Ailani was completely confused by the person she saw staring at her, before they zoomed off. She stood up, and ran out of the alley way, and put into the open again. She watched the three figures zip away in amazement. A smile on her face. At this point, she had completely forgotten about the incident she saw with her father.

A small laugh escaped her lips as she looked behind her, and saw more people with those flying machines chasing after them. She ran in the direction they were going. The speed and the wind making her hair fly behind her. She was fast, but not as fast as they were.

She saw the man whom she had eye contact with zoom into a building, so she followed. Using the shadows as her cover, she looked around to make sure the men who were chasing the others weren't following her. When the close was clear, she went up the stairs and slowly pushed the door open. Seeing the three. A tall man with blonde hair. The one she made eye contact with, short black hair and eyes she could get lost in. Then a female, about the same height as the ravenette but with red hair.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. I didn't think anyone was here." Ailani lied. But she was a good liar, so it wasn't easily detected. Pulling her eyes away from them, she looked at their maneuver gear. Unable to help being curious.

"Well, you can leave now. Now that you know people are here." The ravenette said coldly. She looked up from the gear and stared him down. Her own eyes growing so much colder. She couldn't go home. Not with what she just found out. She sighed softly.

"Right. Sorry."

"Wait. Levi, you can't just kick her out." The blonde one stepped up. Going over to Envy and placing a hand on her back. He smiled warmly at her. "Don't mind him. He's just upset we got chased down. I'm Farlan and he's Levi." The girl nodded slowly, looking to the other female.

"And I'm Isabel!" The red head said cheerfully. Ailani smiled softly as she nodded again. She carefully pointed to the gear they wore. Introducing herself as well.

"So, I saw you guys using that to fly around. What is it?"

"3D Maneuver Gear." The ravenette spoke up. Looking at the girl with those piercing eyes. She felt her heart beat faster. Clearly a bit uncomfortable. She hummed. "Is it hard to use?"

"Not really! Once you get the balance part down, it's smooth sailing from there!" She heard Isabel exclaim. Patting the gear mounted on her waist. Ailani looked over at the window, seeing the time just by the shadows. She cussed slightly, pulling away from Farlan. She excused herself and hurried to the door. "I apologize for intruding, but I really have to go. Thank you for your time."

"Hey, if you find us tomorrow, maybe we'll teach you." She heard Farlan say. Bringing a smile to her beautiful face. She nodded quickly and rushed out the door. Rushing down the stairs and racing back towards her home.

When she arrived home, she looked to her mother who was standing in the kitchen. Preparing dinner. The older woman hummed softly, looking up from the cutting board of potatoes to smile at her daughter.

"You're all in one piece I see. Did you go see your father?" Ailani tensed with her mother's question. Because she knew the truth. She definitely did see her father. But not in the position, she wanted. Peeling off her hoodie, she hung it on the back of the kitchen table chair. Just be honest.

"Yeah, I saw him.. Mom, there's something I should tell you.." She started. The teen was clearly nervous. Walking over to her mother, the woman still cheerful. "Tell me while you help out. Come now little one." Even though she was 20, she was still called little one by her mother. She never minded. Just doing as she was told. Going over and beginning to wash off the vegetables. Before she could start speaking again, the door opened and in cane her father. She glanced over and saw the man.

He walked over to his wife and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Wrapping his arms around her shoulders and whispering in her ear.

"I love you."

That's what set Ailani off. She slammed the bowl down onto the counter. Grabbing both of their attention.

"Mom. He's cheating on you. I saw him! Fucking another woman on his desk at work!"

The teen yelled. Determined to expose her father for the bastard that he was. The man winced, clearly pissed at what she was saying. He went over, grabbing Envy by the wrist, pulling her close to him.

"You didn't give me a chance to explain myself! It wasn't it looked like-"

"I know what I saw, Dad! You can't just stand there an lie!"

Her father grew angry, and out of instinct he pushed his daughter away. Making her stumble and fall onto the ground. His wife shook her head, only because she knew. But couldn't leave. He grabbed his wife by the collar of her dress. Yelling at her that she had to believe him. When the woman didn't say anything, he snapped.

Smack!

Ailani looked up in anger. Seeing that he had just slapped her mother across the face. Adrenaline rushed through her blood as she grabbed the knife from the counter and charged at her father. Stabbing him right in the side. She missed. He screamed out in agony and clutched his wound.

"Put your hands on my mother again, and I'll make sure not to miss next time." Ailani said, her voice dripping with venom, while her knife dropped with blood. Breathing heavy, she went over to her mother and guided her to the living room. Sitting on the couch, while she went back to deal with her father.

"Get out. Go with that other woman."

Her father looked up at him in absolute shock. Breathing heavy, he stood up. Barely able to stand up straight. And stumbled out of the home. Ailani listened for the door to slam shut, and when it did. She sighed. Pinched the bridge of her nose as she continued to cook dinner for her mother.

She needed to leave. The Underground was horrible and she hated it. And she knew just the people to help her.
