The Destroyer
Chapter 3
And So It Begins
Today was the day I wasn't looking forward to. I was trying to look for something to wear for this stupid lunch that Nanoha invited me to. "No. Nope. Too much black" Going through my closet, I couldn't help but notice that most of my clothes are black and almost Goth like. I wouldn't want to scare her if I wanted the plan to follow through. I would just have to conjure something up. I picked my favorite black shirt from my closet and put it over my black bra. Once buttoned only leaving the top two undone, I used my magic to form blue jeans over my legs. They hugged my hips and legs, showing off my wonderful assets. Just like I liked it. I put on my favorite black high heel shoes. There was one last thing that I had to do before I left. I went over to my dresser, which had a mirror attached. There lay my father's necklace. It was a pretty necklace. It had a locket on the end shaped like a circle, which was almost as big as the palm of my hand. As much as I tried opening it, it would never budge. What was in it? I probably would never know. I picked up the necklace and pulled it over my head.
I placed my hands over the locket with tenderness as I had always done as my eyes shifted to the picture of my father. He was a handsome man. I wonder what he was like. I didn't look like him, since he had brown hair and green eyes. I wonder if I look like my mom. I pushed the thoughts to my sub-conscious. I can't be seen being vulnerable. I'm The Destroyer…..but the thought of my parents…
~0~
It was one o'clock on the dot and I found myself walking into Midori-ya café. It was rather crowded inside, which I was confused to why she would ask me to come in at this time. I swear, human are useless. I looked around my surroundings looking for the person that invited me her in the first place, but she was nowhere to be found. I did spot that guy that got his face pummeled yesterday. Shit! He spotted me and is now walking over here. Act normal. I placed my famous fake smile on my face.
"Hello Fate. I hope you don't mind. Nanoha told me your name since I didn't get the chance to ask" he said with a smile.
"No it's okay. Speaking of Nanoha, is she around?"
"She's…." Before he could finish his sentence, Nanoha came bursting out of the kitchen door with plates of food in hand. She quickly made her way to a table, placing the food down.
"Sorry for the wait" she said bowing and she started making her way back to the kitchen.
"Nanoha looks who's here" Nanoha then turns and then that same smile she gave me last night came.
"Fate! I'm happy you could come" she says walking over to me.
"Are you sure that this was a good time to come? I mean you guys look busy"
"Well…" she was cut off by her brother.
"Yeah we are busy, but Nanoha can take a break to have lunch with you. And for saving us last night, the food's on the house"
"Thank you" I wasn't going to be modest and say "Oh no. You don't have to". What crap.
"Let grab a table then" Nanoha said with a cheery smile and I smiled back. This was going to be a long and agonizing day.
"So Fate, are you from around here? I've never seen you around before yesterday" she said eating her fries.
"Actually I'm not. I live far far far away, but I'm thinking about taking residence here" I said making sure to put emphasis on far away.
"Well that would be good if you did stay. We would be able to hang out more" Damn this girl is persistent. We just met and she already wants to hang out again. "How old are you? You seem to be a mature person"
"I'm twenty"
"I'm nineteen. I go to the University near here. Do you attend school?"
"No I don't" I was getting really irritated from all of the questions and I seriously wanted to say fuck the plan and just kill her, but I kept my cool.
"Is your parents okay with that? Mine would raise hell if I didn't"
"I don't have a family"
"Oh I'm sorry. It must be hard" she says with a sad face. I didn't need pity. Not from a human anyway.
"It doesn't matter. I've gotten use to it. It's no big deal Nanoha"
"Well you must be really strong to deal with something like that"
"Yeah I guess you could say that" There was silence. At this point I just wanted to leave and be done with this.
"Wow. That's a pretty locket Fate" she leans over the table to grab it, but before she could I smack her hands away sending a glare her way. She instantly retracted her hand and sat back down.
"I'm sorry" She had a look on her face that said that she was either scared or sad. This wasn't going to work. I had to calm down or else Chrono's plan wasn't going to work. I removed the glare from my face leaving an expressionless one.
"Sorry about that. This is the only thing that I have of my father's and I'm very protective of it. If you would excuse me" and I got up to get out of there.
"Fate wait" Nanoha said but I didn't stop. I needed to be alone and worry about the plan later.
I walked to the nearby alley so that I could think. When I was halfway down the alley, I laid my head against the brick wall in order to try and calm down, but it didn't work. I was furious that she was asking me all those personal questions. I hated that she felt pity for me and the fact that she touched my father's necklace pissed me off even more just thinking about it.
"I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING PITY" I yelled as I smashed my fist into the wall. I kept on punching until I couldn't even see my hands anymore because it was so deep within the wall. I took my hands out of the wall. My knuckles had blood dripping down them. I could even see bone, but it didn't matter because it soon healed up to look exactly as it did before I smashed my fists through the wall. I pressed my head back on the wall. "We did you send me here?"
"Hey pretty lady. Looks like you need some company" I pulled my head off the wall and turned my head in the direction the voice came from. Standing there were three guys, who seemed to be older than me. I was mad all over again at this point and I knew that it was showing on my face.
"If you guys know what's best for you, you'll leave now" I said backing away from the wall to fully face them. I could feel my anger rising by the second and my inner demon begged to be freed.
"Sorry, but I don't think that you're in any position to make any demands" the same man said as all three guys pulled out knives. I smirked. What the hell did these guys think those weapons were going to do to me? They should have turned around when I gave them the chance to because now they're going to be in for a real surprise…..one they won't be coming back from.
I could feel my shoulders shaking. I just had to laugh. This was just too funny to contain.
"There's nothing funny about this bitch. You're going to die" I just continued to laugh because little did they know that they would be the ones that would perish. My laughter must have pissed the guy off because he signaled one of his other guys to handle the job. He came running at me. Stupid human.
The black aura engulfed me. I could see the changes on the guys' faces as they saw my eyes glowing blood red. The guy in front of me tried to stop, but it was too late for him. He was too close. And when he was close, I grabbed him by the neck lifting him off his feet. I could see the fear in his eyes as he was choking for air. The other guys were stunned; glued to their position.
"Scared aren't you?" I said to the guy in my hand.
"Pl….PLEASE" he screamed. I smirked. I think that he knew what was coming. It was showing in his eyes. "N-no don't….pl-" I cut him off by crushing his neck, killing him instantly. His body lay limp in my hand. I tossed him to the side. I had other things to do besides holding his body.
The other two guys started screaming and turned to try and run for it. That wouldn't be as easy as they thought. I conjured my flaming whips.
"Oh no you don't" I said as I sent my whips flying their direction. They stopped as my whips circled around their ankles and before they could think about what was happening, they went falling to their faces, as I dragged them back to me.
They screamed the whole way. I could see smoke coming from their legs, which meant that the flames were doing their job. Once they were in front of me, I searched around the alley for something.
"Perfect" I took the whip that had the bastard that was talking all the shit, threw the whip over one of the balconies overhead and pulled it so that he was hanging over the ground. His screams were louder. I'm sure the flames were burning his skin. I walked so that his face was facing mine. "I'm saving you for later" I said smiling. He began to cry.
My attention was brought back to the other guy, who seemed to be attempting to crawl using his arms, but was failing miserably.
"Where do you think you're going" I said walking over to him.
"Please let me go" he sobbed.
"You should have thought about that before you disturbed my quiet time" I grabbed him by the back of his shirt until he was on his feet. I turned him around and punched him on his jaw. I was sure that it was broken from the cracks of bone I could hear. He slumped over after the hit. I was about to lay more punches, but something interesting caught my eyes. It was a metal pole sticking out of the wall.
I smirked at the idea that had just come to mind. I picked the guy up so that his was in the air.
"Sorry my friend, but this is where your life ends" and I threw him straight for the pole. There wasn't even a scream as his body was pierced by the pole. I suppose there wouldn't be if a pole goes through your heart. Well anyway. Back to the main event. I turned to the last guy and walked over to him.
"No! No please" he pleaded.
"Please! Please what? Please so I won't kill you?" I laughed. "You could have spared your friends from dying such a bad death, if you would have just left like I told you to. So now you are going to die like the rest of them"
"Please don't kill me" he cried.
"No, you're going to die today. You're going to die a harsher death than your buddies. You're going to die a slow, but very painful death" A fireball appeared from my hands and the guys eyes grew wide. I raised my hand to where the fireball was in front of my face.
"NO!" I blew the fire in his face and in a matter of seconds, his whole body was engulfed in flames. His screams were loud. He screamed for help, but no one was going to save him. His screams only lasted a few minutes before there was silence.
"See you in hell my friends" and with a wave of my hand, the three bodies disappeared without a trace of ever being there. I collected my whips and went my way.

It was night before I decided to come back to Midori-ya café. I really didn't want to come back, but I had to if the plan. After taking a deep breath, I opened the door to the café. There was no one there, except for a figure sitting at the same table before I left. When the door closed, a bell went off, which caught the attention of the person sitting at the table. She looked at me with her sad blue eyes, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. She got up from her seat, running over to me placing me in a tight hug.
"Fate where were you? I was worried" Her head was buried within my breasts, which had me a little surprised and feeling a little weird. It was something I couldn't describe. I grabbed her by the shoulders to get her face out of there and gently pushed her away from me.
"I needed some fresh air"
"I know that it had something to do with me touching your necklace. I just wanted to say that I was sorry"
"It's okay Nanoha. I'm just not use to people touching my things. I'm sorry for my reaction" I said trying to sound as sincere as possible.
"I'll remember to be careful next time"
"Okay. Well I have to be going. I'll see you around Nanoha"
"See you around" and with that, I turned to open the door. As I turned the door knob to the café, something warm grabbed my left hand. I turned my head to see Nanoha behind me with her hand holding mine.
"Nanoha?" Her cheeks had a pink tint to them. Is she blushing? I had heard of it from Master Chrono before. He told me that when people blush, there could be many reasons behind it.
"I just…..I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. You don't have to go through life by yourself. I'm here if you need me" she said with that smile she always smiles. As much as I wanted to refuse, I couldn't because this was a way for us to get close.
"Thanks Nanoha. I appreciate it. Good night"
"Good night Fate" and I left.
~0~
"So, how's your mission coming along Fate?" Master said in a calm voice.
"It's going well. I'm sure that Nanoha will trust me in no time"
"Good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Good work Fate"
"Thank you Master"
"You may go" I bowed and left for my room. Once there, I fell on my bed landing on my stomach. Today was a rough one. I wonder how many more days would I have to experience days like this.
I turned over sighing in the process. I moved my left hand to put behind my head, but I stopped. This was the hand that Nanoha held. I looked at it curiously. Why could I still feel the warmth of her hand on my usual cold ones? No one had ever held my hand before. I had never felt something so…..warm….
