Chapter 23

A few weeks later Anya was able to make a full recovery, however she still was not able to walk properly.

The day she went to school she was in a wheelchair.

Loid: have a good day Anya and please be careful...
Anya: don't worry about me papa! I will be fine.

Becky popped out of nowhere.

Becky: don't you worry Mr. Forger! Me and Desmond will take care of your daughter!

She took the handles of the wheelchair.

Anya: Bye papa!
Loid: take care!

Becky rolled the wheelchair into Eden's school gate.

While walking, Anya could read their minds.

???: she is probably just faking it.
???: what a loser she probably is doing this for attention.
???: oh it's the girl from the imperial scholars that was a victim of a knife attack... Poor thing...
???: she is literally such an attention seeker.
???: no one cares about you!
??? : faker!
???: faker!

Anya: scary...
Becky: what is it Anya?
Anya: Becky! Everyone keeps saying that I am faking it... well almost everyone.
Becky: don't listen to them! People can be shallow! They only see what is on the outside but not the inside...

Anya: heh, she reminds of her 6 year old self...

----

They finally made it to class.
Becky took a seat but Anya stayed on her wheelchair.
The seasonded teacher walked in.

Mr. Henderson: elegant morning to you all... Before we begin, I would like to welcome Anya back. I hope you had made a full recovery.
Becky: Mr. Henderson.
Mr. Henderson: yes Ms. Black bell.
Becky: Not going to lie, Eden was so dull without Anya-chan!
Mr. Henderson: that is an elegant statement Ms. Blackbell.
Amy: I think Eden was better without her! That filthy commenar.

The entire class burst out laughing.

Mr. Henderson: that is enough all of you! That was a very inelegant way of greeting back a mentally recovering patient. It is a traumatic experience for your information.

These words were enough to shut Amy up.

Just then Damian came in to the class room.

Damian: good morning Mr. Henderson. I was just helping out a teacher.

He handed the teacher a peice of paper.

Mr. Henderson: very well Sir. Desmond, you may go to your seat.

Damian walked to his seat. He grinned at Anya as he was walking by.

Anya looked at him with a smile on her face, but couldn't help but be concerned.

Becky: Desmond doesn't look too good today...
Anya: he seems off...

----

After class it was break time. Damian came up to Anya.

Damian: come on I'll help.

As he rolled Anya down the halls, Anya was getting even more concerned.

Once they made it to the school garden, Anya decided to ask him what was bothering him.

Anya: sy-on boy... Are you feeling alright?

He smiled softly at her.

Damian: I am fine... Just don't worry about me...
Anya: sy-on boy you're not that good at lying...something is clearly bothering you...
Damian: it's nothing...
Anya: just tell me!
Damian: for the final time no..
Anya: Damian if you don't tell me I will be upset!
Damian: my father got arrested alright!

Anya's heart dropped.

Anya: your-your father got arrested..
Damian: yes... They found he was plotting a war against the desision of other politicians in the country... So he was arrested for fraud and basically breaking the signed deal...
Anya: what are you going to do now?
Damian: what do you mean?
Anya: what is going to happen to your family...
Damian: judging by it my brother Demitruis is going to take over... As the new head of the party..
Anya: and what about-
Damian: the arranged marriage? It depends on what Demitruis decides..

----

Later that day in the Forgers' home, they were watching the news for the day.

Television-

*Mr Demitruis, what are you planning for the future of Ostainia?

Demitrius: I have a ideas for a future full of hope and peace..

*Mr Demitruis, what do you think of your father's actions???

Demitruis: well sir, I can tell you now that I was not involved in my father's disappointing plans...

Loid: it's amazing how people still trust the Desmonds after their scandle...

Loid: operation strix is a success... Thanks to the hardwork Anya and Yor put in...

Anya felt a sense of pride.

Loid: we have been through many ups and downs... Here I am thinking I was to abandon them after the mission... But that wasn't the case...

Anya was happy and thought world peace was in her grasp.

Loid: however-
Anya: shock!
Loid: WISE gave me another mission, Operation Sustineo.. This time I don't want to drag Yor and Anya into this one...
Anya: double shock!
Loid: seeing how dangerous it was last time, I don't want them involved.
Anya: triple shock!
Loid: considering how they also almost blew are cover...
Anya: that's it Anya's dead...

Anya slumped in her seat.
Yor and Loid looked at her worriedly.

Yor: are you okay dear!!
Loid: are you feeling dizzy? Is it because of your wounds?

While Yor was tending to Anya, Anya was read her father's thoughts.

Loid: I also... Don't want to ruin Anya's relationships.

Anya looked at her father in awe.

Yor: are you feeling okay now Anya!

----

Anya was lying on her bed.

Anya: papa... Cares about me...

She smiled to her self.

Anya: heh... I don't think I should be involved in this one... And I won't get into papa's way...

With that in mind she fell asleep.

The word Sustineo in this chapter means endure in Latin. The reason I chose it is because Damian has to endure another family loss so the the country's peace is maintained.

P. S I stayed up for way took long... T^T
