Hope Like an Angel

What...?

My head hurts.. dizzy.. My body is very limp and painful... I... fainting...?

Slowly, I opened my eyes. The full black view was changed to...

"Are you awake?" Someone said from behind, I was lying on the sofa. This is my old sofa.

Wait a minute, the wall.the dining table behind me, the arrangement and the color. I was in my old house?!

Cyuts...

"Ack..." My head hurts again, I hold it by hand.

"I'm sorry for hitting. Your fighting ability is terrifying." He continued, starting to approach me. Carrying a small teapot and glass, put it on the front desk of the sofa.

He started pouring the water into the glass, I could see his face.

...

"How are you, princess?" That's Dad... The father who took me away, the father who was killed by monsters! The father whose screams beat the lightning! Daddy's! He's in front of me! What... am I dead?!

The glass was full, he offered it to me.

"Here, drink it." Dad chimed in, I received a glass with both hands. Look at him for a moment, then see Dad's face again. What does this mean...?

"Your school's good? What about friends? Oh, you must have a lot. Haha." He chuckled, his laughing face returning. The lost memories begin to remember.

I'm mute, totally mute. One, why am I here, did you take me? Two, where's my light sword? Three, and most importantly, how did you go so fast?

Don't-don't you, Daddy became an omni?

...

The sunlight passes through the windows of the house, making the weather rather hot.

"Your hair, Fal. Never been cut, right?"

...

"Your physique is also stronger huh, hahaha. I'm proud of you."

...

"Wait, this year. You must be sixteen, right? Wow, that's fast!"

...

Silence, I can't speak. Dad's body is covered in black clothes.

I exhaled, putting the glass back on the table.

"Alright, I'm sure you want answers from me." He stood up, trying to explain something.

"Listen carefully." I poured water into a new glass.

"Everything you hear, everything your troops say is not all true. We, Dad are included. He was the victim of the experiments of a mad scientist. None of us are evil.

"Falisha, you better not trust them too much. It could be, whatever they teach you, will strike you back." Dad brought his hands closer, allowed my long hair.

"A. A..."

"Yes? Any questions, Fal?" He's avenging me.

"What... how....how do you live...? I heard that voice, the sound of flesh being cut off. That's not your voice?" I tried to control myself, asking as much as I could.

Silent, Dad looked at me sharply.

"No. I survived, Fal." He answered straight, walked over, and then he sat down beside me.

"That day, when I wanted to take your math prize. My sister, Logan, came and called out to me. He said there was a medium-sized monster coming into the house. So I turned off the power so he couldn't see.

"Unfortunately, the monster saw your mother first and killed her. Logan came to save her, but too late, the monster that killed your mother had already left first, so Logan chased her outside. I took you away, when we heard the sound of footsteps, I thought it was the monster. So I told you to go so you'd be safe. It turns out it was my sister. He came by slashing the monster that killed your mother. So the sound of the flesh being cut off didn't come from me." He explained it slowly, trying to get me to understand everything he explained.

Wait... medium sized monsters? Then... That Fedora-Hats Monster?

"Logan is the guy who wears that fedora hat, Fal. He's not a bad guy, he's got his own favorite fedora hat, likes it from childhood." Dad chuckled, drinking his glass.

So then... Logan is the late Fedora Hat Monster who saved Mom? He killed that medium monster? He wasn't a bad guy all this time...?

...

I still have a lot of questions...

BOOM!

"That's it! Commander Leonardo! Great General Karlo!" Excited one of the people, he pointed at me.

"Fal, remember my words. Not everything you can trust." ZEP! ZEP! ZEP! BOOM! Dad was moving quickly about to leave, the Big General's power shot missed, Dad managed to escape.

Silent for a moment, leaving me alone in the house. And all the troops are staring at me.

"FAEL!" Raphael ran in, past the entourage, even the Great General. His face was very worried.

"God! Fuckin' fal! You, you're okay, right? Don't you?!" He held my shoulder tight, shaking it

"Thank God, thank God you're not dead. God, it's been four hours everyone's been looking for you, when we all woke up in the stadium, I was panicking, really panicking. Until Karlo came to help, his affairs in the Northern Region were done. All our houses go in, destroy, and inspect. Everyone, get to this house. We finally found you..." Raphael wiped away the tears, he was very worried about me huh...

I held her shoulder back, hugged her, smiling confidently. "Thank you, Raphael. I'm fine.Thank you very much."

Leo came closer, hugging me very tightly.

"Stupid. I'm so stupid." He said, his embrace was shaking, he was so scared.

I'll hug Leo's body, won't let go.

"Leo..thank God..." I'm relieved, he's fine.

Slowly, hard footsteps came to us. The great general saw me, his face firm but worried. He nodded briefly. "Falisha."

I nodded back, "Great General Karlo."

For a moment I saw a relieved Yuda, smiling manly, waving his hand. I returned with my thumbs up, still hugging Leo.

...***...

I don't understand, really.

What do you mean, Dad? The Peace Guard troops are unbelievable? How can he be an omni?

Now we're all gathered in front of my old house, some exhausted, checking his body. Some people look at me worried, what else are my friends. Leo panicked the most, he did not want to leave me for eleven minutes, even though he was finally summoned by the Great General. Asked to discuss something.

"You really okay, Fal?" Yuda asked, standing behind me who was sitting.

"Yes.it was a little dizzy. But it's healed now."

"Seriously? That Quick Omni just hit your head?" Raphael made sure, he was sitting next to me. Breathing snorted.

I'm nodding.

But... Shall I tell them that omni is my father?

...

I was reminded.

"What about Jennifer?" I'm worried, I hope he's okay...

"Leo says the base is taking care of him, so far it's safe." Yuda.

I rubbed my chest, thank goodness...

"What about the Massacre Day? Is... was it all a success? That work?" I'm proceeding.

"On that matter, in the Western and Northern Regions it is certain that all the monster nests are up." Raphael wiped the sweat on his forehead.

I see, yes...

But Dad-But

"Alright, the Day of Massacre here is over. Wait for the tronton that will pick you up to headquarters. There you'll get full treatment." Leo ruled, all the troops began to sit down, some of them smiling cheerfully. Relieved and happy.

"Falisha." The Great General called out, standing in front of me. I quickly stood up. My head is dizzy again.

"Just calm down, there's no need to rush that." Short reply.

"If you're ready, we can meet at my base. I want to talk about something." He said firmly, after a few seconds, I slowly nodded.

Wah.... four eyes with the Great General? It looks like it's gonna be scary...

In a short time, we all returned to the base. It's true that Miss Liona is gone, but there are some special doctors who are ready to take care of the troops all the time, and about that I just found out lately, my goodness...

...

My father is omni. Dad's alive. My father, was the custodian of the stadium's nest...

Now.... whom should I side with...? A monster? or Human...?
