"those are the files on the case" the head of the investigation team, who identified himself as George Wade spoke. Of course, I didn't just walk in and demand info - at first, they were rude -it was fun watching their face contort in fear when they realized I was the infamous Olivia hank, I only hoped those idiots hadn't portrayed me as a scary murderer. oops, I guess I was one.
I smiled, as I collected the file, when bickering behind me caught my attention, I turned to see what the whole commotion was about, and it was a girl, no less than twelve years, trying to convince the officer that she was.....raped.
Rage filled me, how could he? Her thoughts matched her words, some monster had indeed raped her, this whole scenario reminded me of twelve years ago, when I had begged and cried and wailed, but it all fell on deaf ears, it was always rare to find someone that dared to listen, but those that dared to act, they are extinct
"she's saying the truth" I finally spoke up, causing them to advert their attention to me.
"and who are you?" the man queried, apparently we hadn't had an introduction "Olivia Hank, -the outcast" yes, you heard me clearly, I was going to bear that title but this time, with a Different cause, cause I wasn't cursed, I was blessed -apparently.
"Ma'am? I'm sorry about that" The man chuckled nervously. I frowned, not finding anything humorous, I tied up my hair in a bun before looking the man dead in the eyes "I want you to personally handle this case, and I want that man behind bars"
"I'm sorry ma'am, but this is a state-" he began, probably trying to tell me that I don't have enough authority to command them. I smiled, before resting my hand on his desk "who controls the state?" I asked tauntingly "the king" The man replied effortlessly but confused
"that's just perfect." I said as I flashed my badge in front of him, causing his jaw to drop "now, I want the complete case file tomorrow, thank you" I said smiling as I walked out heading down the road, Fluxia hadn't changed, not one bit, the people in power were still oppressing the people. It was sad, but it was the least they deserved.
"Ma'am!" a familiar voice called out, I stopped and turned to see the girl, looking at her now, she was really pretty, she had long blonde hair and blue eyes, Though she seemed thin and underweight, she was a beautiful child.
"thank you," the girl said, looking into my eyes I had been lost in thought, I smiled at the girl, before speaking
"what are you thanking me for?" I asked genuinely confused, it was the job of the police to take care of the citizens.
"for saving my life," she said with a small smile, but it soon turned upside down "h-how did you know I was saying the truth, my mother didn't believe me but you-"
"darling, it is one thing to hear the story, and another to understand the pain that comes with it, I understand you,"
"were you-" she began and her eyes widened, she placed her hand over her mouth before she mumbled "I'm sorry"
"do you want to talk about what's going on? After all, I do understand you" I said, I felt like we had a connection, this girl, around the saw age as I was, society wasn't giving me a chance to explain, but I would
"my stepfather, he.. he's the man." that was all she said, I found a bench nearby and we sat in silence for a few minutes "I hate her... " she mumbled and I couldn't hear her clearly but I heard the next part loud and clear "I hate Lyric hans" My eyes widened, what could I have done to her? "why? Why do you hate her"
"if she hadn't killed my father, my mother would have never gotten married again"
I was about to speak before Vernon's earlier words rang through my ears.
They had families!
A tear slipped my eyes, this... This was my fault. How many more, we're like her, suffering because I was alive. The guilt I had borne for so many years weighed down on me like bricks, I was frozen. Completely frozen.
There was a tingle on my neck like someone was watching us, I stayed still, not wanting to alert the person
"she killed him, she murdered him, and she didn't even have a body for goodbye! She's a monster, and I'm sure she's behind whatever is going on now" the girl said as tears stung her eyes
"madam, you are such a nice person, please...forget the case, and help me with one thing.. "
"what's that?" I asked carefully as she stood up to leave
"please no matter what, murder lyric Hans, and avenge my father and my Virginity" with that she walked away.
I almost laughed at my misery, that girl had just asked me to kill myself, what an irony, 10 years ago, when I desperately wanted to die, Charlotte had begged me to live, and now... I couldn't help but think that that might have been a big mistake.
I gripped the file, as I entered a taxi, which was free because of my badge, and headed for the apartment that was reserved for me. The ride didn't take too long cause thirty minutes later the car pulled up at a pretty house, I picked up my things and got out of the car before walking towards the house. After cross-checking that this was the place, I slid in the keys and entered. the aura from before and the tingle was present, I eyed the whole place, and the faint sound of breathing caught my attention, my eyes glowed, I wasn't alone.
I slowly walked in the direction of the sound, I caught sight of boots
Aha!
In one swift move I tackled the person to the ground and pulled the mask off, and I came face to face with the last person I wanted to see...
Cole Vermin.
