Eyes of Vengeance

Epilogue

            Nataliya was walking amidst a nightmarish plane, the block fog hiding the ground as she kept on moving. She looked to her left and saw Heidi shooting Rose repeatedly in the face. To her left she saw her sister Lilia being raped by half a dozen Belarusian soldiers, and in front of her, was Eva, she was nailed to a cross with long lines from a razor down her forearms... The sounds from each sight were growing louder and louder, Heidi's laughs, Lilia's crying, and Eva's silence...

            The pain was not alleviated until she heard the sweetest sound in the world...

            "Mommy!"

            Lilia, now five years old jumped into her mother's bed and started bouncing up and down saying in English, "Mommy get up! Mommy!"

            Lilia was just shy of 100 centimeters tall, she was thin and energetic and an all around great kid. She had Eva's black, curly, hair, it reached down to her shoulder blades, and she had Eva's green eyes.

            Nataliya smiled, and rocketed up, grabbing Lilia and pulling her back down with her. They both laughed as Nataliya tickled Lilia, as Lilia struggled to break free. After a few moments Nataliya let go of Lilia, allowing her to squirm around.

            "Mommy, get up!" she said, pushing Nataliya.

            "What time is it?" Nataliya inquired.

            "Time to get up!"

            "And what exactly does that mean?"

            "It means you should get up!"

            "Why?"

            "School is starting soon!"

            Nataliya glanced at the clock, "We still have an hour before it starts."

            "I don't want to be late!"

            "Aren't most kids supposed to be afraid on their first day of school?"

            "Why would I be afraid?"

            "Leaving the comfort of your mother's side and all."

            "Well Mommy, I am not most kids!"

            "No, you really aren't," Nataliya kissed her before getting up. Lilia was, in laymen's terms, a genius. She started talking at around 15 months, she taught herself to read when she was two years old, and she even taught herself the basics of algebra at age four by playing video games. She was enrolled in a school specifically for children like her, the class sizes were small, and the bill was enormous, but it wasn't too hard to pay(having millions of Euros in a Swiss Bank Account really helps).

            "What do you want for breakfast?" Nataliya asked, moving into the kitchen.

            "Eggs please," Lilia said, sitting at the table, writing.

            Nataliya got a phone call, it was from Abbi. Nataliya answered and put it on speakerphone.

            "Hey Abbi," Nataliya said in Russian, grabbing eggs and butter from the refrigerator, "You're on speakerphone and Lilia is in the room."

            "I guess that means keep it clean?" Abbi said.

            "Relatively, she's started calling me out when I swear, no idea why."

            "So I can't even say vagina?"

            "Vagina isn't a swear," Lilia said.

            "Yeah, she has one, why would it be a swear?" Nataliya said, scoffing, "Pussy, cunt, or twat would be."

            "Mommy!"

            "Sorry sweetie!"

            "I guess I should visit soon then, see how much she's grown," Abbi said.

            "Please do, I could use another European... All the bitches here are just... well... bitches. They are way too focused on moving and doing everything quickly... it's infuriating... I got lectured on cooking food for Lilia instead of using precooked shit... only in fucking America."

            "Mommy, four swears."

            "Sorry."

            "Americans are too focused on the short term, you'll get used to it," Abbi said.

            "I don't want to get used to it, because I don't like it. Hell I get dirty looks on how Lilia was conceived."

            "What?"

            "Yeah I had a meeting with some other parents for the stupid genius meeting and when the fact about a father came up, I got lots of weird looks... apparently the Americans still have biembryonic insemination illegal... fu.... I mean... stupid Americans..."

            "And apparently a girl with an accent is some sort of rare creature that everyone wants to bed here... no wonder Europeans stay in Europe..."

            "Why stay then?"

            "Too much history in Europe, plus Lilia likes it here, right?"

            Lilia nodded in agreement.

            "So why did you call?" Nataliya inquired.

            "Am I not allowed to call just for calling?"

            "I guess?"

            "I was calling to see if Lilia was excited about her first day at school."

            "Unbelievably excited," Nataliya said, grabbing two plates and putting the eggs and two pieces of toast on each.

            "Good, I'll call back later to see how it went."

            "Thanks, talk to you later," she hung up the phone and placed Lilia's plate in front of her, "Eat up."

            "Thanks Mommy!" she responded, grabbing her fork.

            Nataliya watched Lilia closely for a moment as she ate, not touching her own food.

            Lilia noticed after a moment and asked, "What is it Mommy?"

            "Nothing," she said, "I just... love you, you know that?"

            "Of course Mommy, I love you too."

            Despite all of her amazing characteristics, there was one single thing that Nataliya loved about Lilia more than anything...

            It was her eyes...

            She didn't have Nataliya's eyes...
