Revenge

Confusion

I went home that day in a daze, maybe tomorrow I could go into town and talk to that guy more... that is if I could find him. I kept forgetting to ask for his name! I fell asleep easily that night and woke up surprisingly early the next day.

It was the 5th day without James and for some reason I missed him, but not as much as I had expected. The weird annoying guy with all the information had kept me busy this week. I made myself some breakfast and then went into town, hoping to find that guy.

Once I reached town I may have been too lucky. I turned the corner and ran smack into him, hurting my nose on his chest "god are you all bone?!" I rubbed the dulling pain from my nose, he reached down and helped me up before laughing

"I could ask the same of you, you are so light!"

I rolled my eyes "I wanted to talk to you, thank you for helping me..."

"oh so the girl does have some manners?" What a butt!

"shut up, don't make me regret looking for you, idiot. I wanted to know your name"

"When asking for someone's name you should present yours first"

I groaned faintly, I was already regretting this. "fine. My name is Lilja Awendela."

"Lily Dayllight?" he grinned softly

"what?"

"that's your names meaning. Lilja means lily, and Awendela means daylight"

"oh, what's your name?"

"Dark Champion"

"No, your real name"

"that's for me to know and you to find out" he smirked and grabbed my hand "I have something I want to show you, Ms. Provincial"

"h-hey!" he started pulling me a long too quickly for me to resist, all I could do was stumble a long as he pulled me, soon enough we were in a taxi and heading out of town in a direction I had never been. "where are we going?"

"somewhere fun" that was all I could get out of him about the mystery place, somewhere fun.

Soon we arrived at this place will loud music and laughter "This is called a sports park, I came along some extra money so I wanted to take you paint balling"

"Paint balling?"

"Yea, it's still not well known. You get a gun that shoots balls of paint at people. There are a lot of people here today so it will be a fun time" he smirks over at me

I couldn't help but look curious, excitement making me smile giddily "let's go!"

He pulled me a long to this large arena and we put on this leather stuff "Getting hit with a paintball hurts a lot, so this is our protection. I will be your enemy so I am prepared to shoot you without a second thought"

I picked up a gun and aimed it right at him "bring it on. I am going for you first"

He raised his eyebrows "oh I am so scared of the girl holding the gun backwards"

I growled and flipped the gun around "oh whatever, you will fear me. See you on the battle field." I turned and walked in, already searching for my hiding spot in the large forest arena. There were buildings here and there, some hidden by the trees. I chose my spot in the far corner, up in a tree house space I sat and waited. I read through the procedures on how to aim and shoot before coming in to the arena, and I was prepared. As soon as I saw movement I took aim and shot, some guy yelling explicit words was heard afterwards, making me laugh slightly, then I saw what looked like him. I jumped down from the tree to stalk my prey before hitting him, just so I could see his face when I got him. The shadow moved and I shot at it as it turned around. My prey was a greasy thin geeky guy, who looked as pale as a sheet and screamed at me like a spoilt brat.

Suddenly there was rustling as the heated argument between the two of us settled before I heard a gun go off and I felt pain in my back leg. I could hear his snide laughter as he jumped down in front of me "what was that about getting me first?"

"YOU FUCKING SHOT MY ASS!" I winced and took aim at him

"uh oh!" he laughed "she's angry I better run!" he took off faster than I thought most people could run... it was like he disappeared and blended in with the shadows "come and get me if you want revenge, little girl"

I actually started laughing and chasing after him.

Maybe an hour later we were sitting exhausted on a bench, he had bought himself and I waters, which I graciously gulped down. I had gotten him twice and it hurt for me to sit down. I made a mental note to thank him later for that.

"we can go hang out at my house, it's a run down abandoned house but an ass like you shouldn't be picky"

"you're an even bigger ass than yours truly" he smirked "hence why it was so big it ended up being my targ- OW!" I punched him on the arm

"Why were you looking at my ass in the first place?" I raised my eyebrows and he blushed faintly.

Once we reached my house maybe 2 hours later we both hung out in my living room while we talked and played go fish

"It looks kind of like 2 people live here. Got any 2's?"

"oh yeah, that would be my uh boyfriend, he's out of town now on a rookie officer thing... Go fish, got any 7's?"

"oh yeah you did mention you had a boyfriend" he laughed "doesn't seem like he does much really, stop cheating. Got any 7's?" he handed me to fives

"hey! He takes care of me, he taught me how to fight, and he made me laugh. Go fucking fish and stop asking me for 7's"

"oh ho ho must be a terrific guy, give him a boyfriend of the year award! That was the first time I asked for 7's"

"No, you've asked for 7's at least 50 freaking times and He is! Sure he's a little tough on me, but he loves me."

"oh? He loves you? Why don't you tell me more about your boyfriend? Also 50 times? That sounds a little exaggerated even for you."

"He was at first just an officer who believed me when I was saying Madeline was killed.... He said his parents died the same way. He has helped me out a lot"

"wait" he was suddenly tense "does he ever uh... tell you what to do and you do it without question? Kind of like a second nature to listen to him?" He put his cards down

I had to think about it. "now that I think about it.... Yea, he seems like he's born to be a leader, why?"

"Is his name James?"

"Yes...do you know him?"

"Lilja you need to get away from him, he is bad news" his eyes looked worried as he looked at me, clenching his fists.

"what why?" I was completely lost

"Because I am the officer who's been hunting him. Lilja come here, away from him" I turned to see James, face dark. I got up and went over to him.

"That is the guy who killed my parents, who killed your Madeline... Lilja its time for you to get your revenge, our revenge"
