ERICA
After the whole day of celebration plus the assassination job I was tired to the point of where I can fall asleep instantly onto the floor. Tired is more than I am feeling right now. My whole body aches and only a hot shower and my fiancee in it makes me feel better.
Doing just that my lover took a scrub to help me wash my back at first but I was hesitant for her to do that. Immediately, I took her hand into mine covering my back with my hair, but her eyes told me that I can't hide my scars from her and so I let out a sigh before letting go off her hand.
I sat down onto a stool and I pulled my long hair onto the front with my back exposed to her and all I could hear was a gasp coming out of her lips. My head hung low. I didn't want her to see me in this state, but as my future wife my scars like this will get worse especially when I know Micah won't stop until she gets what she wants, and she'll won't hesitate to hurt me to get what she wants.
Micah, she is someone I wouldn't want to mess with. However, I don't love her. I can't marry someone whom I don't have feelings for.
As the water from the shower was raining down on us I felt Fay fingers touched my skin some of my scars were still fresh from today. The way the water touched these scars stings but I was used to these kinds of things. My grandpa training were way more harsh than this, but I'll like to keep that silent from Fay for as long as possible.
I am not a normal human being that Fay wanted to fall in love with, and it makes me feel I am unworthy of her love. She doesn't deserve me. She deserve someone better who could give her everything, but being with me she will just be exposed to all kinds of danger. I am dangerous to be with.
She lightly trace my newly formed scars that was made today with her fingers and it stung. "Does it hurt?" she whispers.
"It hurts but as long as you are here nothing hurts."
"Really?" she questioned and she pressed my scars harder making me groaned out in pain. "And you said it doesn't hurt."
I turn around and pull her into me. "I am still human, Fay," I commented. "I still feel, but let me revise my words with you around the pain I feel becomes bearable and with you around I become stronger." We pulled apart and she stared into my eyes they were red. "Why are you crying, love? You should be happy because you are going to be my future wife, Fay."
She cries harder. "I am happy," she tries but tears get the better of her and as her voiced changed. "But I don't want you to get hurt because of me. I don't want you to be endangered because of me. All I want for you was to be happy."
I shushed her putting my finger onto her lips but tears still streamed down from her eyes uncontrollably. "Fay," I whispered and held her hand. "Look at me love." She looks at me. "I am doing this because I love you and I want the both of us to be happy. I won't go and put myself in danger because I know that there is someone waiting for me to constantly come home. Fay, I won't put myself or you or anyone I love in danger not unless its an emergency so Fay Von Lumia you don't have to worry about me."
"Promise?" she chocked.
"I promise." She stood up onto her knee making me look up to her face and she leaned down to meet my lips sealing our promise and with a promise like that I gave her a soft and passionate kiss in which no lust is found.
When we got out of the shower Carl was sleeping soundfully on our bed. We smile with Carl sleeping at the center it made Fay and I looked like a parent taking caring of our son. Which I wonder if Fay ever wanted a child of our own. With all the happy thoughts in my mind I feel asleep and for the first time in this two week I had the best night sleep.
When morning came I slowly climbed out of the bed. Fay and Carl was actually hugging one another making them look like mother and son. So without disturbing them I went to get ready for my usual morning routine with my grandpa.
I went down to the basement of this mansion. My grandfather is in there waiting for me. I sat down onto the metal chair as he strapped both of my hand and feet to the chair unable to get out. Then he twist the number of volts that he wanted to inflict on me and as for the rest all he had to do was to press the button watching his grandchild being electrified by the metal chair thinking this would someday make me immune to electricity which it did.
After three hours of sitting in the electric chair my grandfather comes back to the basement to ask if the pain was ok and if it did he would turn it up even higher the next day. Which I always answered truthfully that the pain was always bearable he was always happy with my result and the progress of my training. The next thing he would do is make me drink tons of poisonous things for me to become immune to most poisons which once again it did.
Because of the training I had with him since I was a little kid I had become his most valuable assets. After all, I was able to endure and surpass all the training he had gave me. If someday I had completed his training by then I would have become a monster that he wanted me to become. The one thing that my grandpa has taught me when I hunt for my prey its
Don't feel and just kill.
By the end of the day all my body parts will feel numb and empty. My mind was in the state of calmness than I was ever before but something in me was also replaced, blood thirst. There were something off in the training today something doesn't seem right.
"My beloved Lumia you have finally completed the final state of the training," Grandpa said smiling. "You'll become a great Lumia boss."
And it hit me one vial of the poison doesn't taste right. "Grandpa what did you do?"
"I simply put my blood into one vial of the poison making you become something great." Every core of my body was burning as if it was on fire. My visions was clouded slowly turning red everything that I hear was so loud and it made me very angry. My throat was so thirsty.
"Grandpa why?" The world turned for a second forcing my knee to drop to the floor.
"It's all for the greater good of the Lumia family with my blood you have become full fledged boss of the Lumia family. It's a tradition and you passed. I always had faith in you Erica, and I was right to put you in the position as boss of our Lumia."
"What's happening to me?" I could feel everything that was happening to me fading away, but something in me also changed I felt more comfortable, more calm and more blood thirst. I looked towards my grandpa. "What have you done to me?"
"I simply made you the next heir of the Lumia Family."
No. It turned me into a monster.
