Chapter 9: I'll Tell You My Story
'What the hell? Where am I and why can't I see anything? What happened? Am I dead?'
I opened my eyes to a bright blue sky. My eyesight's a bit blurry though, I reached to my face. Where are my glasses? I sat up and began to search for them.
"Oh, you're awake." A voiced said, "Here you go." I felt my glasses placed on my face.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem."
I turned to my left and saw Lulu right next to me! "Lulu!" I yelled in shocked.
"Yeah?"
I remember now, everything. Oh I am so pissed right now. "You knocked me out!"
"I had to, you won't stop struggling." She said nonchalant.
"Because I thought you were going to kidnap me or something!" I yelled.
"Hey if I hadn't came in when I did, who know what those other guys would have done to you."
"Those guys are my friends! We were trying to get me to feel better you rejected me!" I responded, then a thought am to mind. "Wait, how did you know I was in trouble and I thought? I thought you were avoiding. I mean, I've looking for you for like a fucking month! And when I did finally find you, you down right rejected the mere idea of us being partners! So what the actual fuck Lulu!?"
"Dagger please," Lulu said calmly, "Restrain yourself from cursing."
"Restrain myself from cursing!?" I repeated, "That's you have to say!?"
Lulu took a deep breath and exhaled, "Dagger, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Ever since,"
I looked at her at awe. She what?
"The truth is Dagger I do want to be partners." Lulu said with a serious face," But you can't be my partner because ,"
"If you say 'because I'm a weapon.' I swear to Lord Death I will slap you!"
She looked a bit scared afraid of being slapped. "Ok, but I was going to say because I'm a bad person. Bad luck follows where ever I go. I'm afraid you'll get and I'll be at blame."
"Lulu, you are not a bad person." I said.
"How would you know, we barely know each other and already we want to be partners."
"Because, "I stated, "I'm an excellent judge of character."
She let out some bearable audio giggle.
"But I suppose you're right," I said more seriously, "I tell you what, I'll share my tragic back story then you tell me your tragic back story and then we'll fight crime!" I shouted the last part whiling standing up in a heroic pose. Lulu chuckled a bit louder this time.
I sat back down to her, "Once upon a time, there was this kid who was born and raised in Cleveland. She lived there with her mother, two half siblings and her step-father. She had a biological father too, but he wasn't around a lot and lived not too far from his daughter and loved her dearly, luckily she visited him often. Now this kid, she was bright and friend to everyone at school, everyone liked her but at home, she was different then. Her step-father was a fucking bastard. He yelled, beaten and abused his step-daughter. And as the years go by her siblings took after their father and blamed so many thing on her so she would be in trouble and of course no one would believe when she told the truth. She was also different from her the rest of her family, everyone, this except for her dad, were into physical sports. But she loved art and music and reading. She hid in her room to escape from the shitty reality she lived in. She would read so many books she grew an interesting personality that made everyone liked her more, except for the step-father." I turned to look back at Lulu, just to see if she were listening. She was.
"More years passed, her father moved out of state to Arizona and left his daughter behind. It was hell, to be there without him. She was abused more and would say she would move to Arizona just be there with her father. She didn't care where he was, she wanted to see him again. But her mother refused to let her. So she hid in her room even more, never really leaving it. He was gone entire year. He had finally returned. At this time the girl was now thirteen and her body was developing. That fucking shit head of a step-father decided to do something about it. He threatens the girl that she would never see her father again unless she did as he said and not tell anyone. Influenced by fear she did as he said. This went on for awhile. The girl didn't want to do as her step-father said but had to if she wanted to see her actual father. Her mother didn't notice a single thing, the bitch. She was so oblivious until her husband's birthday came up and the girl's siblings made card for their father but not the girl. Why? Why would she make something nice for the man who forced her to those things to please him like that?
Her mothers yelled at her and demand to know what was going on. The girl refused and cried in feared that something bad would happen. But eventually the girl broke and told her mother everything. Her mother then right to confront her husband but he was at work, at a gas station up the street so girl didn't know how it went. Did her mother even really believed her eldest daughter? She must have because about an hour later she took her three children to their grandfather's house. There the mother told the grandfather what happened, and that night the girl couldn't go back home. Never again did she step in that same house after the next day. The girl had to live with her grandparents and two younger aunts and a younger uncle for at least a year. Eventually the step-father was sentenced to jail for five years and the girl got to live her father. A happy ending huh? Think again, her mother and siblings hate her, though they won't say it out loud. And her mother never cared to call her daughter nor did her brother or sister. Thought the girls knew this, she was happy to be with her father until 'it' happened.
The girl soon discovered her born abilities, she found out she was a weapon. Feared she would be feared by all including her father she kept it secret. But she couldn't control it and one day she stabbed her father, in the gut by accident." I was Lulu stiffened, "Her father was rushed to the hospital and survived. The girl was mortified; she had nearly killed her own father. So the girl ran away. She left her father a noted that she was going to a place where she couldn't hurt him ever again. She wonders until the police finally found her and brought her back to her father. Her father wasn't scared only concerned. He told his daughter about a school about kids just like her. The girl agreed to go so she wouldn't fear that the same incident repeats itself."
I looked at Lulu, she gave me a sad look, and "You do know the girl I was talking is me right?" I joked. Her face felled to annoy and playfully pushed me away. I let out a laugh, "Well that includes 'The Wonderful Adventures of Dagger!' Stay tuned in for 'Lulu's Adventures'!" I stared at Lulu for awhile, signaling her to start her story.
"I don't think you want to hear my story." Lulu said with a grim face.
"Hey now," I said, "You rejected me, knocked me out, kidnapped me and I told my sad story now I want to hear yours."
She sighed in defeat, knowing she could not win this argument. "Fine. I'll tell you my story."
