I stumbled as I reached another wall, the regions were divided by ancestral walls, it was to provide peace, it was then I realized I was miles away from Flux. I smiled looking around fatigue came over me and I fell, but what I never expected was to be caught by a certain brown-haired boy.
I stared at him shocked.
I look at him again, carefully reading his mind trying to find any sort of crack in his demeanor anything that suggested he was kidding... He was not. Blaire was....no. I can't... I won't
"Lyric-" before he could say anything else I ran off, running down the stairs and into the house, I ran straight into my room and I locked the door, wrote stuffing a few important things into a diddle bag as well as the gold I had won earlier. I stared out the window, pain piercing me like sharp arrows,
"Leelee?" Charlotte called out from outside my door, I stood up, trying to compose myself as I walked towards the door. I took in a deep breath before proceeding to open the door, my eyes met Charlotte's they were Wet and reddened, no words needed to be said, the silence between us said it all, and in a split second we were in each other embrace, crying silent tears, "don't.. Please don't leave, what.. What if they kill you? I won't be able to live without you, what about Ariana?" she said as she pushed the ten-year-old girl who I hadn't noticed forward "Leelee, are you leaving me?"
I rested on the door frame trying to stay strong this had to be done, I knelt and held her hand.
"my love, sometimes life forces us to do something's, it gives us no choice, it's either I go, or we all get hurt, and I cannot risk that"
"but that's not fair!" Charlotte yelled. "they abandoned you, they wanted you dead, what do they want now?" she said her voice lower
"I'll have to find out," I said as I returned to my room to retrieve my duffle bag and my sword like trion, Blaire had designed it. oh yes like I said Balxians were swordsmen too.
"aren't you going to say goodbye to mother?" Charlotte asked pain evident in her eyes
"I won't be able to, I don't have the strength to," I said as I kissed her head as well as Ariana's before jumping out the window.
*******************************
I stared at the vague view of the walls of flux even at a distance it was clear. I couldn't help but smile, I recalled being rebellious when I was young, I and my sister...
My sister
I wasn't even sure I was supposed to call her that anymore. after all she had abandoned me when I needed her the most, then again, to be honest, everyone abandoned me. Nobody wanted to help the girl with the weird lux.
I had always felt alone. Like it was me versus the world. And for some reason, the other team always won, not this time though. I wasn't going to let anyone walk all over me like 12 years ago.
I continued walking, having ditched my ride as I wanted to take in the environment I was stepping into, after all, for all I know, the driver could have been a fluxian - that I wanted to avoid.
The breeze blew my hair, and as is struggled to tie it back into a ponytail, I heard footsteps behind me. Loud. Brisk. And aggressive ones.
Before I had time to react I was tackled to the ground by what I would call a hairless animal - Luxons, The protectors of Flux, they are animals that are formed through a large amount of lux, from the Elites of the kingdom. I grunted as it growled and we both stumbled on the grass, the soil cold and unwelcoming, but the thick scent of what I once called home was still evident. It was as if time hadn't passed, and like it was yesterday when I was throughout of her, the animal on top of me seemed to remind me of my present predicament - my ability to read minds gone down the drain as I am faced with a beast whose only objective is to completely and effectively devour me - slowly, might I add.
I kicked it, my power levels being higher than an average person, it rolled before regaining battle position, staring at me with a familiar look, the look you would give a stranger, that's right. This wasn't home anymore, these people weren't family, they were strangers, who have asked me to come here against my will, after threatening my family with a war.
My eyes glowed a familiar red, but before I could rip the beast apart it vanished, "what the-"
"hey!" A thick voice called out, annoyed but seemingly relieved I looked up in the direction of the person I supposed called off the beast, and my oh my, wasn't this a sight, It was an Elite, the glaze mark which graced the person's hand was more than enough, The person was Well built, and had a square-shaped face, brown curly hair and green orbs, the kind of guy Charlotte would die for - not me.
"Hey, you!" I yelled at him, the evaluation finally over, " no one ever taught you to mind your own business?" I spat. Irritated. The last thing I wanted was help from Aluxians.
"is that how you thank me? After all, I did save your life" he taunted as he came closer his green orbs hypnotic and our eyes locked, I broke contact almost immediately before this guy had me in a fantasy trance.
"and who told you I needed saving, I was fine!" I bit back seemingly more irritated.
"yeah, you were gone, after all, a beast-like was no big deal for a stranger" he taunted once again.
"I'm not-" I held back my tongue, I didn't want to say something I would regret, yes this was once my home, but as he said, I was a stranger now, and this was reality. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath...
"you know what, I don't have the energy nor the patience to a guy with you, so if you will exc-"
"I'm sorry, I can't let you pass, after all, you are a stranger, who are you and where are you
from?" he said as his lux formed into a lion, he was an Anyone, anones were Fluxian who's lux would form animals.
"I can't believe this" I mumbled.
"I'm struggling to decide, are you stupid? Or are you busy trying to impress me with that?" I asked completely irritated, I didn't come this far to have a chit-chat with this idiot, who might I add, seems like a shovnist. and talk about myself.
"that.." he said. Looking at my chest, I was about to call him out for being a pervert, but then he added "that symbol.... You.. You are a Fluxian?" he asked and I was frozen to the spot. My hands immediately went to the scrag that had always graced my neck, it was gone. I must have lost it during the struggle. This... This was not supposed to happen.
