these rapid eyes
will keep on moving Nine years ago, the fated meeting between two girls was constructed. In an effort to create the perfect weapon, one crazed woman pit two children against each other to reinforce the power that she hoped to gain. It was all the way in Hilo Hawaii. Back in America only thirty years after the discovery of quirks. A single woman named Nenephee Bijan had the care of two little girls. The first of was very own daughter, Lani. And the other was the daughter of her right-hand man and assistant. Her name of Ailxn and she was a little older than Lani. The two of them, six and eight, were in Nenephee's backyard, confused about why they had been brought out there and who the other girl was. What one could assume was a playdate was far more sinister. The woman stood in front of them with two sticks in her hand. They were a little heavy for the children, but at the very least they could swing them well enough. What possible lesson could a woman have for kids at these ages that required sticks probably wasn't the best kind of parenting. And yet, here she was, holding them up and looking down to them. "Take these girls." The woman said without much care in her voice. It was as if she saw them as objects rather than two little girls that deserved her love and care. And in the case for at least one of them, that was exactly it. Lani, the woman's daughter, looked up at her mother sheepishly and confused. Ever since the incident with Lani undressing in the yard and the visit to the doctor after that she had been acting strangely. She did scary things that made the girl afraid of her mother. Her usual callous attitude just didn't make sense to someone as young as Lani. And now, in the dress she was forced to wear, she timidly held her hand out for her mother to give her the stick that she wanted them to take. Defying her mother was pretty scary after all. As it was set in her small hands, the girl nearly dropped the piece of wood as she didn't expect the weight form it. the tip of the stick in the ground as she reached to grab the other end with both her hands and leaned forward a bit. Lani didn't say anything though. She didn't understand what they were for or why her mother had such a mean look on her face. She was too afraid to ask after the terrible thing she witnessed before and inside looked over at Ailxn. The two of them were opposites. Lani had dark skin like her mother and white hair as a contrast. Ailxn, on the other hand, was much lighter and had vivid red hair. It was her first time seeing the girl, so maybe she was the safe one to speak with. Maybe even a new friend. "Hi..." Lani spoke up timidly, hoping she wasn't stepping out of line. ulla |

Who was this girl? WHo was this lady? And while did her father have her meeting with his boss? Ailxn didn't understand. She wasn't old enough to make sense of it all. Her father had come to her this morning to tell her that she wasn't going to school today. For any child that was amazing. And as much as she liked going to be with her friends, she didn't like having to sit there bored and listening to the adults. It was so boring that she acted out often and that got her a whole lot of attention from the other students. She really liked that, but she was more interested in not being bored. That said, getting to see her daddy's work was interesting too. She didn't understand what he did, but she was going to meet his boss. This was the lady that was in charge of her dad, so that was something at least. When she arrived, she had to sit down and wait. Ailxn didn't like that at all. But then this girl showed up. She was younger than Ailxn and was pretty little. It was a playmate! At least that was how AIlxn saw it. Someone to fill her time while her father worked. But then the girl's mother came out too and she was her dad's boss! They were both ushered outside and AIlxn was even more confused. If they were just going to play outside, why did the lady have to come as well? Ailxn didn't know, but she did as she was told. It was what she did best after all. Outside, Ailxn looked up at the woman, not sure why she had a pair of sticks in her hands. They were handed to the both of them and Ailxn took her stick with gusto. SHe looked down at it and tilted her head to the side with a confused look. Were they supposed to play with these? Maybe they were going to have a sword fight, like in the movies! When the knight fought for the princess and became the winner. That made sense! At least in Ailxn's mind, it did. There had to be a winner, there always was. And the winner was the best one. AIlxn wanted to be that one. If this lady was her daddy's boss, then AIlxn wanted her to pay attention to Ailxn just as much as her dad did. She had to win that attention. So without a word, Ailxn turned to Lani and bonked her o the head with the stick. "I win!" She immediately exclaimed without regard to whatever the rules or engagement was. Ailxn kind of just decided it for herself to get the upper hand and get the attention from the lady. I fact, instead of even looking at Lani to see how her strike affected the girl. Ailxn looked right up at the lady with a big smile on her face. "I win right?" She asked, seeking praise and affection from the woman. - Lani Bijan |

these rapid eyes
will keep on moving As Lani handled the stick in her hands, she looked up at her mother in confusion. What she didn't expect at all was to suddenly get hit over the head with the stick It was completely unexpected and it hurt. The small girl imperatively dropped the stick she just got ready and hunched over. She brought her hands to her head where she was it while her eyes started to tear up. "Oww..." She muttered as she started to cry It was the first time she had been hit like that. A new experience in pain and she didn't like it at all. her only reaction was to cry in an effort to ease the pain and communicate how much it hurt her. Hearing AIlxn cheer of victory made the small girl realize that Ailxn was the one behind the smack to her head. Why would she do something like that? It was mean and it hurt. "Mom...." She muttered, wanting her mother to make her feel better.
As far as Lani knew, that was what her mother was there for. She provided food, shelter, and all the pleasantries that Lani expected of her mother. But Instead of a kiss on the forehead or any kind of reprieve in general, Lani was met with harsh words. "That's the initiative I like to see.." The woman said, looking at Ailxn and patting her on the head as praise. She eyes them slowly moved over to Lani with an almost disgusted look. In Nenephee's mind, the little girl had a long way to good. She couldn't even seize a prime opportunity. "Stand up Lani. Don't come crying to me every time something happens. You've got to depend on yourself." She said, scolding the little girl. Lani didn't really understand it at all. How was she supposed to prepare for something like that? How was she supposed to know she was going to get hit. And how was she supposed to stop it? Ever since that day, her mother had been so weird and it really bothered Lani. She really didn't understand what was going on at all. Still crying, the girl stood up, picking up her stick as she did. Her other hand rubbed just under her eyes as she tried to regain her composure, but couldn't.
"But it hurt mom..." She protested only to have tot rebutted immediately. "Then make sure it doesn't happen again!" And with that, the woman pushed the girls apart so that they had a little more distance between them. She turned them both of them so that they would be facing each other and then stepped back. She crossed her arms over her chest and nodded down to the girls. "Since Ailxn has the right idea, I think she's good. So keep it up until I declare a winner. If you don't want it to hurt Lani, you better do better." She told them both of them. It was silly to expect a child of Lani's age to be able to do anything of the sort, especially against a girl that was older than her. And yet, that was exactly what her mother wanted of her. She pit the two girls against each other two strengthen them both and she was going to start early. ulla |

Ailxn had a wide smile on her face as the woman praised her. Hell yeah, she won! There was no such thing as being fair in a competition, not in Ailxn's mind. Winning was what got the woman to like base don that moment and that's all Ailxn needed to understand. This other girl, the woman's daughter was smaller and weaker than her. It was going to be easy! She wouldn't even need to use her quirk, not that Ailxn was very good with it anyway. The sun was shining pretty brightly outside, but as long as shadows existed, Ailxn's quirk could do some real work if she wanted it to. But for this girl, Ailxn's natural talent was good enough. It was time to show the woman, her father's boss, that Ailxn was worth it! "Yeah! Maybe then you'll be almost as good as me!" Ailxn bragged, standing tall with her hands on her hips. She had her stick held firmly in her hand as she did and looked up at the woman for confirmation of her boasting. Ailxn was definitely a pleaser. She wanted the admiration of others as much as their attention. And it didn't matter that she had to hurt the woman's own daughter for that to happen. In Ailxn's mind, the woman was fine with it and Ailxn just had to be the better daughter. What better way to monopolize her attention than replacing her daughter with a better one. It wasn't like Ailxn had a mom anyway! And with that, it seemed they were going to have a sword fight. Like the prices in fairy tales, they were going to clash their sticks to determine the winner. They were going to battle to win the attention of another and Ailxn loved it. From any position, it was a good idea. As the price, she could fight and prove she was worth attention. And as the princess, she would have people fighting for her attention. it was a double whammy of twisted appeasement. Moving the stick in front of her, Ailxn held it with both of her small hands. She wasn't going to wait for the girl at all. An early strike was what got her praise before, so it would definitely work again right!? So naturally, Ailxn rushed forward to attack Lani again. And being the simple child that she was, she was going to do the exact same thing again. An overhead strike right on the girl's forehead. Ailxn wouldn't hold back. The sadist side of her felt as though the more she hurt the girl the better she would appear to the woman. So hurting Lani as much as possible was the way to do things. And of course, Ailxn didn't really have a plan after that. As far as she was concerned, this was a certain victory. If she didn't do it before then why would she do it again? Ailxn was so into it, she let out a mighty shout as she did it, like on the cartoon shows that she wanted. It didn't make much sense, but Ailxn was really getting into it. - Lani Bijan |

these rapid eyes
will keep on moving Lani fumbled to hold her stick for a moment but took the time to get a better grip on it. It didn't seem like her mother was going to help her out and wanted her to learn it on her own. Lani didn't really understand the reasoning behind it. She didn't understand why her mother would let someone else hurt her and why she was being s weird. Ever since that visit to the doctor things were different and it made Lani feel bad. She felt different and felt like this was her fault. Truthfully, all that happened was that her quirk was discovered and her mother wanted to foster her into becoming a better weapon. Pitting her against someone else was a good way to do that in the woman's eyes and the whole reason behind Lani's birth. And yet for as long as Lani was, it was something she'd never really understand. Not until she was much older and looked back on the things that happened back then.
But, Lani didn't have the time to dwell on that fact. As soon as the two little girls were in position the same thing was about to happen. The other girl, whom Lani had just met today, was already poised to attack her and hit her again. This time, Lai was able to spot it but was still slow and surprised. She actually dropped her stick and rose her arms up to block her head from getting hit. It was the exact opposite of what her mother wanted to happen. The woman had an expression of visible frustration. Why did Lani drop the stick and why wasn't she just fighting back? What was wrong with her child!? Ailxn, a stranger and the daughter of a man that worked for her had caught on right away to what she was supposed to do, but Lani was being far too timid. It was easy to see that Nenephee was bothered by it. There was going to be a long road ahead of her if she wanted her plans to work out the way she wanted them to.
The woman audibly sighed and shook her head. At a moment like this, encouraging words were supposed to be said to get her kid to do something, but the woman just didn't have that in her. So motivate would come in the form of berating Lani for not doing things right. "What are you doing Lani!" She yelled out. "Why are you dropping the stick! If you don't want it to hurt, you need that." It was clear that with Ailxn's attack, Lani was just going to be on the defensive the whole time. But at the very least she could use the stick to defend herself. But Lani couldn't even do that. And now the small girl was being pushed back by the redhead as she cowered behind her increasingly battered arms. This clearly wasn't going anywhere soon and yet, the woman's attention was on Lani and not Ailxn at all. ulla |

A kind of devious smile grew on Ailxn's face as the girl ended up completely on the defense. She even dropped her stick. Ailxn had this int he bag! She was bigger, better, and smarter than this other little girl and all the attention was going to be on her. She was the winner and she was going to show that! Just like her father, the woman was going to have Ailxn on her mind and that was that! So as the little redhead struck her playmate, she chuckled a bit. This was so easy and simple that it was like it was free. A free pass to get what she wanted and show that she was great! Her eyes glanced up from her target dummy to the woman and what she saw didn't please Ailxn at all. Even if Ailxn was winning, she wasn't the one being watched. It was kind of just a peripheral rather than an actual view. The woman was watching her own daughter. Like, Ailxn was clearly doing better. He was winning and the other girl wasn't even fighting back. So why wasn't the woman paying attention to her? It didn't make any sense and Ailxn hated it. How come that wasn't working? How come she couldn't just show that she was great? Why was it like this? It frustrated the girl. Here she was proving herself and still not getting what she wanted. That wasn't supposed to be how it worked. Angry with the thoughts in her own mind, Ailxn kicked Lani to push her down to the ground. It wasn't like she was a threat at all. The little girl was barely doing anything. Instead, Ailxn turned to face the woman and looked up at her. "Hey, I'm winning right?" She asked, pointing to herself with her free hand and holding up her stick like a triumphant tool. Ailxn wanted the validation. That recognition that she was doing things right and impressing the woman. She was clearly doing better, so why wasn't this working out? There was a visible look of frustration on her face. She wasn't happy with things at all despite doing really well. "Tell me I'm doing it right!" Ailxn demanded of her now. Her spoiled nature was coming to the surface. Her father usually gave her whatever she wanted. If she didn't get it, she cried and complained until she did. And with Ailxn being the only person in her father's life Ailxn was used to pouting and complaining working for her. But this time she didn't know who she was speaking to. She didn't know what kind of woman her father's boss was and she didn't know just want kind of goals the woman had. She didn't know how well she used people and how her cries for attention and recognition were going to be used against her. She was just a small child after all. And just like Lani, she was just another tool in this woman's selfish plans. - Lani Bijan |

these rapid eyes
will keep on moving The girl just didn't stop and Lani's arms were hurting more and more. There didn't seem to be an end to it at all. And what looked like a few short moments to a distant observer felt like an eternity for little Lani. She didn't understand why she had to take a beating like this or what was trying to be accomplished here. The other girl already won, so why was this still going on. Lani didn't get ti at all and couldn't help but start to cry again. At this point, the girl had folded over and was covering her head with her battered arms, trying to make the pain stop. And her mother watched her with mild disgust. This wasn't going at all as she had hoped. Nenephee aimed to create something powerful. And as much as she hated Lani's father, she knew the man was passionate and strong. Nenephee fancied herself a strong and passionate person as well, so why was their daughter none of these things. It should have just been a natural progression for her. There was no moment of retribution or final stand or even fighting back.
The girl just keeled over and let it all happen. Lani was a failure and Nenephee didn't accept that. The woman sighed, only to glance over at Ailxn as she started to yell at her. This was the attitude she wanted out of Lani. The urge to win and be better than others. So why wasn't that happening? And yet, this girl from the man that worked for her seemed to have the personality that Nenephee wanted in Lani If only there was some way to fuse the two. The woman raised a hand to the bridge of her nose and started to rub it a bit. "Get up Lani." She said, ignoring ailxn completely. It wasn't that Ailxn hadn't done a good job, it was just that Lani was the one that held Nenephee's attention. For now, however, it seemed like this session was a failure. It seemed like Lani wasn't motivated enough to do what her mother wanted her to do and Nenephee wanted to change that. Her defiant attitude didn't seem to translate over to fighting, but Nenephee knew how to change that.
There'd be no remorse, not even for her own daughter. For now, Nenephee just turned around and waved the girls off, going back inside of the house and leaving them there without a word. No solace to Lani and no praise to Ailxn. Neither of them was going to get what they wanted. Nenephee didn't truly care for them after all. As the sliding glass door that led inside slammed shut, Lani looked up to see that her mother had abandoned her. She rubbed her face just under her eyes, almost better the Hawaiian dirt into them as she stood up. and looked longingly at her mother. "W-wait..." She said as she started to hobble over to her mom. What had she done now? ulla |

Ailxn stared at the woman as she attacked her daughter. However, it seemed that no matter what was done, the woman gave Ailxn no real acknowledgment. Not anymore. In fact, she seemed to get more and more upset as Ailxn demonstrated her clear advantage over her other. The little redhead just didn't understand it at all. Why wasn't this working out how she wanted. Why was this woman unhappy with her winning. She was doing so well and not even a single attack from the other girl could get through, so why wasn't she being praised for that? Praise was supposed to happy when you won right? "What..." Ailxn mutter as the woman just turned around and went back inside. Was that it? Was that all there was to it? Ailxn was not satisfied. She was doing things right as far as she could tell and yet the woman just left him. Ailxn couldn't have possibly done anything wrong, so the fault had to lie in the other girl. That was what it was. The other girl wasn't doing her part. She wasn't putting up a good fight so that Ailxn could make it clear how well she was winning. It was all Lani's fault. Ailxn angrily turned toward the little dark sin girl and swung again. This time it was out of frustration rather than just wanting to win. Ailxn was angry and she laced all the blame on Lani. Why couldn't she just do it right! "What's your problem!" Ailxn yelled. It was clear that she was upset. Her brow furrowed and she gripped her stick harder than it needed to be. In fact, it was clenched so hard that it was entirely possible that Ailxn could injure herself if the stick suddenly moved in a weird direction But AIlxn didn't notice or care. She was just mad that things didn't go her way. What kind of messed up deal was this!? The redhead threw her stick to the ground and stomped her foot. She didn't know how to release this anger. Just hitting Lani wasn't enough. It didn't soothe her mood and didn't make anything better. The girl was so bothered that she was starting to become short of breath. She ended up taking a deep breath after a few moments and shook her head. "Why can't you just do it right!?" Though it wasn't something one could expect from an older person, Ailxn was starting to cry now. She wasn't getting her way and she didn't know how to deal with it. Nothing was really working and she felt bad. She wanted the feeling and didn't know what to do with it at all, so her eyes swelled up with angry tears even though she wasn't the one hurt or turned away by her own parent. It was Ailxn's selfish nature plain on the surface. But what could one expect from a child so young and so used by the adults around her? It was the start of a troubled childhood for both of them. |
