She shook her head, snapping out of her thoughts. She didn't want to remember anymore, because of the painful way her mother died. She had told herself that she would not remember a thing that happened until the time was right to implement justice.
She sat on her bed, on the edge with her two palms plastered on it. She bent down and stared lifelessly at her labs. Her mother was her everything, her all and the reason why she held on living. But now she was dead, it seemed everything about her died with her.
Her chest was heaving, from a slow pace to a massive one. Only the thought of her did this, talk more of when she had nightmares. It had been a constant thing to have a bad dream, more like a clear vision of what had happened to her mother. But she was not going to act foolish, that was the last wish of her mother. At least she had a reason, and she had told her before she passed away.
Her bed was small, which fit perfectly into the room like a carton house. This wasn't the room she was born with. She remembered vividly when she was asked to move to this room by her father.
She was still barely five years, she had moved for her sister to occupy it. That was when she was still noticing the signs of her powers, when she was still playing with flowers and other things dance to her tone. But she was unaware that she was the only one who possessed those powers. She thought perhaps, that others did too, for her to have it maybe her parents did.
She laid down on her bed and took the duvet up to her chin. The way her brother acted really made her angry, plus the fact that she was caged to release wrath. If not for her mother, things would have been different by now.
Her eyes lids started to close and she wrapped her left arm over her face. She always slept like that, since there was no one to cuddle, she could at least do that herself.

Lucan stood in the forest, with a binocular in his hands. He moved it to his eyes to have a clear view of the entire forest. He was here to hunt with his favorite brother, and the entire game would be for him.
They both had played a game of which he lost to him, and the price was for him to hunt down an animal of his like. He agreed immediately because it was nothing to him. He is a powerful warrior and catching games were like catching a fly.
He finally saw one, an antelope that was very big. It was following a small lizard and he looked at his brother who was busy taking pictures.
" Ezekiel." He called, and he waved to him." I have found you a meat. So come over here."
" Really?" Ezekiel said, smiling broadly and revealing his gab tooth. He walked up to his elder brother and grabbed the binoculars from him. His eyes nearly bulged out from it's socket as he said next, " Oh my! This is a great meat bro, I sure want this so go get it."
Lucan looked at him squarely before hitting him playfully on his head. He took back the noclars from him and slowly brought down his bag from his shoulder.
" You are crazy if you think I'm going to kill this alone." Lucan told him, before he dragged him along.
" Nah...That was not the initial agreement bro." Ezekiel said, as he shrugged out of his grasp. " You are alone on this man, so go for it."
" Then you surely don't need the game. I will find another animal that is less difficult to kill for you." Lucan told him and he smirked at him.
" No, you won't do that. We made a deal, remember?" Ezekiel said, as he furrowed his forehead. " Or I will broadcast to the world that you lost to me. The Mighty Lucan lost to him, it will be a moment to remember." And he burst out laughing, his eyes went in as he did that and Lucan watched lovingly.
He had loved him more than their other siblings, and it was the same for him too. He smiled at him before joining in the laughter.
" All the girls that had been dying to have you will come to me." He continued, and he stretched his arms and beat his chest playfully.
" Dreams, keep dreaming." Lucan said, and he burst out laughing again. " They would think I just allowed you win, who would ever imagine that I would ever lose to you? You, slim goat hahaha."
" Ahhh! He's so full of himself, is he? Wait till you see the table turn. Then will reality dawn on you and all those babies will come to me."
" You and women! You don't ever get tired of having them? "
" Why should I?" Ezekiel said, as he spread his hands. " Do a bread ever get tired of yeast? If that is the case, bread won't ever rise."
" And when did you become a bread brother?"
" I didn't say I was. I was only being logical here."
" Mr Logic have them all if you like, I don't care. They don't interest me as it is."
" What about Mila?" Ezekiel said, as he took the binoculars to his eyes again. He didn't want his brother to notice how nervous he was, at least for now he needed to confirm whether or not Lucan had feelings for her."
" And what about her, Is she not a friend?" He smiled to himself, he had always noticed the interest in his eyes anytime she came around. He didn't want to prop him to say anything, so he waited for him.
" Oh! Is she?" Ezekiel said, before turning back to him. " Look, the animal is gone."
" That's all thanks to you, Mr Logic."
