  LUMIÈRE

  Location: Ploumanac'h Brittany

  

A man speaks in French

  "Est-Ce tout ce que vous pouvez faire!"

  Is that all you can do!

  Master Ekon snarled from outside the Ring.

  "Laissez - vous être mortel!"

  Let your kick be lethal!

  He yelled

  Breathing heavily, I threw one last kick at my Opponent but he didn't sway under the impact. My Opponent grinned at me.

  "Ne me regarde pa comme ça!"

  Don't give me that look!

  I wanted to scream at my Opponent but I was too exhausted to utter a word.

  "Get up Lumière!" Master Ekon said in a raised tone but I didn't make a move to stand up. My almighty Opponent reached out to help me up but I ignored him with a glare. I was exhausted!

  Master Ekon ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

  Every part of my body was sweaty, chest rising and falling, heartbeat at a fast rate. Master Ekon crouched down and looked straight at me.

  Two hours of intensive training isn't an easy task! I avoided meeting Master Ekon's gaze because I didn't want to see that look of disappointment on his expression.

  Can I be what they want me to be?

  A Light meant to destroy Darkness, so they said. But I haven't seen that Light in my reflection each time I look into the mirror.

  "No soyez pas une Lumière weakling!"

  Don't be a weakling Lumière!

  Master Ekon whispered harshly into my ears. I closed my eyes.

  Three Months ago, I was a normal girl, attending college and studying to achieve my dream of becoming a Medical Doctor. I am Lumière Bisset, a witch but I've never considered myself as one. I have never paid much attention to my powers or maybe I concealed them just to fill like a Human. I doubt.

  I was raised by my mom, she never allowed me use magic at home and she warned me against telling any human that I was a Witch. My mom wanted me to live a normal live but she didn't explain the "Mystery" behind my superpowers or me being a Powerful Witch. Although I didn't know I was a Powerful Witch or a Light until three months ago when two secret societies approached me and asked me for favours.

  The first secret society was "The League Of Heroes" a group of Seven comprising of 3 women and 4 Men. The leader claimed that my father belonged to the League before his death.

  My father? Unbelievable!

  Mom never mentioned it to me that dad belonged to a "SuperHero Crew"

  They disclosed their purpose for finding me.

  "Nous avons besoin de votre aide"

  We need your help

  The leader named Thibault Said in French

  "Pourquoi avez - vous besoin de mon aide?" I asked with a wide eye

  Why do you need my help?

  I was shocked to see human dressed in some mysterious outfits. They looked like Ancient Demi gods and goddesses.

  "Sais - tu qui tu es?"

  He asked

  Do you know who you are?

  “J'ai levé les sourcils!.”

  I raised my eyebrows

  Who am I?

  "Je Suis Lumière Bisset, ètudiante en medecine" I answered in French

  I am Lumière Bisset, a medical Student.

  The League laughed at my response.

  Fane?

  Funny?

  I snorted

  "We know you are Lumière"

  "Which means Light"

  Two out of Seven spoke up and again they all laughed.

  Seriously?

  I nodded in Agreement

  Lumière means Light in French.

  "Do you know the mystery behind that name Lumière?" Thibault asked

  I tried to make sense of his words but nothing occured to me.

  "Non" I repliee in French

  Meaning "No"

  "Qu'en est-il de vos capacites?" Thibault asked again

  What about your abilities?

  "What abilities?" I asked in a surprised tone.

  Comment a-ti-il pensé que j'ai capacites?!

  How did he figure I have abilities?!

  "H..ho..How -" I stuttered

  "Vous êtes une sorciere" a woman blurted and interrupted me

  You are a Witch!

  My jaw dropped slightly. That was damn straight! And I panicked!

  "Calm down Lumière. We're not here to hurt you" Thibault said, placing his hands on my shoulder blades. I stepped backward afraid that he might try to hurt me.

  "What do you want from me?" I asked, readjusting my eyeglasses.

  The League exchanged glances before Thibault spoke up again.

  "Do you remember the incidents from 10years ago?" He asked

  My forehead creased at his questioning.

  Incidents from 10 years ago?

  Let's see..I'm 20 now..So 10 years back means I was 10 years..just a little baby girl. But I don't remember anything about my childhood days..From 10years below. Sometimes I feel like I lost part of my memory.

  Thibault waited for a Response which never came from me.

  I watched them exchanged confused looks.

  "Something is wrong" A man with red hair said

  "Thibault, I suggest we talk to Aimee"

  Aimee?! That's my mom!

  "Aimee will never give us a chance" Thibault replied

  What is he talking about? What the hell is going on?!

  "Perhaps..do you know my mom?" I asked, arching my brows in the process.

  Thibault eyebrow rose in surprise and shock.

  "Wait are you saying you don't really know who we are? lumière" the youngest one said

  She was younger than the other members. The female Hero was about my age. Maybe same age or a year old. I don't know,Just saying.

  Thibault growled and she kept quiet. He walked closer to me, covering the inch between us.

  "We need your help to destroy someone" he said

  "Who?" I asked

  "He is someone you hate with your whole heart. He's a dreadful Being" the young lady said with a disgusting look on her face.

  Thibault glared at her again

  "What? Sir Thibault, let her know the truth since she doesn't remember anything. It obvious someone wiped our her memory. She doesn't even remember me..Or maybe she's pretending" she blabbed

  "Keep quiet Fleur!" He said loudly

  Oh! Her name is Fleur!

  Fleur? And i don't remember her. She said the one I'm to destroy is someone I hate with all my heart.

  Well..I don't remember hating anyone. I am an easy going person, I like minding my business. I'm an introvert and a very shy girl.

  "Who is this dreadful person?" I asked

  "Lumière, are you sure you don't know what I'm talking about?" Thibault asked

  "I'm confused" I muttered sincerely

  "It's okay. There's a being lurking around to destroy innocent lives"

  "Who is he?"

  "Ange Noir" he said

  "Ange Noir?" I repeated

  Thibault brushed a strand of hair from my face.

  "Lumière, if you want to know more about this person then reached me on this line but before you make your decision, talk to your mom. She knows better."

  He said as he dropped a piece of paper into my palm before patting my shoulder in a fatherly way.

  Seriously I missed having a Father in Life!

  "The League of Heroes and everyone in the Supernatural world is counting on you so don't let us down"

  He stepped backward. And in a flash he created portals and they disappeared before I could let out the series of questions in my head.

  And I was back to the normal world but first I was transported into another Realm for this conversation. I don't know how it happened!

  I got home and explained to my mom. But - you wanna know her response?

  "Do you know the League of Heroes?" I asked rubbing my palms together.

  She gave me a surprised look which she tried to hide after a second.

  "What are you talking about Baby?"

  She blinked several times before turning away to wash the dishes.

  "The League of Heroes" I emphasized

  "I..I don't know about them" she responded in an unsual tone. That doesn't sound like mom!

  Something is fishy!

  And I knew she wasn't telling the truth. The League knew her name but she denied them. Then I went ahead and explained more. Ange Noir. And guess what?

  The moment mom turned to face me, she snatched the piece of paper and then tore it into pieces. She was angry but at the same..Disturbed!

  "Get this out of your mind Lumière!" She yelled

  I gasped in shock. Why is she so mad?!

  She relax a bit, her shoulder coming down.

  "I'm sorry for yelling at you Baby" she whispered

  She placed her hands on the sides of my head.

  "Tell me the truth Mom"

  Anger flickered across her face again but she held back. There was no arguing with her, so I let it slide.

  Slowly she placed her hands again at the sides of my head. And after some seconds I couldn't figure out what we had discussed.

  "Calm down baby" she said softly

  "You'll be fine"

  She hugged me.
