Damon POV (same time as when Lory leaves the HQ)
Thank you, sorry had something to attend to. Bye. 😄
I crumbled the piece of paper and stuck the hundred dollar bill into my pocket. It had been two days since that incident and today I had gotten a call hotel that I had left a hundred dollar bill there. Of course, I insisted on them to take it as a tip, but they kindly declined and mentioned that it was against their Hotels regulations, so they made me come all the way day to pick up a 'letter' and hundred dollar bill.
Ring ring ring.
"Hello? Jenny, you won't believe what Jessica said.." A teenager gossiped with her friend over the phone I zoned out and looked out of the bus window, it was really unfortunate that my car wasn't working properly today out of all days. The bus stopped and an elementary group came filing in with their teachers.
" Polly is so stupid, look at her." I listened as I guess a few children bullied their classmates.
"I can't believe she is so happy on her Birthday, just because she is smart she thinks she is better than all of us.Just because she skipped a grade."
A girl looking like serious type, but cute at the same time, I had to admit she was very adorable. She shook her head at the Girl who was mean to her, she looked like a mature 8-year-old, beautiful blond hair and dark brown eyes.
"Look because I am in a good mood I will overlook your stupidity and forgive you just this once, so if you have any remaining brain cells just turn around and let me be. One more thing learn to talk to people face- to face and not behind their backs it just shows that you arent't matured enough to be called a 9-year-old. Take advice from a 8-year-old it might help you out in life."
The so called Polly turned don her heel and ignored the rest of the class.I looked at the teachers who were on their phones playing some sort of game.
Polly looked ahead not caring about how people where still bad-mouthing her behind her.
"She is so weird." Polly seemed to snap at the moment as she turned around again looking fed up. I was starting to think that this was a make-up for all those times I couldn't finish the dramas I had been watching with with my sister as a sibling time.
"First off I am not weird I just fall outside your exceptionally narrow view of the world.
Second off I'm not a smart-butt I'm sarcastic and have a smart-butt attitude. It's a natural defense against drama, stupidity and nonsense.
Third Just because I am quiet doesn't mean I am stupid it just means I don't deal with stupid people like you.
Last but not least If I were so stupid as you said I was then how come did I getter score than you on our last test that was meant for my age mates?
So instead of talking like you are Google I would reflect on your actions and man up and apologize."
Things turned drastically,when the Kid who insulted Polly first opened their mouth again.
"Well I heard you were adopted, you know y mother told me that sixteen percent of adopted kids turn out to be killers and honestly I am starting to see you as part of those sixteen percent."
I clenched my jaw ready to step in when Polly took a step forward.
"Do you find this funny? Are you feeding off the bad aura you are creating in this bus. Look I wasn't blessed with the best biological parents ever ,but honestly the more I think about it the more I have realized that I would give up my biological parents anytime for my parents do you know why? Because since I started living with this family I have come to realize that they are the best family anyone could ever receive be it as a gift or punishment. I might have created a huge sin in my past life but I would repeat that sin over and over again to be with this family again. I have the best parents, the most amazing brother, the best cousin who can destroy all of you with her beauty, my other cousin who is the most talented and most brilliant person ever, my uncle who is more powerful than any superhero out there, a stupid uncle with the biggest heart in the universe, who might I add is a pure bundle of joy. This is what I call family so you are in no position to ever, mark my words ever pull me down because I was adopted. And just for your information they choose to adopt someone, how are you so sure that they chose to have you?
So never badmouth my family you walking twig."
The walking twig jumped at Polly, she pulled at her hair and bit her hand furiously, Polly pushed the girl of her as she hit a pole, it was then the teachers noticed the situation at hand, they rushed towards the twig and shouted at Polly. I got oof my chair and walked towards them.
"Polly this isn't the first time you have harmed a child. the same one as a matter of fact." She grabbed her arm tightly as she dragged her out of the bus the kids rushed out, Polly was trashing and kicking screaming out of her long.
"Polly, behave I am reporting this too your Father and principal, I will make sure you get counseling for this, this is unacceptable."
I got off the bus.
"The res of you you can go home now Ariel stay behind please"
"Excuse me." The teacher flipped her head to me.
"Did you ask?" The teacher furrowed her eyebrows at me.
"Ask what? If you don't have any thing reasonable to tell me please back off."
"Did you ask her why she pushed her? Did you ask what happened? I know you didn't ask, let go off Polly she is innocent, she isn't a wild dog that you have to refrain, let go of her."
"Sir mind your business and run along."
I clenched my jaw and I could feel myself getting agitated.
"Ma'am let go of her and ask what happened." She hesitated again but let go of her.
"So Polly what happened."
Polly stepped back and took out a tissue out of her bag and cleaned up her face.
She told her the whole story and the teacher seemed to process what really happened she apologized to her, I felt satisfied and went my own way.
"Mr. Mr." I heard the tapping shoes of Polly, I turned around to Polly who was panting frantically.
"Thank you."
"No Problem." I was once again leaving when she stopped me again.
"From which base are you?" She must know her things.
"King City"
"What rank are you?"
" Lieutenant General"
" Wow."
"Do you also want to be a soldier?" Her eyes widen and her jaw dropped.
"God no, you see three of my family members are already in the army. Not me though. Mr what is your name?"
"let's keep it a secret but you can call me Dai Dai, got it." I winked at her. " One more thing were did you get your comebacks from?"
"My cousin went through Pinterest with me." I checked the time on my watch, I'm late.
"Oh nice ,I have to go."
" Bye Dai Dai, I hope we see each other again."
"Bye Kiddo."

"This is the Reprensatitive of the Alpha Team in King City, Damon Owens, he is one of our strongest and youngest Leader I hope you see the same potential in him as we in him."
"Ah hello my name is
The Soldiers shook my hand as I didn't think of smiling a tiny bit.
"I have to change to my uniform if you would excuse me." The saluted me and so did I.
I left for the Barracks so I could change my cloths to my uniform and just take a quick shower, I heard a few soldiers gossiping like schoolgirls in the changing rooms.
" Damn Major Lorraine is really hot, I really can't believe that she and Joey are siblings. I mean she is so much more hotter than him. How on earth was her father okay with her being a soldier, she should have become a a celebrity."
"No joke, maybe I should ask Joey for her number you know he could-"
"No Steve, she is first older, second she is our friends sis, and lastly do you think with her looks she doesn't have a boyfriend."
"I bet she would sleep with me- "
I simply shook my head as I left for the training grounds, I was going to train the younger ones. The kids formed lines of 10x5, they were 50 in total.
"Parade Rest." My Voice boomed around the field they all stood in the position I had told them too.
"My name is Damon Owens, Lieutenant General Owens to you, all of you call out your names, starting with you." I pointed my hands at the first on in the row.
"Jake Kaiser, 22"
"Muhamed Reed, 21"
"Steven Glynn, 23"
My eyes stayed on the Steve dude, I rose my hand silencing the soldiers.
"You." He stared to the front not responding to my call, " Steven Glynn."
"Sir. yes sir"
"What were you doing before the Drill?"
"I was in the bathroom.Sir "
"Who were you with?"
"ELliot Ford. Sir"
"What were you guys talking about in the bathroom?"
"Girls, sir."
I nodded as he stepped back, I memorized his appearance and his name making sure to put him in my memor.
----------------------------
"Mr. Owens"
I turned to a man in his late 40s, he was clearly a soldier in Queen City.
"Yes?"
He saluted me and I responded with a salute of my own
"The Meeting with all the representatives concerning your mission in Malovia, be here at 1pm prompt please."
"Yes, Thank you."
The man left as I went on my own way leaving the HQ.-
------------------------
My phone kept buzzing in my pocket, I fished my phone out as I picked up without checking the caller ID.
"You Rascal." My sisters voice pierced through my phone. Although she was younger by 8 years she always acted like the older sibling.
"How could you come back and not call or visit us I had to find out from Michael that you came back, you stupid , ignorant jerk. Can't you answer when someone is talking to you?"
"When did you give me the chance to actually ta-"
"Now you are even talking back at me." This girl was crazy to the core, it couldn't be helped anymore, she must have lost her remaining braincells while I was gone.
"Dad said you should visit he mis-"
"I'm not coming, how's Mom?"
"Ummm she is stable again, but she won't talk to anyone except to me and the cook. She has neglected dad, she is always working. The Doctor said we have to get her some physiological help as to why she chose to SM (selective mutism). Doctor said she should interact with family first, you should probably come over here and see her she has been wanting to see you. By the way don't mention Dad she recently also figured out that he has a mistress. She even has the audacity to show up here once in a while, then she formally introduced herself as the next wife to him. Mom hasn't been eating well since then, so come home. Rascal " I clenched my teeth as I prepared to see my mother in her worst state again.
"Daria."
"Yes?"
"I'll be there in a few."
"Mom, Mom what are you doing, Susannah what did you tell her. Get out Bitch. Mom -" There was some wailing heard in the background, Moms wailing.
The line cut off as I sped up my pace running trying to be at my moms side.
-------------------
It's been twenty years since it started, Dad had always been very traditional in terms of marriage and lifestyle, so traditional that it has become suffocating to the point that my mother has tried to kill her self after enduring for 16 years. First, he had made my mom quit her dream job when she was an uprising author, then he made her a housewife, restricted her from seeing anybody except for people from wealthy families for his own benefits, he almost made my sister give up on school because she was a girl which lead to the fight we have had since six years. Painful years that lead to who my mother was now, who I was now, my father works at a law firm as a directing chief, since 5 years he has been trying to climbing the social ladder aimint to either becoming the president or Vice- President. He dreams big, right?
Due to wanting to wanting to climb up that impossible ladder he had chased out my first love because she was from a way to average family, he talked her down too the point that she lost all the confidence she had in her self. Then she left me saying she never wants to see me ever again, telling me that I was toxic and that was after dating for two years. That was also six years ago on the same time the incident with my sister had happened, if we were by any chance in the same room by accident we would simply ignore each other, it was a hopless relationship that I had given up years ago on.
I knocked on the house door of our old-modern home.
A woman around the same age as my mother opened the door, it was very obvious that she had had very many plastic surgeries.
"Hi my name is Susannah Morris, I'm the wife to be of this household ,you must be Damon. Nice t-"
I pushed the woman aside in search of my family. "Mom."
Sniffling was heard from the kitchen, I ran towards the Kitchen, and what I saw could have killed me instantly. Mom's both wrist whee bandaged beside her Daria was crouching and holding her, her eyes were puffy from all the crying, beside both of the there was knife with blood stains.
Both Mom and my sister were covered in small stains of Blood. The door opened as my Father stomped inside the Kitchen.
"Olive, where is my food?"
My head snapped to Oscar (his dad), my jaw clenched as I tightened my fist, my strong fist kissed the cheek of my Oscar, he stumbled to the ground gripping his cheek that was slowly building a bruise. Daria held me back, Oscar staggered up and threw a punch unto me, yet I totally forgot that Daria was beside me when I doged his punch hit Darias face as she fell to the ground.
She let out an ear piercing scream as her head hit the counter, blood started to ooze out of her skull, I gripped my sister as my mom crawled to us more tears pouring out of her eyes, Dad stepped a step towards us regret clearly in his eyes.
"Don't come closer you monster!!!!!!"
I know this wasn't the time but the first sentence my mother had told my dad was an insult, I was proud- Back to the matter at hand mom fished out Darias phone seeing as she didn't possess a phone, she dialed the ambulance.
I stood still as the Paramedic rolled my sister into the Wagon my Mother following them, while I was driving my mothers old car. Praying and Hoping my sister was okay.
Hope something I hadn't mentioned in years.
Hope.
