Okay since I usually tell you the chapter name before the actual chapter I am sorry. Now I will say the chapter name. Onward to the next chapter.

Chapter 18: Man in black

Kristina ran as fast as she could, running past all the buildings in her neighborhood. Tears were streaming down her face rapidly like rain falling from the sky. Her heart was pumping fast while she ran and it was full of pain. She kept running towards her house crying very hard as she neared the building of her own. It was the building where her Mother once lived. She looked back and in the distance she saw a figure approaching, it couldn't be Opal, she wasn't that tall yet. It was a tall slim man that had a black cloak over its body. Kristina wiped her eyes then ran into a dark alley that light didn't show. She kept running then bumped into someone that was in front of her. She stumbled and fell onto the ground. She squirmed on the ground then got up pushing the person away.

"Get away from me!" She got passed the person then the fairy spoke.

"It's me." Kristina knew that voice. It was certainly not a female voice; it was a male voice that made her turn around to see who it was. Kristina saw the face and instantly went into tears. She ran to the person. This person was her Father, his arms were open and Kristina ran into his embrace. Tears were hitting his suit that he was wearing. Kristina so felt heart broken. She saw her own Mother dead, she had a fight with Opal. Karma was catching up to Kristina and she certainly didn't like any of it. The next thing she knew, her Father will die. Kristina's eyes were red and puffy.

"M-Mother's d-d-dead" Her voice was shaky and her Father nodded slowly. Tears kept on running from her eyes and some landed on the ground. Her Father wiped her tears and looked into Kristina's eyes.

"I know, I heard. I am so sorry Kristina; I wish you didn't have to see that." Kristina felt like she was 11 again crying to her parents.

Kristina was actually close to her own Mother, but all Opal thought was getting her revenge upon the people who hurt her in the past...What did her own Mother do to her? Nothing. Kristina thought and started to dry harder. Stephanie didn't do anything to her own daughter, nothing. Her Father stroked her black hair repeatedly. Kristina looked up to her own Father's eyes.

"Why would they murder her?" Her Father looked down at the ground, not wanting to answer, yet he did.

"The L.E.P is determining if it was a murder or a suicide, I am afraid that I do not know any information about your Mother's death." Her Father sighed and kept stroking Kristina's hair.

"Opal…." Kristina murmured and her Father looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"What?" He asked and Kristina shook her head.

"Nothing to your concern Father" Kristina got out of her Father's embrace and looked at him.

"Thank you." Kristina said and turned around to walk into the house, when her Father grabbed her shoulder gently.

"No problem" Her Father smiled.

"You're a changed man, nothing like you were a decade ago" Her Father didn't say a word, he thought back to the times of when all of his kids were alive. He sighed.

"Yeah, I stopped doing the bad things I have done and focused on making my company better, I am just hoping that Opal doesn't ruin that for me." Kristina smiled.

"Hahaha! Yeah, Opal's really smart, but she won't get away with- uh…. Things" Kristina nodded and walked towards her own home and looked at her Father, he started to walk on the road.

Kristina went into Opal's study and looked around for things that might help her with her mission. She looked around her desk, only to find blueprints of inventions that she might make. She looked around more then she spotted a picture of herself and Opal smiling and hugging at each other. Looked like Opal was 10 years old and Kristina was 8 years old. A tear escaped her eye lid then went rolling down Kristina's face and landed on a piece of paper that was under her nose. Kristina flipped the picture so she wouldn't see it then she looked down at the paper that her tear was spreading on. She picked it up and read it.

Side note: Not going to do exactly that is in my fiction book, since someone might find it and stop me. I am intelligent enough to do so and I have plans that go down the alphabet.

Other side note: I am not sure if I should trust Kristina anymore, she might, I don't know….betray me! I highly doubt that would happen though.

Last side note: Going to kill Father after I overthrow him, then I am going to Kill Kristina (she knows too much) I will become the queen of the world someday.

Kristina already had her fiction book, but these side notes would help her know what to do with the fiction book. She quickly called a phone number that the acting commander gave her before. Someone picked up after the second ring.

"Hello?" The fairy asked and Kristina knew that voice, it was the person she needed to speak with.

"This is Kristina Koboi" The person on the other line cleared his voice.

"Well, Kristina, it took you two years to call me back." He grumbled and Kristina rolled her eyes, she was quite annoyed by the acting commander.

"Just to clear things up for you, my Mother's death was a murder and not a suicide"

"I know, but the officers are saying it was a suicide, no evidence was shown that it was a murder."

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID TWO YEARS AGO?! I SAID THAT OPAL WAS GOING TO KILL MY MOTHER!" She screamed into the phone.

"You are expecting me to remember a conversation two years ago?" He questioned and Kristina was furious.

"YES!"

"Okay….when will she make the next move?" He asked while making some clicking sound on the other line. Kristina looked at a copy of the story she had and flipped through the pages.

"In two years, on Father's day and you know exactly who is going to be…" Kristina thought to her Father-Daughter moment and felt her heart sink.

"Your Father…" He caught on and Kristina finally thought it was success.

"Exactly"

"Well Ms. Koboi, please come to the building, we shall discuss the plan of attack" Kristina remembered back to her fight and quickly said on the phone before he hung up.

"One little thing that you should know about me and Opal." She said and the acting commander had to ask.

"Now what is that?"

"She doesn't trust me anymore, we had a fight" Kristina continued and the acting commander thought for a brief second then went back to Kristina.

"Well this is going to be harder than I thought." He said and Kristina nodded.

"I know" Kristina hung up the phone and grabbed as much information as she could. She looked out the window for a second then did a double take. There was that tall slim man with the cloak again looking into the window that Kristina was look through. It was creepy having a stalker, especially when they look very dark and evil. Kristina ignored it then went back to the goal she was trying to accomplish. She grabbed her jacket then went outside. Kristina locked the door then started walking the way to the L.E.P building. The lights on the streets were gleaming bright, lighting the way of the young pixie. She kept to the lights since she knew that there was a shadow following her. She was nearly to the centre of Haven, where the L.E.P building was located. She made her way around the corner, she saw the building in the distance and started to walk faster since she wanted Opal captured or possibly killed if that was the only way to put her down from killing everyone and trying to become ruler.

Kristina looked back, she saw in the darkness that someone was spying on her , making a fast break trying to started to run directly to the building, trying to cut off the stalker. She ran into an alley not thinking then she thought. D'Arvit! This isn't a good idea...

Kristina kept running then found the exit. She went into the streets then she sighed in relief. She turned around to see someone standing over her in a dark cloak that she couldn't see the face of. She panicked and fell backwards falling on her bottom.

"Don't kill me! I didn't do anything wrong!" She screamed. The person slapped a hand over her mouth and dragged her into the dark alley. She was squirming while the person held her, it finally let her go and she started to back up to the way about to scream. The figure put a finger to assumed mouth. Kristina did what she was told since there was a possibility that she would be killed right now. The figure started to talk in a disguised voice.

"Hello my dear Kristina, how have you been?" Kristina assumed it was a guy and she rubbed her arm looking down at the ground.

"I...I've been good."

"You are lying...Why are lying to me? You do know I could kill you right now." If Kristina could see his face, he would be smirking at her and with those cold eyes.

"How do you know me?" She asked and the figure started to circle her in the alley, slowly. The figure continued to talk.

"Well I've been watching you ever since you were born, even Opal. I have seen that you got into some trouble, helping Opal, murder people that you love." Kristina got off the wall then walked to the figure who was standing there staring.

"I want revenge on the people in my family that betrayed me! Not the ones who they didn't do anything to me. Like Mother...I just can't handle this." The figure put a hand on Kristina's shoulder. Kristina sighed then looked at the hand, it looked familiar.

"Do you really want revenge on Opal?" He said and Kristina nodded. It was possible for Kristina to capture her.

"She caused me too much pain for me, she deserves to get revenge."

"Good...I have a plan and she's not going to like it..."Kristina nodded and the figure let her go and Kristina ran towards the L.E.P building. She looked back and saw that the figure wasn't there anymore. Who was he anyways? Kristina thought.
