Vol 8: Truth Seekers

Morning came and Striker opened his eyes, his vision blurry at first. When he finally gained consciousness, he found that he was no longer on the couch and looked around his body to see that there was no rope on him. He touched his arms and hands to see if his assumptions were correct. Now, he was trapped in a cage.

He kicked the door and then the bars, but nothing worked.

Then he saw Samantha walking toward him with a grin upon her face and he gasped in shock.

"Aww, the assassin Kore was forced to call husband and Seth was forced to call father with no friends and family," she said mockingly and chuckled evilly, "And no way out."

"Why are you doing this?" Striker asked, "We can talk this over."

Samantha's face grew dangerously close to his as she clutched onto one of the bars, making him gasp and flinch. "You didn't want to talk earlier." She let go of the bar. "Now you know just how I feel." She walked around Striker's cage.

Striker lowered his head with guilt.

As Samantha walked around the cage, she started to sing.

It's time you learned a lesson.

It's time you understand:

Don't ever count on anybody else

In this or any other land.

She looked away from him.

I once hoped for friendship;

To find a place among my kind.

But those were the childish wishes

Of someone who was blind.

She turned back around, facing Striker.

Open up your eyes!

See the world from where I stand:

Me among the mighty, you caged at my command.

She put her hand on the bars, walking around the cage, while Striker glared at her.

Open up your eyes!

Give up your sweet fantasy land.

It's time to grow up and get wise.

Come now, little one;

Open up your eyes.

She showed him powers from her hand, showing him her horrible past.

We all start out the same:

With simple, naïve trust,

Shielded from the many ways

That life's not fair or just.

First, it started out with her ex-boyfriend, whom she dated and everything was swell between the two at first.

But then comes a moment,

A simple truth that you must face:

If you depend on others,

You'll never find your place.

Then, she saw her ex bullying a child and was about to beat her. Samantha was shocked to see her ex-boyfriend's true colors, but at the same time, it angered her. So, she stood in front of the child and just when her ex was about to shoot her, she dodged the bullet and the bullet ricocheted and hit him in the face, instead.
