Steampunk Princess (Generator Rex/Ben 10 crossover & love triangle)

Chapter 2

When I woke up, I found myself at home. I remembered being let out with a sleeping Julia. They said we got millions of dollars in donations and could pay off the house for life with the taxes and bills we had so much. So that was what I did. I payed it off and even went out and bought a new bike. It was a Harley Davidson VRSCDX Night Rod that was indeed black and had some advances I was told, being a repair. It came with a black helmet resembling a Tron one with the lights and the shape and how it comes on and off. The bike can also glow like a Tron bike as well at night or when I want it to. It was in the two car garage right now.

I got up and off the queen bed and found Julia asleep next to me. It was a week ago mom died. Yesterday was the funeral. I kept thinking the day before about all the attention we would get and called the police and asked for no paparazzi or anything and they agreed to help. We had a nice spot where dad was buried, near where we live. It was under a cherry blossom tree with an oriental stone bench in a private trail area that was Japanese theme and oriental, the beauty indescribable. We had a four person gravestone and mom and dad were in the middle, reunited again. There was also a nice pond with a water fall and streams and flowers with trees and lanterns. It was all just beautiful. There was an iron electric gate all around where only I could access it that could barely be seen, only at the entrance with the large gate.

Julia groaned and rolled over. She was so cute. I felt bad for she had to go to school tomorrow and me the day after that. School. Our new school in a new home with so many bad memories already. Great.

I brushed my unruled gold hair with my bangs ever so slightly covering up the grey eye and shadowing it mostly at least so they couldn't see. My hair fell into soft and loose curls on my right side mostly, some on the left. My slim body had some muscle to it and I was actually pretty short. But I was told by creepy rape people that my bum and chest were a nice size. Disgusting and insulting, huh? I thought so and beat the crud out of them all by hand. That was two weeks ago. I grabbed a gold and bronze flower clip with the back layer bronze and the top layer gold. I clipped my hair by my green eye aside and left the other to shadow my other eye. I grabbed a necklace Mom gave to me. It was a brown leather cord with a gold plate, victorian style pendant with an oval emerald perfectly cut in it with a lace-like pattern of gold around it with some bronze around the emerald to keep it in place. (Necklace and clip and look on front cover.)

I sighed as I clipped on the necklace and clip and put on a light blue tee with brown ripped shorts and grabbed mom's brown messenger bag. What I found inside that was a complete surprise and I always hide it so careful, not even the most skilled of people can find it. I guess you will find out soon...

I slid on brown, mid-calf combat boots with blue leather buckles on the front (boots and similar style also on front cover.)

"Kell?" I heard Julia say sleepily. I looked to her and smiled slightly. I rarely talked and showed emotion anymore. I was mute out in crowded places and only talked when needed and only to Julia. No one else.

"Hm?" I hummed to her as I helped her up gently and put on her Hello Kitty robe.

"Can we have chocolate chip pancakes like mom made us every Wednesday like today? Her same recipe?"

It broke my heart to hear this, but I instantly agreed. We need to keep on a tradition, to stay alive. We walked downstairs to the modern kitchen and Julia helped me cook. We stirred the batter and added the chips in the bake as we put them on the pancake tray and flipped them. After they were finished, we added chocolate syrup. We sat down and ate and giggled as we got sauce all over our faces. We washed up and put the dishes in the dishwasher and Julia got ready in a pink tee and white shorts with white and pink sneakers as she took my hand and I grabbed the keys, extra helmet, and my wallet and we walked out and locked the house up. We got on the bike and shut the garage and I handed her a pink helmet and set her in front of me.
