navy = flashback
Lina couldn't sleep. She was lying awake, staring at the ceiling, on her side of the gigantic heart, remembering.
She was running and laughing, carefree. The little girl in her cute
school uniform, racing home to show her sister the A+ she got on her very first test.
She rushed inside her house, not paying attention to the big car parked out front, nor
the fact that the door was already open.
"LUNA!" her happy little voice called out. "Luna guess what!" she stopped her head-long
dash once she had reached her sister's side, and had, literally, ran over one of the
unsuspecting villains who had been threatening the violet haried woman.
"Lina." her sister said concerned, and alittle shocked at her youthful strength. Luna
pushed her sibling behind her. "Lina, get out of here. Run and don't look back. I'll find you
later, I promise."
"B.. but Luna."
"I said GO!"
Lina began to retreat, her sister having managed to instill some fear into her young
mind.
"Heh, cute kid ya got there Luna." the arrogant leader chuckled. "Come on over red, I
promise not to hurt you."
"Leave her outta this you bastard." Luna growled.
Lina was quite frightened now. She didn't like the strnger's smile, nor the way his eyes
seemed so cold. She whimpered her sister's name one more time before bolting to the back door.
"After her!" the red haired man cried. His goons lept forward into the chase as Luna was
left behind to do battle with their boss.
Lina ran as fast as her little legs could carry her, out the back door and into the yard.
One of her pursuers attempted to tackle her but missed. His older partner rushed around to
block the far gate. She was trapped. Lina growled, childishly, at her assailents, when they
began to move towrds her.
"Okay Val, I'll kepp her from escaping while you grab the little brat." the older, one
eyed, goon said as he blocked her way.
Val picked himself up, glaring at his comrad, before making his move. he rushed Lina and
grabbed her by the waist. Lina struggled, kicking and hitting, like an angrey cat.
"Arg, Zolf lend a hand." Val ordered, and the other left his post to pich in. Lina landed
a lucky kick to Zolf's head and bit val's hand. With a twin yelp of pain the two dropped their
charge and she was free.
Lina wasted no time, and ran down the side of the house. She was almost clear when an arm
shot out and grabbed her by the back of her uniform.
her previous attackers hurried over to where their boss had captured their prey.
"Sorry Garv, she's a regular hellcat, she is." they appologised.
"That's okay." Garv smirked. "She'll be worth a pretty penny, I've no doubt."
Lina struggled to no end as the tossed her into their car and drove off.
"Where's my sister you bully!" Lina cried.
"Forget about it kid. You're an only child now." Garv laughed.
Lina bitterly recalled being sold, like a slave, to a burlesk house. How the woman in charge looked at her with cold, calculating eyes. She reminded lina of a vicious wolf. Not like the one I've got now though she thought, smiling. Though Zelas wasn't soo bad.
Lina looked around her new room, trembling and near to tears. A soft
knock came and a petite brunette bounced into the room.
"Oh.. so this is the New Girl." the girl said, brandishing a portugese accent. "You can
call me Gina, but only if you tell me your name."
"L.. Lina. Lina Inverse."
"Well Lina I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is Rizo, Lady Zelas' cuz saw you
come in and he's going to be your first customer. The good news is this," The portugese woman
tossed her a small yellow vile. "It's a special mixture, that I call 'Giga Slave'. One drop
and they're out like a light. Trust me, you'll need it. later."
After she had gone lina was left to contemplate the poison. Within moments the door burst
open nd a young, dark haried boy entered.
"Hellos sweet thang." he laughed. "Pour me a drink would ya. We've got all night to
get... aquainted."
Lina dispised him on sight, and didn't move.
Rizo eyed her wickedly. "You know they don't call me hellmaster for nuthin'." He walked
over and made himself comfortable on the divan. "Now Move Your Skinny Little Ass!"
Lina moved. She seemed to be trapped inside of a robot. Like some higher being was now
incontrol and she was only along for the ride. The higher being knew he would be trouble for
Lina, for the rest of her life. the higher being knew things beyond anyone's imaginings, and
how to deal with them. The higher being used Lina's strong little shell to pour the
hellmaster's drink and spill half of the 'Giga Slave's contents inside. She gave the glass to
the evil boy, who swallowed death greedily. And Lina was safe.
My first kill. Lina thought. After that I got the recipe and started inventing my own mixtures, 'Dragon Slave', 'Fire Ball', etc. Different poisons for different trials. I felt like a bloody sorcerous. I never used the 'Giga Slave' again. Watching him die was just too horrible. she mused.
Lina rolled over and watched her bed mate sleep. He's so sweet. A real gentleman. I beet he'd never ask me to kill anyone. maybe he'd even ... understand.
