';What do you want from me?'; he said. ';I’ll give you anything you want! Just let me go!';
';You idiot,” said Master. “I do not want anything from you. Now, I need someone for Lily's lesson.”
';Lesson?'; said the old man. ';What is this ‘lesson’ are you teaching her?”
Master chuckled. ';Lily. Which is the most vulnerable organ in
the body?';
';The heart, Master';
';What happens to the victim after the heart is damaged?';
“He dies.'; I whispered.
';Good. Now I want you to ki-';
';You are sick!'; said the old man. ';Is this why you raised her? To create an assassin out of her? What kind of man would teach a six year old to kill?';
';Children are so easy.'; said Master. ';They make better servants when raised at such a young age. My Lily makes a perfect example of that.”
Master kneeled to my side.
';Lily,'; He whispered. ';Do you love Master?';
';I do,'; I whispered back.
';Do you want to make Master happy?';
';I do.';
';Then kill that old man in front of you. Make Master proud.';
Master handed me the dagger and I walked forward. The old man, tied up to a chair, smiled at me.
';So young and innocent,'; he said. ';Your mind is clouded with evil. I can tell that you’re lost.';
I continued walking forward. My mind was too focused on pleasing Master. Pointing the dagger at the old man's neck, he still smiled but his eyes began to leak.
';You are confused, child,'; he said. ';Do you really want to
kill an innocent old man who was nothing but kind to you?';
';Shut up old man,'; said Master, laughing. ';Don't you see that she is not listening to you? Lily, what are you waiting for? Kill him!';
';Why do you want to kill me, child?'; asked the old man.
';Master wants you to die,'; I slowly inserted the small
knife into his neck. ';If I kill you, Master will be happy.'; The dagger
was now pointed to the man's chest. Instead of pleading for mercy, the man just sat there.
';Master will be happy, yes,'; he said. ';Are you
happy to serve a man who was never kind to you? One who was always
cruel to you? Are you happy? Confused and Twisted child,--“
“I am happy.”
He stopped when the dagger was shoved into his chest, which oozed in blood. He started coughing up blood and he was breathing very slowly. He opened his mouth and smiled again.
“God…bless…you…” he whispered. The old man’s head dropped and dangled from his neck. He did not move at all.
“I…killed…him,” I said, then looked up at Master, who did not smile. He patted me on the shoulder and pulled me towards him.
“Amazing!” He said. “Good job. How did that feel? Doesn’t it feel pleasant, Lily?”
“It does Master,” I said, now starting to feel unsure.
My heart started to hurt. I felt like I’ve done something wrong, but what? I did what Master told me, so why am I getting this horrible feeling in my heart? I smiled and hugged him. I only had this pleasant feeling because I made Master happy, and that’s all that mattered now.
The room started to fade away and Master suddenly disappeared. Now I found myself sitting on a chair in yet another empty room. I sat down on a metal chair, staring at space. The room was empty and there was white all around me. Two chairs stood in front of me. Master kneeled down behind me, whispering in my ear, which was the only thing in this room that I actually paid attention to.
';Lily,'; He said. ';Can you hear Master?';
';I can,'; I answered back.
';Good,'; He said. ';Listen to me carefully.';
';Yes, Master.';
';You are no longer the sweet, caring, young girl that we know and love. You are a tool, my weapon for destruction.';
';I am your weapon.';
';Good,'; said Master, ';I will no longer care for and nurture you. You are under my custody and command';
';I am under your command.';
Master chuckled and patted me on the shoulder.
';You never cease to amaze me, child,'; he said
';I love Master,'; I whispered and smiled at him.
';I know,'; said Master. “You are loyal to him. You will always be at his side, giving him endless affection. You live to serve me and do as Master sees fit.';
“I will stay by Master’s side and do has he sees fit”
“Good girl,” he said.
';Someone is coming,'; he said.'; They are 'social workers'. Do you know what they are, Lily?';
';No, Master. I do not.';
';They are evil and cruel people who want to take you away. They claim they are good folk who love children, but I have seen their tricks.';
I looked up at him to see that he wasn't smiling anymore.
';Do you want them to take you away?';
';No.'; I began to shiver.
';You don't want them to take you away, do you? What are you going to do, Lily?';
Kill them,'; That was the first thing that came to mind when he asked me that.
';That's right,'; he said, his smile came back. ';This time you use your powers, instead of that dagger. Those people are evil and cruel.';
I listened with interest.
';You have to kill them, Lily. Who knows what may happen if you let them out alive? They could send even more bad men here. They will come and take Master away and kill him, but you want to protect him right?”
I crossed my arms and shivered.
“I don’t want Master to go,” I said, then started crying. “I won’t let them kill you.”
“Do everything you can to protect me,” said Master, who was stroking my head. “If you fail, I will die.”
The doorbell rang. I knew what I was ordered to do, but I still felt helpless.
';Stay here,'; said Master. ';Be ready and kill them on my command.';
';Yes…';
Master left the room. The feeling in my chest became uncomfortable, my stomach felt as if bugs were crawling in it. I hoped that I wouldn't feel pain in my chest again. I still haven't figured out why I had it. I put those feelings aside and focused on what I was told to do. A pale black haired woman walked into the room, followed by a white haired man, who was round and plump and wore a suit with a pocket on the left side that contain three pens.
“Here she is,” said Master,who pointed to the black haired and flat faced young woman. “Lily, this is Ms. Lee.”
She smiled and took a bow. “Nice to meet you Lily.”
Master then, pointed to the fat man. “Mr. Palstone.”
Mr. Palstone starting walking towards me, but they way he walked was very unusual. Flab dangled from his hips, and he was walking like a duck. I had never seen anyone this round; in fact I never knew people can be like that that. He reached out his hand and cleared his throat.
“Pleased to meet you Lily,” he said.
I just looked at his hand for a few seconds and then turned away.
“Was it something I said?” he asked.
“No, it’s nothing that you said, please don’t take it personally,” said Master. “She doesn’t like shaking hands, and she tends to get…well…apprehensive around strangers.”
I looked at some unusual features on Mr. Palstone’s face. He had a well-shaved mustache, and the grayish hair around him gave him the appearance of a lion. A pair of yellow teeth in the middle of his was big compared to the rest of his teeth. It’s so huge, that you can see it even when his mouth is closed. In other words, Mr. Palstone looked like a beaver.If you read my story, you won't regret it. I know it's long. You'll love it. I need your opinions.
