Liam Kaiser
Liam watched as Tesla tried to speak through the tears and short breaths. He heard something about her father. Liam understood, something bad had happened to her father. Before Liam could ask what had happened to him, she seemed to stand up straighter and she calmed her voice down. Speaking clearly, she asked Liam if he could help mover her father into the house. Liam gave a slight nod. She turned around and stared leading him through the house. While they walked, Tesla spoke. She said conveyed that bounty hunters had tried to collect money from her father, she had spared their lives. Liam felt the deep pulse of soft anger increase slightly within him. If ever saw them, they would die. Liam followed Tesla’s gaze as she glanced at a trial of blood. He heard her mention that she had severed one of the assailants hands. She joked that she should have kept it to send to the huts as a gift.
Then Liam heard a hoarse sounding voice call out, but he couldn’t make out the words. He looked in the direction of the sound and caught a glimpse of Tesla’s father laying on the ground. Tesla dashed over to him. She whispered something. When Liam got close he could see the mans condition more clearly. There was a lot of blood, it did not look good. Liam watched as Tesla laid her hands on the man, and his condition seemed to improve slightly. Liam had never seen such a thing and was surprised for a moment, but he quickly sobered up as Tesla said something. She was begging him, saying that he was all she had. He did not know what to do, he could do nothing for the man. Liam backed up as Tesla stood up and turned around to face him. She asked him carry her father to his room, saying that he was to heavy for her. Liam nodded. Tesla said something about using the force, then she stopped and he saw her tear up again.
He moved quietly past Tesla and picked up her father, trying to be as gentle as he could. He was not used to carrying injured people so he was a little rough, but nothing that would harm the man. He carried the man through the house swiftly and efficiently. When they reached the man’s bed, he laid him down and backed up. He looked at the man. Liam was unsure if he would die or not, he knew nothing about saving people. Only about killing them. He stepped away, moving out of her way so that she could reach her father. He thought briefly about searching for the bounty hunters, to slaughter them and whoever hired them.
A flash of a memory went through his mind, some of the nice faces from the facility. He wondered how many times he had gone through what Tesla was going through right now. When he was at the facility he had lost count. How often had they put him through the cycle? Every month? Every Week? He knew what she was feeling right now. He knew what she might feel soon. He no longer cared what they had done to him, for it had made him strong. But when he thought about Tesla going through it, he knew he did not like it. He decided to stay, he did not want to leave Tesla alone. “What do you need?” He asked, stepping forward a bit.
