Fan Fiction ❯ Fate's Storm ❯ Reminiscing With the Past ( Chapter 7 )

In the morning I awoke with the baby cuddled to my chest and Caid securely behind me. I pulled away and laid the baby against him, so not to wake ether of the two sleeping people. I slipped into my slippers and walked to the other side of the hall to the girl's rooms and rapped lightly on the doors to wake them up. Que woke up but Kya made no movement inside so I grew worried and opened the door, but she wasn't inside. I raced back to my room to warn Caid but I was speechless as I saw who it was that laid right next to him curled up and wearing only her bra and underwear.

 

“Kya!” I said through clenched teeth. She fluttered awake and gazed back with a smirk.

 

“He isn't yours you know, plus I am more experienced in places you aren't.” She said sliding a hand up and down his chest and through his hair.

 

“Liana…” He mumbled and she got very agitated and drew back from him as he woke up he saw Kya and flew to the other side of the bed.

 

“Kya don't do that, I don't like you that way!” He told holding the baby out to me as I watched shocked at how she was taking this. Kya turned to me, ”You are not worth his attentions, I am and you aren't a savior ether!” And she ran out pushing Que out of the way as she ran down the stairs. I almost dropped the baby but Que steadied me as she sat me down and watched me burst into tears.

 

“We have to go and find her okay.” They nodded and we went outside and searched through the city trying to find Kya, but once we got back there had been no success in finding her. I slumped down in the room that had once been her space and felt the aurora of my past here in this room. It had been the music room where Aunt had entertained people.

 

When she had me in here about 11 I think it was, she had me wearing an uncomfortable outfit that was too tight across the chest so my little breast stood out under the cloth. I saw myself being lead in front of a group of men, no women from what I was used too but men who were older. She pushed me out to them and like hungry wolves some jumped up to touch me everywhere.

I hated it, the way they touched me in places where I thought was uncomfortable, sometimes a group would hand Aunt more money than usual and take off whatever clothing I had on and have me danced. Time after this I would hide away in my room, trying to stay away from the groups when they did come, but when I got caught, I got beat by the men. I remember being 13 and hearing a man say he wanted to have sex with me and was willing to pay, so I ran out the back door, away from the house. I ran into the city, down the road crying my eyes out. I remember running across a road and a car speeding in my direction, I was ready then to die at 13, I was ready to run away from it all and get away from my aunt. The crash never came, but I did find myself on the sidewalk saved by whom, I never found out but when I did come home I came in to hear the news of my parent's death in a car crash. My aunt was arguing with a woman in a suit and kept claiming right to the money they had left behind and the house she was living in. When they noticed me there the woman in the suit came up and hugged me tightly, telling me I never had to see this woman again. I hugged her tightly back and went away with her to court, where I won and lived on my own away from the house.

 

I knew what it felt like to miss people and run away from where you thought you never could be happy, but here I wished Kya would come back and live and be happy and safe. The world kept turning and I laid all night on her bed, hoping in some way it would maybe bring her back, she was like a child to me in a way.

 

I heard, barely someone knocking on the door downstairs and listened as someone answered it. Que came racing up the stairs and shook me crazy.

 

“Miss Liana its Kya, she came back!” Que jumped around so excited, but I darted as fast as I could down the stairs and hugged that crazy girl tight and smiled like crazy. She hugged me back hesitantly but did it anyway and begged for forgiveness. I kept telling her it was ok and that I was just glad to se her safe and sound. She suggested to us to go out and celebrate, and I agreed grabbing my coat and heading outside behind her with the baby cradled against me. It began to snow and the ice crystals tickled my nose as we walked around like a bug family and enjoyed the moment, we passed by my old school and I watched it wanting to forget what happened, remembering what yet had to be completed. Kya and Que spun around in the snow the flakes melting on their tongues and sprinkled across their hair.

 

“Liana…” A voice said above the snow. I spun around to see who had uttered my name and came face to face with the angel, that same white haired bitch that had tormented me. She was smirking and my two friends stepped out from behind the gates and others stepped out as well.

 

“Good job my little apprentice.” The angel called and I turned to see Kya, but she had her white wings and was smiling with a faint spot of evil.

 

“Sorry `mother' but I can't love you as long as Caid is yours.” She said flying above with the angel, laughing at my face, which I knew even to my better judgment, had sadness and anger across it for having another important person taken from me. I held the baby closer to my chest and tried not to form any powers, I didn't want to start a fight here with the baby in trouble.

 

“Come on Liana, fight me!” The angel taunted tossing snow at me, but I turned and tried to ignore it. The baby moved and I knew she saw what was wrapped in my arms.

 

“Oh! You and Caid have been busy! Don't want to hurt your little baby, well tough luck!” She soared down at me and hit me in the back sending me to the snow and the baby out of my hands. I got up and tried to run to the baby and swept her back up into my arms, I turned to Que.

 

“I want you to take the baby and leave, Caid and I will take care of this!” I said handing her over and glaring at the angel, my powers forming.

 

“But I-“ She started but I cut her off and yelled for to leave. I saw her take flight and some of the angels try to go after her but I was there first and knocked them to the ground with a few solid punches. I turned to Kya and the angels that hovered close by and went directly at the angel, I felt my power coming back, but the change wasn't physical so I hoped it was going to be enough to take her on. I came at her but Marissa and Jason stood between her and my full on attack, I wanted to kill this woman but my heart kept telling me to stop with my anger and fight with my heart. In this situation it was very difficult to not want to hate her. I tried to dodge around my friends but they kept coming back and blocking my view.

 

“That angel you killed back in heaven was my husband! How you could have killed him I'm not sure, but your powers have come back now show me these feared gifts!” She dove between my friends and lunged at me but I readied my sais and blocked her attack. She went to strike me in the shoulder but I dodged it easily, she went to do it again but I moved again.

 

“Losing your touch angel!” I taunted her, my heart in other places, I watched my friends ready themselves for an attack but I flew to one of them and held Marissa to my heart.

 

“Let me go!” She yelled trying to pull away, and hit me with her sword but I grabbed her hand and pulled them behind her back. I looked at her angered filled eyes, but the anger didn't phase any part of the love I had for her. I kissed her cheek and hugged her tightly whispering in her ear and trying to defend myself against Jason's attacks.

 

“Marissa if you had told me about your love for Jason, I would have told you to go for it. Why can't you remember who you are, why can't you see that this isn't fair? You are strong and can fight off this woman of her control over you!” I felt the light come again from deep in my skin and felt myself connected to her, inside her heart I saw her feeling lonely and standing by herself while other people around her talked with each other and ignored her. I saw the loneliness and tried to run to her, but someone tried to hold me back, I felt her pain and kept pulling to get to her. I cried out her name again and again but she didn't her me, I pulled again and strained against the restraints that held me bound to her heart. I cried out again in my heart and the same light I felt broke the chains and that's when I ran at Marissa and hugged her. She was shocked for a moment but turned and returned my hug just as eagerly. I felt myself draw away from that moment and found her hugging me now in the air and Jason next to us hugging us as well, maybe he had seen the memory as well and how much we were meant to all stay together.

 

“No! You can't win! Die Liana!” The angel came at me, I was unprepared and waited for the blow but I felt a body pushed hard against my back. I turned to look at the person and saw the dark skin and white wings of Kya's. The sword was right through her stomach and out her back covered in her blood. I caught her body as it came off the angel's sword and looked up at me, her eyes glazed over.

 

“You know I was wrong about you Liana, you will save us all…” Her voice faded out and her body became limp in my arms, I hugged her to me and shook with the tears that steamed down on my face. I looked up, tears and all at the angel in front with a smug look but she was afraid because she could feel the power growing inside of me from the death.

I laid Kya on the snow and took flight again into the air, “You want to fight then bring it on!” She was afraid when I came at her with the sais poised to strike and took a cut at her arm, her side and face. She couldn't dodge my attacks at all but she missed every time when she came at me. I laughed in her face and kept going at her and playing with the fact that she was weakening and losing her control over the situation, I went to strike her down in one bloody hit but I couldn't do it this way, so I concentrated my power and released it on her making her form disappear in a flash of a brilliant light that was my power and as it faded I slowly stepped down onto the ground. I ran a hand over Kya's face and picked her up again, my friends followed behind me back to the house. I felt like warrior cheated of the most precious things I could ever have. At the house I didn't want to listen to anyone, Jason and Marissa moved in as well making the house so busy with the movement of everything that went on around me, but I slept in my bed for days not wanting to see anyone. I went back to my memories of Sage and how it was so similar to my life now.

 

One of the days I was there, running away from home he wasn't there and I began to worry. I thought he had forgotten me, but as soon as I set one foot in the house, Aunt had me by the hair and dragged me through the house to an empty room. Inside Sage was thrown against a wall, I scurried over to his side and tried to get him to wake up. He groaned in pain, and looked into my eyes with sorrow towards me.

 

“I'm sorry I got caught and couldn't be there for you.” He explained with a small smile and laid a hand on my cheek, where my tears began to come out again. I held him in my arms, he laid there still until someone came and pulled me away from him. I fought with all my strength trying to get to him, I called his name out and he tried to reach for my hand but I was yanked out of the room. Thrown against the nearest wall, Aunt struck me across the face, so much anger was pent up that I lunged at her, my hands wrapped around her throat as I tried to choke her. People came behind me and pulled hard and threw me against the wall, I fought back hard and pushed my way into the room. I gathered him into my arms and leaned down, he looked up and pulled me to him as he kissed me so softly.

 

“Liana, be strong you have a great destiny in front of you. Please don't ever give up.” He kissed me again and I just wanted to stay in that moment, crying and feeling in love. I was pulled away suddenly and thrust into the opposite wall, Aunt standing there with a gun pointed in my direction. I laid there ready for the fire, but when it went off I felt nothing. Opening my eyes I looked at the bloody figure in front of me it hurt so much to se him bleeding.

 

“SAGE!” I yelled rushing forward and catching him as we hit the ground. I wept holding his face to my chest. He was still smiling but in his eyes I could see the life leaving him. I kissed his lips one last time and watched his last breath escape him. I buried him, not ever finding whoever his family was and left flowers everyday.

During that year I met Jason and Marissa, but the torture of my life continued on. I still dwelled on the thought of Sage and when I was beat, I tried to remember him, and I would see his death again. At twelve, I locked myself in the bathroom and cried myself dry and saw the blade. It laid on the sink and I felt as if it were calling my name out, I walked cautiously and picked it up, running my finger over the blade. I looked down at the blue lines on my wrist and felt the pulse and heat run through my body. I placed the razor down hard and ran it quickly over it, the blood ran swiftly down my arm as I did the same to the other wrist and laid on the tile floor, so cool as my blood flowed out my wrist and down my arm. I felt warm lying in my own blood and I felt myself leaving, but the door to the bathroom opened and I looked up into a bright light and someone picked me up.

I remember waking up to see Jason and Marissa hovering over me worried I might not wake up. I cried as I finally had my eyes opened.

 

“Why! I wanted to die!” I thrashed around trying to get free, crying that I had to live life through all the pain, all the troubles. I cried so many tears, they tried to comfort me but I told them to leave me alone. I wiped the tears of my face and stared out the window, I felt a hand though brush against my face, I looked over annoyed they hadn't left me alone. I turned over and came face to face with Sage, I felt so happy but my hands went right through him.

 

“Liana, you have to be strong. The world is going to need you soon, beautiful angel be strong, be the woman I know you will be.” He kissed my forehead and I was so happy and closed my eyes, when I went to open them he wasn't there any more.
