Distant Memories Faded Story

Let's Start From The Beginning Smoke Fire And Death

Before we start any and all art is not mine it is most likely off of Google so don't come at me later. Also this was slightly edited.

I am going to die. I know I am. I mean I am laying in a ditch bleeding out. How wouldn't I die? I mean the last person that cared for me was... wait who was the last person to care about me. Might as well start from the beginning. I took a deep breath and rolled onto my side trying to put pressure on the wound. (Please note this is not a story for the light hearted)

My siblings I have always hated my siblings "Lilith Lilith" I would hear my brother or whispering to me every morning I just layed still I was awake but didn't want to be I hated it at only ten years old I was the youngest and my oldest brother being fifteen my other sister was twelve and I was loved...by them at least I remember my brother telling me about the twins who where are other siblings they took them away when he was ten them being 13 I was sure they would do that to me when I hit 13, my parents hated me and loved my sister and brother. I will admit I wasn't as strong as them or as fast and I didn't have as many powers as they did... Let's face it I was and am weak I mean I am laying in a ditch about to die after all.

Jackson: "I swear to god Lilith if you don't get up I will throw you off your bed"

Lilith: "fine fine I am getting up"

I complained I came from a long line if assassin's and didn't know how to fight and because my parents didn't care enough to teach me my brother and sister had to. Today it was my brother's turn. He dragged me down stairs and into the training room. Gave me a knife and told me to try and kill him. Of course I did, I mean I can't hurt him.

Jackson: "don't hold the knife like that here" he adjusted the knife in my hand "Ok..and...like that now swing at me" I slashed his chest and nothing happened like I thought "ok um that was a start I guess"

Lilith: "I suck don't I" I started to tear up then I got slapped. Hard like really hard, hard enough that I fell. You know who slapped me. Ya it was my brother.

Jackson: "Rule number one is..." he waited for me to finish the sentence

Lilith: "Never to cry and get back up" my cheek was red and stinging tears streaming down my face. I stood up and wiped my tears off. My brother opened his arms to hug me but I saw it as a opportunity to strike. I went over to him like I was going to hug him and bam I was on the ground again my brother's standing over me. "Oooowwww that really hurt" a whined my brother laughed then put his hand over my mouth suddenly his face turned frightened and consernd.

Jackson: "go hide in the closet mom is coming" he whispered

I ran over to the closet that had weapons and training robots in it and closed it just as I got in the closet I heard the door open.

Scarlet(my mom): "where is your sister"

Jackson: "Sky is still asleep"

Scarlet(mom): "Not Skyler the other one ummm what was her name again...oh Lilith"

I was mad. I am used to being mad at my mom but I was so mad. How are you going to forget the name of someone who lives with you. Then I smell smoke I look around and see white fire I know my fire is wihte. The only reason I know that is because I practiced in my room one day until I got it. But it was only a small flame in my hand and I had no energy to do anything else. So there is no way it is my fire... right. I heard sky scream; it was an ear splitting scream I could tell because she was upstairs and the walls were soundproof. I could tell that my brother noticed the fire because he started pounding at the door yelling my name. I opened the door to see my brother's terrified face turn ice cold and angry. The only thing he said to me was "you killed them". My sister was behind him. She started cursing at me and screaming and crying. But I didn't do it I swear...kill my parents... the only reason I know they're dead is because my brother
said so...I looked over to see what I assumed was my mother's ashes on the floor. Is my dad dead as well?

Sky: "I hope you die just like they did"

Now that stung and just like that I was gone I took off running and I ran and ran and ran until I was so far in the woods and my legs couldn't carry me any longer. I ended up falling and I just laid there and cried. I didn't know what else to do at this point. I was alone and I ended up being like that a lot.

When I woke up I was warm which is odd for just being on the forest floor. Part of me was scared to open my eyes. I could feel someone watching me waiting for me to wake up. I half opened my eyes to end up meeting a scary looking man's gaze looking straight back at me. I quickly closed them hoping he didn't see me. I heard him chuckle and get up.

???: "Wasn't planning on hurting you what is your name"

This time I fully open my eyes to see him kneeling down next to the bed. could hear the rain hitting the window as I sit up my hair is still dirty and wet and my legs still hurt.

???: "Name?"

He asked again "Lilith" I wispered

???: "Mhm pretty name"

He paused for a second

???: "My name is Gray"

Gray: "now that we know eacchother what where you doing in the woods and in the rain"

I looked down at my hands. Did I really do it I wondered how would I. I can barely make a small spark. He looked at me with a confused look.

Lilith: "I think I killed my family"

and with that I started to cry and cry and cry and he listened as I told him everything how my parents treated me what my mom said, about the fire, what my sister and brother said, what my brother told me about my other siblings, and why I don't think it was me I told him how weak I was and how how strong my siblings were, my family line. And after I was done and wiping away my tears from my face he said

Gray: "What if I taught you"

Lilith: "what if you taught me? Taught me what?"

Gray: "All of it how to use your power correctly, how to fight and most importantly how not to show emotion but use it to your advantage"

Lilith: "Use emotion to my advantage?"

Was he crazy how can I use my emotions to my advantage?

Gray: "You don't have to say-"

I cut him off.

Lilith: "I will do it"

Gray: "Ok if you say so"
