A.N: Yeah! I thought I would have to upload tomorrow but I kept my word and it is still Thursday evening. Konbanwa!
Chapter 18: Revelation Risque
"I, the daughter of Moka Akashiya and Zeref Vermillion, am the hunteress of hunters. The apex of apex predators. The destroyer of worlds. I am the princess of destruction."
A cool frost encased me and all I saw were colors. Those colors turned into a kaleidoscope of memories. Memories I dont remember creating. Those memories formed into an all out movie running so fast that only I can see it. Cobalt was right.
The barrier dissolved and the icy mist disspersed. Slowly standing I feel Cobalt at my side. No not Cobalt.
Vexel.
"Your orders, Princess? He questioned and I look around us. The shadows are back and there are even more of them.
"Lets kick some ass." Vexel's eyes slitted much like a feline and the symbol of the Lino Doue's burst full out. He smirks and fangs settle on his bottom lip.
"Yes. My Princess."
Turning to the nearest one I take a full on charge. I aim for the stomach since that's one of its weak points. Information of these monsters swirl through my brain as if Ive known it since the beginning. And maybe I have. The Neeing is to slow for my speed and it poofs into a firework of silver dust. Spinning around with a high kick I hit another and duck down to avoid being hit. Idiot one and Idiot two hit each other and I stand up and chop them both in the neck.
Vexel is at my side and he bows. "I am finished with my task, Princess." Nodding I look around and spot a broken mirror. Tentavely walking foward, I stare at the broken reflection. This is not a girl that I recognize. Long sleek white hair and piercing garnet eyes, the girl has fangs and claws painted black. This girl shows no emotion in her eyes or facial expression whatsoever.
This girl is broken.
Ms. Latashia comes out from where she was hiding and hands me a dress and necklace. The necklace is like 's. A black satin choker with a cross and an amethyst in the center of the charm, like an all seeing eye. "There's a shower downstairs. Your covered in Neeing blood." Looking down I see that she's right. Blood the color of forest green covers my skirt and tank top. Nodding I go and take a shower.
After the shower I make Vexel help put on the necklace. Instantly my hair changed back to its raven color and my eyes go back to the crystal like purple. I had to go see someone.
This time the bell rung but my foot didnt past through the doorway at the same time. I couldnt care less. I was to pissed.
"Kuma, your late."
My anger was rising fast and before I knew it I was in front of her face. Not to mention the principal, Mrs. Morioka was in the room as well.
"WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT ZEREF HUH?!" Moka looked up so quick and in shock that the whole class paused. The woman just sat there and stared with worry filled eyes. Not looking away she said "Class dissmissed. Study hall." Principal Morioka sent them a death glare and they all ran off. The principal sighed and looked as though she wanted to say something but she saw the staring contest between the two of us and she walked out, making sure the door was shut.
"Kuma...I-I can explain...!"
"NO! No no no nonononono! DONT explain ANYTHING to me! I just want you to listen!" Moka stood up and paced her hands moving everywhere like she was frustrated. "God, Kuma! It's not that easy to understand but you need to know! I know I should have told you.—" "But you didnt! You did not. You blatanly sat in front of my face every single day for the past EIGHT MONTHS and lied to me!"
"I did not lie! Nor-"
"And what was up with all that crap about me being one of your favorite students?! What is it because Im your DAUGHTER?! 'Youve already made me proud'! Wh-What the hell was that?! Jani always told me that my parents abandoned me. I believed him and yet here you are! My HOMEROOM teacher. The very woman who I could rely on when my mother was off on some dangerous request and I never knew if she would be back! I mean...! UGH!" A sight that I thought would never be seen to the human race occured just then.
Moka fell to her knees and cried.
The mighty vampire, the strongest one out there, sat right here in front of me and cried her eyes out.
"I never meant for this to happen!"
"What? Me not being born?! A little to late for abortion or filicide!"
"Thats not what I meant! Quit putting words in my mouth! I wanted you to badly to actually do something so inhumane."
I snort. "Good thing your not human!"
A stinging pronounced itself onto my cheek. It stings. It burns. And yet I felt like I deserved that slap. Moka glared down at me with red eyes. This woman created me. Had sex with the dark wizard Zeref, whom we all thought was DEAD f.y.i., and created me. The girl with the scars along her back. Tormented and abused by ghosts of an unforsaken pass. The girl who just wanted to be able to smile with no guilts and regrets. I glared back, just as fiercly at Moka. Im even backing her into a corner walking closer and more vehemently with each step.
"Just listen to me, Moka. I dont want an explanation on why you left me at a base of a mountain. I just want to let YOU know a few things. And your gonna listen clearly coz Im not repeating myself." Her back is pressed against a wall and she looks defeated.
"Right now I only have one goal, one ambition to achieve in this life and it does have to do with this demonic crap. But it has nothing to do with the ones that have just awakened. It's between me a boy with a sick dream and a contract. That's all. And intill I find that boy and deal with some personal buisness with him, Im not giving up or doing anything thats not remotely related. I have gotten to damn close and to damn far to back down now to go and SLAY some demons. Theres no garuntee that Im gonna come back from dealing with that buisness alive but if I do, then I'll start this demon hunting. But I wont kill all of them. There is someone I know who is a demon and she means alot to me. Ya hear that Moka? Good. Remember. Im not dealing with ANY of this BULLSHIT untill Ive completed this long looonngg mission of mine. It's lasted seven years and Im ready for it to come to and end. Whether its him being the victor or me I know one thing. No matter how deep or how far Ive fallen into the depths of despair. No matter how many pawns I loose in this game. I. Will. Win. This is my life and I want to control it."
With that I walked out of the classroom towards my dorm room and for my balcony.
"Do you really have to die to defeat Luka?"
"It's not Luka its Reiga." I snapped and the girl sighed.
Dennevah walked further unto my balcony and looked up at the stars. She saw I was drinking vodka so she grabbed the bottle and drank two gulps. Passing the bottle back to me I do the same.
"Ya know. I can tell that he's been getting inside of your head without being here. He's screwing up your chance of life." Drinking another gulp and looking up at the stars my throat fills raw. "Yeah. Reiga is the type of person who could do that." We settle in a comfortable but tension filled scilence as we watch the sky grow even darker.
"You should probably tell someone before you go. Erza or Natsu. They could understand."
"Understand what? That I was contracted to a demon and turns out I am one?!"
Dennevah sighed, her zinnoti high heels sparkling in the moonlight. "Yes. But not like that." We hear footsteps and the smell of pure water fills my nostrils.
Claire sighs when she sees our state of beings so she gently takes the alcohal from my hand and throws it into the ocean. I glance at her then sigh. "You owe me 30 jewel." Claire giggled but then puckers down. "Cobalt told me what happened. About you two awakening." Rolling my eyes I acutally crack a, perhaps bitter, smile. The 'awakening'. That sounds like some cheesy movie. Plus its been over used for so many diffrent situations that its so not cool. None of the less my smile dies down.
"So you do know about it?" The twins nodded and Dennevah turned towards me. "Dont you remember Kuma? We're demons too. Part of the nobility of darkness like you and Cobalt are." Actually I dont remember but I just nod. I would like to be surprised for once.
-Lucy's PoV-
~Flashback~
The witch the witch the witch Lucy!
Where is your magic broom?
Something less horiffic than your eye
That wont cause us doom.
The witch the witch the witch Lucy!
How far you must have come.
Seveteen years of livin mortal life
And still your not done.
I sigh as that stupid song rings through my mind. After all these years, why'd it come back today?!
We were in the basement having drinks scince the guild hall was still totaled. Mirajane had the lacrima vision on. This news station was talking about a war starting in two other lands which ive never heard of. Appearently it distressed Mira because Fiore could get caught up in it.
"Foolish people. Why do they think fighting will actually accomplish something?" Gramps asked and I shrugged. "It must be the motivated guys who start wars but the guys without motivation get sucked into them." Mira and Gramps turned to me in shock and I raised a brow. "What?"
"Nothing. It's just that no ones really thought about it that way." I laugh a little a pay for my drink. "Ill see you guys later."
Somethings happening. I can feel something dragging me down into insanity.
People die.
That voice...
But it doest matter to you. Everything. Yours to toy with. Release it. Open up. Kill. Everything. Untill everything dissappears before your eyes.
"NO! Im not gonna do that! Im a mortal! Not a monster!"
Dont defy me! Your molecules shall scatter like sand.
I could feel it dragging me down. This was a dream, I had to wake up. This hasnt happened in five years. Why now?!
God. Devil. Hero. Monster. What will you call me?
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
I woke up panting for air.
Looking over I see Natsu had snuck into my house again but I cant be angry. I was grateful that someone human was right next to me. I ruffled his pink locks and he practiclly purred in his sleep.
"People dont kill people. Monsters do. War is a monster. Kingdoms are a monster. Greed is a monster. And Im a monster too. But your human Natsu. Yet you still come back to the witch's lair." Natsu just snuggled deeper into the bed and I laugh.
Time to get up.
