Chapter 12 is finally up and done! I hope you guys enjoy the slight preview of what Kallen's geass is.

Chapter 12

Kallen

Lady Stadtfeld looked at Kallen with disgust in her eyes as she has to play the mother figure of the half-blooded child and was unhappy for it.

"Kallen, I'm teaching the help a lesson and will move on to your punishment later if you don't back away right this instant,' Lady Stadtfeld stated in her usual cold, yet snobbish voice as if she owned the world.

"Feel the pain of my mother and the blood that has been shed by your people," Kallen yelled in anger, not knowing that her geass of Illusion set into the mindset of Kallen's stepmother, who suddenly collapsed to the ground and screamed in pain and horror as if a nightmare has plagued her.

Kallen's geass disappeared as her eyes closed and she slumped against her mother, who held her close in worry.

"Kallen...My sweet Kallen," Ms. Kozuki slowly tried her best to drag her daughter to her bedroom and get her dressed for bed before tucking her into her bed.

Kallen's body relaxed as she slept, not knowing her geass awakened when her mother had been beaten again.

In the living room of the Stadtfeld Manor was Lady Stadtfeld, who was crying and shaking from the horror she was forced to look at in her own mind. She struggled to get up and head to her bedroom and quickly stripped out of her clothes as she went to sleep.

Nightmares were still plaguing her as she slept as she felt and saw the pain of her husband's lover in her mind over and over as if she can't shut it down.

Lamperouge Residence

After a dinner prepared by Sayako and Lelouch and eaten by those in the household, the Lamperouge siblings, Lelouch's new daughter Elizabeth had gone to bed as well as Sayako.

C.C. was in Lelouch's room, watching as the boy slept before looking outside to stare at the night sky.

"Her geass has finally awakened has it?" C.C. mumbled to herself before she went over to sleep next to Lelouch, who had his back turned towards her on his bed.

'I wonder what the Black Queen will do for her Black King,' C.C. thought before she finally fell into a dreamless sleep.

The Next Day- Ashford Academy

Once Lelouch had gotten up and ready for the day, helping Elizabeth and Nunnally get ready for the school day, he had headed off to drop Elizabeth off at the Elementary part of the Academy,

Before he left, he handed her a cell phone, her school bag, and a few other things in order to make sure she was set for her new class.

"Elizabeth, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me," Lelouch said softly, knowing his adopted child will understand the other message behind what he told her.

"Of course, I'll make the Lamperouge family proud," Elizabeth said with a smile as she headed off to her class with other younger Britannian students.

As he watched her head to her class, Lelouch couldn't help wondering if she will really be okay because it was easy to tell she was an "Eleven" but hoped that her being an honorary member of the Student Council may help her out just a bit.

'Let's hope nothing happens to her,' Lelouch thought as he headed off to pick up Kallen from her home.

Stadtfeld Manor

Kallen opened her eyes and looked around in confusion as she noticed that she was in her room before she looked to her side to see her mom was asleep next to her.

She smiled softly before she quickly got up, showered and got dressed for her school day.

As Kallen went to the kitchen to make her some toast, she saw that not only was her stepmother sitting at the dining room table but so was her own father, who she hadn't seen since he tried to avoid his new wife as possible.

"Hello Father," Kallen greeted.

"Hello my dear Kallen," Lord Stadtfeld said with a soft smile as he looked at his daughter before he gestured her over for a hug, which she had given him.

"Did you sleep well, Mother?" Kallen asked her stepmother, keeping the dislike from reaching her voice.

"I slept alright," Lady Stadtfeld lied through her teeth as she can still feel the nightmares eating away at her.

"I'll be going now, Father. Lelouch should be here to come to pick me up," Kallen said before she kissed her father farewell on his cheek and ate her toast as she ran towards the front door.

As Lelouch reached Kallen's home, Kallen opened the door and walked out with a smile.

"Ready to go?" Lelouch asked as he offered his arm to her as a proper gentleman.

"Yeah, let's go," Kallen stated, holding onto her bag as she looped her arm with Lelouch and left with him to school.

Ashford Academy

When Lelouch and Kallen had made it back to the school, they went towards the Student Council Office for the morning meeting.

As they walked in, they saw that Nina was in her corner, as usual, tinkering with her own types of projects.

Lelouch sighed and walked over to Nina, who looked up at him before stiffening.

"Nina, are you still hurt?" Lelouch asked.

"N-No but I wanted to let you know that...you're right. I shouldn't judge others because of their countrymen or for the fact that Britannia makes the Japanese people be terrible people," Nina stated softly as she looked down, slowly relaxing her body.

Lelouch smiled softly before he pulled Nina into a gentle hug.

"Nina, the Japanese just want to be treated as human beings just as any person should want to be and it's not fair that Britannia causes these people of all nations to be treated as if they aren't worth life or respect," Lelouch stated as his fist clenched into an angry fist as he pulled out of his hug with Nina.

Nina watched the anger flash in Lelouch's purple eyes before Kallen came over and wrapped her arms around him.

"You're right, and I hope that one day I know help show what you've shown me," Nina stated with a soft smile.

Kallen and Lelouch looked at one another and couldn't help thinking that perhaps the Black Knights could have Nina as a fellow member for their views of justice and equality.
