Not One Of Us (An Elfen Lied Fanfic)

Chapter Seven : Secrets

"What's the point in living if I'm already dead?!?!" I screamed at myself in my head.

I knew no one would speak back to me.

Or at least, I thought so.

"Stop screaming unless you really want to die." I heard a voice say to me.

And that was the day I met Lucy.

...

I opened my eyes and sat up with a yawn.

It seems I fell asleep...

I blew the hair out of my face and looked down at my hands.

Yona... Yusa.

Can I really keep up with this charade?

The woman walked down the tile hallways in brand new Louis Vuitton heels that made a clicking noise every time they hit the floor.

Her name is Mirai Asakara.

Also known by her nickname Nightshade that everyone in the office had given her.

She didn't care about nicknames though.

She didn't care about much in general actually.

Except the diclonius.

Especially the diclonius.

She swiped her ID card for clearance and was then granted access to the director's office.

The director put down the files in his hands and smiled widely when he saw Mirai.

"So, have you found Lucy yet? " the director said.

Mirai's face showed no emotion as she said, "No."

"What about that other one that escaped... Number thirty eight, I think?"

"We have sightings of her in several places. " Mirai said.

The director smiled.

"Good. " he said.

"Do we exterminate the target sir? "

The director stood from his chair.

"No. Not yet. She is our trump card after all."

"Trump card?"

"Yes, if my gut is right and it always is... Number thirty eight will lead us straight to Lucy. "

"Is there any evidence of that, sir? " Mirai said.

"Those two bitches thought they were so fucking smart. I heard every conversation that went on between them. "

"They spoke and you heard? " Mirai questioned.

The director pulled out a bottle of vodka and a small handgun from his desk and then handed them to Mirai, who took them.

"Remember our most important rule, Mirai? " he said and leaned closer towards her.

"We keep each others secrets and-"

He kissed her roughly then threw her back making her somewhat lose her balance.

"We don't question what go's on in this room. " he said coldly.

Mirai straightened her composure and looked straight into the directors black eyes with blank ones.

"Understood, sir. " she said and began to walk away.

"Oh, and Mirai? "

She turned around.

"Yes? "
