The Other Side

Chapter 24

 I really need to learn how to control my feelings.

When I left the church I was literally nothing but a ball of tears. Like, people kept staring at me and it was just EMBARRASSING.

I wiped away at my eyes as I neared my castle, my home, the place I grew up. I needed to get my head out of the clouds and think.

I need an army.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lab looked like crap, considering the fact that not only had my last creation destroyed it, but it was no where to be found. What the police did with it, I have no clue whatsoever and frankly at this point, I don't care.

My mind set. I needed an army. An army that wouldn't betray me.

Sparks flew from my palms as words created my soldiers.

Fierce.

Loyal.

Protective.

Strong.

Defenders.

 My mind was going great,

Until a tap on the shoulder jolted me and caused me to spin and whack the person.

It landed with an " Oomph " as I struck my weapon in its face.

" Wait!!!" It coughed and held a hand. Weird. I felt I knew him. His eyes, his blue skin,

Axel.

" What are you doing here?? You don't belong!" I spat viciously. " And how'd you find me??"

He stood unsteadily and swallowed. " I want to help you. I know about Atticus and I want to help you rid him of this Earth. "

" You still didn't answer how in the ever loving $%^& you got here."

" Right. I followed you. "

What??

I can usually sense when somebody follows me. Why didn't I this time?? Maybe......OH!

He's not fully human.

" Um, well, I......erm.......I don't need your help. Now leave me alone. " I turned and tried to focus again.

AND AGAIN, I was rudely interrupted. " I WANT to help. Please Lillith. "

" Why do you keep annoying me? And why do you want to help so much??"

" I can't tell you. But Please I really want to. I can help build your army. "

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................

" Alright then, what do ya have then? I need a pretty good army and it's pretty hard to impress me. " 

" Give me 2 hours. "

" One and a half. No more. "

Axel sighed. " Fine. "

" Deal. "

-----------------------------------------------------------------

" AN ARMY?? WHAT DOES SHE THINK SHE IS??? AN ARMY CAN'T STOP ME!!!!" Atticus breathed heavily as he sat in a rage.

#46 replied, " Master, it was bound to happen. "

" BOUND TO HAPPEN?? IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING NOW, YOUR DEATH IS BOUND TO HAPPEN!!!!!! "

" Yes sir. "

" Now go fetch MY army. "

" As you wish. "
