Chapter 21 - Happy Late Mother's Day
'Lila. You really disappoint me.' I look up to see experiment man. He has a needle and gloves on.
'Yooouuu ggoooonnnnnnaaaaaaa uuuurtttt mwah agaaaainnnnn? HAHAHA!!" I'm drugged up. The man sticks the needle in me and injects more of the drug.
'Let's play a game Lila.'
'OOOOSS KAAYYYY!!'
'What color is the grass?'
'BLUEEEE!!'
'What's the color of the sky?'
'GREEEEN!'
'What is your favorite color?'
'CLEAR!!' The lab man was getting tired. I wasn't giving in to the drug just yet. Lab man gets up and walks out of my cell, locking the door. I was not trusted now. I had killed about 5 of the best scientists here. I had my arms in chains and legs hooked to the floor. I was smiling and laughing like a maniac.
'YOU'LL NEVER KEEP MWAH HERE FOREVUR!!' I started thrashing like crazy. I guard came in with a shaggy brown dog. It was still a puppy. I look at it, and then the man threw it at the wall.
'It's a birthday present…..from outside the lab.' His voice was full of censer and he walked over to me. He unhooked my hands. His hand caressed my face. I pulled away. He sighed and left me. I glare at the door.
'Come here puppy.' I cooed. It slowly came over to me. Its' tail was in between its legs.
'I won't hurt you.' I lifted it up to my face. I kissed its nose and it wagged its tail a little.
I open my eyes. The nightmares had started coming back. I look behind me to see David sound asleep. I shifted to get up. I look at the clock. The time was 4:00 am. I yawned and picked up the still sleeping Ed. He looked different though. I shrugged it off and headed to the restroom. I went to the restroom. While I was washing my hands, I had looked at Ed and he was taller. His face didn't look like a three year old. He looked like a six year old.
"The transmutation must be wearing off. Nothing is ever perfect." I mumbled. Picking up Ed, I headed back to the bedroom. I brought Ed, because I thought he would be awake and have to go too. I lay in front of David and placed Ed in front of me. I stroked his head. I gave him a peck on the top of his head and laid back down. I remember closing my eyes and that was all.
"Lila, wake up."
"Noooooo… Lemme sleep!"
"Come on, wake up. It's 12:00!"
"BITE ME!"
"Fine!" I felt something bite my arm and I shot up. I glare at David.
"Like old times!!"
"I WANTED TO SLEEP!!"
"Well how can you sleep when it's mother's day?"
"Mother's Day was on my birthday stupid." (A/N I had no clue when mother's day was until I looked it up. Lucky guess I think.)
"Yes, but I wasn't there so…. HAPPY LATE MOTHER'S DAY!!"
"Whatever." I lay back down and close my eyes. I felt a body jump on me. I look up to see Ed smiling.
"WAKE UP LILA!!" 'Yep, his body had grown. Maybe he will have his old body back in a little bit.'
"The kid has gone through a growths spurt."
"It's not a growth spurt David. Let me tell you something. You have to promise me not to tell anyone."
"I promise my life."
"Well……Ed used to be 15, but a transmutation had changed him to a three year old. I bet it is wearing off now."
"Really…..So is he your new boyfriend."
"No David. I don't want anyone. I rather be single the rest of my life."
"OH COME ON LILA!! I can understand the…….thing from last night, BUT you can still have a boyfriend!! WHY WON'T YOU-"
"BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST BOYS OR MEN ANYMORE!! I'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
"BUT LILA!! I'M NOT THEM!! I'M DIFFERENT!!"
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!!" I flop back on the bed and yank Ed by me. He squeaks and cuddles close to me. I pull the pillow over my head.
"YOU TRUST THE KID!! HE'S A BOY!!"
"HE'S KNOWS WHEN TO QUIT!! HE ALREADY HAS SOMEONE THOUGH!! I DON'T CARE!!" My words were muffled by the pillow.
"HE'S STILL 15 AT HEART!!"
"YES! BUT I HAVE DIFFERENT FEELINGS FOR HIM!!"
"OH! SO YOU DO LOVE HIM!! I KNEW YOU DID HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!"
"I LOVE HIM LIKE A SON!! NOTHING MORE!! I….I….He's like a son to me….I can't let him die or get hurt."
"FINE! I see what you're saying. I shall leave you to your mother duties. Good bye. I'm leaving. This is why I was too afraid to ask you when we were little." I hear David leave through the front door. Ed was tense from when I said that he was like a son to me. It was true though. I ALWAYS tell the truth. Greatest downfall.
"Ed……Don't ever tell me to stop thinking you as a son. It's…It's….It's true that…..I want…..my own…….but….." I couldn't finish my sentence. I pulled Ed closer to me and cried in his hair. I was used to being yelled at, but not by my friends.
"Lila….why do you think of me like a son?"
"Because, I want to. Ever since…..an accident, I have always felt so much guilt. I can't stand it. Why doesn't anyone understand that I can't carry the entire burden? Is it ok if I still can think of you as a son, till you get tired of it."
"If it makes you stop crying, then yes."
"Thanks." I hug him and kiss his head. I pull his face to mine under the pillow. His eyes were full of worry.
"Ed, I don't want anything to happen to you. I would give my heart, body, soul, or all three if it meant to keep you from dying." I felt tears stream down my eyes. Ed wiped them off. I smiled and kissed his forehead. I wouldn't tell him that I knew his secret till he was back to normal.
"Happy late Mother's Day Lila." I pulled away from him and smiled. I get out of bed. I lift Ed up and head to the kitchen.
"I see that David was to lazy to make you breakfast."
"Yeah. Eats and goes."
"Well that's what he does. He gets what he needs and leaves so the people he stays with doesn't get in trouble to."
"What does he do?"
"Well he robs stores, he hijacks, and he makes gangs. He is a bad person, but he has his great times. He can be someone that will help the needy. Like his father."
"He is a bad person to the public." I laugh and put him a chair.
"HE may be bad to the public, BUT HE does help out the needy. OH! Ed, you sure do look SO MUCH BIGGER!"
"You're calling me short, aren't you."
"MAYBEE!" Ed was frowning and I was laughing.
"I'm kidding! HAHAHA! You just make me so happy!" Ed crosses his arms. I laugh harder till I was on the floor. He started laughing to. I made pancakes and sausages. Ed had orange juice, while I had chocolate milk.
"MAN! I HATE MILK!! I WONDER WHY I LIKE THIS CHOCOLATE MILK!!" Ed looked at it curiously.
"Want some Ed."
"EWW!"
"Just take one insy, ittty, , bitty sip. Please?" He inched forward. I gave him the glass and he tipped it.
"Well, what do you think?" He handed me back the glass and it was about three fourths full. I look at Ed and he has a chocolate moustache.
"It don't taste like milk."
"See, that's what I mean. The chocolate gets rid of the nasty taste."
"Oh….Gimme." Ed reached for more of the chocolate milk.
"Get your own."
"Please…." Ed gave me the puppy eyes. I took a sip of the 'now' good milk. I pass the rest to him. He took little sips till he spat out some.
"What's wrong?"
"Taste nasty again." He showed the glass to me. The chocolate mix had settled to the bottom. I grab a spoon and swirl it up. I hand Ed the glass back. He chugs the rest down.
"Better than the regular nasty stuff?"
"Yeah." I smile and clean up the table. I hear Ed get up and walk to the restroom. I finished the dishes when I heard Ed run back in. He was crying.
"What's wrong Ed?" Ed ran up and jumped into my arms when I squatted down. He held my neck tight and was crying in my shoulder.
"Ssh…Relax. It's ok Edward. Ssh. Tell me what's wrong." I was rocking him back and forth. His crying became sniffs. I pulled away from him and wiped his face. His eyes were a puffy red color. Not to red or to white for crying.
"Ed, tell me what happened." He nodded and went back into a hug.
"T-THERE WAS A-A M-M-MAN AND H-H-HE T-TRIED TO GET IN T-TH-THROUGH THE BATHROOM W-WI-WINDOW!!" There was a knock on the door then. I get up and pick Ed up to. I cautiously walked to the door. I open the door and there is a man with two girls behind him.
"AAAHHH! IT'S THAT MAN!!" Ed screamed into my shirt. I glare at the man before rubbing Ed's back.
"DAD!! YOU WERE SPYING AGAIN!!" I saw one of the girls with black hair with red tips like mine and have tannish skin.
"Relax sis. I'm sure he's not bisexual." The other girl had the same voice. She had hair purple with orange tips. She had paler skin.
"Girls, I was not 'spying', I was seeing if anyone was home, and it just so happened to be the window where the boy was doing his business." The man with brown hair shrugged. I glare at him again.
"It's called a front door sir. What do you want and why were you spying on my son?!"
"It wasn't spying and I just wanted to welcome you to Risembool."
"Well, we don't need welcomes or welcome back. I've lived here before when I was little, so just leave us alone, or try and use the front door AND knock next time."
"I'm sorry about that. I'm William and these are my daughters, Apolla and Artemis. Apolla is the one in the blue shirt and yellow jeans with the purple hair and orange tips. Artemis is the one in the yellow shirt and blue jeans with the black hair and red tips. It's not their real hair color. Apolla had changed her hair color and Artemis put red tips on hers. They used to have black hair. Both are twins, but since they wan to be different, they decided to switch styles. The only thing that are the same is their eye color." I look at their eyes and they are an orange yellow color.
William then looked at Ed. I look down to see Ed peeking one eye out.
"So what did you see while my son was in the restroom."
"YOUR SON!!" All three had yelled. "BUT HE LOOKS SIX YEARS OLD!!"
"(sigh) Yes he is six, but I am sixteen. I don't see a problem in that."
Artemis grinned and spoke up.
"What, did you get raped or something like that."
"Shut up Artemis. You shouldn't butt in with people's stuff." Apolla was saying this with no emotion.
"No way sis. She seems interesting."
"Leave her alone."
"Nope."
"I said leave her alone." Apolla now had anger in her voice.
"I CAN do whatever I like!" Artemis skipped over to me and started poking my forehead.
"I'm going home kids. Do whatever you want, JUST don't kill the girl." William walked off. 'SOME PARENT!!'
"I SAID LEAVE HER ALONE!!"
"NO!! MAKE ME APOLLA!!"
"YOU NEED TO LEARN SELF-RESPECT!!"
"YOU NEED TO LEARN TO GET OUT IN THE SUN!!"
"WHAT!! AT LEAST I DON'T COOK MYSELF IN THE SUN!!"
"AT LEAST I'M NOT GOTH!!"
"WHAT'S THAT, YOU PREP!!"
"COME ON YOU TRAMP!!"
"GO DROWN YOURSELF!!"
"GO KILL YOURSELF!!"
"GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF!"
"I'M NOT SUICIDAL!!"
"I'M NOT EMO!!"
"GO DIE LIKE MOM!!" Apolla stiffened, and then she looked at the ground.
"You know why mom died Artemis."
"I'm sorry that I said that."
"YOU KNOW WHY DHE DIED!!" This was getting interesting. I sat down with Ed in my lap.
"YES I KNOW!! STOP GIVING ME GUILT!!" Both of the sisters were crying now. Apolla clapped her hands and pointed them to Artemis. Artemis suddenly fell down.
"DON'T NUMB MY LEGS APOLLA!! I SAID I WAS SORRY!!"
"SORRY ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH!!" I bent down to Ed's ear.
"I bet Apolla wins."
"Same here." We whispered so the two couldn't hear.
