Chapter 4: Stories To Be Told
Egde POV
I felt like going first to speak of my story, so questions wouldn't be asked again. I got interrupted, though.
"I'll go first since I knew all of you guys before I came to highschool," she said. I stayed quiet as she agreed to the quietness. I sat in my chair very uncomfortable and waited until she started.
"Let's start," she said," A long time ago in New York. I was born on 1998, January 25." she said. "It didn't know if was a terrible day for me or others I cared for. My mother a smoker and drug user. My father a criminal and drug dealer paired with my mother became perfect criminals together. Then when they gave birth to me, not in a hospital, and that was the worst day. They didn't care until had a ton of health problems. I had to deal it with myself. I didn't learn my alphabets until I was 10. I had to learn it by myself. I tried my hardest to survive then they treated me like a slave," she said.
*Flashback* (Third Person)
"What are doing!?" Harper said has she threw a glass vase onto Peyton head.
"Um..! Cleaning the room, ma'am," Peyton said nervously. She was more worried about what happens next than the big cut on her head that was dripping down.
"Well get your butt out there and make us more drugs," Harper yelled as she threw a kick to her stomach to get out.
Peyton walk fast and went to the secret room where they made drugs and weed. She patch up her cut and started to roll up weed than an hour later she went to make the pills.
When she was done and grabbed the basket to show them. She went to the living room to show them that she made 1000 each. she stopped behind the wall to eavesdropped on them talking.
"Hahaha!," Harper laugh with enjoyment," This is the life, hon." Peyton knew that they were drunk and that was the only time she had advantage.
"We have we what need here to be happy," said Trevor, Peyton father.
"Money, drugs, guns, and a 14 year old doing our dirty work and she has to do whatever we say," said Harper. Peyton knew she mention her because of everything she said related to her. She was about to cry, but sucked it up and went to make more drugs. She sat down and made 4,000 more of each while thinking of all those years from 4 to 14 years old.
Surprisingly, in 3 hours she finish and started to carry the two basket full of them. She started to walk upstairs with the basket full of them.
When she started to get to get closer to the door, she started heard something she thought will never come. Sirens. She was about to cry as ran to the door. Suddenly, the door burst open as Harper, Trevor, and Peyton fell to the ground. She dropped both of her baskets full of drugs.
"Peyton! What are you doing down here!?" yelled Trevor as he slapped her. She fell to the floor. Harper close the door and ran to her.
"Your suppose to be bait to get the cops off of us! " said Harper as she threw her across the room. Starting to cry, Peyton thought this will never end.
A pounding on the door came.
" Open up!" shouted a man. Peyton felt a warm in her heart.
"Now or on the count of three!" he shouted,"1....2..3!" they broke the door off its hinges and ran through. Trevor grabbed Peyton and pointed the gun at her head. The police backed off.
"One more step, and her head is off," Trevor said with a smile. Trevor and Harper slowly walked around and on their way to the door. Peyton wanted this to end this. She push up his arm then everything went into slower.
Is this how I die or a change my world? I am almost about to change my life. Will I be free? He could shoot, but at least I know is that this time I tried. As everything went faster, I turn to him and took the bullet that went in my left arm, before it hit the soldier. They walked in front of me, and block.
*End of Flashback* (Still Edge POV)
"Once that happen, I was then taken to the hospital. I met so many kind people. My parents were taken to custody for life. I was an orphan afterwards and until I turn 18. I was then at the end of high school. I had brains they said, so I was able to change life and see what I can do to change," she said. Some them were surprise and some cried. Even though it didn't look like it, I heart broken. I was raised by gods and goddess, so I now know how it feels. I grew up in somewhere I wanted to be. I felt so bad. "But hey, at least I am here," she said as everyone drew away their tears. She step on the side for me to where she stood. " Your turn," she said.
I got up and stood in her spot. I waited for her to seat and waited more to watch them stare at me. Never have ever thought that history was looking right at me. I sighed and started
"190 years ago," I started," I was the goddess of knowledge. I work to make sure that people that had their minds into doing something they don't regret to finish it. I work day and night helping kids mainly all around the world. Many became intelligent and had a good future and. Well, it was incredible."
*Flashback* (Third Person)
Dara, Edge, work day and night to help every hard worker that lived. Beside the main gods, she was one of the most busiest god working.
One day, she was working on her workers and help them make their future even better. When War came in.
"Yo Edge," War said," What'cha doing?" She lent on the door side and tilted her head.
"Oh, Hi War," Dara said a tired, yet happy tone.
"Still working as always," War said. Edge nodded slowly. " Well, when you are finish, would you care to visit me at my home," War asked.
"Sure. I'll meet you there, once I finish this last person," Edge said with more confident. War nodded and shrugged. She started to walked back to her home, all the way at the bottom of the hill
Edge then stopped at the person she was working on and laid back in her chair. Remembering what has happened. Other gods and goddess are more worried and none with tell her and the kids the truth either. She was also given many gifts from the gods, that she thought shouldn't earn, but is the greatest honor. After that, she was the new leader of generation because of her not only being the oldest but the most trust worthy. She felt excited to see what she could do in the future. She was bothered, tho, by the fact that the gods and goddess are acting, so weird. She remember that she was suppose to be given her promotion 200 hundred years from now. She shrugged, but felt that it wasn't a fully wise decision.
Sheshrugged, again, and continued and her last person. As soon she finish her last worker, then a boomed shook the island. She fell onto the floor, but never thought what that was,. She look through the glass to see a hole through the Golden Gates that kept anyone, but gods, out. She started to see people running and a wave of darkness came. She ran to horse and rode her all the way down, knowing War and her mother are still down there. On her way there, she saw a horse and someone sitting on it.
It was War trying to get her mother on the horse. She struggled while her mother refuse. The horse, War was on, got scared of the wave and kicked her off as she fell. Then was on her knees, praying for her mother to leave.
Edgethen made it there and told them to hop on. War did, but then her mother told the horse to leave. Edge couldn't control it. War's mom was the goddess of nature. The horse kept riding and soon Edge realize I didn't need to hold onto the leash. I turn around to see War's mom covering the grave that held the War's Father. The father of War passed down his power to save his wife and child.
"Mom!" War yelled, trying to jump of the fast horse. I soon grabbed her from falling.
"War! What happen?!" I asked which stopped her tears for a second.
"The gods never told us. They saw it coming, but couldn't stop it, so she gave me her power. She told me to protect it, but I don't even know how to work it," her tears grew like a flood," She told me she would stay back to protect dad and save me."
"Hey, hey it is ok," I said as I hugged her and slowly move my hand around her back to calm her down. "She'll do anything to save you and that shows how much she loves you." She rubbed her tears away and she smiled.
The floor rumbled as they both turned around to see the wave getting closer. Edge pulled out her magic and War pull out her weapon, a axe. The horse was going a fast as it could go, so decided to hold them off until they get to the barrier holding the surviving gods.
"War if we don't survive, I want to say something," Edge said.
"Me, too," said War.
"You are my best friend and whatever happens I will protect you," they both said very fast. They stared a each other and started to laugh.
"This is not the best time, but who cares now," Edge said as they both smirk at the wave of darkness. They look closer to see they were three headed dogs. They had no thought of why just when will they attack.
They were almost there as gods from the top open the barrier for them. They fought back and killed 50 at the least, but at the top they knew billions weren't the right number. Once they got ahead and went through the barrier, the fell off the horse as it collapse to the floor. Everyone surround them.
"War, you alright," said Edge between puffs and trying to catch air.
"Yeah, what about you," War said huffing.
"If I wasn't alright I wouldn't be asking you doof," Edge said laughing as War join.
"Everyone look!" yell a god. He pointed at the dogs covering the barrier. Then came in Edge parents covering in blood. It was bad to Edge and War. They ran there to help.
"Edge, is that you?" said Egde's mother.
"Yes mother stay with me," ignoring all the questions Edge had in her mind.
"I know you found out that we knew about this, but-" she paused for air," We couldn't stop it even if we prepare, so listen to me. We prepare for our new generation and send you kids to earth."
"What!?" Edge said as she looked at the terrified kids. Edge and War were the only ones that were oldest out of the kids, so she thought of what would happen next.
"I know. But please, listen to my directions," Her mother. Edge broke in tears and wanted to do her prayers, but refuse.
"I will send everyone to earth, but I am staying here to help," Edge said as she stood up. He mother looked down.
"As you wish," Egde's mother said with a sigh. Edge was thankful, but suspicious of how well that went.
Before they could speak again the barrier cracked.
"Hurry, we don't have that much time," said Edge's dad. He went to each kid and took half their power. Their parents then laid them in the pods. Edge and War helped everyone and send them to earth. Many cried as it made thunderstorms and rainstorms on earth.
Edge and War were the last ones, and saw the last two pods.
"Wait why are there-" Edge said, but cut off. She and War struggle and tried to move. Edge new this power was from..... mom?
"I'm so sorry," she said has she layed both War and Edge in their pods. She kept them still as everyone gathered around them.
"Egde," her mother said," You are our last hope, look for our new generation and give their powers back to restore the world."
"No.. No. NO! NO!," Edge screamed at the stop of her lungs, struggling her hardest. Edge's father took a little power from War.
"Egde!," War started to struggle. Everyone around them felt bad, but had no other choice. "Edge I'll see you down on earth," said War. Edge's father then put War to sleep with her last tear from her eyes. It was then sent down to earth.
"WAR !" Edge screamed. More tears flowed through. She was given her powers from every got that lived. She get the powers from the remaining, once they die. She knew that and struggle from her father touch. The powers she was given was too much for her to handle. She fell to sleep as she was sent to earth. The barrier broke more as everyone prepared to fight.
*End of Flash back* (Edge POV)
"I then fell to earth. When I woke up I stayed in that same spot for 5 years, until I felt it," I said with tears. Everyone started to worry. "Its fine," I said.
"What did you feel?" asked one of them. I heard a small smack as well as an "ow". I turn my head wiped my tears.
"Their power flowing inside," I said," They gave their connection to me, so when they die their powers go to me."
Everyone felt touch and didn't know what to say. It is just like a another level of shock that flows through their mines. They stood like thinking of a special place to put that story in their mine.
"I don't know what to say," said Zayden.
"You guys have been through so much," said Dylan. I felt bad, but flattered in way I couldn't describe it.
"Hey," I said," I thank you guys for hearing my story and that you wouldn't think me as a stranger would you?" I asked. They all agreed to me. I was so happy.
They then started to asked me more questions. I answered them all and Peyton, too. Then when they all left me and Peyton talked for a while, knowing now hat we are similar to each other.
"I didn't think we'll have so much in common," Peyton said.
"Yeah....,"I paused," Will you help me learn about the world to help me find my generation," I said.
"Sure. Hey!," she shouted," I have an idea."She smiled at me and showed to another moving colors rectangle, but used different controls. It had so much buttons.
