Pentagon

Chapter 20- Thank you.

"Hm?" Olympia hummed, waking up with her body covered in a warm blanket and her head rested on a soft pillow.

She lifted the blanket off her body to see her stomach bandaged up, blood seeping through the little cracks.

Olympia sat up, groaning as soon as she did. She cursed in her head as she winced and got out of bed, her legs almost failing to keep her up.

The door then opened and in walked Aunt Rose and Terrence. As soon as they saw Olympia up and about they instantly rushed to her and demanded she sit down.

"I'm fine, it's just a scratch" Olympia stated, walking over to her bathroom.

"Ha! You think I'd let you just get up, that would be foolish of me" Aunt Rose said, grabbing onto Olympia's shoulder and gently forcing her to sit back down on her bed.

"I need to change your bandages" Aunt rose said, opening the drawer next to the bed and taking out some more bandages.

"Where is she?" Olympia questioned while staring directly at Terrence as if to tell him that she wanted him to answer her.

"She's just fine, I'll go and get her" Terrence said, walking out the door and leaving Olympia with her Aunt.

"I'm proud of you, ya know?" She said, cleaning the stitches from all the blood surrounding it. Olympia winced as she cleaned around, a slight stinging sensation nipping at her body.

"Thanks I guess" Olympia said, playing with the hems of the blanket. "My question is regarding the kid though" Aunt Rose inquired.

"The kid?" Olympia asked. A dark look in her eyes and a defensive tone to her voice that caught Aunt Rose off guard.

"Apologies, we don't know her name yet. She doesn't want to talk to us." She stated, finishing up with her patchwork before getting up and sighing. "Please don't ever scare me like that again" she said before walking out the door.

Olympia smiled and looked at her newly bandaged stomach before getting up once again. Pain instantly shot through her body as she attempted to walk to her bathroom again.

The Pillar sighed and painfully made her way to her bathroom and did her morning routine, other than shower of course as her bandages were just changed.

Once she was finished she headed into her dressing room and changed into a pair of red leggings and a white tank top. "There we go" she said before opening the door and walking into her room.

She stumbled forward and stood and held into her bed post in hopes to catch her breath but unfortunately the door swung wide open.

"Your alive!" A little girl said, making Olympia's eyes snap up to the voice. Her bright green hair was in a high ponytail while her eyes were drenched in tears. She ran to Olympia and hugged her legs being as she was so small.

"Hello there" Olympia said, trying to hide the pain that she was in. She patted the little girls head and sat down on her bed. The little girl looked at Olympia as if to ask her if she was allowed on her bed.

Olympia frowned before patting the bed beside her. "Me sit?" The little girl asked to which Olympia gave a small smile and nodded.

"What's your name kiddo?" Olympia asked, patting her head once again, making the little girl look at her with a confused gaze.

"Name?" She questioned in wonder which made Olympia widen her eyes.

"Does she not have a name? What about her parents? Did they not name her? Where even are they?" Olympia thought to herself.

The thought of this innocent child not having something as much as a name made her angered beyond belief.

"You name?" She asked in a shy voice, making Olympia smile at how cute she was.

"Olympia" she said which made the girl nod her head and smile before attempting to say her name.

"How about this? What name is easiest for you to call me?" Olympia suggested. The child thought for a moment before turning to Olympia.

She stared at her for a moment before giving her a bright smile.

"Mommy!" She said, making Olympia shutter in remembrance of the dream she had and the numerous times she heard that directed towards her.

"Are you sure? What about your real mother?" Olympia asked to which the girl shook her head and started to cry. Olympia hated seeing her like this so she gave the little girl a hug and calmed her down by running her fingers through her hair and humming a song that her mother once sang to her.

"I guess I'm her mother then?"

"Why not! It sounds like so much fun!"

But what if she gets hurt?"

"She won't."

"Mommy?" The little girl called, gaining Olympia's attention in an instant.

She sighed and laid back down, wincing in the process. She looked over to the little girl and held out her arm as if to tell the little girl to come closer.

The small child curled up into Olympia's side and closed her eyes with a smile on her face as she fell asleep. Olympia smiled herself before following suit, her arm wrapped around the child protectively before falling asleep.

"Your grace?" A woman called, making Olympia's eyes twitch open. She turned her gaze to the woman to see her aunt.

Olympia carefully sat up and placed the little girls head on the pillow beside her. Aunt Rose smiled before reaching her arm out to help Olympia out of bed.

Olympia kindly denied and got up herself. Her body was already starting to heal itself even though it was much delayed.

Olympia followed her aunt out onto a balcony at the front of her house. Olympia stared for a bit until her aunt spoke up.

"Its almost time, your grace" Aunt Rose stated, earning a hum from Olympia in response.

"Do you think that we will finally be free once this is all over? Will we all finally be able to live our lives in peace?" Aunt rose questioned, looking at Olympia for answers.

Olympia looked out into the falling sun, her eyes showing no emotion and her straight form never bending to the wind. Her aunts breath hitched as tears started to fill her eyes.

"I know what I have to do. So to answer your question, yes, there will be freedom" Olympia said, walking to the door to the balcony and placing her hand on it.

"How do you know?" Aunt Rose asked, tears falling from her face. Olympia gave a small sad smile.

"Because I deemed it so and in this world, in my world, my word is law. I choose who lives and who dies." With that said, she walked out the door, leaving her aunt in tears.

Aunt Rose looked up into the orange and red sky, tears falling from her face as a smile was carved on it.

"Of course, your grace."

Olympia was walking back to her room when the conversation from earlier relayed in her mind.

Olympia knew that she could waltz into each and every Order district and be done with it but the only problem, was the minute she attacked one, the others would know which could put everyone she knows in danger.

Besides, Olympia aways found it funny how they come up with all these plans just for them to die in the end.

Call it narcissistic, but Olympia knew she had far greater power than any of them would ever hope to gain. In this world there is only one ultimate power, only one Pillar, and that is Olympia.
