The moment Lexie heard Isiah's name she felt suddenly like a wave of heat burned her body, her stomach twitched, her heart pounded fastly, sweat started to cover all of her face and she bit her tongue unintentionally out anger, hate, disappointment and resentment.
She hated the guy her whole life, she hated his face, the way he acted, and his existence in general was a nuisance to her .
The day he died, she was there, she witnessed how stubborn he was, how arrogant and stupid he acted, she knew from the beginning that he was going to end up dead or harmed and that was exactly what happened.
When Ciel told her about Isiah she just stood immediately and went without a single word, which made him very scared.
Ciel on the other hand thought that she was going to tell their leader , and that is why he had to go away on his own.
He entered the forest that was at that moment empty, because no one dared to go there out of fear of the fire that might have started again. It was a perfect hiding place and he didn't mind staying there rather than being killed or interrogated by people from district1.
Lexie on the other hand just walked back to her house automatically, she found herself hurrying to get there, she didn't pay attention to anything closer to her or around her, all she kept on thinking about was Isiah Duncan.
When she finally reached her house door that was burned completely to the ground, she stood there motionless while looking at the door handle as if she was frozen.
" What have I done? The kid must have been terrified of my reaction but all i could do was go away from that place"
She said talking to herself outside, as if she was talking to someone else and explaining to him her feelings.
She sat closer to the door, her clothes were already dirty so she didn't mind doing that .
She looked at Emperium with eyes filled with anger then said:" That fuc***ing bastard was always looking at Emperium as if he was going to be there at any moment, he loved looking at that place so much, even when he knew that he never had the chance to go there"
She rested her arms next to her, then bowed her head to look at the forest that was burned to the ground.
Isiah Duncan was a mystery that she could never solve, he challenged her mind for a long time before she realized that he had to get out of her life so that she wouldn't even think about him.
She knew him since she was little because he used to live next to her with his parents.
In order to calm down her heart, she raised one hand and placed it in its place. Hearing his name made her feel uncomfortable, as if he was causing something to her body that she didn't recognize.
She closed her eyes and then rested her whole body on the dirty ground, she never cared about her looks and she was not going to start now when she was already covered with dirt .
A memory from the past appeared in front of her as she was still touching her heart, she was 8 years old playing with kids her age in front of her house when she saw Isiah walking next to his father with his head down, he didn't raise his eyes even a bit to check the path in front of him.
It was not the first time she saw him, she saw him all the time looking like that, and as a kid she was too curious so she left all the kids she was playing with and ran towards him and stopped him from moving by grabbing his hand.
Lexie was so curious about him, so she said with excitement:" I see you all the time going with your father, we should play, we are having so much fun here"
At the time she was clueless about the whole history, but her friends knew so much, they all split immediately because when she turned around to point at them she didn't find anyone one of them, she was still holding his hand between her hands so she said:" We should play together..you and me "
He didn't even look at her, he just pushed her hands away from him with a cold atmosphere all around him and continued to walk.
His father slapped his face at the time because of the delay, and she never approached him again .
Lexie knew who he was later when she told her mother and she was scolded because she tried to get closer to him.
Her mind was only thinking about him year after another, she saw him every day yet all she could do was look at him from afar .
She was older than him, so when she got the opportunity to level up she thought that she could at least live so far away from him, but when she failed she felt traumatized but she tried to hide it whenever she saw him.
Lexie opened her eyes again and looked at Emperium again while she was still laying on the ground, the last time she saw him was when he was about to die, and even then she left early because looking at his face reminded her of the first day she communicated with him and that caused her so much pain.
Her rebellious actions did not start because of her father's death, she started to act that way because of him, since obeying their stupid orders got her in that position.
"They killed the enemy, sister, they killed the enemy" One of her sisters came running toward her to tell her about the victory that Chris their leader was celebrating, but she didn't care because all she knew at the time was that killing people from district 2 was going to bring all horrors to district 1, at least that's what Arino was talking about all these past days.
" Killing people from other districts is not something worth celebrating," She said in a low voice trying to make her sister hear what she was saying .
Her sister started wandering around the house while she closed her eyes and said:" Isiah Duncan, if you are really alive, i want to do what i want this time…"
