LUMIÈRE
EPISODE ONE
Location: Ploumanac'h Brittany
(A man speaks in French) "Est-Ce tout ce que vous pouvez faire!" Master Ekon snarled from outside the Ring. (Is that all you can do!)
"Laissez - vous être mortel!" He yelled. (Let your kick be lethal!)
Breathing heavily, I threw one last kick at my Opponent but he didn't sway under the impact instead 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!" He yelled again, hitting the ring floor in anger. (Don't be a weakling Lumière!)
Master Ekon whispered harshly into my ears. I closed my eyes.
"You're the light to end darkness. And I need you to exercise the power in you! Use it on him!" He pointed to my opponent.
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 because 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"The leader named Thibault Said in French. (We need your help)
"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?
"Do I look like a clown?" 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 replied in French (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?! I asked myself within. (How did he figure I have abilities?!)
"Your 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! No one is supposed to know about it!
"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 question. Incidents from 10 years ago? Let's see,I'm 20 now. So 10 years back means I was 10 years old,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 asked. 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 out 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. How did they do that?! And I was back to the normal world but first I was transported into another 'Realm' for the 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 calming down. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Baby" my mom whispered as 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.

EPISODE TWO
I was asleep in my bedroom at night when I felt extra ordinary forces in my room. I opened my eyes, everywhere was dark and silent. The hair at the back of my neck rose. De Ja Vu. And without moving from my bed I switched on the light with my powers. Even though my mom had banned me from using magic at home, I still use my powers and read spell books secretly. Sh! This is between you and me. You can't tell my mom about it. Got it? Thanks. "Hello Lumière," A man coaxed. I sat up immediately, wondering how they managed to get into my bedroom. Seven Humans! "Sincere apologies for disturbing you, My Princess." The same man said, as he walked closer to my king sized bed. I hopped out of bed before he reached me. Feeling confused and annoyed. Why? I was confused because I haven't seen these faces in my life. And annoyed because they are in my room without my consent,that's Trespassing. How in hell did they get in?! I clenched my fists. "Who are you?" I asked annoyance clear in my tone. "Relax Lumière, we're not here to hurt you," the man said calmly Wait, my ear tinged and eyebrows rose at his statement. I felt like "I've heard these words before" Where? And who said it to me? I couldn't figure it out. "Why are you in my room?" I rode my eyebrows again. (J'ai Levé les Sourcils!) "Sneaking into my room without my permission is Trespassing. Then I'm gonna call the Cops right now."I reached out to my phone but it disappeared. I gasped in shock. How did it happened? "Call the Cops and see what happens to you," The man snapped and the rest laughed. "You're a Superhuman, so turning us in means you are exposing yourself too." He chuckled "We'll all rot in Jail My Princess" He chuckled. They have powers like me! But they looked normal! Princess? Why is he calling me Princess? A blur image flashed my mind. I caught a glimpse of seven people and I couldn't make sense of the image before it disappeared. I looked up when my bedroom door opened. My mom rushed to me. "Oh my God, Lumière are you okay?" My mom panicked as she checked me out to see if I was fine. She was worried. Didn't she see our guests? "C'est bon de te revoir Darcy" The man said with a smirk (Good to see you again Darcy) Darcy? I looked at my mom. She wasn't surprised to see the Seven strangers in my room. And then she turned to face them. "Are you Darcy?" I asked before she could say anything. She closed her eyes while I waited for a response. "Yes, her name is Darcy before some idiot made her betray us and then changed her name to Aimee."he mocked,his team laughed. "Wh..what are you saying?" I asked shakily. My mom stood by my side protectively. ""Oh! She didn't tell you about us?" He asked "What?" "She was -" "Fous le camp de ma maison Marco!" She screamed (Get the hell out of my home Marco!) I jumped in fear because I haven't heard her scream that much. In a swift movement my mom faced me, looking different, her eyes darkened as she placed her hands at the sides of my head again. Why is she always doing this to me? I pondered "No,No,mom" I moved away from her "Get back here Lumière!" She said in a harsh tone. J'etais effrayé! I was scared I wanted to know what she was hiding but I couldn't disobey her. I could never stand a chance of going against her orders. "Ne va pas à sa Lumière." Marco said (Don't go to her Lumiere) He grabbed my wrist and pulled me away from my mom. "Sie können ihr Gedachtris nicht löschen!" A woman snarled in German. (You can't erase her memory) What? Wipe out my memory?! My eyes widened as realization hit me straight in the face. She wiped out my memory each time she placed her hands at the sides of my head! How come she was able to do that without having powers?! And why? I wondered. A loud sound stunned me out of thought. My mom slapped Marco and his head fell to one side. I gasped in shock. "She's my child and I can do whatever to her!" Marco pushed me to his team and they surrounded me, leaving me in the circle. No doubt, mom knew these strangers. "Nul doute que ma mère connaissait ces etrangers" Marco said In a low tone (She would have been our child) What? I sensed a connection between them. What's going on? "I'm not Darcy but Aimee!" She snapped Why did she wipe my memory? Why did she hide so many things from me? Why did she ban me from using magic? Why? Why so many why's? I couldn't give a definite answer to these questions in my head. I was oblivious of so many things concerning my mom. "Sues kenne die Regeln, aber sie haben sie gebrochen!" Marco barked (in German) (You know the rules, but you broke them) "Ich gehore nicht mehr zur liga!" My mom replied (I don't belong to the League anymore!) "Aber du warst einmal ein Bösewicht wie wir!" Marco laughed (You were once a Villian like us) What?! Did he just say Villian?! Our gaze locked. "I..Ist es wahr?" I asked her. (Is it true?) "Tell her the truth Darcy, you can't keep wiping out her memory. It'll only weaken the Light ability in her. Do you even know what sort of power you posses Lumière?" Marco said, turning to look at me. I gave him a slow negative nod. "Du bist etwas Besonderes" He added (You are special) Then he faced my mom again. "Darcy.." He reached out to touch her cheeks but she stepped away. "Bitte geh" she muttered (Please Leave Marco) If she was a Villian, that means - Mom has Superpowers! Unbelievable! "You have to reverse it, every part you've wiped out." Marco said "That's none of you business!" Marco turned away from her and headed towards us. "Elle vient avec nous" He blurted (in French) (She's coming with us) His team did a small show of fighting mastery before closing up the circle. Trying to stop my mom from reaching me. Wait, did I hear him clearly? she's coming with us? No! I would never follow them! "We need you to help us" Marco said, looking straight into my eyes. "I'm not coming with you." I objected. "Marco she's doesn't know anything." My mom muttered "That's because you erased everything and cut her out of The Supernatural World!" Marco answered "And from what am seeing right now, I see a powerful witch being caged but screaming for freedom. Darcy, you've made her weak. But I'm going to save her and use her wisely." Marco said to himself. And I could read his mind. "No Marco, she doesn't belong to The League Of Villains but Heroes. Her father was a hero." My mom said as two Villain held her down on her knees. When did that happened? "You are a Villian Lumière but a special one." he said loudly "No she's not a Villian! Her father was a Hero!" Mom repeated. "But you were a Villian!" He snarled back. "That scumbag made you betray us. And if you hadn't fell for him then you would still be in the League! Right by my side!" He gritted What? My dad was a Hero? what's all this Leagues about? So Many Secrets unraveling. "Yes! I betrayed the League because I didn't want to be part of the Creation of the Beast! Creating a beast meant to destroy the World!" "You betrayed us but we succeeded." He smiled "Mais il a fini parte mordre dans le cul" she mocked (But he ended up biting you in the ass) "Yes but not me but those who created him. He's still much alive, somewhere in this world." he said "Una ich werde ihn finden." Marco said within and I could hear his thoughts. I read through his mind in seconds and all I sensed was Danger. He will find him! Evil thoughts! "Ich weiß dass du meine Gedanken Lesen Kannst" He said (in German) (I know you can read my mind Lumière) I looked at him and he smirked. "J'ai besoinde toi pour m'aider à sauver queiqu'un" Marco said (in French) (I need you to help me save someone) "Qui?" I asked (Who?) "A friend's child. He has been missing for years." he answered. I told him. "Go to the Cops and make a report." He chuckled internally. "You are the only one who can find and save him from those who wants to destroy him." "Who want to destroy him?" "Our opponent, The League Of Heroes. I came as quick as a friend found your location. We need to find him before the other league." Marco said

EPISODE THREE
"No Lumière,he's evil,all of them." a Familiar voice pleaded. And my gaze fell on my mom. She held a pleading look. Tears pooled in my eyes. If only she had explained things to me then everything would have been less awkward for me. I wasn't hating her but I was not happy about what she did to me. "I'm sorry Lumière. I did it to protect you." she said into my mind again. "We can own the world Lumière. Once we find him then we'll take over the world and everyone will be at our feet." Marco said I looked up at him. He grinned wickedly. "You're a Light to the world, my baby. You were born to save people and not to destory innocent lives. You know I love you,and for Years it has been only us,just you and me. Please don't go to him, I love you so much." she cried in my mind. It was a battle of the mind. I looked at her. She was crying. "Well will you tell everything if I get them out of our home?" I mindlinked her. "Yes,I'll restore your memory." She agreed. "Sure?" She nodded. "tu as i'air distrait" Marco said (You look distracted) "Sorry, I was thinking about your offer," I answered trying to play my card well. I put up a facade of thinking about his offer. "I need your Yes Lumière." He said. "Do you have a cellphone?" I asked Marco rasied his brows. "Why?" "To contact you when I'm done thinking about it." "Can't you go with me right now?" He asked. "No, my mom isn't feeling well and I promised to always be with her." I breathed Out, hoping that he won't discover that I was deceiving him. "Is it something serious?" He asked In a concerned tone. "Cancer." I replied Sweet Jesus! Forgive me for telling lies! Wondering how a witch knew Jesus..Well remember I lived as a normal Human. "But she's going to be fine?" He was worried about her. "I don't know her chances yet." "Okay..do you have a pen?" He asked I nodded and rushed to my bed side drawer and took out a pad and pen. "I'm counting on you, Lumière" He gave the pad to me and stepped backward and I nodded He whistled and the two villian released my mom and came to his side while I went to my mom. "My offer is still on Darcy" he said "C'est fini" My mom said (Its over) "Es ist aus?" A Villain said (In German) He shook his head impatiently. "No, it's over when I say it's over. So have it in mind, I'm coming for you soon." He said "A bientôt" Mom said "Au Revour" he added and they disappeared. My mom sighed in relief. Maintenant asseyons - nous et entendons les grands secrets! (Now let's sit and hear the Big Secrets) My mom hugged me tightly. "Thank God, he didn't take you forcefully." she whispered into my ear. "Is Marco your Ex?" I ask without thinking. "Yes we were together when I was a Villain." I know the reason why she left the League. She didn't want to be part of the creation of a being. What Being? Who is he? He must be really dangerous. Marco seemed determined to find him for some selfish reasons. "I broke up with him when I figured that we couldn't work out." She withdrew from me "Lumière, I'm sorry for erasing your memory. Forgive me Baby" she apologized. I am 20 but mom calls me Baby and treats me like a baby. She rested her forehead on mine. "Can you bring them back?" "Yes but the recent incident that happened." "So you erased my memory in the past?" I asked trying not to get furious at her. "Yes, your growing up days." She answered. "Why?" I moved away from her. "I'll tell you everything but let me restore the ones I can for now..Please." she said I nodded before moving back to her. She placed her hands at the sides of my head and then she began to chant a Spell! Then again I realized my mom was a Witch! And all these years I didn't even know or suspect it! I mean I haven't seen her using her powers! She was a witch but she never liked Magic! Strange! A bright light flashed in my eyes and I felt them glowing. Her chant grew higher and I felt the shock wave of power within me. And images flooded my mind's eye. Quick ones and in a flash until I saw Seven people dressed in strange outfits. I heard our conversations in my head. He wanted me to destroy someone, he placed a piece of paper in my palms to contact him and he asked me to talk to my mom. The Images were clear. I saw my mom in the kitchen and she got mad, torn the paper, placed her hands at the sides of my head and - Everything disappeared in a rush. Mes Souvenirs sont de retour! My Memories are Back! Slowly I came back to myself and she embraced me again. "Je Suis desolé mon bébé" she said (I'm sorry, my baby) "Tell me everything" I mumbled. I wanted to know the story of 'Ange Noir' which means 'Dark Angel' before deciding if am to save him or destroy him. We settled on my bed and she told me the incidence from 10 years ago. Now to the main story mom narrated to me. My mom was a descendant of a Powerful Witch named Anais. Virtually everyone in the family was a Witch, that was why I got powers like my mom which made me a Witch too. But we are not on the White Side. "The Domme Witches" belonged to the "Evil Witches Council" the opposite of "The White Witches Council". Anais was the leader of the Coven. For the other side "The Bomer Witches" are in the White Witches Council. Long story short, we're evil, that's why my mom became a Villain when she met Marco last year in College. One Seat was missing in The League of Villains, so Marco convinced my mom to join the team. "Having a Witch in the League, that's cool" Said Marco. So my mom agreed in the end. Two Years after she became a Villain, "The Supervillain Scientists, SVS" held a closed meeting and planned to create a "Super being" The Scientists didn't want to disclose the plan to anyone but the League were curious about the meeting, so they asked my mom to use her powers. She became invisible and joined the meeting. She heard about their plans and felt a bad aura concerning it. But the rest of the League liked it. And Marco said he was willing to surrender himself to be used for the plans. My mom thought of how to stop the main plan, so she decided to expose the plans to their opponents "The League Of Heroes". Luckily for my mom, she went to club one night and met this weird guy who wouldn't take his eyes off her. He came to her and introduced himself as Corentin Bisset and she knew his identity! Everyone knew Corentin Bisset The Great Scientist! He was a Genius! She felt meeting Corentin was a good sign that her plans to stop the SVS was right. They got along well that night and you know what I mean, don't let me go deeper. Mom knew revealing the plans to Corentin meant she was betraying "The Villain World" but she shrugged it off. She fell in love with Corentin. They were madly in love with each other. And then she summoned the courage to tell Corentin that she was a Villain. He knew she was a Witch but oblivious of the fact that she was a Villain! Well he didn't take it nicely, he was annoyed but he didn't end their relationship. Unfortunately, one month later, SVS created "The Indestructible Being" while Corentin didn't tell "The SuperHero Scientists, SHS" what Darcy told him because he was scared that the whole team would scold him for loving A Villain! It was kinda awkward! Light and Darkness loving each other? Yes! But it happened! Corentin didn't contact Darcy for a while but she called him to inform him that The SVS succeeded with their Plans. And she also broke the news that she was carrying his child (me) and she asked if he was ready to be a Father. And she would understand if he didn't want the child. "Are you crazy Darcy?! You think I'll abandon you now that you're carrying my child?" Corentin said "Well, you already abandoned me." she answered Staying away from her for a almost a month is likened unto Abandonment! "I'm sorry baby." he apologized "Why didn't you tell your team about SVS plans?" Silence No response. "I know its because you don't want them to know your lover is a Villain." She was right! "I'm very very sorry Darcy" "Its okay. What do we do about the baby?" No response came from him immediately.
