Cyborg Luz

Ch. 3: The Truth Revealed

"Yes?" Camila asked.

He had to approach this delicately to tell her or else she would be VERY angry, and Camilia is VERY scary when she is angry.

"I....I have some news on Luz and what might have caused her sickness a few days ago." Nathan said to her.

"You do?"

"Yes....but you may not like it." Nathan said as he showed Camilia his laptop.

Camila looked at it for a good five minutes.

"You have five seconds to hide before I do something I regret." Camila said.

Nathan didn't hesitate and ran for his life! He knew he couldn't hide forever but maybe some time in hiding would calm Camilia down! Camila balled up her hand and closed her eyes. She was having a hard time accepting this.

'My daughter.....is becoming an anime cyborg.' Camilia thought as she took a deep breath, coming to grips with this. 'And she may grow up without a father now.'

In a way, Nathan was to blame since if he never focused so much on work, Luz wouldn't be in this mess. But at the same time, he did save her. Camila was at a crossroads, what is she going to do?

"Mommy, why is daddy hiding in the attic?" Luz asked as she peaked into her father personal office.

"No reason honey, just go to your room." Camila said.

Seeing her mother in silent anger, Luz went to her room as Camilia went to the attic. She could think of this later after she found her husband. She wasn't going to kill him, but she was going to hurt him. Despite what happened, he did it in an attempt to save her, but Camila was beyond angry. From that point in, Luz heard random screams of pain from her father and knew this was because he made mom mad for some reason.

'I wonder what daddy did?' Luz thought as her skin gained a metallic skin before returning to normal.

Camila was done hitting him and grabbed his shirt.

"You're going to fix this, got it!"

"I...I know and I am trying. But the nanobots aren't responding. I think they will only obey Luz, but thankfully she hasn't realized it yet." Nathan said to his wife with a black eye and a busted lip.

Camila closed her eyes and started crying.

"Our daughter has become some kind of monster."

"No! Luz is not a monster. She's still our daughter." Nathan said to her.

"And what happens when people find out about her?" Camilia asked him.

"They won't. I promise they won't." Nathan said to her.

Camila hugged him.

"I'm scared."

"I know. I am too." Nathan said as he hugged back.
