The Ghost

12. What happens if I kill her?

The day came for Domino to fly back to the school, she was extremely nervous trying to figure out how to approach Galaxy during her class. She knew she couldn't say that she was her mother, but she also wanted some kind of relationship with her. Eventually she decided to try and form a mentorship with her so that she can get to know her better without letting her know who she is to her.

Once she had placed the plane down on the tarmac and had shut the plane down fully, she walked to the group awaiting her arrival, noticing the missing person she asked where the director was, but only received suspicious glances between the group before they ignored her.

Eventually they led her to her room and she relaxed a bit before she got up to teach the graduating class. She was nervous to see her daughter, but hid it behind the blank stare taught to all who study at the school.

When she walks into the training room she finds herself searching for her daughter, but she doesn't recognize her. Once she is situated she announces, "my name is the Banshee. Many of you have probably heard about how I killed a teacher when I was 13." Some of the students gasp and start mumbling to each other, but the Ghost merely raises an eyebrow at her mother.

The Ghost recognizes her mother from the many updates she got on her family over the years, but refuses to let it show on her face. She was slightly surprised her mother was the Banshee, but she was more angry that she knew what happened within these walls and didn't do anything to keep her and her sister safe from them.

Other students glance back at her knowing she is the only other one to have killed teachers before. The Banshee notices their glances at a girl towards the back, "why are you all looking at her?"

One of the students near the front replies with, "Well she managed to kill 3 teachers when she was 13, that's the Ghost..." they end up fading off seeing the look of annoyance pass on the Banshee's face.

"So you're the infamous Ghost, I'm curious. Let's see your skills in action." Domino gestures to the mat.

The Ghost merely looks at her disinterestedly, the sighs walking to the mat as if it was the most boring thing on earth.

The Banshee glances around the room muttering, "now who else?" When her eyes land on another girl she points to her, "you! What is your name?"

"My name is Lioness," she smirks. Three girls in the background glance at each other before laughing like they already know the outcome of the fight.

The Banshee glares back at them before signaling Lioness to get on the mat as well. As Banshee goes to start the match, Ghost interrupts her, "What happens if I kill her?"

The Banshee looks shocked at her bluntness, but hides it quickly. She weighs the answers to the question before she replies, "I won't penalize you for it, but there will be no extra credit. Also if at all possible avoid it, the school needs as many of its students to graduate as possible."

The grin on the Ghost's face is almost frightening for Banshee, but she starts the match anyway. Lioness decides to taunt her a little to try and make her lose control. "You honestly believe that you can kill me? You couldn't when we were kids, so what's changed huh?"

At the mention of their fights as kids the Ghost's eyes darken in hate, "I found out that each of your "friends" never even made it home to say goodbye to their parents before they were killed. That makes you worse than the scum I thought you were as kids."

The look in Lioness's eyes clouds as she ponders whether the Ghost is telling the truth or not. The Ghost takes this as her opportunity to take her down without much of a fight.

The Banshee is impressed with her daughter's manipulation skills and her ability to work quickly once the stage is set.

The Ghost walks away from her victim, but the Lioness's taunting, "What I thought you were going to kill me all that talk and you're just as weak as ever." makes her turn back around right as the Lioness jumps at her with a knife. She dodges the hand with the knife but can't dodge the falling body so she rolls them over the second they reach the ground to put herself on top. Grabbing the wrist of her knife hand she takes the knife away before getting up and walking away. Only for Lioness to try and tackle her again. This time the Ghost does not hesitate to use the knife in her hand to finish off her opponent once and for all.

She looks at the Banshee, "I tried to avoid it, but the bitch wouldn't stop, so I took care of her."

The Banshee shrugs moving on with having other students fight and assessing their skill levels. No one else was killed, but her friends did come close to killing their opponents as well. The other students were all wary of fighting with them now that she had openly killed one of their own, but did their best to hide it.

Once they had all had their matches they were dismissed to get lunch, but the Banshee asked the Ghost to stay back for a minute.

The Ghost rolls her eyes at her mother's blatant attempt to talk to her, but stays anyway. "So what can I help you with?" The Ghost asks boredly.

"I just wanted to give you a little feedback on your fight, I gave everyone else some right after their fight, but I was too distracted by the death to give you anything." The Ghost rolls her eyes at her rambling, but doesn't show any other emotions. "Well, I thought your use of psychological warfare was brilliant, but how did you know that her friends were killed off?"

Knowing she won't be left alone until she gives some form of an answer she replies with, "I studied with one of the girl's family and there were pictures of her before she was sent away, but when I asked what happened to her they said she got in a car crash on the way to the airport, so I knew that she had been killed because we are taught exactly how to survive any car crash."

With that said she walked away from her mother in search of her friends for lunch.
