Chapter 14
"What are you talking about?": Star
"Star why do you think we came all the way here, were here to help you kill him."
"Kill him.": Star
You were in shock you had never considered killing Hao, that was something you could never do. Even if you didn't want to help him in his shaman only world killing him was not an option you were willing to consider.
"I won't let you kill him.": Star
"My dear Star were not going to kill him you are."
"I seriously doubt that.":Star
"Star that's the whole reason you were created, the whole reason you're still alive is to kill Hao, just like it's always been don't you remember."
"That's not true I would never…..": Star
"Perhaps your time away from us has affected you but don't worry you'll soon be back to your old self."
"Stay away from me.": Star
You steeped back hopping to distance yourself from this man.
"You can't run away from this Star, it's what you were born to do."
"No I …I…wont.": Star
"Of course you will it's in your programming, sooner or later you will kill Hao. Come you want to know the truth don't you, I'll tell you everything."
"Everything…..":Star
"Yes don't you want to know how you're able to do the things you do."
"I already know, I'm a shaman":Star
"That's only part of it, we need to leave soon before you're forced to go back."
"Hao would never force me to do anything.": Star
"Of course he would why do you think the others follow him, he's brain washed them to his will. He's lied to them and to you. Come with me and I promise you'll know everything."
"Stay the hell away from me.": Star
You didn't care who this man was or what he wanted to tell you all you wanted was to get as far away from him as possible. You turned your back on him and started leaping from building to building hoping to gain some distance from him. However you were confronted again by his companions.
"Why do you keep running away from me? You are my daughter after all, it's only natural I would want you by my side."
The guys were still in the hotel room trying to not be intimidated by their unexpected guest. The room was silent as they all just looked at each other, not sure what to do or say next.
"Master Hao…": Opacho
"Yes Opacho": Hao
"Is it really ok to leave Star alone right now.": Opacho
"Yes, she needs time to deal with all this new information.": Hao
"But what if Star doesn't come back.": Opacho
"Don't worry about that Opacho….": Hao
"Hmmmm……": Opacho
"Maybe you should worry, hell has no fury like a women scorned.": Anna
"You think so….": Hao
"What if Star wants to hurt Master Hao?": Opacho
"Star would never hurt me.": Hao
"The same could not be said for you.": Ren
"Master Hao would never hurt Star, right master Hao": Opacho
"Of course Opacho.": Hao
"Yeah right you already lied to her once. If she's stupid enough to stay with you after that then she deserves to be hurt.": Anna
"Anna ….": Yoh
"I'm only stating the obvious.": Anna
"Well then I suppose I won't make that mistake again…..hmmm …": Hao
"Hmmm what spit it out already.": Horohoro
"Looks like they moved faster than I anticipated.": Hao
"Who would that be?": Ren
"Let go Opacho.": Hao
You continued to run hoping you might be able to get away but no matter how fast you ran they were always one step ahead of you. It was as if they knew what you were thinking, where you would attack from all of your moves were read like they were nothing. As the enemy surrounded you again you prepared yourself for their attack.
"We don't have to do this, all I want is to be by my little girls side is that so wrong."
"Stop calling me that….": Star
"What else would I call my daughter?"
"I see no proof that you're who you say you are. Now leave me alone.": Star
"I never thought that you would develop such an attitude it must be all the time you've spent with Hao, he really is a bad influence on you."
"Shut up": Star
"Now now no need to shout… If you want proof then all you have to do is come with me and I will show you all the proof you need. You do remember the lab don't you."
"Lab?.....": Star
"Of course the lab where you were created, it hasn't changed since the day you disappeared."
"Disappeared…": Star
"Yes don't you remember? It has been a few years and there were a few things we hadn't calculated but all in all things have worked out quite well."
"What are you talking about?": Star
"Haven't you ever wondered where those marks on your arm came from?"
"These marks…": Star
You grabbed your arm close the marks on your arm had always been there, you just thought you got them from some sort of accident before you met your mother. However the man in front of you was quite confident he knew where they came from. The ribbon on your arm allowed you to cover those marks, however they were always present as a constant reminder of what you couldn't remember.
"We had a few mishaps I'll admit but everything we ever did was to make you stronger."
"I don't need you to make me strong.": Star
"Of course not you've done a marvelous job on your own but now it's time to go home."
"I'm not going anywhere.": Star
"You should reconsider our offer before you lose control."
"Control?": Star
"We weren't able to program you properly before you disappeared, if we don't get you back to the lab you could lose control destroying anything and anyone that gets in the way of your purpose."
"What purpose?": Star
"To kill Hao."
You heard enough you weren't going to let this man play with your head any longer. You stood in front of him now with your sword ready to strike. You swung forward but you suddenly stopped, you couldn't understand why your body wasn't listening to your commands.
"You can't kill me Star, one of the benefits of being your father."
You couldn't understand what was going on but you weren't going to wait to figure it out. If you couldn't attack this man with your sword than you would have to use other methods. You preferred to settle things with your own skills instead of relying on your guardian ghost but this time you needed her. As you were about to summon your guardian you could hear footsteps in the distance coming closer to your location.
You couldn't allow others to see what you were about to do, you created a small gust of wind forcing the man in front of you to close his eyes. While you ran tiring to find a safer place without having to involve anyone else. Finally finding an area away from view you turned to find yourself surrounded by his men.
One came from behind but you managed to doge his attack, kicking him in the process. Soon after they all charged at you, attacking you from all directions. As you fought with his men jumping from tree to tree, there was another fight going on at the same time.
"Are you sure you don't want to call back your men for help.": Hao
"I don't need them to speak with you or do I."
"Master Hao Star is fighting.": Opacho
"Yes she is, now…": Hao
A scream could be heard coming from the other side of the area, you were started by the sudden scream but you couldn't afford to lose your concentration with these men. You continued to fight even if you knew something bad was happening so near you at the same time.
As you continued to fight you suddenly saw flames were that scream had come form earlier. You tried running over to see if anyone was hurt but his men were making that difficult. You had enough it was time to end this battle, you called forth your guardian ghost almost at a whisper. The men had no idea what you were doing all the saw was that you had stopped running, you held out your sword to your side. At first glance it appeared to be nothing special, however suddenly sitting on the sword was a small bird. As the men looked toward you all they did was laugh at you while they continued to charge toward you.
"Master Hao is that Star's guardian ghost?": Opacho
"Yes.": Hao
"It's so small.": Opacho
"Yes but don't be fooled by appearances.": Hao
"Master do you think he's dead yet?": Opacho
"No but he will be soon don't worry.": Hao
The men continued to charge toward you at full speed while you just stood there waiting. As they were about to attack you disappeared and you suddenly reappeared behind all of them, with your blood stained sword in hand. The men continued to look at where you once stood only to see nothing, then finally realizing the pain form their wounds they all screamed form the pain as they dropped to the ground.
"Yay Star was so fast Opacho couldn't see her move.": Opacho
"She is full of surprises.": Hao
Finally finishing off those men you made your way toward the fire that was engulfing the trees in the area. You hurried to the area as fast as you could, the scream that ripped through the air was still present in the area. You tried searching for the source but with so many flames you could only get so close. You realized that there was a fountain nearby, you tried carrying water from the fountain to the fire. However having to transport that liquid substance with so many flames around you proved to be a difficult task.
As the flames had finally circled you in the only thing you could see were the shades of red swirling around. Couching from all the smoke you needed to get out to of their but that scream wouldn't let you leave. You turned to come face to face with the source of the screams, it looked like a man but you just could make out how it was. The man covered in flames was coming closer and closer to you, you tried to calm him down but he only came closer. He suddenly grabbed your arm causing pain to burn through you, you tried to make him let go, when suddenly something caused the man to be pushed back.
When you tried to reach out and help him you were grabbed from behind and carried off. You were suddenly flying high in the air as you looked down to see the flames continue to burn. You looked up to see who had grabbed you only to see Hao's smiling face.
"Hao..": Star
"Are you alright?":Hao
"Yes, but the fire is burning everything.": Star
"Don't worry": Hao
As soon as Hao had finished his words the flames had disappeared leaving nothing but ash. Hao came toward the ground gradually, when his feet touched the ground he realized you, as you looked through the area. Everything was burned as you passed through the trees you couldn't help but try to look for that man from before. After looking through the ashes of the tress you found no trace of him. You hoped that he had died quickly so the pain of the flames could not torment him.
Hao walked up behind you and grabbed your hand gently, turning to face him you saw his face filled with anticipation on what you were going to do next. You couldn't help but smile at him you knew that you could never hurt him, you leaned in close to him and gave him a kiss on the check.
"It's been a long day let's get some rest.": Hao
"Ok.": Star
The two of you walked back toward the center of town and it looked like you were heading back towards the hotel. You were so tired after all of today's event you didn't even remember reaching the hotel. You laid in the bed soundly sleeping as the figure next to you joined you closing the distance between the two of you. Wrapping his arms around your body in an effort to have you even closer.
The cold dark room was endless you tried running from one way to the other in hopes of finding a way out. When suddenly the room was engulfed in flames you tried to put them out but no matter how hard you tired nothing seemed to help. You turned to come face to face with the same man as before, his whole body was covered in flames burning at his skin. He grabbed your arm just like before you tried to make him let go but nothing seemed to work as you pushed him back you could see something in the distance.
It appeared to be a door you tried running towards it but you just couldn't reach it, as the door finally appeared to be at arm's length you were pulled back. Without even thinking about it you kicked however it was so hard it sent them through the wall. You turned to see blood everywhere you hadn't realized you kicked him that hard, you rushed over to him seeing how badly he was hurt. When you finally reached him you saw that he was covered in blood, as you turned the man to see his face you were suddenly horrified to see Hao's face.
After that sight you immediately jumped out of bed, you were in suck shocked about what you saw you didn't even notice you had woken up the person next to you.
"Star….": Hao
"Hao": Star
You immediately jumped on top of him hugging him so hard it hurt. Hao didn't question your motives he only hugged you back just as tightly. After you calmed down a little you loosened your grip on him, you laid your head on top of his chest.
…..Just a nightmare…..
You laid there for hours listening to the sound of his heart beat. Once you were sure Hao had fallen asleep you slowly made your way out of Hao's grip. You used your hand to gently stroke the side of Hao's check as you looked down on him, he looked so peaceful. You leaned in and gave Hao one last kiss.
"….good…bye…": Star
You got up from the bed walked through the door and down the hall way, making your way outside. It was still early in the morning no one would be up at this hour. You climbed on top of the hotels roof looking out onto your surroundings. Everything appeared to be so peaceful, but you knew it wouldn't last long soon the sun would rise. You continued to look in to the distance while thinking of what that man had said before. What that man said was plaguing at your thought what if he was right, after that nightmare you were a bit more inclined to believe his words. The fact that you couldn't hurt him was something that you couldn't explain either. If he really did have such control over you the longer you staid by Hao's side the more danger you would be bringing him.
You still weren't sure whether you were willing to follow Hao's ideals but you knew one thing you could never kill him. If you stayed with Hao any longer there was a possibility of you losing control. Even though you weren't aware of all the details you knew that your so called "father" wasn't completely lying to you. If it was true if you did lose control and your only purpose in life was to kill Hao, you couldn't stay there any longer the sooner you left the better.
I don't want to kill y…..I just can't, I have to leave before I….. I…just have..to….
"Star is that you.": Opacho
"Opacho you should be sleeping": Star
"Star what are you doing?": Opacho
"Leaving.": Star
"But Star you can't go": Opacho
"I'm sorry Opacho here take care of this for me……..good bye….": Star
You handed Opacho the stuffed cat that you had won at the festival earlier that day. You weren't sure how but Hao gave it back to you when you reached the hotel but you were glad he did. You turned toward the mountain slide and without another word you were gone. Leaving behind a very confused and sad little girl.
………Hao…………I…..….
As you walked away you could feel your heart being torn to pieces, you had to leave everyone you cared for. You had just found a place that you felt comfortable with, fond someone who cared about you, who would protect you from anything and anyone. But you couldn't really on that one person forever you knew sooner or later there would be something. Something would drive a wedge between you, you just didn't want that to be death. Even if you never saw him again it would be better knowing that he was alive, instead of knowing he had died by your own hands.
However it was already too late you could feel it with ever step. The sadness, anguish and the pain you were causing not to mention your own, but you knew that this was for the best, this was the only way you could protect him.
You finally made it far enough up the mountain were it would be difficult to follow. You were so wrapped up in your own thoughts you didn't notice the mysterious group behind you. By the time you did it was too late.
"Now…..grab her….."
"the tranquilizer"
"…l..e..t….g….o…": Star
"We got her sir, we're bringing her in now."
"Did you make sure no one saw you, we can't have anyone trying to find her."
"Don't worry sir, she was alone when we got her. Looked like she left Hao, she was so deep in thought she didn't even see us coming."
"She must of taken what we said seriously but don't worry my dear you'll see Hao again. But this time you won't be his allay you'll be his enemy. Get the equipment ready, we can't have her waking up before we make it back."
