12 Past Memories Part 2 (2/2)

Shadow: ”Yeah I find that hard to believe. So are you going to still tell me about your past?”

Neo brings her scroll phone close to shadows bloody cheeks and presses play.

Neo: ”I never knew my parents. They abandoned me when I was little, they thought that I was useless because I couldn't talk. My parents threw me aside like I was trash because I couldn't fully use my semblance. I was a mistake. I was left alone to fend for myself in this cold and brutal world. I would spend most of my time either begging for food or training my semblance by copying other humans for days on out. I created my own friends in my own mind and I created my own image of myself. I don't even know what I I really look like. My whole life had no purpose, that was until I meet someone who actually didn't care that I couldn't talk or use my semblance properly. He was the one who saved me from my enteral prison of loneliness.”

'Damn that's dark. She must be talking about Roman. He must have trained her to become stronger and then brought her along to work with Cinder and Salem.' Shadow was finally starting to understand that no everyone's past is perfect. But the past and present it what defines us a living being. Shadow now started to formulate a new plan. 'How about I stay in Salem' s Castle and train as much as I can. That way I can grow stronger and then escape to Vale. I do have one important choice to make. Who's side should I choose? If I get to Vale in time I can stop the Fall of Beacon from happening and save many Huntress and Huntsmen lives, including Prryha! Damn this is not good at all.”

Neo begins sniffle when she thinks about her past, she was almost about to cry. 'Woah. Who knew she had a gentle side to her. I always thought she was sadistic. I guess I will just console her and get some answers out of her, so that I can find a way out of this castle which is heavily guarded by the toughest of criminals and villains'

The prison door chambers open, Cinder walks in with someone nearby her. It was a man who had red and raven black spikey hair and he was wearing a grimm skull mask that only covered his eyes.

”So is this boy I will be training with?” Says Adam Taurus as he grips his katana gunblade which was called 'Wilt and Blush'.

”We will both train him.” Cinder corrects him.

”You have one week to prove to us that you are worthy enough to serve under Salem.” Cinder coldly says as she tosses down a black and red jacket for Shadow to put on.

”Neo bring him to the sparring room. The cuffs stay on.” She instructs her little subordinate.
