Child of The Damned
By Shino Musume (死の娘)
Hi guys!
Silly me forgot to put a notice for those who weren't reading my last fic. The notice is that this story is a complete reboot of my last one. It is going to have similar framework to a novel I am working on and is going to be rather OC centered because of this.
I'm very sorry about how late this chapter was. I temporarily lost inspiration but fear not, it has returned!
Also ONE OK ROCK is a huge inspiration for this fic and my novel. Seriously, I have a playlist full of their songs that I listen too when writing these.
That is all.
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Chapter 2
"Hey! What's going on down there?!" Mariana shouted down to the ground floor.
"There's a large group of people gathering around the college, they're blocking the gates!" Some random guy shouted back up.
The amount of people in the atrium increased by the minute as the student body waited to find out exactly what was happening. Lilith and Mariana made their way back down to the stairs to join the masses. Making their way to the front they soon found themselves exiting the college and seeing how large the mysterious group was. It wasn't a group; it was a legion. They all seem unhealthily pale with dark rings around their eyes but a part from that they seemed to be diverse.
Movement was seen as someone made their way to the front, they group separating to make way for them. Obviously this person was important. It was a surprise to find two people had made their way to the front just like Lilith and Mariana had done.
These two people were both male. The one on the left was a pale Caucasian with teal eyes and waist length blond hair. He wore a white suit with a full length coat. The male on the right had an olive skin tone with golden eyes and dark brown hair. His face was littered with piercings and he wore a black hat with a gold eye in the centre. He was dressed in what appeared to be an navy jogging suit.
"You know Luke, I still don't understand why Boss sent us here. It's just a shitty college after all." The olive one jested.
"We're hear because she has been sighted here, Jan. We are here to capture her and bring her to our leader." The one called 'Luke' reminded 'Jan'.
So they were looking for a girl. Lilith saw Mariana look at her briefly in her peripheral vision; did she know what was going on? Was she connected to this in some way?
"I don't see why the little Princess would be here of all places, this is miles away from London." Jan pointed out.
"Then you are as unobservant as a newborn. Look, our target is right there, at the front of the crowd see. Learn to use your eyes." He chided, pointing directly to Lilith.
Lilith's eye widened with shock as a collective gasp was heard from the student body, even though a large percentage of the couldn't see nor hear what was happening. What did they mean by target? Why was this happening? Who the fuck was she before she lost her memories and what the fuck did she do?! Mariana placed a hand on her shoulder and gave her a look as if to say everything will be alright.
"Well, since she's been found I guess we better get to capturing her!" Jan shouted enthusiastically. With that he clicked his fingers and the army behind him charged towards the students.
The students began to scream and run back into the college, trying to find safety within the building. Mariana still had her hand on Lilith's shoulder, her face utterly calm. Lilith's mind was screaming at her to do something, anything, she needed to protect everyone as this mess was her fault. Not knowing what to do she followed her instincts and slammed her hands on to the tarmac, causing a wall of darkness to rise up just as gun shots could be heard. The darkness then crashed into the army before her, knocking them off their feet. More gun shots could be heard and she looked towards the source; a man in a long red coat with sort black hair was walking through the army casually firing a large gun at random enemies, turning them to ash. Lilith felt a small breeze came from behind her, letting her know that most of the students were inside now. The red man suddenly stood stock still and slowly turned towards her, his face looking somewhat unbelieving. When his eye met hers he sharply drew a breathe.
"Lilith... you're safe... " He breathed, his face showing relief.
"You know who I am?" Came her reply.
Just as those words left her lips a helicopter could be heard above them and a ladder dropped down.
"Master! There are still targets you know!" A short blonde shouted as she slid down the ladder.
Snapping out of his trance like state, his face slipping into a neutral mask, he cocked his gun and turned away from Lilith. Mariana tapped Lilith on the shoulder letting her know she was still there. A happy smile was on her face as she got down to Lilith's level, as she still had her hands on the tarmac, and hugged her.
"You're going to be going home Princess." She whispered in her ear, her voice filled with joy.
"Hey! Are you two okay?" The short blonde asked as she approached.
Mariana stood bringing Lilith up with her, who was in shock about the turn of events. Armies? Target? Princess? Home? This was all just too much for her to take in. I think I'm gonna faint! No, no, don't faint. You are above fainting.
"Don't worry fledgling, the Princess and I are fine... Well the Princess appears to be in shock but that's understandable."
"She's the Princess?! Wait, how do you know what I am?"
"I would't expect you to know me or recognise the Princess since you're only 2 months old. Just know that I am a her faithful servant and my family use to be in the service of her father. Now go to you're master, you have work to do. You both have already let the Jan and Luke get away." Mariana stated, looking thoroughly displeased.
The blonde huffed and stomped off to her Master, picking up a rifle that was left on the growned. Mariana cradled Lilith's head to her, hearing her about to begin to hyperventilate. She made hushing sounds, gently swaying from side to side to calm her mistress. Lilith could feel herself getting weaker as her vision faded to black. Ah, fuck it.
