Forget The Past (Ereri)

Chapter 17 - Monster

Levi's enemies call him Rivaille.

Zinx's P.O.V:

I was pissed. I was fuming. I was angry. I hate this. I hate him. I hate everything.

I'm done with all this nonsense.

I'm going to break free from my Master's tight and suffocating grasp, and avenge Sammy. Even if it kills me. I had received notice that Sammy was indeed killed at the hands of Rivaille and his people. And that infuriated me even more. He's gone, and there's nothing that can bring him back.

Nothing that can bring back his sweet smile, his charming voice, and his soft demeanor. The only thing that can put his soul to rest is to do the deed he set out to do, and take tge life of whoever dared put a bullet through his chest.

I don't know who did it, but I have a strong feeling it was Rivaille. He's an evil being, like my master, who only cares about himself and his power.

"Zinx. Where are you going?" I heard my master ask. Damn. I thought I could've escaped.

"Master, I'm going to go avenge Sammy."

"You can't go by yourself. You'll face the same fate Samuel did. I can't afford to lose another elite. You do know that children like you and Samuel were really hard to come by."

My hard expression softened in confusion. "What?"

"Finding children with abilities like you and Samuel is really hard to do. And both of you together were very expensive. About two billion just for you, and around one billion for Samuel."

"I thought you said no one wanted me..."

"That was a lie. Everyone wants gifted children. I just wanted control over you, and, I do."

I clenched my teeth. There were no normal red-heads anymore, and no one ever grows hair the color I have. We are gifted children? What does that even mean?

"If you try to leave I will have to stop you by force, Zinx."

My clenched teeth started grinding together in frustration. All this time, my entire life had been a lie. I wasn't unawanted. I was sold. Like a fucking tool.

"I'm sorry, master. I want to be free," I said quietly, turning and sprinting down the long hall. I knew he would catch up to me eventually, but I would be outside by then. And then I could escape.

I want to be free.

"If you keep going I'll have to punish you, Zinx. You know that," his loud voice bounced around in my ears. But freedom was louder.

I have to be free.

"Your parents were killed, you know that, right Zinx?"

I need to be free.

I saw the door, and burst through it. Turning around to face my master...or should I even call him that.

He was very angry looking. His usually calm composure wasn't there anymore, and was replaced with greed.

"C'mon Zinx. If you come back with me, I won't hurt you. We both know I can run faster than you could possibly ever sprintm," he gasped. Tucking a stray strand of hair behind his ear.

"I have a secret," I said quietly.

"Speak up, Zinx. No one wants a mumbler."

"I have a secret!" I said louder.

"What kind? You can tell me," he purred.

Instead of telling the man, I simply grinned. Clenching my fists and tensing up my shoulders. He noticed this, and seemed to know exactly what was going on.
