Chapter Two

Akierra

*Flashback*

Fifteen years ago..

"Mike get Akira and my wife out of here right now!" I heard my Father shouted when he entered the office.

Im sitting on the couch and watching my favorite cartoon. Its sponge bob, a little yellow sponge who can talk under water.

"What is going on?" My Mom asked my Dad but Daddy only ignored my Mom and start searching for something in his drawer.

"There's no time to explain Aileen, go with Mike and leave this building quickly." My Father respond and pull something on her drawer.

My eyes widen and i squeeze my teddy bear hard.

It was a gun.

"Daddy why do you have a gun?" I nervously ask. My Dad looked at my direction and put the gun behind him. He walk towards me and kneel on the floor so he can reach my height.

"Its nothing sweetie, Daddy just need it for safety. Can you please go with Mommy and Mike? Be a good girl okay? Daddy loves you very much." He said and a tear slip down his cheeks.

"Why are you crying Daddy?" I ask him and reach for his face so i can wipe his tears.

"Im not crying baby, something just caught my eyes. Okay? Just be a good girl and listen to Daddy. Come on." He answered and pull me closer to him. He hug me so tight before kissing my forehead.

"Hon what is happening?" My Mom asked Dad and pull my Daddy closer to her.

"What is going on!?" She asked again. I can hear the nervousness in her voice.

"They followed us. You and Akira needs to leave. Now!" I saw how my Mothers face turn pale and quickly hug my Dad.

"No, i wont leave without you!" She said.

"Aileen there's no time you two need to leave before they get he---."

"Aaaahhh!!" I shouted as i heard a loud gun shot.

"Go! Now!" My Father shouted again and forced my Mom to let him go.

"Madam we need to leave for yours and Akira's safe---."

"AHHHHHH..Mommy!!" I shouted and run to my Mom when i saw Mike's body drop to the floor with a loud thud. A blood comes out of his mouth and head.

"Akira hide! Now!" My Daddy shouted. I cried and crawl under his office table. The table is not fully covered so my other half is still exposed.

"What do you want!?" I heard my Mom ask when a woman with ginger red hair walks in the office like nothing happened.

She's wearing a golden mask that covers the half of her face.

"You know what i want." A cold and husky voice echoes to the whole office. I can hear the sound of her heels as it clicks to the floor.

"We already told you! We dont know anything about that code!!" My Father shouted followed by the sound of a gun.

"AHHHHH...CEDRICK!!" I heard my Mom shouted. I held my mouth tight to prevent my self from shouting too. I saw a body fell to the ground despite of the tears that keeps falling from my eyes.

The cries of my mother was heard from the whole office. The sound of the police siren's was heard and also the running foot steps of the people in the building.

"You are a monster!! Help! Help us! Somebo--."

A loud sound of the gun interrupted my Moms plead for help. I bit my lips hard that i started to taste the blood from it.

My Moms body fell to the floor. Her eyes are open and looking straight at me. Her head was shot by a gun and i cant do anything. I want to get out of here and help my Mom and Dad but my fear is eating my whole system.

The door opens and the police came in. Firing their gun to the woman. The woman flip the table where I've been hiding and duck under it.

I saw her eyes flicker to me and point her gun to my head. I close my eyes and wait for her to pull the trigger.

"Do it. So i can be with my Mommy and Daddy too." I said with a quivering voice.

"Drop the gun!" I heard the officer shouted but the cold metal remains pointing at my head.

"Im sorry kid." The woman said. I waited for her to shoot me too. To kill me so i can join my Mom and Dad but as minutes pass by. I felt nothing.

I open my eyes and look at her. She stare at me too. The golden brown orbs of her eyes stare at me. She stands up and take her jacket off. She covers me with it and shoot the big glass window infront of us. I covered my ears and squints my eyes.

She run towards it and jump out of it. I heard the police's foot steps as they chase the mystery murderer.

I remained staring at the broken window where the woman jumps out, wondering why she haven't kill me.

*End Of Flashback*

And in that moment, i promised my self to get revenge for what she did to my parents. I want her to regret the decision of not killing me when she had the chance.

"Hey, dinner's ready." I heard Celine shouted from downstairs. I took a deep breath and wipe the wet liquid that falls from my eyes. I didn't know i was crying untill i touch my cheeks.

"Akie!? The food will get cold, come on." She shouted again.

"Im coming! Hold your horses woman, jeez." I shouted back and closed my suitcase. I guess, i'll just finished this after eating dinner.

"So what's your plan when you meet her? I mean..when you get there? What will you do?" I rolled my eyes at her and took a spoonful of rice before shoving it to my mouth.

"I dhunnoo." I tried to speak clearly but i know it came as a muffle sound.

"Tsk! Dont talk when your mouth is full!" She scolded me and frown. I shrug and slowly chew the food inside my mouth.

I intentionally did that to piss her off, i know she hates it when i do that. Im just avoiding her questions.

"Akie!" Celine snapped her fingers infront of me.

"Jeez! What!?" I irritated asked her.

"You're spacing out again. Where did that little brain of yours go again?"

"My brain actually went to the kitchen and grab a knife, i think she want me to stab you with it." I sarcastically respond and continue eating.

"But seriously though.. what will you do?" She asked again and i just look at her and shrug.

"To be honest...i dont know."

"What!? You've been searching for her for how many years and now that you found her,your telling me that you dont know what to do!? Are you fucking kidding me!?" She shouted, i have to cover my ears because of how loud her voice are.

Sometimes i wonder if she swallow a megaphone inside her body.

"Are you trying to break my eardrum? Im not deaf you moron, i can perfectly hear you!"

"Sorry..i got carried away." She apologized and slight grin at me. I just frown at her.

"I was young when that happens, all i can think about is making her pay for what she did to my parents but i never really thought of what i should do if i did found her. I guess i was just full of hatred." I lied and she sigh. I dont want her to get involved. I want to keep this to myself.

There was a long silence between us. My appetite was gone and im just poking my food around.

"You're not gonna kill her, right?"

"What!? Ofcourse not! Im not a murderer like her Celine." I scoffed and she laugh.

"I know, im just pissing you off."

"Well then congrats, you did a very good job. Im going to bed. I still need to pack my other stuffs and i have an early meeting tomorrow for my long leave. Excuse me.."

She just shrugged in response.

I go upstairs and continue packing the things that i need to bring. When im done, i lay in my bed and sigh.

I zoned off to dreamland with a smile on my face with a happy thought in my mind.

'Scarlet Alcantara, be prepared. You're nightmare is about to happen.'
