King Gnah

start of the war

"Look at our mother-son team work!"Leny shows Anya to Lawrence. He stood there a while in silence then finally spoke.

"You brought a stranger."Lawrence says as he circles Anya,"Did you adopt or kidnap? I know you can do both love."Lawrence asked.

"Larry!"Leny raged.

"You didn't deny it."Lawrence added. This led Leny to hit him while complaining.

Once Louis told everyone that that's Anya,there were nervous laughs all round the room.

We thought she was a boy. Dang! That was the general thought of everyone.

"The ball room's ready."Maggie,the butler,said.Yes,their butler was female,tomboy to be exact.

"Right. Let's go. I'm sure you'll have fun tonight Anya." Louis said as Maggie pushed him in his wheel chair toward the party.

They all followed from the back. Kenny snatched Anya to go by the stairs. No one noticed that they were gone.

"Your stubborn. The party's that way." Anya complained.

"I just wanted to say something real quick." Kenny said while looking over the balcony at the party,"I'm sorry for the time at the circus. I want us to be the best of friends in the next years to come."

Anya smiled. The first that Kenny saw."Sure, let's do that."she said.
      .           .           .           .           .

"Where are they now? Stacy,do you know?"Louis asked.

"There they are!" Stacy points at the balcony.

As soon as she pointed at them,a smoke bomb exposed on the balcony. This scared everyone. Maggie signaled Lawrence and Sean to take the rest out the back door.

"Louis Gnah. How have you been?"a voice,deep and youthful,echoed through the room.

Louis levitated off the ground to about five meters.the smoke started to lift and a red dot of light was seen on the head of a shadow of a man.He balanced well while standing on the rails.

"Gale Luxy,"Louis said,"don't turn you back on you real opponent."

Gale,a tall thin man with one of his eyes glowing red,looked behind him. In an instant before he could make out which of the kids was his opponent (he considered Kenny would be the on),he flew off the balcony not knowing what hit him. At that moment, Louis fell hard on the ground too.

"Dad!"Lawrence ran over with some guards and took him away. To safety atleast.

"Mom, Kenny and Anya are still in there."Stacy whined to her mother.

"Don't you dare worry about them!" Caly responded as Louis was brought out of the house.

"Blue eyes... don't tell me your a King."Gale said as he picked himself up. Anya was Infront of him with a fighting stance."But you just a kid.Whatever,I'll kill you anyway!"
Gale took to his heels with his fist glowing and landed a hit on Anya.

"Why are you here?"Anya calmly asks after managing to dodge the hit.

"Cocky child." Gale murmured before attempting to land another hit. Unfortunately or fortunately,Anya dodged it again. Again and again. This was getting frustrating so he decided to end it once and for all. This was when Anya snatched his knife from him and stabbed him. This all happened in a blink of an eye.

How is she so fast?!? Gale thought before hitting the ground. Unconscious or dead,no one was sure.

Anya's face though was bruised badly with the few heavy hits she got. Her new white shirt,stained with blood.

"Move!"Lawrence brought in Louis and lay him on the couch."someone,take that man away."he ordered. While attention was towards Louis for those few seconds, Gale somehow managed to escape.

"I thought Louis said you'd protect him!"Caly started being a brat again,"you let this happen?"she raised her hand and slapped Anya.

"Do that again and I'll kill you myself."Kenny warned his aunt.

"It seems your growing horns too young man."Caly raised her hand at Kenny.

"Didn't you hear?"Lawrence said in a calm but angry voice,"Do that again and your dead. I won't repeat myself."

Just that moment, Louis coughed heavily then called for Anya in a sore low voice.

"Louis,your not dying,are you?"Anya wept as she fell to her knees next to Louis.

"It takes alot to kill me,you know?"Louis bragged. Anya though was not happy and Louis could tell why,"ignore Caly. You did well today. You dad would be proud of you. I know I'm proud." He rubbed Anya's hair.

Anya got up as Louis was being taken away for medical care. She wanted to follow but stumbled. Everyone was upside down in her head and the last thing she heard was Kenny yelling her name.
         .           .            .            .            .
Anya blinked once. Then twice. Then turned to see the side of the queen size bed she was sleeping on. It was her room. Her legs were heavy. When she looked,it was Cain the puppy on her laps. Next to him was Kenny's head. The was seated on a stool while sleeping at the bed side.

"Ah...Anya,your awake."Kenny woke up. He was still drowsy though.

Anya's attention switched to the drip with a line in her hand. Her eyes glowed blues then the pin flew out her hand and fell to the ground. That very minute, Maggie walked in.

"I knew you'd be awake."she put down he tray of medicine and water on the bed side table."Kenny,be a dear and pick the pin."

Kenny picked it up but before he could say a word,he was sent to the other side of the door.

"Have this,"Maggie handed Anya the tablets,"we have to go soon. Can you walk?"

"Where's Louis?"Anya asked.

"I'll take you to him now. Be careful getting up."Maggie said as she helped up Anya whose arms were wrapped in bandages up to her neck.

They quietly walked the halls with Anya behind Maggie. The place was stupidly quiet. What is happening?
They saw Stacy dressed in white leaving her room. Immediately Stacy noticed them,she ran off. Odd....Anya though again.

In the gardens,where Louis planted roses,the family was there. Anya knew the meaning of this so she shook her head in denial.

"It's a joke,a bad joke,right?"Anya looked at Maggie whose head was Heald high."no!"Anya ran to the end of the garden path and saw him. Lifeless.
"Louis no! You can't leave yet! Louis!"Anya went mad in tears.

"Last night. It was an assassination."Maggie told her.

"Who did it?"Anya asked.

"We're looking for them."Maggie replied. Anya drowned in tears once more. Blaming herself for not being there for him.

"It's okay."Lawrence took Anya in his arms."you did your best."then embraced Anya whose tears didn't stop. No one's did."Thank you Anya."
