Chapter 15 - My Little Lily

Quinn was writing a report, with Mr.Luther staring at him. Quinn put his holograms note down on the side and lift his head towards the teacher.

"What Luther?" Quinn sighed, Luther squeezed his wrist.

Luther cleared his throat. "You haven't talked to her since last night." He was blurted.

Quinn put his hand under his chin. "Cause there's nothing to talk about." He announced to him. 

Luther put his hands on the HeadMaster's desk. "She killed people!" He retorted.

Quinn stood up his chair fell on the ground. "I gave her two options." He voiced to him. Luther lower his head down and calm himself.

"Sir I know it not my place but-"

"Your right is not your place all you have to do is teach the students." Quinn picked up his chair and sat back down. Luther nodded and placed his hand on the door knob. "At least talk to her." He walked out the door. 

We moved on to some of the students who were relaxing in the breakroom. "Have anyone talk to Susannah I haven't seen her since yesterday." Seraphine asked. Esper closes her book and looks up from the couch.

"No, now that I think about it." 

Clover added. "I haven't since we tried to tell her the truth."

Esper scoffed. "Now that I think about it Clover, you never meddle into someone life unless your Father ask you too." She was blurted with her response that made Clover turn his head away.

"Yes it's true nothing gets past you." He chuckled. Seraphine got close to him. "Why Clover?"

Esper open her book back up. "Uncle Eros always had it out for the HeadMaster but this is something else." Sirius walk in the breakroom.

"What are you guys talking about here?" Sirius smiled, with Jasper putting his forearm on Sirius's shoulder. Esper was curious she never saw these two together.

"Susannah." She answered.

"Oh, she is with Valencia in the DeathMoon Cafe along with Larson." Jasper sighed.

DeathMoon Cafe*

Susannah was washing dishes, Grey was counting gems. Valencia and Larson was frosting cupcakes.

"The key to a good looking cupcake is they are like flowers, put some love and care into them." Larson made the cupcakes look like a flower.

"Whoa." Valencia clapped.

"I wish I could hire you too Larson." Grey smiled. "That brings me joy, Mr.Grey." Larson said.

Grey tapped Susannah's shoulders, she still has the dish plate from five minutes ago. "Earth to Susannah." Grey snapped his fingers. 

"I'm up!" Susannah flinched. Grey grabbed the plate she had. "That plate is so clean I can see my wrinkles." He chuckled.

"Sorry, something on my mind." She chuckled. Grey sighed. "That mission."

"What mission?" Valencia tilt her head. "We stop a sweatshop from selling drugs." She answered her.

"By setting it on fire no less." Grey shook his head. Susannah felt a shame as her grab her forearm.

"I hope no one was hurt, I mean they were doing something wrong but they also had a job." Larson sighed, Susannah hugged herself and was tearing off her lip skin.

"Ann?" Valencia got close to her.

"I need air!" Susannah ran out the door. Valencia tried to run after her but Grey stopped her.

"Mr.Grey?" Valencia turn to him. Grey shook his head.

"Give her some time." Grey pleaded with her. Outside the cafe, Susannah was running down the streets as she ran out of breath.

"Are you okay?" A voice was behind her, she slowly turned her head to them. "Yeah!" Her face was covered in snorts and tears.

"Excuse me." A young man pulls out his handkerchief as he place it over her runny nose.

"Sorry I will get you a new one, Sir." Susannah blow her nose. He shook his head. "No problem I always wanted a cute girl cover in snort." He chuckled, she cover her laugh.

"You think I'm cute?" She smiled, he pointed at a convenience store as they stepped inside.

"Thanks again and sorry about the handkerchief." Susannah sighed.

He placed his hand on his cheek. "Why were you crying?"

"I can't do anything right cause if I do choose the right path I end up hurting someone else." She squeezed her hands together.

"I see." He agreed. 

"Sorry I am putting a lot on you." She smiled.

"No keep going." He had all the time.

Susannah nodded. "I only get two options in life."

"Well what about a third option?" He suggested. Her eyes light up. "What?"

"You can have other options." He smiled.

"Wow that's amazing." Susannah stood up. "Glad to help." He smiled.

"Sorry I'm Susannah Talons." She held her hand out.

He shook it. "Usher, Usher Prime."

Back to the cafe, Quinn was pacing around with Grey crossing his arm.

"Grey where is she?" Quinn barked, Grey scoffed. "She's out."

"Come on old man!" Quinn yelled. She walks inside. "I'm back!"

"Lily I want to talk about-" Quinn was cut off guard when she hugged him. Susannah look up at him.

"Thanks Dad I know what my options are." Susannah ran to the back, The two men look at her in shock.

"That was a 180." Grey places his hands on his hips. Susannah ran to her room, the walls were covered in lily petals with a bookshelf full of books she like and her bed was lower to the ground as pull out her holophone as she stare at her ceiling that was cover in roses.

Cole just finished his shower. As his raise his towel showing off the top chest scar. Still wet from the shower he tried to dry them, his holophone went off. "This is Cole speaking."

"Cole it me I want to make some upgrades of my own." She smiled. Cole whistled in amusement.

Next Day*

The students were eating breakfast as Susannah came in cheerful. "Alright Students it's time for Ms.Donovan class." She smiled. Valencia walks over to her. "You alright Ann?" 

Susannah look at her and placed a smile on her face, "Much better." Everything was going normal but tonight was different. Susannah walked into a messily room that was covered in take out food and lollipop wrappers. "Hey Ms.Phoenix is my Father going out tonight?"

Ms.Phoenix turned her dark circle eyes toward her. "Another drug bust in the Underworld somewhere in Eyebright side." She grinned and turned to the door.

"Thanks Ms.Phoenix." She left, but the hacker did not pay it no mind after all that not what she paid for. "Probably gonna say goodnight."

The Underworld were Quinn,Luther, and Orchid walked to the shop. "She hugs you?" Luther was in shock. Quinn nodded.

"That weird." Orchid had his hands in his pockets as he looked around.

"Yeah but I guess it's alright." Quinn pull out his gun. As the three arrived it was silent. Orchid pulls out his sickle, "Something not right."

A person was running toward them. "Get away this building is bomb!"

"Who told you?!" Luther yelled.

"I don't know, they were masked-" The person was shot in the head by Quinn, they kept walking more close to see a person in a mask and cloak standing toward them. Luther stepped in front of Quinn.

"Who are you and what family are you under?" Quinn asked, The mask person walked away, Orchid ran toward them. The mask person jumped in the air and landed on the building.

"Whoa." Luther was amazed. Quinn put his hands in fists and walk back to the car.

"Blow up the drugs we are going home." Quinn whispered.

"Sir." Orchid walks away with Luther right behind Quinn.

Next Moring*

"Turnout the mask one has a title." Luther put down a sticker.

"Peace Lily." Quinn sighed. Outside the school, Susannah was at the mall with Clover and Valencia that was close to the Cafe.

Valencia look around. "It has been forever since I went shopping."

Clover agreed. "Yeah and no sibling attached to me it so peaceful." He sighed in relief.

Susannah smiled. "But make sure to stay attached to me you two." On the higher floor of the mall. Runa was in a restaurant eating a bloody steak. With Usher watching them from below.

"She is in the mall, Ma'am." Usher hinted, as she wiped her mouth.

"Good and make sure she falls for you." Runa smiled.

"Yes Ma'am." Usher put his thumb up.
