The Prince of Darkness

Chapter 17: Parents

Lincoln led me into a dark room, and then shut the door behind me.

"Lincoln." I say.

"Just wait." Lincoln says, then lets go of my arm and strides forward.

I can feel the two people's fear. Lincoln was very intimidating.

"Are you Charlotte and Jacob Harris?" Lincoln asks.

"Who are you to demand that?" The man asks.

Lincoln does something, and I'm not sure what he does, but they seem to panic even more.

"Lord Lincoln." They say.

"Hey. So let me ask you again. Are you Charlotte and Jacob Harris?" Lincoln says calmly, but I can sense the underlying threat.

"Of course. What can we do for you?" They ask.

"I'm not here for you. I'm here for someone else. Now tell the truth, did you two have a daughter 18 years ago, and 15 years ago abandon her on a Tundra planet?" Lincoln demanded.

Their faces seemed to be confused.

"Yes, but why is that important?" They ask.

Everything goes black, everything seems to disappear. I see the two people for the first time. The woman, Charlotte, wore a rich dress made out of blood red satin, she was dripping in jewelry, mostly diamonds. She looked about 36. Her perfume, and make-up was expensive, she also had an expensive haircut, her blonde hair looked like it was put up by a stylist.

The man, Jacob, looked 38. He had slicked back brown hair, He wore a expensive suit, it was black with silver woven into it. The man wore a watch that was insanely expensive also, along with his dress shoes. I was brought back to the present. I was brought back by Lincoln saying something.

"It's important, because I found her." Lincoln says.

I could feel my parents moods completely change. I walked up beside Lincoln.

"Kira, meet your parents." Lincoln says.

I see my parents look at me. I see no love in their eyes. Their was just shock in their eyes, there wasn't even any remorse. I only felt anger at them. They had all the money they could possibly want.

I was left alone by them to fend for myself. I look into their eyes, and just glare.

"Why did you leave me?" I ask.

"We got money by selling you, so we could start a new life for ourselves, and we ended up doing pretty well. Incredibly wealthy, and we didn't have a whiny child to look after." My mom says.

"Why a Tundra planet. Why not an easily habitable planet?" I demand.

"We got the best deal for you there, and we thought you'd die." My mom says again.

I feel an anger welling up in me, and I also felt an incredible loss. I wanted to cry, scream, and throw things. I was not going to cry in front of these assholes.

"Well I didn't die." I snarl.

"We know it's a shame. We were pretty young when we had you Charlotte was 18, and I was 20. So, we weren't exactly smart, we didn't even give you name." My dad says.

"Kira." Lincoln says.

I know he was warning me of something, he could sense how I was feeling, but why was he telling me not to be angry.

"Lord Lincoln, what are you doing with her? She's a no-one." My dad says.

I felt Lincoln smile at me.

"Oh she's not no-one." Lincoln says.

Before they could respond I heard a voice in my head. It was dark, cold, and threatening. "Do it!" The voice hisses. "They abandoned you, and have lived a life of wealth at your expense." The voice hisses. At that point I was so overwhelmed by anger I didn't need to be told twice.

I thrust my hands out. My parents started choking. I moved them, so they were against a wall, and they were lifted off the ground.

"I am not no one!" I hiss.

My chain necklace was moved, so they could see the blue-green crystal. Their eyes widened.

"I have been told multiple times that I'm extremely powerful, as powerful as Lincoln." I hiss.

"Kira!" Lincoln shouts.

I moved closer to them. I could see them turning purple.

"Kill them!" The voice in my head shouted.

"KIRA!" Lincoln shouted.

That shout seemed to connect. I dropped them absolutely appalled by what I had done. Lincoln came to my side, and rested his hand on my shoulder, shivers passed through my body, and a calmness also. He gently pulled me away from my parents, then he crouches in front of them while they took in deep breaths of air.

"She's no-one huh? Your daughter is a powerful crystal-user, and I know she's apart of the Resistance, her crew has caused lots of problems for us." Lincoln says.

They don't say anything. I hear swords appear from Lincoln's crystal, and then the smell of metal fills my nose. I walk back towards the soldiers. I see Lincoln stab my mother, then slit my father's throat, before joining me.

"Lets go." Lincoln says.

The guards escort us back to the ship. On the ship I go into my room.
