Kamikaze over me

---

Four. That is the number of victims that had so far been murdered. It had been done in such a gruesome manner, inside the victims house. The body was never left in public, and they would only appear after a large event. No one could place blame on another, so they remained still in fear, unable to act...

What's more is that the victims were allomancers; and had their brain removed from their skull. So people were left with several questions on their plates.

Why would someone do such a terrible thing?
Who would commit such a heinous act of murder?
Where they really safe?

So, one family, fearing that they were to be targeted next, hired a guard for their daughter. She was an allomancer, and their most prized jewel. She was different, and so everyone thought her to be special. Mathamatics, sciences, reading, art--she was a jack of all trades, and succeeded in them all. At the age of twelve, she was treasured by just family like a dragon and his hoard.

Now, the beloved flower sat in a parlor, her slippers off and her finger nail between her teeth. She kept chewing on the end, her gaze drifted out towards the window that was to her right. Her brown hair was twisted up and pinned by the silver rose of her family, the gaily pink dress around her dotted with specks of cookie crumbs. She swings her feet out of the chair and puts them on the cold hardwood floor, gripping the arms of the plush armchair. "I want more cookies..."

A maid takes a few nervous steps forward and bows to the girl, "S-sorry ma'am, your father said... We are to moderate your sugar intake..."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Taking a different approach than the maid, the tall man standing next to the young noble said in his gruff voice, "You can't have anymore cookies." His arms were clasped in front of him, and his handsome face was blank. Jyis Ketail was a noble, but a lesser one from an outlying dominance, and was in the employment of the Great House that the young lady belonged to. He wasn't an Allomancer, but he was a Hazekiller, a person trained to kill Allomancers. And he was good at it.

The child twists her head and looks at him, the corners of her mouth turning downwards, "I just want one more, Jyis, it isn't gonna kill me." She slides her feet forward and pulls her shoes back towards her, "You've already put a limit on my sleeping. What's next--the amount of time I'm allowed to sit?" The silver hue of her eyes show each emotion that her placid, lady-like voice didnt express. She had taken the new hobby of mimicking his ways, but her eyes gave her away.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Take a look at the homepage?)

"Perhaps," Jyis said. Though his face and eyes remained impassive, his voice sounded amused. "It depends on how you behave. No more cookies."

[Light]

(Oh! You added the rules. I like the section header textures as well, looks pretty!)

She picks at her chewed thumbnail and curls her toes before putting them in her shoes, "But I have behaved--I behave everyday." She waves her hand up and down, "Oh, fine then. Alfered is late, any news on him?"

The maid clears her throat, "Sir Alfered was supposed to arrive ten minutes ago. We have not heard anything from him and his family miss Kamikage."

"He was supposed to bring me my new dress material..." She rests her head in her hand, her elbow propped on the arm.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I'm sure he will arrive soon enough," Jyis said. And when he did, he would get a severe talking to. No one arrived late when meeting (House name; I don't know what house she is, lol).

(Btw, his name is pronounced "Jiss")

[Light]

She exasperatedly stretches her legs out, "Maybe he tripped and rolled down a hill." The noble muses with a light tone.

"That is a.. possibility," the maid agrees--the man was known for taking quite a few tumbles.

"Maybe he joined the tumbling act and finally escaped his wife." At this the maid just shakes her head and doesn't reply. "Or maybe he forgot. I see that to be quite likely, don't you agree, Jyis?"

(Elariel <3 it sounds pretty XD and I like his name, but I thought it would be Jees lol)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Haha. I like Elariel, too. Except the only Elariel character in the book was a bad guy... Lol)

"No one forgets to meet with you, my Lady," Jyis replied. "At least, not without regretting it."

[Light]

She giggles a bit and lounges back into the chair, "They regret it because you make them. I just play with them a little." She leans her head back and closes her eyes, brown whispers of hair of falling from her bun. "I'm annoyed though. I need that dress material for daddies party."

(Ohhh XD it fits then.)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Of course," he said. He glanced toward the maid. "Why don't you go see if he's at the door. Hmm?"

[Light]

"Of course sir." The maid curtsies and leaves the room quickly, taking the empty tea pot and treat plate with her on a silver tray.

"At least I didn't have to do piano lessons today. One good thing came from his tardiness." Kami snorts and rubs a hand over her eyes.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Jyis didn't say anything to that. He moved his hands to behind his back. That was his only movement in the past ten minutes, other than talking. He wasn't a man known for useless motion. Everything had a point.

[Light]

The door reopens and the maid steps in, setting the fresh pot of tea back down before bowing again, "I recieved news that sir Alfered was mugged last night. He sustained injury and his store was devastated."

Kami wrinkles her nose and uncovers her eyes. "Oh. How unpleasant."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Indeed," Jyis agreed, though he didn't sound very interested. "In that case, it's time for your training, Lady Elariel."

[Light]

"Blegh." She sticks her tongue out, "I feel sick. Maybe later." The maid begins to pour her a cup of tea.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"That wasn't a suggestion," Jyis said. "Nor is it optional."

[Light]

She takes the cup from the silver platter, "Oh, you're no fun when it comes to those borish classes!" She takes a drink and rests it in her lap, "Sleep is just as educational."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Sleep is not educational at all," Jyis replied. "And these lesson are important for your safety, among other things. Your parents want you to know how to use your Allomancy."

[Light]

"But I don't understand it," she complains, "I know that it gives abilities and stuff, but I don't know HOW, or WHY. I'd be more interested if I did."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Jyis grunted. "No one knows," he said. "No one but the Lord Ruler. It doesn't matter."
