Absolute Imperfection

Chapter 1

Delilah was just part of an ordinary clan and so were her parents. Delilah!!!!...her mother called. She rolled off the bed and stumbled on her feet, she felt like she just finished carrying an elephant on her head and could not believe the amount the anger that went through her. She slowly walked down the stairs of her rather small big house and faced the kitchen. She was about to answer when there was a sudden bang on the door and next it was lying flat on the floor next to her.
Delilah looked up to find their clan's biggest enemy facing her and she felt a sudden surge of fear. Her mother ran to her and yelled out to run through the back... her father came running and threw what looked like a long stick that immediately created a shield around. She ran out through the back and kept running, ignoring the noises until it came to her, they were being attacked and her people were clearly not prepared. She ran through the streets and saw a sour sight before her. She looked over and saw that her best friends house was in complete ruins, her clan was in total chaos and she could bring herself to do nothing. Right before her, she saw her parents being dragged out of the house, the enemies completely unaware of her presence, she silently followed them till they got to the palace and right before her eye, she witnessed the deaths of her parents, the royals and other families both of which she knew and did not know. She felt so sick at the sight she turned away and puked with all the strength she had left.
Delilah kept running and running not looking back, remembering remembering her fathers words
*FLASHBACK*
Delilah?.. Her father called to her. Yes papa she answered. Her father her, you see my child we have a lot of people in the world that do not wish for the best for the other. Many years ago, our kings father while still in power wanted nothing but peace, he decided to end the war that had been fought for years. Our present king truly loved his father and wished that the peace remain, he then shared his power among a certain group called The Threeworlds. The Threeworlds always wanted to keep the kingdom at peace so they ensured that. A day sadly came and they found out that one of their trusted fighters had betrayed them and soon after, keeping the balance between peace and war tipped. Many refused to believe the words of the king but this was because of the influence of the anti-threeworld's, things went off balance and the king separated us from them. We followed him without questions but full faith and we ended up here, and since then we've been at peace. Sadly, they caught up on our trail and found us but luckily we have been able to keep them away, but not for long. Delilah? he called up to her. You will with time, face something that you will be too scared to acknowledge but always remember that just like the war within.. the battle out there is equally strong... never allow the within to claim what's in your heart..*
*FLASHBACK ENDS
She remembered.."we have been able to keep them, but not for long". Sighing she came to a halt and looked around, she had no idea where she was but she had a brilliant idea of who was at her front. Instinctively, she threw a stone at the man who tried evading it, giving her enough time to unbuckle her belt and slam the hard part against his bare head. So much for a bald she teased. She ran towards him in his attempt to recover and slammed a knife to his side, deep enough to send his organs in chaos and he dropped limp on the floor. She ran straight back to the destination she ran away from some few minutes ago and after what seemed to be forever, she saw her clan in the saddest of sights, it was in complete waste and felt desolate. Quickly, she ran home to grab a few basic necessities sinking in the thought for later that her home is now in shambles. On reaching home she looked around and saw blood splattered everywhere, a dead enemy and some sharp objects round the house. Her favourite part of the house which is the living room was destroyed, the kitchen messed up and the her spot of the home which she called the 'detox spot' was ruined. She slowly walked up the stairs, slower than a snail itself and reached for her room handle, she opened it and was relieved that at least they did not get to this side of the house. She reached for her closet and packed a few clothes and undergarments then went into the bathroom, she looked herself in the mirror and gave a sad sigh, opening her drawer she took out a brush, paste, hairbrush and some cream. Delilah walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. Ignoring the unwanted sight, she reached out for the kitchen cabinet and brought out some snacks and chips, she grabbed the biggest and smallest bottle of water and reached for the back door. Stepping out, she felt a sudden pain and went right back to the house, looking round, she found a box on the floor and recognized it to be what her father was holding on too earlier. She picked it up and headed outside,giving one last glance to her home, she took her heels and ran.. She ran and ran and ran not stopping then she reached the border. She realised her best friend working their was dead and that she had nobody in her family. Holding back from fury, she cleaned her eyes, crossed the border and knew that today was the day that she had to accept the fact that she was now alone in a wicked world. Delilah held back a sob, turned and saw the sad remains of her clan. She turned away and decided it was time to move to keep safe,facing the unknown darkness filled with black magic. She just walked away never looking back.
