THE GUARDIAN 2

CHAPTER 10: HER ORIGIN

The moon shown over our now beat up city. Soldiers were out cleaning the dead bodies of the fallen and looking for survivors. The citizens were evacuated to a city in Florida hours ago. I sat alone on the roof of a tall tower looking up at the stars. I was clueless on what to do next. "Feeling okay?" Christa said from behind me. I turned to see she had on a new change of clothes. She had military boots and some black shorts with a blue T-shirt. "How'd you get up here?" I asked. She then took a seat next to me.

"Learned how to fly" she said, I raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Since when?" I asked. "Just now, ever since I seen you do it I guess I just picked up on the technique of controlling gravity" she explained. Whoa, that's amazing, what is she? I thought to myself as I looked back up at the sky. "I don't use gravity to fly anymore I can do it on my own now" I told her. "Cool" Christa said as she looked up at the moon. "By the way, why do you want to help me out so badly?" I asked.

Christa sighed "because I can't help it, I don't want to be the bad guy everyone hates, I want friends, people who I trust to be by my side". "Really? Then how'd you end up in that lab where I found you?" I asked her. Christa looked at me with sadness in her eyes "do you really want to know?" She asked. I looked back at her "of course" I answered. Christa looked down over the city "promise you won't hate me?" She asked. "Why would I hate you?" I said. "Because..... You're the reason I was in that lab" she answered.

"Umm what?" I was obviously confused with that statement. "I was created to kill you Toby" she continued. "I used to have a loving family, me my mom and my big sister. We were poor in money but not in happiness. I didn't have much friends due to me having two people inside of my head, but my sister and mom were always there for me especially my sister". "What happened to them?" I asked. Christa clenched her fist, she then twitched and her eyes turned red. "They were killed" Crimson coldly said.

"Because of my multiple personalities I was born with twice as much mana then usual people. I had more magic power then professional high ranking officers at the age of 3. Word got around about my ability so Cindy sent a couple soilders to pick me up. My mom and sister put up a good fight but it was over soon as Carnage came from nowhere. He killed both my mom and sis then kidnapped me, he forced Majestas soilders and a few of her scientist to work for him and do experiments on me to further increase my power, I became almost god like".

"You're that strong?" I asked, Crimson closed her eyes and bowed her head. "Yes, but that's only when me and Christa merge as one. But it's dangerous last time we did it we.... we..... we" Crimson started to shake violently as tears rolled down her cheeks. I placed my hand on her shoulder "it's okay" I said soothingly. She stopped shaking and took a deep breath. "Anyways, it was hard keeping us in control, why have a weapon if it would turn on you the moment you try to use it" she went on.

"That pod you found me in was meant to erase my memories. But you saved me" Crimson then frowned and gritted her teeth as she clenched the edge of the roof. "I promise I'll do whatever it takes to find and kill Carnage. I'm going to skin that killer alive, I'm going to rip out his heart, I'm going tear him limb from limb and force him to watch as I feed his body parts to the hounds" Crimson yelled as she crushed the part of the roof she was holding on with her bare hands. "Wooooowww, well good luck with all that I guess" I said giving a thumbs up.

Crimson opened up her hands dropping the broken pieces of rubble over the the side. "Stone is so easy to break, it almost feels like fake wood" she said as she clapped the dust off her hands. I chuckled "yeah when you first start using all that power you have you start to...." I stopped as something occurred to me. Crimson looked at me with worry in her eyes "hey are you going through something?" She asked. I jumped up to my feet, "I got it!" I yelled. "Now you know I'm not going to know what you're talking about so can you just explain?" Crimson asked in frustration.

I looked down at her smiling "you're a genius, I'll see you later stay here" I said as I flew off. Crimson got up to her feet "where are you going?!" She asked, but I was already to far to answer her.
