PAST TIMES 3

"What you did isn't it enough?" My mom replied crying, I've never seen her like this after that day we left the village. "My dad disowned me, you humiliated me and chase me out of the village. I'm just trying to forget about everything, so please, LET US LIVE IN PE....."

My mother was cut short of her word when the third man stab my mom in the stomach in a dagger. I rushed angrily at them, they were shocked, maybe surprised to see me. He pulled the dagger out of her and went for me instead, I jumped down the stairs and just as the moment he was about to stab me my mom called out to me, he got distracted, and I used the opportunity to bend sideways allowing me to avoid his attack, I caught his hand and drag the dagger and threw it away from sight before using my left leg to kick him behind his knee, he kneeled down, and I kick his face, sending him flying across the room. The other guy caught me from behind and hit me on the floor, using his weight to put me down. My mom tried to fight them to save, when the third man cut off her head. I watched my mom being killed because of my foolishness, I began to tremble, my body shaking, my eyes opened wide with disbelief as the blood splash me, the whole place was filled with blood. If he just killed her that means I'm next, I'm going to die, I didn't want to die, I still have to protect Tokah, but I was filled with hated, vengeance, I was filled with it too much that I couldn't think straight.

" I'M... I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU EAR ME, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!" I yelled out of anger. Then I looked down at my mom head which rolled to the stairs, she was crying and smiling the same time. How can I say such a thing in front of my mother. Well, even though I die now, at least I was able to protect Tokah for once and not the other way round.

" Take the kid, at least he is still worth more than his bitch of a mother" I looked at him.

"You, mark my face, I'm coming for you. And you will pay for this, for all of it"

" Shut up, brat" that was the last word he said before he kicked my face and I fainted.

When I woke up, everything was dark, I couldn't see, it was hard for me to breathe, they use a black cloth to cover my face, those bastard. I could hear the man who killed my mom talking to someone, after I put my ear on something that felt like an iron wall, I could hear them more clearly.

"What about his sister, moroboshi?" The other man said. "Why didn't you bring her too?". Thank goodness, that mean, Tokah was able to get away.

"She escaped before we could get her"

"Then find her!!"

"She used a teleportation circle to escape, she could be anywhere"

" We have a lot of time left in our hands, so for the next five years, I don't want to know, I don't care how you find her, I want her safe by then. Do you understand that?!!"

"Yes sir"

" I can't believe you are still able to mess things up, go now find all of them and don't come back until then"

"Yes sir" the man who killed my mother replied before walking away. He killed my mom for money!!, Is that the worth of life to him. I already know his face and now his name, moroboshi I'm coming for you.

Few minutes later, the cloth was removed from my head. I was in back of a truck with some other kids, we were up to eighty, if I counted them right, all of us were tied up with ropes, the man came and cut the ropes. While this was going on, two boys tried to fight back and were killed at that spot, the other children screamed, some even cried. We were all led to a large hall, they were other children already, maybe there came from different places. This must be what mom was talking about, the lab. This is where people are use for experiments to create supernatural, no, experimentals. That why she never wanted us to leave the barrier, that was why she didn't want us to use our powers. Because not only normal people are used, even supernatural are studied and used to make others more powerful. To be honest, I didn't know how long I was there nor did I remember what happened there but during that time, but I'm sure there was no day that pass by that I didn't think about my sister. Even though I still remember making some friends, like Kenji, Mahito, Sasuke and the closest, Megumin. I don't remember anything, and honestly I don't want to remember, I lived without thinking of ever going out until one day, when we all called out to the hall.

"This is the day you'll all be set free!" An ugly looking man who should be in his late fifties shouted. He is the same person who has going on and on about us saving the world, that we are chosen, he was just trying to motivate children whose spirit are already broken, if he wanted to be a hero why didn't he do it to himself, instead of dragging along a bunch of kids who don't care. "Today, you'll be set free to make the world better with your new supernatural powers. The supernaturals, they placed themselves above us, rule over us because they think we are weak, NO. This is proven that we are strong, you are the proof. But since they are trying to stop us, trying to stop us from our right, we have no choice but to fight. But we have one problem, because they made our way of fighting back illegal...so we have limited resources, which can only work out for twenty people"

Kenji raised his hand up, waving it, signifying that he wants to ask a question, he stood up and ask "What do you mean by limited resources for just twenty people, what about the rest sixty?"

The old fool smiled boldly," I'm saying you should reduce your number, the last twenty people get to go to the world and live like citizen and will be taken care of by me as long as you obey my every order"

"Wait, you are..... you're .... not....sa.... saying....we sho....."

"Yes!!, yes!!!!, I want you to kill yourself, die till they are twenty of you left then maybe you'll be set free!!!" He was shouting while laughing.
