Saki's POV

I finished moving all my stuff outside, briefing Metanoia on what she'll be needing to do if we get caught. Now I sit outside on a log staring at the sky feeling sick to my stomach.

Maybe I shouldn't have done this? I put us three in danger when I decided to retrieve the android. For what? To foil my dad's useless plans just because I hated him. Ugh. I don't know.

Metanoia stood by me, her long feathery white hair brushing my skin while she gazed at the house which was still burning down. John and Lobelia should really hurry up or they might get devoured by the flames, heh.

I should tell those two.

Despite knowing them for so long now, I never told them what my relationship to Hugo was. How I knew so much about his plans. I hate being the daughter of a cruel, crazy man. I just wanted to let go of the past and enjoy the company I have now.

Crazy, crazy that man was. Not only towards the people he kept to suffer like caged dogs in that building, but he turned me into a cyborg against my will, never listened to what I had to say. I cried countless and countless of times a day.

I hate him.

"Sakiiii! We're done packing our stuff!" Lobelia trudges out of the house dragging her stuff, John behind her. She continues towards me with a tired and somewhat annoyed smile on her face? I mean there's never a time she doesn't have a not annoyed look on her face.

And John always looks dead both on the inside and outside, Jeezus. I can recall the wounds he had when we first met, I tried paying little mind to it back then, but I wanted to cry for him. I wanted to go all the way back to building and slap both my dad and the guard that hurt him. Heartless fuckers.

"Saki? Earth to Saki? Bitch we going to waste time standing here?" Lobelia's face was a couple inches away from mine, looking at me with her brow raised.

"Oh uh, sorry I was just spacing out." I back away, a little flustered. "No need for you to get so close."

"Bruuh... You got a problem with me getting near you?" She smirks.

"No, Let's just go alright?" I turn away from her and set my mind to focus on what's important. Do not get distracted by Lobelia self, do not get distracted by Lobelia.

I pick up my stuff then take the lead. It's the beginning of another journey. I damn hope we survive.

We won't fall to his clutches. We won't let him control us ever again.

I turn my head and glance up at the sky for a brief moment, slightly paranoid that they might be here already.

They aren't, but they will be soon. This is no where near my dad's torture building, but flight can get you to places quickly.

"Do you have anywhere planned or we're just going wherever our feet takes us?" John asks me barely five minutes into our travel.

"The latter." I simply answer.

We spend the next hour or so walking in silence. I wondered if they were getting tired, or sore. I wondered if Metanoia would be able to fight without any prior training.

Now would also be a good time to tell them...

"Hey guys?" I stop in my tracks and turn around to look at them with a serious expression. My heart began to race quite a bit, I instantly felt my palms getting sweaty.

Will they be upset that I'm his child? Will they feel hurt that I never told them earlier?

"What is it?" Lobelia asks.

"Hugo is... My dad."
