Chapter 6: Fake identities

''Ke'ri, don't worry daddy is here.'' Said the girl's father who was very worried for her.

''Daddy... mommy... I'm scared.'' Said the girl while her father and mother where doing all they could for their daughter to get better.

Then, the door of their house open and two kids came in.

'' Who are you!?'' Said the mother who, along with her husband, were trying to protect their daughter.

'' Why are you protecting someone who is all ready dead?'' I asked.

That moment, both of the girl's parents looked at her lifeless body. Naturally, they were shocked about the discovery, but I told them,'' Don't worry you'll soon forget about her.''

After I said that, I used some of Grima's power and altered their memories in order for them to believe that my sister was Ke'ri.

Both of the parents went to a deep sleep and my sister said,'' Brother, what will happen to the body?''

'' Don't worry about it. I'll bury her.'' I said in an emotionless tone.

'' Brother, are you sure you can use that much of Grima's power? If you need help then I can-'' Said my sister before I cut her off by saying,'' I can take the pressure and the power it doesn't matter that I'm only 8. I can take it.''

''What are you going to do after this?'' Asked my sister who was scared and worried.

'' I don't know but I'll be close by.'' I answered her.

The next day, I buried the girl before the parents of her could wake up and I went to the next town which was close by.

* Female Robin's POV*

'' Ke'ri.'' Said a woman who put her hand on my forehead.

'' Dear! Come quickly! Ke'ri is fine!'' Said the woman who was hugging me, later her husband join her by also hugging me. I wanted to tell them that I wasn't Ke'ri, but all I did was cry.

For the next days, we moved to the next town where my brother resided. There, I met him and he told me that he had become a thief and friends with someone called Gaius.

I attended a school nearby my new house and made a lot of friends, but one day, while I was returning from school, I came across a boy who was starving and close to death. So, I took him to my house where my 'father', Ton'ke, who was a doctor, checked him and saved his life.

That night, I went to the kid's bedroom because my father told me to go and check if he was doing well.

When I was about to leave, the kid woke up and asked me,'' Where am I?''

'' You are in my house, you almost died out there.'' I said.

'' You should have left me to die.'' He said in a low voice.

'' NO! If you die then, that's it. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE! YOU SHOULD NOT WISH TO BE DEAD! If you do then- then.'' I started crying.

My parents came into the room, while the kid faked to be asleep.

The next day, there was no school and I went to the kid's room where he apologized to me.

'' I'm sorry if it bothered you the way I reacted.'' I told him.

'' Don't worry about it. Anyway, what is your name?'' Said the kid.

'' I'm R- Ke'ri. My name is Ke'ri and, what is yours?'' I said

'' I don't have a name. I raised myself in the slums.'' He said.

'' Well, you look to be twelve. And, a name the goes with twelve is...um... Lon'qu. If I remembered correctly they are connected... somehow.'' I told him.

'' Lon'qu... it is a nice name. Thank you, Ke'ri.'' Said the boy with a small grin.

'' You are welcome, Lon'qu.'' I said with a big grin plastered in my face.
