A single flame in the rain

CHAPTER SIX

Ingrid stood there with her eyes closed, waiting. The young girls roughly grabbed her hand and slowly started to skin her, Ingrid winced as the cool metal tore through her skin. Ingrid eyes snapped open but they weren't the usual mismatched colour, no , now her eyes were glowing red, her pupils dilated and lost, almost lifeless. The only emotion in her eyes was rage as she stalked her prey, Clua and Anuli. The two girls looked frightened, their legs shaking with fear but even so, held their heads up with pride. " You.. you.. what do you think your doing" Anuli stammered " My dad's a council man of the city..if.. if you hurt me.. your gonna.. your gonna regret it " she said backing away. Ingrid continued to walk towards them, blood dripping down her hands. She narrowed her eyes at Clua who shook in fear and fell to the ground. Desperately backing away, the knife she held clattering to the ground. She slowly bent down and picked up, playing with it between her fingers as the girls screamed in terror.

Mito and Cyrisi looked at the young energetic little girl, they wondered how is it a girl who was constantly stuck in a cage while her people were being killed managed to be so optimistic and bare no malicious thoughts towards them or their kind.

The two had excused themselves to go to the the restroom but when they went back to the car the girl was gone. They asked around the parking lot and they had said she had left for the bathroom with the ' Acuuna ' twins. They slowly started panicking, the twins were known for their dislike for human and how envious they were of them. They quickly ran to find the ' girls ' bathroom. As they ran to the hallways they heard two young girls scream, they tracked were the sound was coming from. They entered the bathroom and saw Ingrid holding one of the twins by the hair while she shoves the others head into the toilet with her foot. The two men were shocked, they ran towards Ingrid pulling her back, which was hard with her enormous strength. She fought them tooth and nail, putting her martial arts skills to use, kicking, punching and elbowing whatever was in her line of view. The shorter of the two pulled out a needle and stuck it in her arm, minutes after fighting them she slowly slipped into an unconscious state.

They carried the little girl into the car and drive off to ' Krstic Pharmaceuticals '.

The two man handed her over to the doctor who put her in a pod " There seems to be a spike in the Killio gene, sir " Mira, the AI said.

The doctor looked at the same unconscious girl infront him. " Check her vitals " he commanded.

" Her vitals are normal, Dr Fliora, It seems the attack in the bathroom, triggered the violent nature of a Azurian dragon, which was part of the chemical solution in the Killio gene " The doctor continued to look at the girl with a concerned expression. " Call Mr. Chikabora we have some business to discuss " he said walking out of the room.

~ two days later ~

Ingrid was sitting in class looking out the window, her arm healed rather quickly and the two girls were expelled. Ingrid was bored out of her mind, no one bothered to talk to her, they were too scared and thought she was too weird. The bell rang and signalling the end of class, Ingrid put back her previous books and pulled out her Maths books. As they waited for the teacher to arrive, the students started moving around, talking to their friends and sitting on the desk. Ingrid just sat back watching her classmates socializing and scoffed, she thought it primitive and unnecessary to have emotional attachments to anyone, especially if she was going to be used as a weapon, she didn't want to have a weakness, someone people could use against, it was better if she had nothing to lose.

A tall green girl who had four limbs, red hair and blue eyes walked towards her. " Can I help you? " she asked.

" I was wondering, do you have any friends? " The tall six foot alien asked.

" Would you want to be friends with the pretty little human, no, didn't think so " Ingrid said, uninterested in the conversation.

" Well, I'm Penny. I'm easy to remember and I do want to be your friend " she said holding out her hand to me.

" I don't need a friend " she said pushing her hand away. She looked back towards the door as the teacher entered. The alien girl sat back down on her chair feeling sad and disappointed. The class went by fast and the bell rang and Ingrid wasted no time, jumping up and running out the door.

She felt a vibration in her bag as she sat down on the chair in the cafeteria. She pulled out her phone and read the text.

Ingrid sighed, two day at being a normal teenager and they are are already giving her a mission. Shari, Shari, Shari. The name sounded familiar to her. Then she figured it out, Penny Shari, daughter billionaire business mogul, Dill Shari. She sighed once more, Penny already wanted to be her friend, she slowly smirked, this was going to be easier than she thought.

*** Cassandra p.o.v ***

I had spent two weeks on this ship and I had learnt three things. Don't talk unless spoken to, keep your head down and be submissive and if my sister has taught me anything is that ' no matter the pain, don't lose yourself, don't change yourself ' and no matter how many times they whip me, beat me and threaten me, I won't change myself. The memory of my sister is keeping me strong, her voice is what encourages me to fight because I know this isn't forever, I know she is coming for me. So I must stay true to myself, for her.

I sat in my 'cell ' with my eyes closed as the cell door opened. In walked a man with titanium white skin with black markings on his face and silver eyes and platinum blonde hair, he was lean but muscular and was six ft two, he walked in and roughly grabbed my hand and dragged me out the room. I shook in fear, what was going to me, I thought. The man led me to a dark room with control panels and switches. " Sit " the man grunted. I obeyed with no hesitation as the man left the room. I looked around the room and walked towards the the big table with buttons and panels. I looked the keyboard and figured that it was the navigation system. I thank my sister for teaching me all types of alien languages as I fix a new destination, I hear heavy footsteps and I quickly pressed buttons and pushed down the panel as I felt the ship tilt a little, I quickly ran back to my sitting place. Five men entered and stared at me with cold eyes, I slowly gulped and a could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.
