Hearing the calm but threading voice, Victory felt cold down her spine,she wasn't sure if it was her aura or the cold breeze that suddenly made her feel cold
Seeing the girl's frightened expression, Lucy tilted her head and smiled mischievously "scared to talk now? I thought you were a psychopath earlier " she chuckled
"You evil monster, you are finally reveling your true colors" Victory stammered, she stood up and hastily collected her knife from her using it as a defense item she should feel safe but she trembled the more
"Just wait till I tell the whole class and show them your true colors we will see if Thad…..ahh" Victory felt her back smashed against the wall harshly, she stated finding it hard to breathe, Lucy grip her on her neck and tightened it harshly, making Victory gasps for air.
Lucy started deep into her eyes expressionless
It was at that moment Victory noticed something, this person was definitely Lucy but the way she looked at her right now was so different and cold.
Lucy gaze were warm like the sun but often she looked lonely but this.... this gaze right now was cold like winter,the two in the same body, it was as if two different soul were dewelling in one body
"You...you are not Lucy?" Victory said for some unknown reasons,she felt like this was not the Lucy she knew
Lucy looked at her, her lip slowly curved up into a smile,she released her from her grip and walked a few meters away turning her back to her "go back.....your sister will soon be awake!"
Victory sat in the floor, she was too shocked to move, this person was really not Lucy,does that means...
"Does Lucy know?" Victory asked
"No one must know the moment they do I'll hunt them forever" Lucy said in a cold chilling voice
Victory shivered but she still gather her courage to ask one final question "what was my father's offense?" Victory clenched her fist as she stared at the silent Lucy,her heart was in her throat she couldn't be obsessed with killing could she?
Memories washed in and out,her heart begin to tighten,she felt her blood boil, Lucy didn't know how long time had gone but by the time she spoke her voice became colder and her eyes watery
"Get out!"
"Ohh!!!" Victory said disappointed, she supported herself with the wall, she limped out stealing one last glance at Lucy and left.
Lucy looked at the exist door one last time then her word went blank, the last energy she had,she could only mumble one word " Victory!!"
**************
The night passed by quietly as if nothing ever happy, Lucy laid on the bed exhausted,she didn't know why but she felt strange and this was not the first time waking up with this feeling even after taking a bath.
Memories of last night flashed in her eyes,she touched her arm that has been cut but nothing was there, no injury or scar just a sour pain, she was sure she passed out because she lost a lot of blood from here but how she got back and what happened after she did not remember.
Half memory?
Lucy let out a grunt, weird things had been happening lately it was as if she would lose some piece of her memories almost every time. The night is Victory dad's death she remembered going to an underground park and her grandmother,the day she died she remember standing at the her door but what happened afterwards she would not remember when she wakes up.
Her stomach grumbles,she looked at the time,it was already past three in the afternoon she had not even had her first meal of the day, reluctantly she stood up and took a key walking towards the kitchen she paused and placed her hand at a door she had never opened after her grandmother death, just then there was a flash of memory
In the hospital,a little girl about five or six years old lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes,she wasn't sure what happened but she looked lost and pale suddenly a woman's face about 70 years stayed in front of her, tears falling like stream of water,a man walked in unhurriedly he looked mush younger than the woman,he looked at the girl with joy,she was still alive thank God, he thought
"Lucy.." the girl muttered slowly, the woman was about to say something but the man was faster
"That's your name,your name is Lucy"
Both the woman and the girl looked at the man confused.
The scene soon changed,the little girl stood in front of the mirror,she titled her head her big round eyes looking lively and cute as she asked her voice tiny and cute
"Who are you?"
The image in the mirror smiled lovingly "it's me...Lucy"
Clang clang clang!!!!!
The keys in her hand fell bringing her back to reality, Lucy held her head in pain, she stumbled a few step to the back. Finding her way to the dining and drank a full cup of water,panting heavily.
"How long I'm I going to be in pain? How long will the world continue to be unfair to me? Will I be able to hold on....each day passing by always has it own pain...how tragic!!" She lamented as a drop of tear escaped from her eyes
***********
The city awakened with a cacophony of sounds; car horns blaring,people chattering and the wails of sirens in the distance meanwhile in a secluded alley, Lucy walked alone with her head making several turns, she kept on the looking back, she felt restless making her want to increase the pace of how she was walking.
"What are you looking at?"
Like a magnetic force restricting her from moving simultaneously erasing the weary in her heart. She turned and looked at him
"When did you get-"she paused noticing how close they were,her chin instantly reddened, damn it her heart just skipped a beat
"What's wrong ?" Thaddeus asked moving closer to her face
Lucy jumped almost bumping her head into his, steading herself and her long lost but now awakened emotion,she cleared her throat "nothing!"she said and ran away.
Thaddeus looked at her departing figure, his lips curved up into a mischievous smirk.
