were some gold metal.
"..." was all Speka could managed as she saw me.
"What?" I asked irritatedly, knowing what she was gonna ask.
"Can't you wear something more appropriate for gangsters?"
"No. And when does gangsters wear anything appropriately?"
Speka blinked before looked down at her own outfit. I smirked and drank a cup of water in triumph, knowing I had won. "Well, that was nice," she retorted.
"Mom, there are no rules that said that I need to wear emo stuff."
She simply shrugged and continued to made breakfast. "Hurry up and eat, we have 30 more mins before we have to go," she said as set down a plate of bacon, eggs, and rice, which I hurried gulping down all of it.
Speka was a witch, she used dark magic spell and her most precious companion was a bat, Angkor. He was a bat summoned from the darkness. Due to love and affection for darkness, she had earned herself a title as Shadow Witch. She had been a gang leader ever since she was 21. She had been in one of those loser gang, a gang that I would soon be joining, the Hell Fire. Noticed I said "had been".
Since the old leader was pathetic, she killed him and took position as the new leader, from then on, she tried her best to brought our gang up to the top. Which you could've guess, the Hell Fire were now a 2nd place rank, right under the Faceless Assassins, the most dangerous gang ever.
As for me, my mom didn't really expected for me to turned out this way. She forced me to study dark magic like her, but instead, I turned into a mage who can control the 4 elements, earning myself a title as Elemental Master. She was very disappointed at first, but she got used to it.
Also, no one here would be consider as normal, they either got some kind of magical spells or some kind of martial arts and techniques to keep themselves alive. Most of the police are swordman... I know right, sucks huh?
Well anywho, there were still a lot of people who don't want to join a gang. They might as well either leave or just defense themselves. People were walking on the streets casually, unaware of when they would be target.
Suddenly someone bumped into me, I staggered back. I looked up at her and her ears were the only thing that caught my attention. Pointy, long ear could only led to one thing: elf.
"Oh I'm sorry, are you alright?" The elf smiled cheerfully at me. She wore a pink skirt and looked about 25. I just nodded before she walked away.
I studied Speka's face as I followed her behind. Even though she was 38, she looked liked teenager. She turned around the corner as I followed her into a dark valley. She led me around a couple more corners that I lost track of after a while. Finally, she came to a stop before opened up a round lid from the ground and climbed down the manhole. She led me around and came to stop at a huge door. She knock 3 times; 2 fast and the last one was separated by 2 seconds, a person opened up a small hole to looked through before closing it and opened the door.
"Greeting mistress," a man nodded to her as she walked in.
"Morning," she said shortly as she walked past.
I hurried after her into a huge room. The room contained more than 100 people as they all looked up the moment Speka stepped in. She ignored all of the glances as she walked up to front of the room, which was in front of her office door. She glanced down at all of them, waiting for them to be silence before spoke up.
"A new member would be joining us today, she's my daughter, Aisha." I could felt all eyes were on me as I tried to retain my calmness. "Treat her nicely."
"A rookie huh?" A voice sounded from the crowd as a black hair boy walked out. He wore a shirt that leave his stomach expose and white pant. A Rune Slayer, I thought as he approached me. His hand reached out, lifting my chin up as he studied me.
"Leo, I know you like to flirt with rookies, whether they are a male or a female, but please lay off of my daughter this time," Speka sighed As she glared at him.
"Aw but this one's a cutie," he pouted. But then his hand slowly traveled down from my neck as I frowned and brought up my leg. I swiftly brought it up between his leg as he fell down, hugging where I had kicked him.
I kicked him away before murmuring, "stupid pervert."
Laughter was heard throughout the crowd while some cheers.
Even Speka cracked a smile. "Alright, back to your training." She walked toward me. "Alright, rule number one. Stay away from that guy. Rule number two, don't ever go out alone. Number 3, stick with the group. Clear?"
"Crystal."
"Good," she said. Then she waved over an elf. "Rena, show her around for me please."
And with that, she walked away.
next chapter is coming sooon~
Eh... these first couple of chps kinda boring, it would get better later on :) *cough* no promises.
She was suppose to be a void princess, but instead, she turned into a EM. :3 having a mom as a demon queen doesnt mean she have to b the same as her.
