Oceanside

Solei

[First Person Chapter]

[Solei, Age 12]

I walked along the trash covered streets walking past rats who were scurrying across the alley.

My life is horrible.

I live in a kingdom called Oceanside where poverty is a common thing. Sure there are people who have ok lives. We call them Middle Missy's....or at least the adults call them that.

I continued over to our shack and saw my dad sitting down talking to our gun expert.

".....so I can buy this gun?"

"Mhm, best gun that I could get my hands on"

My dad thought for a moment.

"Alright I'll take that and the Python." The man smiled and gave him the guns for free. The salesman then left the house somewhat in a hurry.

"Hey catch." My dad threw the gun and I caught it. It was somewhat like a revolver and held six bullets. I moved my hand along its smooth wood-ish part.

"We'll how was your morning dear?" I didn't answer but I gave a smile which meant "good"

"We'll that's mighty nice, but we have to go to town square. Mr. Military said we have something big coming up."

My dad got up and I walked with him. Mr. Military was our leading military commander and came up with all of our looting runs and attacks.

"Y'know...you're starting to look an awful lot like your mother.....that girl was hot as hell."

He chuckled.

I did not.

My dad never spoke of mom. All I ever heard was that she went overseas to get money for the family. She went to the furthest regions of King Oceanside's reign, Near Tawai, and well....during the rebellion fires she was killed off. But I don't believe that because she has survived worse according too my dad.

"I'm sure you'll find a nice man to marry once your older."

"Yeah, I'll make sure you like him dad."

As we arrived to the town square Mr. Military was making proclamations."

"SO EVERYONE DOES AGREE WITH RAIDING THE CASTLE?!"

Everyone cheered but I froze. 'RAID the Castle?! That's a stupid idea we will just become like the rebelling islands!'

"Mr. Military that's a really bad idea" I spoke up but I regretted doing so. He glared at me.

"Why is it Solei?" I tried to get words out of my mouth.

"B....because King....Ocean..side helps us..." I stuttered like a retard. Mr. Military only chuckled.

"Help us? The only help he is giving us is the help to DIE! He never has ever helped us live!" I felt something moving through my blood as he spoke.

"He wants us to go to hell that way when he goes down there to- he will continue ruling us!" My hands started feeling hot and seethed with a pain that felt like poison. I looked down and saw a ball of green energy with fire surrounding it moving around my hands.

I chucked both of them at Mr. Military. The fire ended up disappearing and the green glob nailed him in the face.

He then started throwing up profusely.

'....like always...' I have this strange power to gather a poisonous ball and fire that swirls around in my hands but whenever I chuck it at someone the fire disappears.

"You BITCH!" Mr. Military ran up and punched me in the face. It hurt like hell and I screamed before everything went black.

"....how will you like being controlled by hypnosis eh little Solei...." Mr. Military chuckled.
