OH! things like this are like the uhm...what is it called? nararator? gods!i need mah beta! btq, she is gone at the moment, so bear woith the mistakes. i looked over it, but i gots A.D.D. so...yeah.
picture if you will, a young Zero. this of course takes place before his parents die. he loves his brother, but he is about to meet someone he can never forget...
"Zero! come down here honey!" shouted his mother from the bottom of the steps. Zero's father had taken his brother (whose name i do not remember!!) to the doctor for a checkup.
Zero ran down the stairs, but skidded to a stop when he saw a small figure taking off her coat. his eyes widened in horror as he saw the figure had two small fangs.
"Zero, this is Lilly." his mother said. he opened his mouth to speak, but she raised her hand for silence. "I realize she has fangs. i assure you, she is not a vampire. you see, she is an experiment the hunters are doing, and it is now time for us to teach her what we know." she explained as she held the girl by her shoulders. she pushed her forward a little, and spoke. "Zero, i want you to take her outside and show her the woods. allow her to get acquainted with the area before you come back. take all the time you need."
the little girl said nothing as she put on her coat. Zero hatefully grabbed his off the hook, and without waiting for Lilly began to head towards the woods. she caught up with him, but gave him space as she trudged on behind him. there was a light coat of snow on the ground. she stopped as she stared at it in wonder. Zero, no longer feeling the presence behind him turned. he rolled his eyes as he walked back and jerked Lilly's hand so she would follow him.
"Zee-roe" she said, trying to get his attention. he turned his head and saw she was pointing to the ground. she had a questioning look on her face.
"Snow" he said as he once again began to walk. 'what is wrong with her? can she not talk?' he mused as he felt a small tug on his hand. he stopped and saw that Lilly was pointing to his dog that was no making it's way over to them. he smiled. "Cujo." he said as he bent down and began to pet his dog. it oftened snowed, so his parents had gotten him a husky.
Lilly looked at the dog and bent down. as she reached her hand out to pet it, Cujo suddenly snapped his head and bite down on her hand. Zero tried to get the dog to release its grip, but it was useless. he stared as Lilly did nothing to get the dog off. instead, she allowed the dog to bite her. she bent over and laid on the dog as she stroked its fur. slowly Cujo released his grip. he then whimpered and licked her hand. she smiled as she pet his head. she looked up at Zero and smiled. "Cujoe" she said as she petted the dog. Zero nodded.
Lilly sat up and started walking into the woods. Zero shook his head and followed close behind. the rest of the evening passed with Lilly pointing to random objects and Zero telling her the word for them.
TIME SKIP!!
Zero walked into the house and shrugged off his coat. he hanged it on the hook, and walked into the kitchen. "Hey Mom?" he asked.
"yes?" she asked, taking the pie out of the oven to cool.
"How come Lilly can't talk?" he asked iln a rushed voice. his mother put the knife she was using to cut the pie down.
"Look Zero, there are just some things you have to wait to understand. Lilly is one of them. Now, i spoke to your father, and the roads are getting bad in town. he and your brother are going to stay at your aunts house. i want you to take Lilly up to your room. tonight she can sleep in your brother's bed. get ready for bed. i'll be there in a few moments to help her get ready."
Zero nodded and headed out the door. Lilly was waiting where he had left her, she still had her jacket on. he gently pulled it off her and led her upstairs to his room. he pointed to his brother's bed and left to change into his pajamas. when he returned Lilly was sitting on the bed looking around the room. she smiled when she saw Zero walk in. he asked where his mother was, but of course he did not get an answer. "oh, sorry. i forgot." he laughed. as if she could answer him. he left and went downstairs. he looked all over, but could not find his mother. finally he looked in his parents room. his mother was passed out on the bed. he quietly shut the door and went back to his room.
He walked over to his brother's colset and pulled out a pair of old pajama's. he thought they would fit, so he tossed them to Lilly. she didn't react. instead, she looked at the clothes that landed at her feet in wonder. Zero blushed and walked over. averting his eyes, he pulled off her shirt. he quickly dressed her in the pajamas and turned of the light.
TIME SKIP!!
When he awoke, he saw Lilly still in bed sleeping. he rolled over, and landed on his brother. "W-What are you doing here? i thought you and dad were staying in town?" Zero asked, clearly confused in his sleepy state.
his brother sighed. "we did. we got here this morning. mom said to let you sleep. so, what is it like?" Zero looked puzzled, so he continued. "the experiment!" he said, pointing to Lilly.
"Oh, you mean Lilly. well, she can't talk. put i think she wants to. sorry, i didn't know what else to put her in." his brother shook his head.
and things continued to be peaceful. the three friends spent their days teaching Lilly to talk. after a few weeks, she could make simple sentences. but, i am afraid my readers that their happiness was not to last. a day came when the brothers woke up and found their friend to be gone.
the twins rushed down the stairs into their parents room. "Where is she?!" they both yelled in unison.
their parents looked away as they explained. "the hunters needed her to perform what she was created for. unfortunately, she had become too attached to the two of you. they had to delete her." the boys' faces were blank.
"YOU KILLED HER?!" Zero yelled, his small body shaking from anger.
"look, someday you will understand. look son, i know you were attached to her, but she was just an experiment. nothing more. she could never have been an actual person. from the moment she was created she was destined to die. don't you understand?"
but Zero did not understand. he wouldn't understand until he came to live at the academy. the headmaster had explained what was really going on. the hunters had created a monster, a monster they code named "Lilly" she was to educate herself by spending time with the best of the hunters. she would learn there secrets, and then, when she was at her prim, she would be sent into battle against purebloods. the hunters had been very close to their victory. they created her with fangs so the vampires would not harm her. she was to infiltrate the purebloods headquarters and tell them the hunters had killed her family. however, on the very same day she had met Zero, her DNA was altered. it was unexplainable. here was the ultimate weapon, and it had been altered by a ten year old boy. they attempted to understand how it was possible, but they could not. they labeled it as a fluke. they would never again try the experiment, they had no time to before the very same people who had created her were killed by aristocrats. all the information they posed were taken and analyzed by the vampires. it was only a matter of time before the information slipped into the wrong hands. the vampire who came across the information had anther plan in mind. he persuaded a pureblood to allow him to perform tests on her child. he altered her genes so that she would be obedient only to the Kuran blood line. when the child was born, she was taken away from her real mother and was brought up thinking it was just a curse. little did she know that the power to save her rested in the hands of the one who would never do what was needed, Zero.
XD sorry to leave on a cliffy. now, i do not want any ppl asking me what he would have to do. all of you will find out in good time. i will leave you with one clue. precious to some, but taken by few. would you be the only one? take mine, and i shall forever be yours. and yes, it will make sense later. any guesses?
