Boundless

Chapter 9

It was early afternoon by the time Emilia and Lilias got Finn cleaned up and in bed. Emilia didn't help much, Finn refused to be in the same room as her while he was naked.

"I don't want her looking at me! Or touching me!" Finn cried.

Emilia rolled her eyes and lent against the door frame. Lilias huffed and put her hands on her hips.

"Finn," she said. "You know she's the only one who knows how to treat your wounds properly."

Finn made an irritated sound and folded his arms across his chest.

"I don't care if I'm about to die. She isn't touching me. She might molest me."

Lilias gave him a look, then turned to Emilia and mouthed sorry. Emilia shrugged and left the blood covered bathroom. While Lilias put Finn to bed Emilia wondered around the kitchen looking for cups to make lemonade. While she was popping ice cubes into the drinks Lilias came out rubbing her right temple. Lilias flopped down onto the plush, red couch and rested her head back. Emilia placed the drinks on the coffee table and sat down across from Lilias.

"Sorry about Finn." Lilias croaked. "He doesn't trust easily."

Emilia nodded and sipped her drink. Lilias sat forward and looked at Emilia severely. "His mum died when he was 15."

Emilia placed her drink on the table and raised a brow. Emilia had the same happen to her, which made the story interesting. It was hard to interest her now-a-days, after everything she's seen nothing interested her anymore.

"He saw her die." Lilias was gazing at the wall, as though she could see the memory there. She could. "It was a raid and she got shot. The raid was planned perfectly, whoever planned it must have been smart. He was in a rich family. His farther was an angel, but he didn't know that. The farther he grew up with? His name was Fillip. When his farther, the angel, had sex with his mum, he was in a copy of Fillip. Meaning on the outside he looked like Fillip, but it was really the angel. Anyway his mum had the baby and he grew up with the real Fillip and no one knew Finn was part angel." Lilias paused for a moment, her mind ticking over. "He was in bed asleep when they broke into his house. They called themselves the 'E Monsters'. Everyone knew the gang but no one knew who was in the gang. Finn woke up from a loud smash and could hear multiple voices yelling. When he heard gunshots he ran out of bed and to the stairs. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw a man pointing a gun at his mum. She was in hysterics, crying, sniffling, begging him not to shoot her. Finn acted on impulse and ran at the man tackling him to the ground. Finn played rugby and knew very well how to tackle. He punched the crap out of that man. His face was mangled when Finn stopped. Finn stood up and spun around to face his mum. He saw her say the start of his name but she was interrupted by a loud gunshot, she stopped short, her mouth parted. He watched the blood seep through her night gown on her chest. She collapsed in a tangled mess and standing behind her was someone still holding the gun up. The gunman was a woman. Her hair was hidden up under a beanie and she was completely coved in black. A black shirt, black, leather pants, black leather jacket and a piece of black fabric covering from the bottom of her eyes to her neck. The only thing visible were her eyes, which were a jet black that shined. It was as if her eyes said that she got a kick out of killing people. Finn just stared at her, his expression doing all the talking, asking why? why? why? The girl just shook her head slightly, "Don't trust her." Was all her muffled voice said and she disappeared into thin air." Lilias stopped talking and snapped back to reality. She looked upset, happy and lost all at once.

"What happened after she left?" Emilia asked softly. Not wanting to push the wrong buttons. Lilias opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by another voice.
