Let the Light Show

Chapter 42: Freedom Comes with a Price

~~Flashback~~

Mother's POV

  "Goodbye, my sweet child." I kiss her one last time before my husband grabs my hand and starts to run with me right behind. She'll be safe, she'll be safe. They will never find her. Not until the time comes. 

  "OVER THERE!" They found us. 

  "(Mother's name) this way!" (Father's name) yells. We run down an alleyway only to be cornered and trapped by Casper's men. 

  "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Two of my favorite companions."

  "We are not your companions no longer Casper! You made us do terrible things to innocent people! We're suppose to be together and try to stop the titans! Not be at each others throats like two rabid dogs!" (Father's name) exclaims. 

  "Oh, that's where you are sorely mistaken. Without evil and hatred and all that good stuff, I wound't be where I am as of now. I have the power to make you do anything I say and wish with a wave of a hand."

  "Not anymore you don't. You'll never manipulate us ever again with that dark magic!" I exclaim. 

"Oh, but I will." 

Everything fades into blackness.

~~~~

  Where am I?? 

"(Father's name)?!" Where are you?"

  "Oh don't worry about that old dog, he's out doing a mission for me."

  "What have you done with him you monster!?" I spat. 

  "Oh just sent him on a errand to kill some people in my way."

  "Why!? Why do you do this?! You're ending innocent lives who have done nothing wrong to you."

  "Oh, but they are doing something to me. They're giving off hope and love. Can't have that now do we." 

  "You can't dismiss the fact of hope. Its always there and it will always be there. No matter how dark the world is. There will be a light." 

  "Oh. But you see. Thats just my point. The 'light' will always want to protect the people they love the most. And with you has my bargain chip, Mr. (Last Name), will have to do whatever I say with your life on the line. As with the darkness, nothing penetrates its emotions. It loves nor cares for no one, but itself."

  "What did you do?!"

  "Oh, do you mean how I threatened your beloved husband? I just said that I'd kill you since your chakra is being restrained and suck right out of you and or...mmm...ha...haha..HAHAHAHA..."

  "What' s so funny?"

  "Just the second threat scared the living daylights out of him. The second option was that I'd give you to my men a 'spoil of war' and they could use you has much as they please, with your restraints of course. He rolled over like a dog. It was incredibly hilarious to see he'll do anything for you."

  "You sick ba*tard!!"

  "Ah, ah, ah. Wouldn't want a young lady like yourself to say such words. Its not very ladylike is it?"

  Then he left. 

  Hours past and my husband was returned to me. He always asked if they hurt me or even touched me. They never did, that is...if the job was successful. They always were until...one fateful mission.
