Burn Me to Butterflies

:-:Chapter 2:-:

I groan as Lion Boy sits at the table in the dining room. Thomas takes one look at him then grips my arm tightly, pulling me off into the kitchen.

"Kris! Who is this guy?" He whispers, obviously trying not to explode in rage.

I roll my eyes before saying, "He is Lion Boy and he's staying for dinner. Not that I had a choice, he invited himself in." Thomas groans and looks back at Lyon. He seems to be trying to decided whether to knock him out and throw him in a well or kill him on the very spot. Either way, he's not looking happy.

"He can stay for dinner just this once. I'll cook for you, you keep an eye on this guy. If I have to watch him for more than five seconds, I'm going to lose it." Thomas points out to the dining room, signaling me to leave. He really gets on my nerves sometimes. I walk out, leaving Thomas to his silent swearing about cooking. He hates cooking so he must really not to be around Lyon.

Speaking of, where'd the pest go? He was no longer at the table. I walk down the hall and see him standing in front of the small end table we have in the hall. When I look closer, I see he's holding something in his hand.

"What do you have there?" I ask, stepping closer.

"She was beautiful." he says. Lyon's voice was sweet and sincere. His eyes stay focused on what I now know for sure is in his hands.

"Thank you." I'm a bit shocked. Here I thought he was just an insensitive jerk.

"Just like you." he lifts his head and I see a smirk plastered on his face. Lion Boy's back.

"Whatever. Just put it back."

"Dinner! Leave my sister alone, you creep!" Thomas calls from the kitchen. Guess he gave up on stew and settled on sandwiches. I'm not complaining. The sooner Lion Boy leaves, the better.

"And that, is how Janea Jonathan took over all major companies in the country back in 2030. Any questions?" The instructor turns to us all. His white suit with red tie glowing blindingly in the sun that seeps through the windows of the old, worn down room.

"What was she attempting again?" Alyson asks from across the room.

"World domination. However, right as she was about to succeed she was assassinated. Next question?" The instructor waits for anyone to raise their hands. However no one does so he turns back to the board. "Let us continue. What was the great Mad Man's reason for taking control?"

"To create a better country."

"More like to tear everyone apart and put them through hell while he sits on his stupid throne." I mutter.

"Would you like to say something, Ms. Lotus?" The instructor asks sharply.

"No sir."

"Then keep your mouth shut. One more thing out of you and you'll get the same punishment Mr. Bronze had received. Question for you, Ms. Lotus. What was on March 19, 2042 in District Y, Sector S?" He steps close to me. He smells of roses but is merely a thorn.

"The Crimson Spilling."

"And what was that?"

"The day protests broke out and as a result, each and every person within the area received seventy lashes all across their body." I remember reading about it clearly.

"Keep that in mind, Ms. Lotus. It'd be a shame to have to whip you myself for your outbursts. Class dismissed." I stand and quickly leave the room with the rest of the class. Lina catches up to me.

"What was all that, Kris?" She asks.

"I don't like that stupid Mad Man. Never will." I take a left with Lina by my side. The hallway is only slightly more appealing than the classroom. Still same, boring brown paint and oak floors.

"You shouldn't say that so openly." Lina and I walk through the front doors and step out into the street.

"The whole world can know it. I don't care." We join the crowd and make our way to the house.

Suddenly, Lina stops me and points to a nearby Noble building. Walking in is a guy with dark brown hair that's well kept and clean. He wears a white suit like most Nobles do and stands up with pride.

"Hey is that..." He turns towards us and there's no doubt about it. I could recognize that stupid face anywhere.

"Lion Boy."
