Chapter 9: Firebreather

I stood there and howled. The marines didn't even flinch where my claws and fangs pushed. Their skin was like butter. So soft and easy to cut. Blood spilled on me and my hair was crimson.

I was fuming and mad. Smoke came out of my nose and I howled again,this time, allowing the fire to escape my lips.

˝C-C-C-C-Chimera!˝ - Killer drunkenly blabbered and I turned to him, bloody and red gazed.

˝You have a problem with that Killer?˝ - I growled.

I knew I didn't look like the average mythical Chimera. I wasn't a pure blood. My father is a human so I couldn't transform completely but even this was enough to make me strong.

˝Now I know how you make weapons. Could you calm down? We need to talk. Killer get out. Now.˝ - Kid said, barking the last bit.

I snorted and went back to the showers, I'm bloody after all.

˝I have to shower˝

˝I'll wait outside˝ - he went to the door and shut it. So the questioning come later huh? So much water today my skin will burst from so much hydratisation! I laughed and caught my face in the mirror. I was covered in blood, my eyes bloodshot and the irises red as the blood around my cheeks and nose. My fangs were still here and felt so normal, maybe I should let them out? They don't bother me and I'm not intimate with anybody. Sadly. His face came to my mind, again. I sighed and turned the water on.

**Kid's POV**

So that's what she is. Why didn't she transform in a lion with a snake tail? Hmmm maybe she can control it? That blood lust. She was absolutely beautiful, ruthless and bloody. Good thing I made her join my crew already. She can be a good asset to me now.

Asset or more? You have been avoiding her...

I'm starting to hate this voice in my head. Growling I made it to the pools. Good, the crew is done with the battle. ˝Take valuables and go to the ship. Get ready to set sail!˝ - I barked

Let's see If my chimera is ready..

**Shiva's POV**

I just finished dressing myself and heard a soft knock on the door. It couldn't be Kid, that gentle.

˝Come in˝ - and there he was. In all his glory watching me with a tense gaze. ˝Yes?˝

˝You calmed down a bit?˝ - I laughed, was he seriously interested in that.

˝Maybe. Shoot, I know you have questions for me˝ - better get this over with.

He grinned ˝Okay, only a few. Why didn't you transform completely? You still haven't told me what you need to do in the New World˝

I looked at him surprised, that's what he wanted to know!?

˝It's complicated and a long story˝

˝We have time Shiva˝ - I shuddered as he said my name. He never did that. His golden eyes still stared at me. Damnit, I still missed this fucker.

˝Take a seat˝ - He didn't like to be ordered around but obliged nevertheless.

˝My father is Silvers Rayleigh as you know and my mother..is the Queen Fotia..˝ - now it was his turn to look surprised and I held back a laugh (a/n : φωτιά - fo̱tiá – fire greek)

˝The Chimera society doesn't look good on haflings. To top it off I'm a bastard child. My mother had 3 other children with the Chimera King, Vronti, (a/N: βροντή – thunder) and he let her have me. I was born and lived for the first 5 years of my life in the castle as a princess but closed away. No one except my brothers and parents knew about me.˝ - I smiled at the memory ˝One day I found letters, my father's letters to my mother and me. I learned his name and his wish to meet me. Mother was furious. It was years later I realized why. You see I should have been cased away but the royal family protected me. Until my curiosity got the best of me. I would sneak out and watch the people, steal fruits if I was hungry of play pranks on them. But the worst was, I didn't look like them. I was a pale human girl with blonde hair and red eyes. Fangs and claws. But not the whole body of a Chimera. I'll never be. Because of my human blood I can't transform. But I don't mind, I like myself this way more. The human's on the other side of our island never liked me either. The despised me, called me a monster. And so one day I left. I took my small bag and snuck on a ship. I didn't want to live closed away now that I knew so much was out there. All the books I read, all the things I wanted to see. So close yet so far. I was five when I left my home.˝

Tears were now in my eyes. No one knew. I never told anyone my story.

˝It had been years since I was running from home, exploring and learning about the world. Weapons exited me and I used every opportunity to learn form a weapon smith or master. Little did I know, every island I visited, every time I showed myself and my fire the more my family, yes I considered them my family, got more and more prosecuted. Chimeras were hidden and secured in our kingdom. And my little escapade ruined everything. Thousands died because of me and my selfishness.

One day a letter came demanding my presence on my 21st birth day at the Huo Island. (a/n: Huo – Fire,chinese). Drops of my blood and my total cutting ties with everything and everyone in that world. Final ejection. My life for theirs. I have matured and trained so I could endure the torture I'm sure they will bring on me but at least I will be able to save them from more failure and misery˝ - I finished tears now freely flowing on my face. It felt so liberating. Finally to tell everything that has been burdening me since I was a child.

I lifted my eyes and saw him sitting there with a frown.

˝Now that you know my story Captain Kid, what do you want to do with me?˝ - I challenged him with my eyes

˝Take your stuff...

OOOOOO I cut it off in the middle of his sentence!

Do you want to know what he said?! READ AND REVIEW BWAHAHAHAH
