The rain was a drizzle and the night was cold. Lucy sat on the couch not covering herself, the cold wasn't her problem, it didn't matter. The thought that her life wasn't going to be the same.
She sighed, she didn't want this… never wanted it. "Fuck! I didn't want this", she said screaming.
"I know ,right? No one wanted it". Someone said and she looked up quickly to see the same woman she had bumped into several days ago.
"How did you get in?" She asked, feeling scared and annoyed at the same time. "Oh, you left the door open, baby"
"Why are you here? What did I do to you? Answer me!" She said standing but the woman pushed her back on the couch. "I told you we'd meet again, slave of darkness"
"What do you mean, I'm a slave of darkness?" She asked, irritated.
"Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm the one destined to kill and nullify evil"
"Fucking say who you are". This old lady was testing her patience, even though she was useless to Iris, she could defend herself and well, smash people's heads into the window.
"Cordelia, darling, I'm Cordelia"
When she had those words… those names, the hair on her skin stood. That feeling of fear creeped into her skin piercing through her soul. She moved back, but the woman made no move to harm, she just watched her shaking her head and chuckling like a young teenager who had just been asked out by the hottest kid in school. Lucy almost forgot this woman was a thousand years old.
"Don't be scared, Iris must have spoken so bad about me"
"What do you want from me?" She asked, still scared.
"I want to help you… I want to free you from this evil you don't want", she said, stretching her hand for Lucy to hold.
She didn't.
Cordelia sighed deeply. "Emily was eager to get pregnant and she went to the witches and got pregnant through dark magic. The morhan clan had committed treason and was wiped out by the blue moon and Dark armour clan. Emily ran away and before she died, she gave birth to her, your master, Iris". She looked at her nails and continued as Lucy listened attentively.
"She was a daughter of darkness brought to humanity to destroy and she was cursed that at the sight of blood, she'd turn into a beast and that she turns people into her slave"
"So why are you telling me all these? How would you set me free". Lucy shut her eyes and sighed, she needed to take a big step, all she wanted was her normal life back.
"The only way to stop all these, is to kill her and you'd be free. You're not the first person she's turned into her slave and you won't be the last!"
"I just want my life back"
"Then, sweetheart, tell me where she was taken to"
Lucy hesitated, but she wanted her life back… her normal life back. Screw her Father or Iris, she was a slave in the hands of both of them. All she wanted was her freedom.
She just wanted to be free.
"She was taken to the station, soon to be taken to the lab for testing", she said, closing her eyes.
"Thank you, Lucy, you'll get your life back. If we leave you she might come for you, come I'll keep you safe"
Lucy nodded and followed her. She didn't know if it was an evil spirit that was making her do this or the drive for freedom, but something within her told her she wasn't safe and she was going to regret it.
But who cared, her life was nothing after all.

Jacob sat trying to think but Drella was panicking. "She's going to kill us, mi amore, Iris might die and you know what that means… Muerte", she said and he shrugged.
"Calm down , Drella, no vamos a morir". He kissed her lips trying to calm her down. She sat down putting her head on his shoulders, Ling rolled her eyes.
"I have a feeling, Iris is in trouble and needs our help"
"Help? That mother fucker abandoned us in our time of trouble and now she needs our help? She better not die!" It was Jayson, he was seated looking at his nails, lost in thoughts.
"Calm down Jayson, we'll leave this hellhole soon", ling said trying to comport herself
"This hellhole? That bastard caused all these. Iris is a bastard! She's a mother fucking bast…"
"Don't call her that, she's not!" Jacob hit him making him hit his head. His nose began bleeding. "Bitch", he muttered trying to calm down.
"You should respect her, Jayson, you were fucking lonely and she made you who you are!"
Jayson looked at him surprised, how did he know that? "How did you know that?" He asked and Jacob shook his head.
"That's same way I knew about Ling, she made you feel better and not alone and you, Drella, she made you what you are", he said and wiped his face.
"We should be fudging grateful and look for how we'd help her not curse her", he said and they nodded except Jayson who but his lips and thought…
He's right, if it wasn't for Iris I would've been dead years ago.

"Cordelia is back and did you see the news, Iris was taken". Someone said probably reporting an incident to his superior.
"What?!" Joseph said taking his phone and calling Lucy. It went straight to voicemail. He was worried. "Have you seen her?"
"Who, chief"
"Lucy! The one that I told you to protect? Have you seen her? Did you fucking watch her?!" He growled.
"Well, when you stopped talking to her I felt it was unnecessary to…". Joseph used his claws to destroy the young innocent boy's face.
"You thought it unnecessary? Find her and make sure she's fucking safe!" He growled as the boy ran to get his duty done.
"Fuck!"
