《Gotham, I'm Back》~ 7.~
Advertisement
I knocked on the door to Alix's room and after hearing a "come in" walked in. Without hesitation I went straight to the problem.
--You didn't say what you had on mind, at dinner. Why?--
--It's because of Marinette. You see the girl, Lila, bullies Marinette. She and my classmates went even so far, that one day they beat her up and left her in an alley to die. We got to her a few minutes later, she ended up being in a coma for a week.--
--Why didn't you say it?--
--Mari doesn't want anybody to be worried about her and her problems.--
--Okay, I'll talk to her, thanks for telling me.-- I said with a small smile and went to Mari's room. She was sitting with Damian and Chloe talking about something,so I just said:
--Mari, can I talk to you in private?--
--Sure, why?--
--I'll tell you, come with me.--
We went to the library I had in a secret room, sat down and I told her about my power of reading people's memories. She agreed to let me try, so I touched her forehead and concentrated on her past. Once I went through her memories from the past three years I gasped.
--C-could you tell me everything Lila lied about, that you remember?--
She listed about sixty things when she got to the heroes day call.
--When was it?--
--What?--
--Heroes Day.--
-- 24 April.--
--And how long was Lila gone?--
--For months. From the first week of March to two months after.--
-- It was three years ago right?--
--Yes.--
As soon as she said it my vision got blurred and I stumbled into a wall, with my last common sense I pressed the panic button on my bracelet and broke down crying on the floor in a panic attack. After of what felt like forever I faintly heard Bruce, and my siblings bursting into the room, and talking. I suddenly remembered everything from when my nanny told me that my parents are in the hospital. The news that everyday their state got worse, and finally their death. Their funeral, the depression, the anxiety, the panic attacks and nightmares. Then... I heard music. Violin, my favorite instrument. I made out Cassandra's voice and could feel my cats rubbing their heads against my legs. I was slowly calming down and when I thought that I was okay, I fainted.

I woke up on my bed, I looked at the watch and it read midnight. I blinked a few times and figured out Fury's and Jason's outlines. With a faint voice I said:
--Jay?--
-- Cocoa, you're up. I have to call the rest of the family.--
--No, don't wake them up. I'm fine, just a bit shaken.-- Fury cuddled into me and Jason asked:
-- What happened? Your last panic attack was like a year ago.--
-- Lila. S-she killed, she killed my parents.--
-- But I thought it was the car crash.--
--Actually no. Well, they did end up in an accident, but after they were in the hospital, each day their health got worse. It happened 3 years ago, between March and May. It can't be a coincidence, that it was the same time period when Lila was out of school.--
-- Why not?--
--Look, her name isn't Lila, it's Maria. She had a sister named Lila, but she died from cancer. And she isn't 16, she's 18. I met her on one of my trips to Italy with mom. She somehow thought that I was a threat, when I started pointing out her lies of her fabulous life. She started beating and insulting me along with her "friends". I was relieved when me and mom went back here.--
--When was it?--
-- Twelve years ago. We were six.--

I woke up for the fifth time this night. I guess I'm not gonna have any sleep. My eyes adjusted to the faint light and I made out Marinette's figure.
--Mari? Wht are you doing here?--
--I told Jason to go to sleep and took turns on watching over your sleep. Bruce told me that after panic attacks you usually have nightmares.--

--Thanks Mar. I suppose Jason told you about my parents.--
--Yeah, he did.--
She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
--Go get some sleep, I'll be fine. I was meaning to get up anyway.--
--No, I'm okay.--
--If you say so, but you are still getting a nap later. For now, what do you say about some special coffee and cookies?--
--Sure, that would be great.--
We walked to the kitchen and I prepared coffee for Marinette and some cocoa for me. We took out the cookies and sat down by the bar.
--You know, this thing is really good, why aren't you drinking it?--
--I'm allergic to coffee, although grandpa Alfred taught me how to make it, in case of a Tim emergency.--
We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes and I asked.
--Can I tell you something?--
--Another secret?-- She said with a smile.
--Yeah, I have quite a lot.-- At this Memory walked in with Alfred the cat, Fury and Batman the cat.
--Sure, go ahead.--
--Well do you see her eyes?-- I said pointing at Fury.
--Yeah, and?--
--Well.-- I said taking off my contacts. -- I have the same color.--
--Wow, they're beautiful.--
-- I know, wait did you say beautiful?--
--They're really nice.--
--Hmm, they usually scare people, that's why I wear contacts.--
-- I still think they're nice.--
--Thanks Mari.--
--Is it a good time to tell you that I'm going to be your tour guide alongside Dick on today's WE tour?--
--You work at WE?--
--Yeah, I'm in the architectonic department.--
--Wow.--
--If I were dad, I would give you an internship, but I can see you're doing perfectly fine as MDC.--
--You know?--
--Yeah, I hacked Damian's phone and saw your text. I was curious who made him happier.--
--So, your a tech person.--
--I'm learning a lot from Tim.--
--Oh my it's 7 already. I think I have to get ready for the tour.--
--Meet me here after, and we can make breakfast for the sleepheads.--

The Demon King said to call him Papa
Warning: There is abuse and extreme trauma in the beginning of this story."This is the first time I've seen a human as small as you." I lightly flinched at the cold words as I stared at the ground; to afraid to look up at the intimidating man. I could tell that he was different from the other monsters that circled around me.But I no longer cared about my life anymore. No one cared about me, no one will miss or even be sad about my death except for Five, but he was no longer here anymore."Human." The man speaks to me as I continued to stare at the ground. "Look up."I bit my lip and shook my head, I wasn't allowed to look at any adult- if I did, I would be hit. Dull pain started to prick my chest as I waited to die, I couldn't even felt the cuts on my legs from those people who left me here anymore.Suddenly, feet appeared in my sight and was joined by legs as the man kneeled down in front of me and curled a long white finger around my chin and gently lifted my head up.I closed my eyes tightly as my body started to tremble and curl up in preparation for the beating that surely was coming. Moments pass but nothing happens. I slowly open my eyes and met the vibrant purple eyes that stared into mine. I start to pull away as he reached up to brush my hair out of my face, flinching as he touched my skin and revealed the ugly burn that I had received two years ago. "Who did this?" He asks as he gazed at the scar.A girl who was abused and mistreated all her life has transmigrated into another world; only to have the same thing happen again. She was later abandoned as a meat shield against demons and thought that her second life was going to end.However, the powerful and indifferent Demon King meets her which changes her fate drastically.

The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin."Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance...I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates
