2022-02-20 04:15:26The moment Rachel moved inside her room, it was immediate, both Sarah and the man lunged together at Morpheus, but it was just as hopeless.
For a while, he just blocked her fist and his knife, the two of them weren't able to push him back at all.
*CLAANG!*
His palm clashed against the knife and much to the surprise of the two of them, it was the heat knife that was deteriorating!
*BOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!------
That surprise caused a flaw that was more than enough for Morpheus to take advantage of... not that he needed to.
He kicked the man's chest precisely when he was aligned between the open door and him, sending him flying straight out of the house and crashing on the streets.
"Ashton!!" Sarah yelled to her boyfriend only to notice how a palm was straight in front of her face.
*SLAAAPP!!!*
This slap... it was the real deal.
It crashed her body harshly against the floor, leaving her there for a good few minutes, dizzy.
The time that Morpheus took to go out of the house and beat the crap out of Ashton.
*BAANGG!!*
*BAANGG!!*
*BAANGG!!*
"H-HELP!!"
*BAANGG!!*
While struggling to stand up, Sarah could only hear the noise of mechanical parts breaking, grunts of pain and finally a hard crash.
Morpheus undusted his palms after he threw Ashton away like a piece of trash, he likely crashed against a building and possibly phased through the walls, but he didn't care.
The boy might as well be dead now since he dared to take out a knife, he must also be ready to lay down his own life.
By the time Sarah stood up, he was already in front of her.
*SLAAP!!*
*BAANG!!*
She crashed harshly against the ground again, and this time, that wasn't all.
*BOOOOMMM!!*
He kicked her stomach and blasted her away, crashing against the wall heavily.
Perhaps not able to restrain his anger, Rachel had cleaned the house before leaving... and now everything is a disaster.
"You're going to clean this shit, understood?"
"..." Now she knew he was the real deal.
*COUGH!*
She spat some blood, that kick from before, he didn't hold back like before.
"I'm just going to fuck off and leave the house, bastard... I don't care..." She uttered, not truly intending to follow with this threat, she's just seventeen years old, where is she going to go?
But at this age, youngsters are anything if not headstrong.
"If you're not going to clean this place for yesterday, then 'fuck off' and don't come back." He didn't care, however... after what she did today, it's better if she just leaves.
Just as the two of them remained in a lock, Rachel came out of the room, sobbing.
"NO, PLEASE!!"
"..." The two of them regarded her even as Sarah felt her heart clutching slightly.
"What? now you care...?" He mocked, why is she showing this expression after all the shit she has done?
"Shut up... just shut up... you don't get anything..." She grit her teeth and stumbled on her feet, as expected that good for nothing didn't accomplish anything, he didn't even last two exchanges.
"... Sarah... clean the house." Rachel clenched her hands and uttered those words straight at her granddaughter's
"..." The girl lowered her gaze and didn't say or did anything.
*THUD!*
Morpheus closed the door of the house, getting both of their attentions.
"You're going to clean this house now since Rachel doesn't want you to go, then you can't go... you have two options, you either clean the house, or I'll beat the crap out of you worse than I did that fellow..."
!!!
"M-Morpheus."
"Go back in your room, Rachel... Good night." He sat on the main couch, disgusted by the smell in the entire house.
<Elemental Output: Wind>
"Grandma, go back... this is between him and me, you don't have to meddle." She finally straightened and took out her school jacket, remaining only on her shirt.
The two of them didn't even notice how the smell of the entire house cleared all too suddenly.
"Morpheus, please... don't be too hard on her... she's just... ugh... stubborn..." Rachel was already too emotionally tired to continue, she just went back in her room and this time she didn't eavesdrop, she cooked too much today and felt like she needed a rest.
When she closed the door the silence remained for a long time.
"Aren't you going to check on your boyfriend? he might be dying as we speak..." He wondered about this detail, not truly caring about the guys' safety, but since he's her dog, she might as well care for her dog a bit, not?
"I don't care... that weakling... I knew he wasn't going to do anything... I'm stronger than him, but I had to try."
Apparently not.
She encircled him and raised her guard, no matter how many times he beat her, she wouldn't surrender, she wouldn't bow down.
This is how you survive in the streets.
When she was behind him, the position that she considered would be harder for him to counter, she punched straight at his head...
*BAANGG!!*
He didn't move... he didn't do anything... but yet, it felt as if she just... she hit a steel wall surely.
!!!
"I-Impossible..." He didn't budge even a bit.
Morpheus stood up with a sigh, preparing to beat the shit out of this girl again until she finally became obedient.
He can see within her soul, she's not a bad girl... she has just been raised wrong.
*SLAAP!!!*
Once again the slap was enough to take her down, he grasped her arm and threw her on the couch, then mounted her abdomen like before, she didn't even seem to resist as he pinned her hands above her head with a single one and slapped her again.
*SLAAP!!*
That fist just now destroyed any wisp of hope she had on winning.
She had used her entire strength and hit him square in the head, yet did nothing... if that's not despairing, what is?
"Are you going to clean the house or not?"
"..."
*SLAPP!!*
"Yes, or not?"
*sob*
She sobbed, but once again, he slapped her.
"What are you crying for? was it hard? your childhood?"
!!!
She immediately raised her head to look at him when he mentioned that, she hadn't been expecting those words.
"What? Do you think I don't know? you were raised alone, surviving alone, doing everything by yourself... you think I don't know? your parents died early, your grandmother had to take care of you, but she's never in the house, you quickly drifted through the bad path... possibly bullying, you had to change, become merciless, secure yourself... you had it difficult... you used drugs to relieve your stress... you used sex to relieve your pain... you used the enhancements to become stronger... you became colder to secure your heart... do you think... I don't know?" His cold glare remained on her eyes, unleashing every fear her soul had, every apprehension.
!!!
Her sobs intensified right at that moment... that's exactly it.
But even then, he still slapped her again!
*SLAAP!*
"S-STOP!!"
*SLAPP!!*
"You have suffered, but does that give you the freedom to destroy the only person that has supported you?"
!!!!
"Your grandma is the only person that has sacrificed herself for you, more than those friends of yours, more than any boyfriend... and she's the person you're treating the worst... do you think because you suffered, that gives you the right to make others suffer! you're just a piece of disgusting being, you hate your own grandma! the person that has always protected you!"
*Sob*
At that moment those words seemed to pierce her heart.
"I'm sorry... I don't... I don't hate grandma!! don't say that I hate her! It's not the truth!!" She yelled right at his face, it's the truth, she doesn't hate her grandma... she has been trying to help this house as much as she can but... she has also messed up along the way.
"Then why do you insist on messing up over and over!?"
"I... I don't know!! I DON'T KNOW!! I JUST... DON'T WANT TO APPEAR WEAK..."
"..."
At that moment, as she sobbed, he stopped the slapping contest that he obviously won, and stood up from her abdomen.
The girl just placed her bionic hand above her eyes and sobbed, but as she sobbed her mind seemed to go through a period of realisation, perhaps... she has truly fucked up a lot... indeed, she has suffered, bullying, abuses... she had to become stronger, no one was there to protect her but... does that mean that she has to retaliate against the only person that has ever supported her?
Her grandmother was never there, but... was it her fault? it wasn't... she had been trying to provide for the house all along.
Those thoughts moved through her mind as she looked for the guilty one, only to realise that all along, the one that had been wrong is her.
...
He sat down on the other couch with his legs crossed, waiting...
And it took a good half an hour before Sarah eventually stood up, moved to the kitchen moistened a towel and started to clean the house... it was only at that moment that she noticed the smell of weed was gone as she had been intending to get rid of it.
It was two hours past midnight when she finished cleaning, she even passed the hoover through the carpet stairs...
"I'm finished..." She said and stood up in front of him, holding her elbow with one hand, staring at the ground.
"Good, are you hungry?" He asked and raised from the couch.
"... Yes."
"Okay... I'll cook something, wait at the table."

Both grandmother and granddaughter hugged one another while Morpheus and Hana stood on the side, regarding the warm reunion. They knew that Rachel has seen the new restaurant and wanted to know what she thinks about it."I am... my day was wonderful, what about yours? how was your day." The one tasked to question that was Sarah, she smiled and awaited her grandmother's response."It was... amazing! There is so much I want to say... come and sit, Null and I prepared your dishes." She beaconed for the entire group to enter the kitchen and sit.Morpheus nodded and came in together with the girls, heading straight for the kitchen where Null was with an apron, cooking... said android turned around, a little surprised when he took her by the waist."Null..."

The bells resonated across the campus, signifying the end of yet another day of studies, Hana walked peacefully, her friend had already departed on her own; leaving her to wander the halls of the campus by herself, moving to the front where a self-driving vehicle awaited with dark windshields.A majestic Bentley."Did your girl also say that she'd go with Bryce?" Hana entered the Bentley parked at the campus entrance, Sarah was inside having arrived earlier."She did... but Bryce said he's busy" The two of them gave each other a small kiss on the cheeks and Hana slumped on the passenger seat releasing a sigh."When are we going to tell them?" Sarah asked with crossed arms, it's obvious that bastard Bryce is playing around with their friends."I don't know... do we have the right to tell them? we're doing the same." Hana placed her bag on her delicate tights, the two of them had played it nice this time, a competition of sorts.Prior, Sarah had taken the passenger seat while Hana sat i

Like a stupid little girl, Sarah swayed back and forth, unable to contain her happiness.'I have the best boyfriend ever!'But then she slumped slightly, 'But I have to share him...'Sighing she remained on the rooftop for a while before preparing to make her way back, but when she opened the door to go downstairs, she found a gruesome vision."Sarah."A voice said softly, a tall boy appeared in front of her, marred with tattoos and a hooligan appearance."...?"She heard a voice just as she was preparing to make her way back to the classroom, a man crept from the stairs, impeding her way forward.The girl regarded a boy... too known to her that it even produced disgust, so

She answered, not paying attention but giggling still, one could tell she was happy."You have a boyfriend!? what about Ashton!?""Secret, and he's not the 'new' boyfriend... he's the love of my life also... fuck Ashton."She answered again, giggling stupidly unaware that she just said the 'secret', not paying attention to the growling fool to the other side of the room."A-And you came out with the school belle as well!?"

Granny's Gratitude
"Oh my dear, t-this place is..." Rachel gasped, looking around after Null took her hands out of her eyes, brightening up the previous darkness that isolated her eyes from seeing the 'marvellous surprise'. It was a shop for sale, one where her store is going to be next, no longer having to move that stall all over, now she can come here early in the morning, and everything will be prepared for her. "This is for you Rachel, actually... we're going to refurbish the house as well." Null smiled, feeling slightly content at the granny's reaction to everything around, the shop was clean, with glass screens and modern flooring, completely different to her humble stall, it was elegant, and obviously, this wouldn't be its last state. Rachel was simply delighted that she had such a shop, a ten-metre square front shop of the same size in the back a kitchen with all the equipment. 'Oh my...' tears were about to come out of her bionic pupils. "B-But that..." "Don't worry Rachel, everything wil

Morpheus regarded her in her battle pose, wondering what she intends... he has already expected several motherships to be rounding him as they speak, but that doesn't seem to be the case; before he was limited due to his lack of mana, but now... if they wanted to take him down they needed at least a quarter of this planet's weaponry, let alone just her body."Is it because I managed to discover you?" Regarding his awkward silence, Marianne started to float around, analysing his entire profile up and down again and again as if learning his every contour."How did y

Morpheus had camouflaged himself and gone on his way with a phone in his hand, he flew across the skies of England, following V2's signals."I only have the location of another two reactors, one of them within the UK, another one outside... the ones outside are going to be even more difficult to find, but they shine for their absence; overly exaggerated security methods often serve to pinpoint either a reactor, a military base or a secret corporation..." V2 explained along the way, intending to unravel his intentions but also, render support to his fruitful endeavour."I just want to know where they are, when the time comes... no further time shall be wasted." Right now there are too many things in his mind that he believed wouldn't enter his line of thought for a long time; romance... such a void feeling, yet those girls had carved their way in.'I can't allow such things to distract me.'"You said

A short journey afterwards, the Bently arrived in front of the pair's high school in central London; a radian academy brimming with school life; couples and of course, neons.Morpheus visually flinched at the sight of that many lights, turns out Sarah's jaws had been some kind of trending as there were several girls and boys using them; thankfully, his Sarah had already moved through that phase.Several of the students marvelled at the sudden entrance of a pricy vehicle, but the two of them didn't exit straight away or head into class looking for their friends.It's Morpheus' first time seeing the campus, so they decided to stay a little longer; moreover, for once they're not late or anything of the sort, so it's not an issue."We're here." Sarah sighed, another day another class... with the fantastic amount of events though her life at the moment, she felt the least motivated to start going to 'clas
