Finally! God, people don't go have a heart attack now since I updated. Also, I own nothing. Nothing ya hear, NOTHING but Lakia and Cally.
Cally had to stay after school to serve a detention. So, Lakia decided to walk home instead of wait for her to get out. She was walking down Starlight Avenue, which is right on the way towards Maharet's shop. Somehow in the midst of rushing to find Cally after school and leaving right afterwardsshe forgot all her books in her locker. She was mad about that because of a geometry test was tomorrow.
A guy with short blond hair and seemed to be dressed in an old fashion greek style clothes. Has been watching Lakia for some time now. He was in the alleyway just a bt up the street from the way she was heading. Without realizing that she was being watched. She wasn't paying attention when someone grabbed her and dragged her into the alley. She noticed the guy and that he has a menicing grin on his face. "Lecta." He said in an ancient language Lakia didn't understand. She was frighten for what a very strange guy would do to her.
She awoke a few hours later. It was dark out and she was in the alleyway that she remebered seeing that guy in. A throbbing pain made her realized that something did happen to her. She stood up and had to straighten out her clothes. Once she did, she noticed that a cut was basically acrossed all of her stomache. It still bled as if it were still a fresh wound. She ripped some of her shirt and wrapped it around her.
She couldn't tell her mother what had happened for being so careless. The only thing that she could thing of was to go to the boarding house to see if she could join them. Which Cally would be terribly disappointed for joining a bunch of losers. She headed off towards the Brotherhood and hoping that she would make it there in one piece and not passing out from blood loss.
When she made it to the boarding house, she passed out on the steps. Luckly for her Lance was about to leave and noticed her. Anger risen inside of him but soon changed to remorse for her. He brought her inside and told the others what he thought had happened to her.
A few weeks later, Lakia is decked out in all black; black jeans, shirt, trench coat and combat boots. She is in the park walking around pick- pocketing people for money. She found out the other day about what had happened to her from a representative for a small local mutant mafia group. They had helped her out by getting rid of the guy but didn't help her more than that.
So, far she had half of the money to pay them back. She went and sat down on a park bench. Isaak had noticed Lakia from the start when he entered the park. He was just out wandering around town to see what all was here. Since she has changed so much in just a short time he didn't notice it was her. He went and sat down on the closest park bench to rest and happened to sit next to her.
Lakia put the money in her inside coat pocket. Isaak noticed but didn't ask what was up with all that money she had. He couldn't help but look at her. She caught him looking and raised a brow. "What the hell are you staring at?" She said with anger to her voice. He quickly looked away not knowing what to say. She got up and left to go try and find more money.
Once she left the park, Isaak couldn't help but get up and follow her. He kept his distance away from her but she sensed that someone was followeing her. She quicked her pace and ducked into an alleyway. Climbing up the fire escape to the roof and crouched down as so she wouldn't be seened. He followed and looked into the alley which he swore that she went into. He shrugged and left.
She peered over the edge of the building to make sure the person was gone. "Shit." She swore silently to herself as it was the guy from the park who was following her. She got up and decided to jump over to the next roof. She made sure that she wasn't going to be seen and ran quickly towards the other side and jumped. She reached out her arm to grab the ledge of the roof but missed calculated the jumping distance. She fell into the next alley bellow. Causing a commontion which made him turn and run back to see what had happened.
He saw her lying ontop of some cardboard boxes and some trash. "Are you alright?" He asked as he stepped forward to help her up. She didn't answer and got up without his help. She started to shove past him when all of a sudden her ankle gave way and she fell. He caught her and gave her a smile. "You can't go no where with an injury without getting help first." He said.
"It's nothing. Now let go." She said and shoved him away. She started to walk away again but fell against the side of the building. "At least let me give you a ride to your house." He said out of generousity. She sighed. "Fine."
He helped her to his truck which wasn't parked that far away. He opened the passenger door and helped her in. He ran around to the driver's side and started to drive off. "So, where do you live?" He asked. "That rundowned boarding house." She in formed him. He nodded and headed to the Brotherhood's boarding house. A few minutes later, he pulled in the gravel driveway and parked at the front of the house.
Lakia got out of the truck and started to head up the steps before her ankle gave way again. Isaak got out and rushed to go help her. He scooped her up into his arms despite her protest and walked up to the door. "It's never locked." Lakia in formed him. He kicked the door off its hindges and set her on the couch.
"You can go now. I'll be fine besides who knows one of the others could come back in any minute." SHe said. "Just let me get some ice for you then I'll go." He said starting to head for the kitchen. A silver blur came in and zipped around Isaak a couple of times before stopping to reviel Pietro. "What-are-you-doing-here-X-Man?"He demanded in a quick tone and crossed his arms over his chest. Isaak held his hand sup in defense. "She twisted her ankle so I gave her a ride here."
"Well now an X-Geek in our house. He must learn not to come into enemy territory." Lance said, walking through the door and into the living room. Once Isaak was distracted by Lance's appearance. Toad slimed him and Lance went over and started pounding him to a bloody pulp. Lakia got up and pryed Lance away. He just got free and punched Isaak in the stomache before Lakia punched him in the face. Her eyes changing to a blood red and then back to normal.
Isaak finally got the slime off his face. "What-is-your-problem-helping-him- out?" "Yeah Lakia, what is your problem?" Lance asked. Isaak finally remembered why she looked so familiar to him now. "Lance that is not my real name. Besides I just gave you a bloody nose if you haven't noticed." She said.
Lance cursed under his breathe as he went up stairs to take care of the bleeding. "Then what is your name, yo?" Toad asked. "Desdemona." She said. Isaak was confused now on what her name really is. Desdemona then went up stairs and came back down a few minutes later with Lance's keys. "I'm going out." She said and started to head out the door. Isaak followed quickly as his body healed from the blows he just recieved.
"You coming with? I wouldn't want to corrupt an X-man though." She said as she jumped into the driver's side of the jeep. "Doesn't matter." He said getting in on the passenger side. She then quickly took off before Lance noticed his key's were missing. "You really think your truck is safe back there?" He shrugged. "Not really. So, what is your real name? I've known you from school as Lakia but now you say it's Desdemona."
"It's Desdemona but if you know me then who are you?" She asked. "Are you serious? You really don't remember me from Bayville High?" She shook her head. "Oh...it's Isaak Mayson." He said, dissappointedly. As she drove them, she turned on the radio. Nothing much was said until she remembered that she was suppose to meet somebody.
"Hey I have to meet a few people. So, no matter what happens stay in the jeep." She informed him as she turned a corner and started for the abandoned warehouses down by the docks. Once there she parked in front of an old warehouse. A cloaked figure was waiting for her at the entrance. She got out and met up with him. They started to talk and Isaak was trying to listen in on the conversation.
"You got the money?" The cloaked guy asked. "Not all of it but I got half." She said. The guy nodded and lead her inside. Isaak didn't like feeling he was getting and headed up towards the side door they went in. He sneaked in and hid behind a few crates that was along the wall. Desdemona went up to which looked to Isaak, the boss of the group.
Desdemona walked up to the guy and pulled out the money she had gathered earlier. He took the money and counted it. "This is not enough and you knew when the deadline was." He said and back handed her. Isaak couldn't just sit there in hiding and watch this happen. He popped up and knocked a crate over as well. "Stop!"
The boss looked at Isaak with a scowl on his face. Three other cloaked figures along with the one he saw earlier looked at him. Desdemona looked at him and mouthed. "You idiot." "You dare interfere with a deal amongst the Mutant mafia? Get him!" The boss ordered and the guys went after him. Isaak dodged past a few before one of them used there power of ice to hold him in place. Another guy punched him in the face and it felt like air was razor blades against his skin.
Isaak bent down and melted the ice with his fire power. The ground started to shake when he got free. Desdemona tried to go help Isaak out but the boss grabbed her and dragged her out the back way. He move out of the way of the Wind mage's attack. The Fire mage struck Isaak from behind with a axe-handle. The Ice mage started to freeze Isaak to the ground but he just made his body heat rise to melt the ice off. He stood up and the Wind mage made the air go around him and lifted him up into the air. The Ice mage then freezes Isaak and the Wind mage lets him fall.
Isaak quickly melted the ice before he hit the ground. The Earth mage then shakes the ground; making the rafters shake and tremble. Isaak gets up and makes a mad dash towards the exit Desdemona and the guy went out. The Wind Mage goes to the middle of the room and makes a giant vortex. Sucking Isaak up before reaching his goal. Out of the shadows a black jaguar came out and jumped up at the Wind mage. Giving Isaak the time to go help Desdemona out.
While outside Desdemona was facing the boss on the roof top of the building. "You knew what the consiquence was if you didn't pay me back in full." He said to her. She spit at his feet. "You should have known I wouldn't go along with the whole deal making between the mob leaders."
Isaak went over to her. She held her arm out to stop him. "No, he's mine." She then raced towards the boss and swung at him. He caught her fist. "You arrogant fool of a woman."He started to crush her hand but she kicked him in the gut and backed away. She shook her hand to get the feeling back into it and tried again. But he ducked and did a leg sweep; she then flipped over him and kicked him in the back of the head. He stumbled forward before turning around, picking her up and throwing her into the side of the building where the stairs are located. Her eyes turned blood red and she stood up.
Isaak didn't know what to do now. Seeing as to what happened to Lance made him a little iffy to what she would do now. She charged at the boss and he moved out of the way, kicking her in the back of the head. She fell to the ground. When she got up she removed her trench coat and tossed it off to the side. The boss raised a brow. "I don't think that would help you any better in this fight." From the inside, they can hear the screams of the mages as something was killing them. Desdemona's anger was more higher than normal which she couldn't contain any longer. She then transformed into a mammoth size raven. Leaving both Isaak and the boss awe strucked.
She went up the boss and he started to attack her but the attacks weren't that harmful. After the kick to the head and being tossed again. She got up off of her back and one of her wings hit him. The boss yelled out in pain as the feathers were like razor blades to the touch. Isaak couldn't believe what he just saw. Feathers doing that just by touch was impossible. The boss backed away as Desdemona was approaching him. She cawed as he was trapping himself against a wall. She started to peak at him but he keeped moving. After one final try, she managed to get him into her beak. She clamped down ontop of his body, cutting it in half and killing him instantly.
Isaak couldn't believe what had happened. Desdemona turning into a giant bird and now killing a mafia leader. It was pure madness. She started back to were she had left her trench coat. He backed away some and she transformed back. Quickly picking up her trench coat and putting it on since her clothes didn't go with her when she transforms. The black jaguar came out of the shadows and walked up to Desdemona. Isaak seemed a little creeped out since there was a huge wild cat right there.
"Don't worry I won't harm you." The jaguar said telepathic to Isaak. Desdemona colaped on her knees and hled the jaguar for support as she was weak from the transformation. Isaak was about to bolt out of there but stayed anyways. "She is weak and needs to rest. By the way my names Ceres." The jaguar said. Isaak nodded and picked Desdemona up. They headed back to the jeep. Ceres already in the back as the night was perfect for shadows for her to move through.
Isaak sighed and headed back to the Brotherhood. Wondering what more trouble he could possibly get into with them now. Even though he was with a member right at the moment along with a talking cat.
God that was the longest chapter for this story. Hey at least you, people, know what her power is now and makes up for the lack of updates. Also, Lakia's real name is Desdemona which I'll explain later on how she remembers her name. "Lecta" in Latin means "The chosen one"
