Never before has Alex felt like crushing soone else head as he was feeling right now.
Incursio could feel the tension in the air, but this didn't stop her from cracking a joke.
''You don't have to be that angry; you will age if this keeps up.''
Well, now than never, she felt like she could joke. She had almost lost her life and was put into a deep slumber from which she wasn't sure she ever wake up. So, naturally, after waking up, she was excited.
''Can I punch her?" Sera asked while glaring at Incursio. Alex shrugged his shoulders in response.
''You can, but I'm not sure if you will still have your head after that,'' Incursio responded, but to Sera, her smile was that of a demon. She felt a chill on her back and had goosebumps all over her body when that Incursio looked at her with those white eyes. Unconsciously, Sera clenched her fists, and her knuckles turned white from how tight her fists were clenched.
The invisible pressure coming from Incursio was not a joke; it was now Sera understood how dangerous this girl before her was. She was not soone her current self could win against.
Fortunately, Alex intervened before things could escalate.
''Incursio, stop playing around. Now that you wake up, it's ti to start speaking.'' Alex didn't want to waste ti, he expected Incursio to start spilling everything she knew, but the girl stopped him and said sothing completely out of his expectation.
''I would like to talk, but an empty stomach can talk. So, will it be too much to ask for food?"
Alex was left speechless while Sera chuckled, thinking Incursio might be dangerous, but she was still human.
''Sure. Let's go.'' Alex said and left to order the maids to prepare a lavish feast for Incursio while she would take a bath and change into one of Gracier's spare clothes. Among those living in the villa, only the size of Gracier was close to that of Incursio.
''Tch! How annoying.'' Incursio, who was getting dressed up, complained but still let Sera help her.
Despite Incursio's bad mood, Sera didn't complain; she focused on doing her job. The reason why she volunteered to be the one doing this was because they feared Incursio going into a rage and killing a maid.
However, by helping Incursio, Sera learned an unexpected truth. Except for killing and doing missions, this little girl knew nothing else, not even how to properly take care of herself; for her, all these things would be a waste of ti.
''You see, we were born inside a test tube, and we were born with a purpose from birth to serve the organization.
I still rember this much.'' Sera smacked her lips because of what she had just heard, but instead of speaking, she just stayed silent as she knew in this situation what Incursio needed the most wasn't soone to talk back as she spoke but a good listener, soone who would listen without saying a word.
''Do you know how shocked we were when we learned that we were born different from others, without parents? Every child has the right to have a parent that loves him and protects him, but we have been deprived of that right. To them, we were just a successful experint to fulfill pre-established goals; we do not need emotions, and tools don't need affection. This was their first mistake.''
Sera shuddered as she could feel sothing ominous coming from Incursio, and she knew the identity of this feeling; it was rage, a pure and overwhelming rage.
''Do you know what one's feels by constantly having a voice in your head telling you what to do? Where to go? Who to kill?'' Incursio bombarded Sera with a series of questions, and she couldn't offer a reply.
''I guess you can't.'' Incursio chuckled before continuing.
''I kill for the first ti imdiately after breaking my cocoon (test tube). I was forced to kill other test subjects, my brother, sharing the sa DNA as , also did the sa thing. Those scientists were happy that we carried our first order without hesitation; they thought they had created the perfect tool. This was their second mistake.
As soone who kills, you know better than that life is sacred.''
To Incursio's words, Sera nodded.
''By killing another living being, especially sothing from the sa species as you, you will never be the sa again. It was what happened. After our first kill, sothing within us broke apart. From that mont onward, the tools that shouldn't have emotion had a desire born within them. And when you started to have a desire, it ant you have emotion.
For at that ti, it was destruction; I wished for destruction; it's different from what they wanted; my wish was to destroy everything, not for their sake, but my enjoynt, just for myself; it was what made different what opened my eyes and changed my fate from that of tool that existed for the sole purpose of its creator to a tool that lives only for herself.
I don't know about my brother's first desire, but whatever it was, it changed him, changed us.''
Sera was left speechless by this; their creators would have never expected that what they did at that ti would change those two.
''We were smart, well we were created that way. We were different from others, not because we were successful products but because of what I told you earlier. We knew we better not show them that we were too different from their expectation. Slowly but surely, each one of us continued to evolve, doing what they asked us to do but with hidden agenda.
I wanted to escape from that place and destroy them, while for Zero, it was to destroy everything, be it our creator or their leaders, the world, the universe, everything. It could be said that he was the true embodint of Chaos. I told you my story because I want you and him to know that since the beginning, I have never been on their side.
You want to use , and I want to use you to achieve my goal. Let's go. I'm hungry.''
