Thy Fairy Tale Chapter 2: Friend or Foe? Alliance or War? After a 2 week recovery from the injuries, I was released and was expected to be interrogating the captive "Being" within a cell that we call "Shock." It's name is famous for the electrocuting properties if a "Being" tried to escape and break the bars in doing so. "So, what level is the security on the "Being's" cell?" I asked for assurance. "It's currently in the lower levels until you enter the cell, Mam'm. To be honest he hasn't caused any troubles so far. It makes me think he wants to die," my attendant reported to me. I nodded and we continued into the courtyard where his cell waited towards the middle. I could see he had no intention on trying to get out, nor would I believe he was that stupid. Especially knowing his skills in combat, which I could even say that he was probably once a recruit here in the Academy. As we reached the high-tech cell, I stood near the place where it would open. "Making opening, now." She says as she pulls the switch and a portal-like opening appears in front of me. When I entered the "Being" stared at me with both hate and confusion. Though it didn't seem like enough confusion to drive him insane. Since this kind of cell was high-tech we couldn't be heard but we could be seen. So if he were to try anything stupid, the operators can put up a temporary shield around me whenever I have them the signal to. "Hello, long time no see little "Being," let's get to business shall we?" I said just a tad sassy and official-like. "First of all my name is Georgent, so no need to call me a "Being" Ms. Recr..." "#lifeaya. It's Ms. #lifeaya." I said cutting him off before he finished. He pouted for reasons that could guess. He was like a little child with that face. "Bloody meeting you, Georgent," I continued, void of emotions. "Likewise you ugly lady," he sneered. Unaffected by his comment I moved on with questioning him,"Were you hired by someone? What intentions did you have? What were you to gain from our loss? If you were doing this of your free will, did you think that you would've made something out of yourself?" He seemed to try to make himself smaller from each question he received, until he could no longer fold any part of his body. "Listen when I'm talking to you!!!" I yelled and kicked him to the cell bars electrocuting him, as he screamed in pain. He groaned and slowly got back up,"Fine you bitch.... I'll listen but I don't think I'll answer shit for an ugly hag of the likes of you." "It would make my job much easier if you would just tell me, though I guess you don't trust very easily, I could even suspect that you were betrayed a lot in your childhood."in saying that he flinched. "It's none of your business to know, you filthy human!!!" He said as he tried to throw a punch at me. I signaled to put the shield up and the "Being" was thrown back a bit,"I really wouldn't try doing that again, I need you awake right now so I can get some answers." My eyes had peered in my nightmare that will never be erased, "My parents have been killed by a "Being" and I can't remember the face of the murder... I know you probably don't give one single fuck but I need to find the end of that string and cut it loose from my past," I saw him give a surprised face almost as if he actually cared. "Well I'm sorry hag, that's #life for you," he said laughing at me. I glared at him with anger and hurt,"I never asked for your opinion, but say that again and I will not forgive you light-heartedly." He smirked,"As if you could hurt me you weakling, I bet your parents won't even take acknowledgement of y-" As I was listening to his cruel words, I had started to cry. Sure I've been living a burdened #life, but it doesn't mean whenever someone puts my #life's work down I wouldn't be sad. I had put up with eighteen years of my #life to dedicating myself to my parent's duties. Both my parents had the same role as I did, yet when it came to protecting their only heir.... They were killed. "O-oi, why would a superior cry like a child?! Are you fucking three or something?!" He sounded rude but I could tell that he felt a bit sympathetic. "You can say that, not all recruits are strong at heart.... Not even myself.... But I want to grow stronger because there's something I'm striving for and I don't want to fail the ones who gave me a future," I say still letting my tears fall. "How weak!!!" Apparently he took the opportunity to attack me and I was thrown into the bars. "Ahg!!!" Had i kept my guard up I wouldn't be in pain, but my subconscious seemed it necessary to let it out. Soon after I fell to the ground since the power was turned off, and Georgent attempted to break out. Thankfully the recruits were ready and the cell had already put him in a barrier that would reflect the attack on himself. I just lay there reflecting upon my past once more and cry inside even more. I turned my head and noticed he hadn't tried to do anything else and looked very surprised at his actions. I slowly got up and the only thing I wanted at that moment was find a way to get rid of the haunting memory. But as I thought about it, I wouldn't be where I am without it, so I put that thought aside. "Lady #lifeaya, are you alright?!" My attendant yelled with concern as she ran to me from within the cell. "Don't come in, I'm just fine. Plus what recruit would I be if I couldn't handle an electric shock?" I said with confidence. "B-but..." "I said I'll deal with it, so don't interfere!" I said with cold eyes this time. She only nodded before turning around again and turning the power back on. While she did so I got up from where I was sitting a moment ago and walk up to where Georgent was trapped. "Well that was surprising... I see you enjoyed hurting me, no?" I said void of anything I had felt a moment ago. He didn't say anything for a long time, but realizing I'm not going anywhere he opened his mouth," I-I did enjoy it, but a hag like you doesn't deserve such acknowledgement about a little thing," he smirked. "Well if you continue to act up as such I wouldn't hesitate to kill you like I will the one who killed my parents," by the looks of the face he was giving me, I sounded very cold. "What a stupid way to threaten me, I'm not afraid of death, plus I've been expecting to die for a long time. But I if you kill me I'll come back only to haunt you," he replied a bit too seriously. "Fine..." I turned around and signaled to let me out. My attendant came rushing to me with a worried face," Are you alright, Lady #lifeaya?" "Don't ask me of such, I'm fine, but I need to be alone for a bit, today has brought me many demons to come back..." I said as I rushed away to my private room. [POV Switch] - Georgent "Who would've known that even strong willed recruits have a slight weakness," I smirked at the thought,"Now if if I'm to get out of hear, I'm going to need to fool this girl into trusting me some." I thought to myself as I ponder my plans. I looked around and noticed that the barrier is gone but the power was still electrifying the cage. I sighed thinking about being such a weakling to have even been caught. Calling myself an idiotic fox isn't going to do much though so continued plotting my tactics. Then I realized that the hag kept popping up in my mind and that my chest started to ache. I had no idea why since I've never experienced such feelings like these. I've only know to kill other humans like she and her companions. It was starting to but that she wouldn't just leave her mind. But then again I didn't mean to make her make that kind of face. An image of her crying suddenly appeared in my mind,"Gah!!! Why am I thinking like that?!" I yelled. I thrashed around a little bit, then a thought crossed my mind. She'll be back to torment me tomorrow, unless of course she's too chicken to especially after that little thing I said about her dead parents.... But the again my parents abandoned me.... I am like her in a sense, but the difference is mine are alive and Ms. #lifeaya's were murdered by things like me.... Though the story reminds me of one kill I had where the couple had been so stubborn to move... I sighed, it was probably a coincidence since there are many incidents that are similar to that. I sat down and tried to think of what it would be like to be free of this bird cage and tear that human apart... When I said that my chest ached once more like before. It's starting to annoying me, that I stop thinking and try to enclose myself in sleep. [POV Switch] - #lifeaya Sighing as I plopped down onto my bed, I continued to cry from my recent predicament,"Why must hearing others say it hurt so much...? Why does it feel I haven't done much for my parents at all? What am I to do if I can't avenge there death...?!" I continuously questioned myself. Ramming my head with my endless insecurities, I thought of how my mother used to hug me in times like this and cried even more. It was not really a time to cry but I couldn't help it, I was a crybaby whenever someone mentions my parents... I can't stop my endless demons from hurting me more then thy already have. A knock at my door somewhat silenced my foolishness,"Alpha class scythe wielder, #lifeaya Satou, you are to report your progress to the Captain within the time before dinner. That's an order from Mr. Hynishiro," The voice of Levin said from outside my shell. Furiously wiping away the tears I replied,"Roger I'll go right now then," I say as I get up from the bed to open the door. But before I could walk past my classmate, he hugged me tightly,"Are you okay, I heard you crying..." "I-I'm just f-..." "Don't try to hide it, I won't tell anyone. I love you, so I won't tell anyone," he said passionately. I didn't say anything while he embraced me tightly as if he would never let me go for anyone. I stayed there still in shock as I tried to open my mouth. "I-I...." He cut me off by placing his index finger gently on my lips,"I don't need an answer now, but I just thought you should know how I feel and that I only wish for your happiness."
