A sisters memory......................................................CHAPTER 4

(( Now remember July is Melfina )): July: Yeah yeah same thing Lara: We do not own outlaw star so don't sue us........ July: ((( holds up a gun)) unless you want to make something of it



After gene calmed Melfina down enough that she was ready to hear the story Lara had told him, Melfina sat down and looked at her sister waiting for her to begin.

"Melfina your real name is July Starfire, our parents are John Starfire and Linda Starfire they both died saving me and you from a fire set by those damn pirates. Our mother was a summoner and our father was a guardian. That why we have magic powers. After mother and father died we were moved to sentinel 5 to live in a foster home. When we turned 13 we ran away from the home and snuck into a space ship that took us to blue heaven. When we were 17...............that when they took you....... Now I'm 21 years old and you didn't change not one bit from that day."

Lara sighed and looked at Melfina once again." the rest is hard to explain so here." Lara placed her hand over Melfina's eyes and she instantly went into a trance. Flash of what happen that night.

"Come on July! Were going to be late if you don't get out of bed now!"

Lara stomps into July's room and strips the blankets off her. Still didn't work. Lara leaned down to Julys ear, drew in a deep breath.

"JULY STARFIRE GET YOUR CUTE BUTT OUT OF BED NOW!!!!!"

July's eye popped open and screamed.

"AAAAHH WHAT THE HELL LARA!?" Lara stood up laughing. July put a pillow over her head and sighed. "Rise and shine sleepy head we got work to do."

July growled. "I'll rise but I wont shine...............what time is it?"

Lara grinned. " 9:00 p.m.''

July jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom.



Later on down stairs..........

"So hey kid what time did you get in last night or should I say this morning?"

July grinned and looked at Lara.

" Oh I think about 5 in the morning."

Lara shook her head and smiled.

"Now if you want to keep that up you're going to be one of those batty old women down the street."

July shuttered and picked up her backpack. She stepped out of the bathroom in a black sleeveless body suit, with a belt that hugged onto her hips perfectly; she tightened the black leather gloves and slipped on her backpack.

"Soooooo." July singed in a funny tune. "Were are we going to do and what time?"

July grinned looking at her sister. Lara was dressed in a pair of black leather pants and a ruby red shirt that was in a very thin fabric. She was sitting at the kitchen table typing on her laptop. "Out." She said hesitantly. "Out? Out is good........ Just one problem."

Lara looked up at her pulling a few strands of her hair back.

" What? "

July came around the other side and leaned down to lara's eye level. See my darling sister (giving her and innocent look) Lara raised an eyebrow and sighed.

"What in gods green earth did you do this time?!"

July stood back up and smirked looking at her sister.

" Remember that guy from last week that wouldn't let us leave?"

Lara's mouth dropped as she looked at her July.

" I know you didn't......................July.....................WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT!!?? YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO GET A BOYFRIEND IF YOU DO THAT!"

July burst out laughing and held her sides.

"It........ it was a love tap I swear."

She couldn't go on with all the laughing. "

Yeah? And how many bones did you break?"

Lara said standing up grabbing her laptop. July walked to the door and out putting her hands behind her head.

" Oh a few ribs twisted arm."

Lara sighed." Okay okay you Amazon."

July stood tall and looked at her sister.

"Now I may not so fast to give it up like you.........and besides." Leans on the doorway.

"I'm waiting for someone.........someone different from the other guys here." Lara looked back at her and tilted her head to one side.

" July......what makes you think that this guy you dreamed of is real?"

" Because! I know its real I know. I don't need a reason to pick a guy I'm just waiting for the right one."

Lara shock her head and to the door. "Well we can't go back to that one place......................lets go to temptation."

July moaned.

"Why there!?" Lara turns around and gave July a dirty look.

"Look you....... you don't have to go I can go by myself."

July dropped her arms to her side and smirked.

"Fine! I'll go! You win!"

Lara walked forwards wavering her hand for a taxi. "I always win."

July rolled her eyes.

"Yeah yeah sis whatever you say."

At the club.............

July sat at the bar running her finger tip over the rim of the glass, rolling her eyes at her sister flirting with two other guys. She propped her elbow up on the bar resting her chin in her hand. She kept staring on endlessly into her drink until she felt fingertips run up her back and the feeling of heavy breathing on her neck. She gave a disgusted look smelling liquor in the breath and jerked away. The guy grabbed her and turned her around attempting to kiss her. Julys eyes flashes and she kneed up into the guys gut making him fall forwards. She stepped to one side and picked up her backpack. Round one done Lara I'm gone. Lara was to busy flirting to realize July walking out.

July walked down the empty street quietly staring up at the night sky. She hummed a soft tune and walked up to the railing over looking the ocean. She leaned on the raining looking out at the calm water. She repeated the words that her sister told her

"You're never going to get a boyfriend if you do that"

She shut her eyes and growled.

"What do I care...............I'm never going to find anyone here.............never................"

She trailed off with a bit of a sob. She pushed herself back and walked back to the club.

""Maybe lara's right I should give someone a chance........"

July looked up to see a guy standing in the middle of the sidewalk, she raised her eyebrow and kept walking. She tried to walk past the guy but he kept stepping in her way. Finally getting annoyed burst out in his face," WHAT ARE YOU DOING LET ME BY!" The guy laughed looking at her and shook his head.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr."

July stepped back and looked at this guy. He wasn't too tall about her height with white hair and small glasses; he was wearing a lab coat.

"Well hello there my dear would you happen to be July Starfire??"

July tilted her head to one side and crossed her arms.

"One and only what ya want old man?"

The guy looked at her and stood up tall.

"Why that's no way to respect your elders, my name is Gwen Kahn yes Gwen Kahn is what you can call me."

July gave Kahn a weird look.

"Ok? Ummm I'm just going to go past you now."

July side stepped to the left and walked around Kahn that was to busy saying his name and looking forwards like she was there. July looked back at him ( anime tear drop )

"oooohhhhhh k?"

This guy makes no since. She turned around and walked back into the club.



July stepped into the club and everyone was gone. She snapped around the room Looking in different spots of the room.

"Lara!!"

July started to walk to the bar as something zipped past her from behind. She stopped and held her hands by her sides looking around slowly. Before she could move a kie pirate tackled her to the ground. She looked up as the thing raised one of its blades up, she clutched her eyes shut and screamed. Just then Lara jumped out from behind the bar shooting the pirate right in the head sending it flying off July. Lara stumbled to the left holding her bloody arm and screamed at July.

" JULY GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!"

July jumped to her feet and ran out of the bar as fast as she could.

"What the hell is going on how did they find us!?" She picked up pace hearing five gunshots behind her and, she slide to a stop and ran into an alley. As soon as she turned the corner July hit something hard and was grabbed.

"AAAAAAHHHHH LET ME GO!!" She lifted her hand and shot off an energy ball into hazankos face. This only made him tighten his grip around her neck. She gasped for air seeing everything around her spin. Finally he loosed his grip and through her, she fell to the ground smacking her head hard off the pavement. She had all of her energy drained.

"JULY!!!" Lara screamed her name from a far off then it grew silent after three gunshots and her screaming. July tried to raise up to her feet but hazanko placed his foot on her back and slammed her back to the ground making July spit up her own blood. She lay there on the ground as more people stepped around her; she could barely see straight and was in pain all over.

"It is done let's go."

Said a low town voice sounding much like a computer talking. She was hauled up on the back of a pirate and she hung there. As they started to walk she could see Lara lying in the street with blood all around her. She stared at her weakly but in shock as she screamed out lara's name. Hazanko only laughed along with the other pirates. July's eyes flashed a dark black as she kneed the pirate that was carrying her in the chest; as soon as he dropped her she rushed at hazanko and punched out. He moved and grabbed her arm lifting her up into the air and punched her seven times in the stomach each time July cried out in pain, she lifted her head as a few tears rolled down her face finally gave in and pasted out.

Later on..................

July weakly opened her eyes and looked around. Her eyes opened wider seeing all blue around her with people looking at her from outside a tank. She tried to move but couldn't an inch. July looked down at her arms and glared at wires that had been put in her arms. She tilted her head back and closed her eyes thinking

'' What the hell am I going to do now?''

From out side the tank she could hear the sound of an old man laughing. She looked at the guy and raised an eye brow

" It that guy from before Gwen Kahn?"

"Why thank you for taking the time to remember my name, thank you very much."

July jumped and looked at him oddly

" You can hear me thinking??"

"Why yes I can miss Starfire yes in deed, now tell me were do you get your power from yes its something I've been wanting to know."

" Bite me Kahn I well never tell you anything!"

Gwen Kahn snorted and stepped back crossing his arms.

"Well that wasn't very nice, no, not at all."

A taller man wearing a mask stepped up behind Gwen Kahn and toward over him.

" Get this job done we don't have all day once when she get rested up she well try to escape!"

" Yes lord hazanko."

Gwen Kahn turned his back and started typing on a computer. Hazanko walked up to the tank and looked at July closely laughing.

"We have to change her name other wise the police will track her down.....................give her the name Melfina."

Gwen Kahn nodded and typed the name up along with other information

" I wont let you get away with this hazanko, mark my words I'll hunt you down to the day I die! Count on it you son of a........." July's eyes went blank as everything that happen in her life flashed before her eyes and everything went blank. Everything around her went dark, but she could still see everything around her but couldn't hear. They laid July out on a cart and wheeled her down a hall. All she could do is stare up at the night sky taking in her last sight of the stars. They picked her up and laid her in a case, as a little girl with purple hair dilled a number into a small panel, " this is it........ I'm sorry Lara..." The girl closed the case and everything around her went dark as she slowly closed her eyes and feel into a deep sleep.

Melfina was snapped back by her own scream followed by tears and sobbing, Lara fell forwards and hugged onto her sister.

"Its ok Mel its ok."

Lara looked up at gene and let Melfina go. Gene kneeled down next to Melfina and puts his arms around her as she held him back.

"Gene......please tell me we got hazanko............tell me he did die." Gene looked down at her.

" Yeah we both got him.............he's never going to hurt you again." He hugged her tighter and she returned the hug.

(((Takes a deep breath))) woah! Well that's it for chapter 4. Chapter 5 well be the last. So read up on it and tell me how this one was please.

Gene: (( comes up behind Mel and hugs her ))
