chapter 11

Avery returned home exhausted and filled with rage.

How dare they live their lives freely and without guilt after murdering her kind. She vowed then and there that she would destroy them. She would find out their deepest darkest secrets and ensure that the world sees them for the monsters that they are. She would bring justice to her people and ensure that the words demon and evil are never uttered in the same sentence again.

"Avery did you enjoy your time with some of the greatest legends in this generation?" Alister called out.

" They're not that great dad." Avery replied.

Alister looked at her with concern. The child who was in awe everytime he mentioned any hero. The girl obsessed with bringing justice to the world had just dismissed the greatest legends in this generation. Something was clearly wrong.

"Avery baby are you alright?" Alister asked in a worried tone.

"No dad I'm not alright." Avery replied while brushing off his attempt to comfort her.

"What's wrong? What happened? Avery?!" Alister's tone becoming increasingly dire as Avery ignored him.

She walked to her room and locked the door. This made Alister nearly faint.

" Dad I need to be alone for a while. I'm not mad at you. You didn't do anything to warrent that. I just need to real in my emotions. I'm sorry if I'm worrying you." Avery's voice came from the locked door in a whisper.

Alister was still worried but he knew that Avery was stubborn and wouldn't open the door until she felt normal again.

This habbit had made his his scales become rough.

He wished that he knew how to help her but she refused to speak about her life before they met.

He wanted to do more for Avery but all his efforts had failed.

On the other side of the door Avery sat on her bed head resting on her knees. She tried to calm herself down.

She knew that they would never listen to her if she tried to say anything. They might even kill her despite living with her for Soo long.

She needed to keep her emotions in check if she wanted to do anything.

So she spent the next hour calming down before she started planning her revenge.

She was in the middle of brainstorming when a knock was sounded on the door.

"Avery dinner's ready. I'll place your plate here. Let me know if you want more. I made your favorite." Alister's voice called out.

"Thanks dad." Avery replied emotionlessly

She planned while she ate. She had to make sure that if she failed and was found out Alister would stay safe . This made things trickier for her.

Finally she landed on an idea that she was satisfied with.

She went to sleep with the motivation to get revenge for the sake of her people.
