Judgement
Vi's pov
I walked into the courtroom in chains. I should have been terrified, but I couldn't care less. I was still in shock. I couldn't believe this was real.
I was taken to stand in front of 5 people I had never seen before. The man in the middle spoke "who represents this one?". " I do" replied a deep commanding voice. I turned slightly to see who this was. I recognised this voice. It was Marcus Vasilliev, the man who saved me.
"She stands accused of killing 9 of your people and you are the one defending her?" The man spoke in a confused tone.
Marcus chuckled "Just because they're wolves, doesn't mean they're mine. Yes she killed all 9 of them, but it was self defense. She also lost control."
How was it self defense and a loss of control? one of the other men asked.
"Councilman Jackson, you of all people should understand this one. You start by defending yourself then you lose control and can't stop." councilman Jackson laughed "very true my friend "
The only woman on the panel leaned forward taking a good look at me. "What I'd like to know, she said, is how a little girl kills 9 adult wolves including an Alpha" ?"
"she's obviously not human" said a man with purple hair. He had just watched me until this point. " Is it true she was raised by humans as if she was one?"
"I was raised by my parents!" I stated. Everyone was staring at me now. Oops I probably shouldn't have said anything.
Marcus leaned over to me "It's not your turn to speak little viper."
I looked at the floor. I didn't want anyone to see me blushing.
"Little Viper, is that what you call her?" asked purple hair. "Her name is Vivica, but watching her take out those wolves, she looked like a viper striking as she tore out their throats. So I call her little Viper. It suits her perfectly." said Marcus with a hint of pride in his voice. Apparently I wasn't the only one to notice. "you sound proud Marcus" the man in the middle said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Actually I'm impressed more than proud councilman Thomas."
Councilman Thomas looked like he was about to loose it himself. But Marcus continued quickly "The wolves murdered her parents in front of her, the Alpha tried to force himself on her. She snapped and killed them all. She was raised a human, had no knowledge of our world and this is how she was introduced to it. So considering the circumstances I'm impressed."
I just stood there and stared at Marcus. Yep he just summed up the last 2 days perfectly. 2 days ago I was normal and happy and now I have no family, found out the supernatural world exists and am on trial for murder. Oh and let's not forget that apparently I'm not human.
"Let's wrap this up shall we gentleman?" The lady looked at me with pity. "It's pretty clear this is self defense, the main issue here is what to do with her."
They all nodded in agreement and the man who had said nothing until this point finally spoke. "She will be trained at one of my schools. She will learn about our world and she will learn control. She will learn discipline. "
I didn't like the sound of that at all. This man gave me the creeps.
Marcus smiled at me and winked, "She can go to the school in Edmonton, that way I can keep an eye on her." he looked straight at me "I'm the principal there." he whispered
"Is that really a good idea, hasn't she been through enough? Those schools are vicious. She's just a child. How old are you little viper? of all the people to give a crap about me councilman Thomas was the last one I expected.
Before I could answer Marcus said "She's 16. Legal age to go to one of our schools."
"Calm down Leon." Said purple hair banging his hand on the table. "She's hardly a little baby, she's built like an sss and has a body count. The school is perfect for her."
Well that's rude! I'm 5ft7 and 140 lbs, I'm an athlete so yeah I have mostly muscle but I'm not built like Conan the barbarian or something. I have boobs and a bum and I'm still growing! It's not my fault purple hair is short and hasn't gone through puberty yet. I glared at him, I couldn't help myself.
"Have you got something to say viper?" purple hair asks
I know i should be good and shut up but he's pissed me off and I can't help myself. "I'm sure you'll go through puberty one day and grow up to be average height."
Once the words were out of my mouth I was wishing I could take them back.
They all laughed, except purple hair who started to turn as purple as his hair.
"Calm down Brandon" sneered councilman Thomas "you asked for it."
"Get her out of here Marcus! Vivica Kallas you are found guilty with extenuating circumstances. you will be sent to the Damascus school in Edmonton Until you graduate." Brandon yelled.
Marcus grabbed me by the shoulders and led me out. "Unchain her."he said to one of the gaurds.
