Anna Gregner's P.O.V.
I stabbed the last monster, watching him turn into dust and fly with the wind. I panted as I grabbed my things and began my journey again. Staying in a same place was dangerous thing to do, especially in this world... I hung my bag pack over my shoulder and grabbed tight my hand-made dagger and began walking.
The city was deserted. No people around, not even a dog. Though, I could see some lights still flickering around. I wonder why they are still on...
"I can't believe we did it!" I heard a voice around the corner. It sounded like a happy voice, which confused me to the extreme, because... Who the Hell would enjoy being in this world?!
"Why are you so happy about this, Annie?" this time, a make voice, made an apperance. This sounded more severe, as if it was scolding the first person. I got closer to the wall, listening to their conversation "When Dad finds out..."
"He won't do a thing, Jason" the woman's voice replied, almost shutting the conversation.
"No. But, if Mom finds out..." I heard a gasp and I knew the girl got feared.
"You wouldn't..."
"I won't, because I value my life..." the guy admitted "If Mom finds out we escaped, she's gonna have my head in a platter because I didn't stop you from going out" he emphasized the subjects, hearing more bitter than the beginning.
"What are you talking about, Jason?" the girl finally asked, as if she was afraid to ask.
"Look, you're my sister and I adore you, Annie... But, I'm tired that, even being the older, I'm always second to everything. Even to Dad's affection..." the guy explained. It was obvious by now that they were siblings and the guy was looking out for his little sister in this world. I curled my fists and dug my nails into my palms. I was here, hearing this two siblings arguing about who got more love of their parents. And, I couldn't even have that!
"But, you got Mom..." his sister argued with him. All I wanted to do was coming out and smacking both their head.
"Mom shares her love, which is what both our parents should be doing..." he denied. I sighed, but I sighed too high, because they stopped talking. I didn't move, hoping they hadn't heard me. But I'm not that lucky.
"She's... she's a girl" I finally saw the siblings. Both of them were blonde, with pale freckled skin. Both were built, which meant they worked out, in a way, because it was really hard to do so in this world. They also looked built as 'they've been feed regularly'. Lucky bastards... Their eyes were blue, though the eyes of the boy looked more brighter than the girl's.
"You're acting as you've never seen a girl before..." the guy rolled his eyes as if saying 'you're so obvious...'
"I've never seen a girl outside the Center!" she grumbled, as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well, now you did... from whatever you come..." I trailed off, trying to get away from them. I walked away, but I couldn't, because they didn't let me "Let me go before we get attack"
"She's right about that, you know" a new voice said this time. The siblings stiffen when they heard that voice. Since they were facing me, I had a good view of the woman who was walking towards us. She was kind of short, at least, not taller than the guy in front of me. Her hair was short, black and spiky and her pale skin was shinning under the light. Her clothes of choice? Unlike the kids in front of me, she was wearing pure black leather. Boots, jacket and pants. And, by the look of the siblings, she was someone that exude power.
"M-Mom..." the guy, whose name was apparently Jason, stuttered. Of course he would be afraid of Mommy... I wish I could even met mine, but... Karma's a bitch.
"Hi, Mom..." the girl imitated her sibling and waved shyly.
"So, who was the master mind of this getaway...? Never mind, I don't wanna know..." she raised a hand to stop them from talking "You're both grounded..."
"But, Mom-"
"You should had thought it before escaping, Miss" she cut her daughter, stern. The girl shut her mouth and her mother walked closer "Who are you?" she directed the question to me, but she didn't sound as mean as she was with the siblings.
"Why should I tell you?" I argued back, trying to be brave. She smirked at me.
"Because you wouldn't had survived if you weren't like us" she answered, which surprised me.
"What do you mean, 'if I weren't like us'? What are we?" I was frenetic in the search of answers, answers I'd never have answers for.
"You never knew one of your parents. You were raised by a single parent before this madness took him or her away..." I gaped at the woman, because she was describing what I lived during the first years of living.
"That- that's true..." I finally stammered, looking ready to cry. She smiled at me and placed a hand over my shoulder, gently.
"Let us help you..." she offered me "I promise that not everyone is like this, trust me"
"Hey!" Jason complained, but his mother ignored him.
"I promise this is world, where you're were living now, would be gone..." she promised at me. I looked at my hand-made knife and started to imagine a world were I wouldn't have to carry it.
"Looks like Karma did help me..." I chuckled, making her do it as well.
"So, you seem like a daughter of Nemesis..." she guessed, though I didn't know who Nemesis was "It's a long story, but guess that you helped this two to get what they deserved for escaping my house"
"Mom!" Jason whined.
And, that's how I met Jason Castellan's Mom...
