9:27AM

A sunny day in the village, I look upon it and admire it. After all the events last year, it was good to finally settle down and not having to move camp every week to get away from your assassins. I didn't have my normal orange hoodie, I was just in my pink shorts and white shirt. I decided to go inside and wear it before anyone saw me, I didn't like how I looked without my trusty orange hoodie.
There was a beaver tail at the bottom of it, which hit the back of my legs as I walked but I didn't mind it all to be completely honest.

I heard a knock at my door, I was surprised anyone would expect me to be up this early but I must have made a lot of ruckus when trying finding my hoodie.
“Come in!”
I call out to the person who was knocking, but I was still gazing out my window at the village below.

“Good morning, Blaza!”
A fimular voice greetes me from behind.

“Oh, hello Socks! Good morning to you too.”
A turned around to see my astronaut friend and warmly smiled at him.

“Why are you up so early? You know you don't have to be on watch, it's Tbh's turn today.”
Socks asked me, raising a brow.

“Eh, not sure why to be honest with you.”
I told Socks truthfully,
“The view is a great site as well, it's hard to believe after what we been through we would be given this village.”

“Yeah, I can remember me being trapped in a basement like it was yesterday-!”
Socks then cut himself off early and had a sad look on his eyes.
“...I just wish the person who rescued me was still…around…”

“Hey, he's still here in spirit!”
I said, trying to comfort Socks.
“He may not be here with us, but he would probably want you to focus on the community you have built. Remember, this is also his village!”

Socks warmly smiled at me, and he went back in our base. I walked in with him, seeing a tired Tbhhonest walk in the halls toward his room.

“Tell Oof it's his turn instead! I'm tired as fuck.”
I heard Tbh call out tiredly.

“Oof just had his turn yesterday!”
Socks argued with the tired crab man.

“Let Blaza do it then!”
Tbh argued back.

I looked at Socks with dread in my eyes, even though my shades blocked my eyes, I think Socks still knew what I was trying to express.

“You wanna? I can if you don't want to-”
Socks didn't get to finish his sentence.

“No, no- it's fine, really. I'll do it.”
I cut the astronaut off, sighing.
“TBH! YOU OWE ME AFTER THIS!”

“Fine!”
I heard Tbh reply to me, then hearing a thud.
“FUCK YOU, YOU JUST MADE ME FALL OF MY BED! I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING NOW!”

“I WILL FORCE YOU TO KEEP WATCH IF YOU DON'T KEEP YOUR WORD!”
I yelled back at Tbhhonest, angry.

“UGH, FINE!”
Tbh shouted back, annoyance in his tone.

“WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP? I'M TRYING TO ENJOY MY DAY OFF!”
Oof loudly asked, pissed off.

The base went very quiet after Oof's plead, Socks looked at me, he then burst out laughing and then I tried to tackle him.
He dodged me, and then ran through the halls. I chased him down the hallway, but I slipped as I didn't have my dark grey boots on and fell faced first. Everything hurt, I heard a gasp and felt a hand on my back.

“Blaza! Are you okay?”
Socks asked me, panic in his voice.

I laid there as I was unable to move my jaw from the pain, I weakly flipped over and tasted blood in my mouth. My eyes hurt, small but deep pains covering my whole face. I didn't open my eyes as they hurt so much, but I heard Socks call for Meme and everyone else. I didn't know what was going on, only the horrible pain I was going through at the moment.

“Blaza? Are you alright, can you hear me?”
A voice asked me.

“Yes, I can- OW FUCK”
I screamed as I felt a hand on my face, it's force shoving whatever was causing my face pain to go deeper into my pale skin.

“Meme, look at his face! There are tons of glass shards in his skin!”
Socks told Meme which made me terrified.

“THERE'S FUCKING GLASS IN MY FACE!?”
I asked, screaming in panic.

“Don't worry, it'll be okay!”
Socks tried to convince me.

I just started silently panicking, if there was glass shards in my face could have they went into my eyes? Could have they have permanently blinded me? Would I have tons of horrible scars on my face for the rest of my life!? I am already insecure about myself, I don't want this incident to make my insecurities worse.
I felt touching at my face and almost every part of my upper body, it hurt like hell.

“Shit, this isn't- this isn't what I expected! Just- uh…it'll take a while to heal! That's all.”
Meme was a horrible lair.

I could already see the scars and horrified faces as I walked in the village. I felt something move towards the back of my neck where I felt a small pinch, then I fell into another space of darkness where the outside world was blocked out from me.

POV CHANGE
4:45 AM

My legs tingled with excitement as I was secretly pouring gasoline onto the wooden house in the village of those damn so called “heros”. The FireFighter's story always seemed off to me, and I'm glad I got the real story from my boss, Laff. I closed the containers that held the gasoline, and then moves into the third house. Laff specifically ordered me to only do three houses, and not the entire village. It was rather annoying.

How do you get revenge without destroying everything your enemies loved?

That question always flooded my mind as I looked at my list of missions to do.
Do this, do that, but no assassinations! What type of story of taking revenge and stopping bad guys doesn't involve murder!? It was rather stupid in my opinion, I could easily plant explosives under The FireFighter's base and boom! They're all dead! It's easy and simple as that, but Laff is an old bum ‘bout that and never let's me do anything without instructions when it comes to his “homecoming” (a nicer way of saying that he gonna come back).

I finished pouring the last of the easily lit liquid onto the small wooden house and quickly —yet quietly— ran back to the underground lab I was living in now with Laff. I didn't check if anyone was around or watching me, which I totally forgot to do. I cursed to myself and hoped that no one saw me or otherwise Laff would probably take me out himself if he was exposed.

“I'm backkk!”
I announced as soon as I closed the trapdoor to the lab with my arms up in air.

“Nice to have you back, Ally.”
Laff said in a calm tone as he walked toward the trapdoor to see me just a little forward from the staircase that led to the actual lab.

I brought my arms back to my sides, I actually forgot to wear the black suit that Laff gave me to go outside. So, I was still wearing my crop-top with arm warmers along with my ripped and baggy shoes combined with white shoes that I had brought in my suitcase when I moved officially down into the lab.

“I see you didn't take the suit, that makes me think you'll forget everything else I'll order you to do. I might reconsider our alliance.”
Laff told me with that parent tone I used to always hear when I was living with my mother before running away into this village.

“I promise I won't forget anything else! I'll write down everything you'll tell m!”
I promised to Laff, desperately trying to fully gain Laff’s faith in me.

“Hm, alright then. I hope that I won't have to make a new alliance anytime soon. You make me proud, Ally.”
Laff told me as I was almost melting into a puddle of happiness and achievement.

HE WAS PROUD OF ME!?!?
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!!
I thought in my head loudly as I had a big smile on my face.

I always seen Laff as like a parent to me, plus, we had the same eye color of emerald colored eyes.
It was like we were truly related! Which is what I hoped honestly. My father left me at my birth, and it felt so nice to finally have a chance to build a bond with Laff that I never got to experience in my life. A father-and-daughter type of bond.
So, I always tried to make Laff proud of me. I was the one who took care of most of the chores, outside missions, and hunting. I've always provided Laff with the finest and juiciest meat I seemed out just for him, wanting to please him. It made sense to just give everything he wanted.

“I- I…AAAAAAA!!!!”
I screamed as I ran at Laff and tackled him with a tight hug as he almost fell over.

“Oh my- hold your horses! This is awfully— wonderfully —affectionate, but could you please cut out the high volume and strength? I know you've been hard at work with your fitness training, but I don't want to experience it again.”
Laff asked me, with confusion in his eyes.

“Oh- okay! Sorry about this, I just- I'm not sure.”
I blurted.
“I guess I see you as a father figure, I never met mine or seen my own. I hope we can go do fun stuff after we're done with this stuff.”

“I see as you were my own daughter, Ally. We may not be that old from each other— scratch that, you're 16— but I love you(IN A FATHER WAY).”
Laff paused as if he was thinking what to say next which was odd for him.
“I hope we can go to lakes and forests to explore and have fun, or something together you would like to do afterwards our revolution.”

I smiled and weakened my squeeze around Laff as he had asked, but I still had my arms around him. I felt his arm around my back and the other patting my head of dyed pink hair. He was really my father, with or without sharing blood; I loved him like he was my dad and he loved me like if I was really his daughter.

Today was one of the best days ever.
But that damn alarm clock that went off since it was 6AM now ruined the moment!

─────────ೋღ 🔥 ღೋ─────────

I hoped y'all enjoyed that! I'm honestly proud of myself for writing this long of a chapter in all honesty. I forgot that I had this book and all my other ones which is sort of the main reason why I haven't published sooner, my internet issue I still a thing, so.
Also, to be completely honest, when I did remember I have this, I just wasn't in the mood to write. My motivation has been rather low all month and the previous months. This year is just really shitty for me so far. I had to run away from home for a bit, which I never thought I had to do.
I'm okay now though, luckily..
Dw :>
