The Origin of Medusa

Chapter Six

Nameless was no less than 4 years old, walked among the brown-stained walls, rusted metal, rickety floorboards, and kids had been falling into the floorboards, getting ill from the rust, and from the AC units. It was a literal death trap meant to make kids tougher. Nameless's father despised the place; her mother liked the place because she had been raised in it. 

~The Day that Gave Lies new meaning~

Nameless was skipping her way to school; she wasn't happy about going, but she was happy to see one person. Robbie. Robbie was her only light in that hellhole that they called a school. Her father smiled at her happiness, at how she was skipping about and happily ready to see the one person who makes her smile. As she entered the school, Robbie was waiting with her favorite flower, the Soulcid. Its ghostly blue and black with white towards it, nectar gives it the beauty for one thousand suns. She smiled so wide that it could make the undead jealous. 

"My mom helped me find it this morning while walking here." He smiled. 

As they walked into their first class, something odd happened. The first class didn't dismiss like normal. It bled into their second period. Robbie and Nameless shared a look. The teacher, Ms. Lavis, looked confused. Then it happened. Like the sound of sickening thunder. A shotgun fired. Then a pistol, then an automatic. The school was under attack. They were in danger. Robbie stared at Nameless, She was in danger. Robbie held Nameless's hand, hoping to soothe her into a silent fear, trying to ease his own fear by being near her. Ms. Lavis ran to her desk and got out her personal phone, calling HPD, The Hades Police Department. As they picked up she whisper yelled the situation to the 3434 caller on the other end. Robbie stared at the door as boot-steps were getting closer, 

"Everyone Barricade the door!" Nameless Ran into action, as Robbie and the other kids rallied to help each other stack their desks. 

Ms. Lavis put herself in front of the kids, Robbie stared at his classmates then at his beloved Nameless. He may never see her face again. He thought for a moment, but was broken out of though as the door flew open, the stacked chairs and desks clatter to the floor like a hurricane of thunder. They all screamed, cried and watched as Ms. Lavis, protecting them, was shot dead. The kids screamed as they were herded out the room, down the hall, and towards the main office. Robbie held Nameless's hand the entire time. They looked at men dressed head to toe in black armor, their helmets held no emotions but coldness and brutality. They shot into the ceiling, making everyone scream. They yelled out orders, a bigger guy, one with red accents to his armor looked among the crowd, searching the sea of faces like a cheetah tracking a gazelle. His eyes landed on Robbie, Nameless and two other kids, a set of twins. Nameless knew them very well, they were quiet and kind. They weren't ever separated, like ever. His helmet tilted down, Nameless couldn't tell if he was thinking or was staring at her flower. Her Soulcid was in a vase tied to her waste in a leather flower vase carrier. He gestured to one of his men, "I want those four." He walked away, the kids screamed, Nameless grew scared, holding onto Robbie while the twins huddled closer to the other two kids. Nameless cried hard, holding Robbie like a life line. The leader made a gesture. It was starting. 

The men separated the children even more, till only four children remained by the armed men sides. This includes Robbie, Nameless, And the twins. Two men took the twins, showed them the outside where their parents were weeping, hoping to get them back, only for the children to be executed. I flinched as Robbie held my hand, Although Robbie was just a name she alone called him, she never would have expected for him to do what he did next. He tackled one of the men. Sending him flying to the ground. Robbie cast one look to Nameless, but it wasn't sad, it was a memorial look, one where the person studies your face, remembering every detail and every single thing about you. Just as the Hades Police force busted in, the man Robbie tackled, used him as a hostage for his group and himself to get away. That was the last time she ever saw Robbie. It scared her. Making her not want to get that close to anyone ever again. Robbie fought and struggled, but Nameless was powerless, as the Police force grabbed her and rushed her outside while she screamed out Robbie's nickname. The only reason Robbie had a name, was cause she gave it to him. She became his only friend. 

They searched and searched, yet found only one thing, a single trail of Soulcids, the flower of Persephone. Nameless held the one Robbie gave her; her tears spilled onto the unopened bud of the flower, it bloomed into the most beautiful Soulcid in all of Hades. She cried harder, knowing full well where he got it and what lengths he took to get it. She knew that he thought of her, more than a friend, and unfortunately, she could not tell him ever again how much he meant to her. Her father protectively held her while her mother helped with the search. 

Back then, her mother was a lot kinder, smarter, and more lively. Probably cause Nameless's father was alive then. Back when she was younger, more naive, a child. Hell, she is a child now but, back then she relied on her family, relied on her parents. She was a lot...Moldable. But of course, her father always had to step in, make sure Nameless was always cared for and looked after, taught right from wrong, wrong from right. However, not everything has its happy ending.
