Kiteria: Heyo guys and gals. It doesn't seem like a lot of you are terribly interested in this, but I'm hoping to get more reviewers as time goes on. Enjoy!


Caesar frowned as he stood in the doorway of Naria's room while one of his subordinates laid her in her bed. The four year old had cried until she fell asleep. She had passed her examination test with flying colors, but what worried the dark haired scientist as he looked at the blonde and black haired little girl slumbering in the dark was what was going to happen now that she found out she had been killing people. He knew she would find out eventually, but he hadn't bothered to think of what to do if she found out sooner.

Walking into the room, Caesar looked down at the child that was his greatest experiment so far. Her skin was as fair as his own, even her hair was a bit like his. It was blonde at the top, something she'd gotten from her mother, but as it got towards the ends it turned black. He didn't know what to do, he didn't think of her as a daughter. Why would he when she had been made in a lab not a bed? She had been created for the sole purpose of being a weapon he could present to the government or highest bidder.

"Daddy…"

Looking up at the sound of Naria's voice, Caesar was surprised when he saw she had turned over to face him but was still sound asleep. He was her father, but only in the sense some of his DNA had been used in her creation. He would be lying though, if he said he hadn't been surprised when he walked into the room after being told of her birth to see the room full of black-like smoke and the only one alive was Naria. When he'd picked her up and seen iridescent purple eyes looking up at him he had first been repulsed, but then thought of the possibilities her birth meant for him and decided to raise her.

"Tell me if she wakes up."

He told the men standing outside the room as he left. He would have some time to come up with an excuse to fool the four year old, until then he had research he needed to tend to.


Iridescent violet eyes opened slowly before settling on the shadows coming from under her bedroom door. As Naria sat up slowly in her bed she noticed the amount of light shining in through the window by the foot of her bed. She knew the second the men outside her door knew she was awake she'd be taken to see her father or he'd come to see her and the four year old wasn't all that sure how to react just yet. She had always had an inkling of a feeling that her annual tests weren't just a game, the blood and fear in the mens' eyes hadn't gone unnoticed by her but she had believed her dad when he'd told her she was doing nothing wrong.

Shuddering slightly from a mixture of her own morbid thoughts as well as the early morning chill that always filled her room, Naria let her eyes scan over the room that was hers. It was bare really, a little difficult to tell a child lived there at all. The walls were a simply off-white and the floors were a rather disgusting pale lime-green color. A single shelf was pushed against the right wall that had only the bare minimum of books upon its two shelves. The top had three and the bottom only one. She knew that inside the closet were her clothes and some old toys she'd stopped playing with. Looking down at the bed she was sitting in, her eyes scanned over the plain colored grey comforter that had been pushed back once she'd woken up. The light fixture that hung in the middle of her ceiling was dark and the silhouette of the bulb inside was barely visible to her. The room really was quite plain considering it was suppose to belong to a four year old, though Naria supposed it wasn't all that surprising considering how her father was.

Deciding she had attempted to put off the inevitable long enough, Naria got to her feet and walked over to her closet. Opening it silently and picking out her outfit for the day, a simply white sundress with tights, before going over to the door and opening it. It didn't surprise her when the two men standing outside her room turned to her in surprise, obviously not having noticed when she'd woken up. One moved to turn down the hallway but Naria stopped them.

"I'll go see my father."

She said in a tone rather unusual for one so young and it didn't go unnoticed by the two subordinates standing guard outside her room even as they resumed their position.

Walking down the large hallway of the complex her father had set up his lab in left Naria with some time to think again. She couldn't help but wonder just what else her father had told her had been a lie. There were times he'd told her not to go into rooms because of his concern for her safety, that she shouldn't use her powers near him because their powers would mix wrong and make them both sick, that she had to stay with a guard of at least two people at all times when outside the complex and more. It was all a little overwhelming for the four year old's mind and she decided as she reached the door leading into her father's lab that she would just not think about it any more and just confront her father about it. He probably had a really good reason for lying to her and probably wasn't going to do it again.


Yellow eyes watched as the small figure of Naria walked into the room, closing the door behind her. Caesar watched silently, observing her as she walked further into the room with her head down and eyes focused on her feet until she stood where she knew she was suppose to be, then turned to face him. Violet eyes stared up into yellow before Caesar forced a smile to grace his features.

"Naria, dear, how are you?"

He asked and could tell by the lack of immediate reaction from his experiment that she was still upset about what she had been told.

"Why did you lie to me daddy?"

She asked and Caesar mentally cursed the dead man for blabbing to her and now forcing him to cover it up.

"It was for your own good sweetie. Daddy was afraid that you wouldn't want to learn to use your powers otherwise. It's so you know how to defend yourself if something were to ever happen to you."

He lied, a worried pout taking space on his face as he stared down at Naria. The blonde and black haired girl looked up at him, momentarily hesitant before a smile spread across her face making him smirk internally at her gullibility.

Now that he wouldn't have to worry about his experiment rebelling against him for ridiculous moral reasons that a four year old shouldn't even have, Caesar ushered Naria towards the door wanting to get back to his latest experiment that was behind the curtain at the back of the room. He wanted to make a spy to have to go behind enemy lines that would pique the interest of the government and he was pretty sure he was close to a breakthrough. All he had to do was-

"Daddy, I know it's early and you're busy, but I did catch all five men yesterday so do I get my wish?"

Naria asked, looking up at him with hope-filled eyes that almost made him want to puke.

"Sure sweetie, what's your wish?"

He asked in a fake-sweet voice that made him want to tear his own face off, it sickened him to act so sweet.

"A hug."

She said softly and Caesar wasn't fully sure he'd heard her at first before she started pouting from his prolonged silence.

"Of course dear."

He said, opening his arms in invitation and hid his disgusted face as she hugged him with a huge smile on her face. As she stepped back she beamed happily at him before he ushered her out of the room saying she should go find Monet to work on her tactical lessons.

As soon as she was out of the room Caesar shuddered in disgust at the lingering feeling of her arms around him. He moved towards the back of the room, throwing the white curtain aside and staring down with a wicked smirk at the girl strapped to the metal table. He had been slowly altering her DNA over the course of a month and was surprised to see it started to change her appearance. She was sprouting wings and had noticed a significant difference in her eyesight through the tests he ran. This girl had been on the boat of other children he'd gathered to treat, or at least that was the lie he'd told their parents. Truth was, children really were the best test subjects. Their immune systems were usually stronger than adults and were more likely to adapt and survive his tests. Most of the time anyway.

From the results he was seeing so soon, it looked like he'd have his spy ready for field testing soon. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of having his name passed around and revered as much as his old mentor's for the creations he was making. Soon he would be known as the world's greatest scientist.


Shoutouts

Rain: Yea, the point was to be an eye-opener for her. She fell for her father's lies again, but the next time she won't listen. Naria has strong morals for being so young, I think you'll be surprised with how things progress. Stay tuned though.

xd9lizzy: Yea you were. I'm really glad you followed from my other fictions to this one. You're a regular reviewer I love to hear from. I am pretty bad for taking a while to post and I apologize for that, sometimes the flow of ideas isn't always constant. I hope to be able to write more of this story, but I'm struggling a bit with it already which isn't a good sign. Here's to hoping I can keep going.

Suteruben: I'm hoping to be able to make a transition of her smoothly, but for right now I'm trying to establish a bit of her backstory without giving too much away. I do hope you will enjoy this story and continue reading it.
